WHO CONSTITUTE THE ALLIANCE.
THE TOILING FARMERS OR
COL. L. l.. POLK?
A Plain Question Asked.
lPittSbOro Record

Does Col. Polk belong to the AL
lance, or does the Alliance belong to
Polk? This question just now seems
both proper and pertinent, because he
is trying to create the impression that
lie is the alliance, and that anything
said in enlargement of him is an at
tack on the Alliance. With all due
Difference to the "Kurnel" we do
most emphatically insist that he lacks
a great deal of being the Alliance, and
we would even mildly suggest that
probably the Alliance could get along
as we'll without him as with him. But
he might not be able to get along as
we'll without the Alliance, if the fu-
ture may be judged by the past.
Before he joined the Alliance he had
signally failed at everything he had
undertaken, and was in a most impe-
cunious condition. But now after
holding lucrative Office in the AL
lance he has just had a handsome
dwelling built at Raleigh, aad is draw
ing salary of $1,000 a year. How
many other members of the Alliance
have been SO fortunate? Doubtless 1t
would please him very much for the
members of the Alliance to think that
he was their own peculiar champion,
and that he was being prosecuted as a
martyr for their sakes, and all the
while drawing big salary. But there
are too many intelligent members of
the Alliance, for them to be beguiled
into any such ridiculous idea. There
tore when he attacks Zeb. Vance, and
the latter's friends in turn attack him,
it will not do tor him to try to hide
behind the Alliance, and claim that
the Alliance is being attacked. 1t is
not fair or manly, nor is it true.
None of Fance's friends have made
any attack on the Alliance, or said a
single word in Disagreement of that
grand organization. Indeed many OF
Vance's best friends and warmest adj
vocateS are true and staunch members
of the Alliance, and they are members
from principle and not for office. Can
this be said of Col. Polk

ROGERS. OF NORTHAMPTON.

Who is Rogers, of Northampton ?
He is man of good report among his
neighbors and is the nominee of the
Democratic convention of the second
Congressional district of North Caro-
lima.
We are all for Rogers. Few of US
knew three days before the conven-
ton that we had such man, but it is
no unusual thing for the rural districts
of Carolina to bring to the front men
Of genius, fully equipped for useful
ness in high and honorable positions
There is Rogers in Congress now
He represents district in Arkansas
and is admitted to be one of the best
members in the House He is thorn
in Reeds side and we are proul to
learn that he is native of North
Carolina. We will duplicate the bill
by sending another Rogers to Con-
gress from this old North State.
They say, "the Alliance did it."
Well, if the farmers will do as well in
making crops as they dc in producing
candidates all of us will soon be rich.
This writer has INDUCED in little ex-
travagance, in prospect of better times,
and even now feels the exhilarating eff
feet of a good supper. Hurrah for
Rogers!
But Mr.. Rogers does not appear be-
fore the country as an Alliance man.
He is the Democratic nominee, and
under the broad folds of the Demo
cratic flag he marches to victory
What is it to be a Democrat 1t is
to stand for the right; to feel the
throb of humanity, see the wants OF
humanity and have the courage to
strike for humanity; it is to stand by
the Constitution, and under its broad
shield defend American honor and
American interests; it is to stand by the
State and defend the liberties of the
people. At this time, and in the
present emergency, Democracy means
opposition to the tariff bill, opposition
to the force bill, opposition to monopoly;
and it means the advocacy OF equal
protection, free elections, and a fair
chance for every man in the battle OF
life. Democracy means can insollu-
BILE union of indestructible States, -
bound together by sacred recollect.ons,

SENATOR VANCE SPEAKS AT
GOLDSBORO.
He il Listened to by Multitude Gath
cred From far and Near, and Talks
for Two Hours Amid Great .Enthu-
SiaSm.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer
GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Sept. l3.-
Senator Vance spoke here this morn
ing upon the court house square, which
was thronged up in the thousands.
1t was a great speech of two hours
uninterrupted talk, and received closest
attention by the great gathering who
had assembled from miles around in the
country and from along the lines Of the
several railroads to hear him. He
opened with a comprehensive review
Of the political outlook of the country,
and showed that the North in Congress,
through it's Lodge bill and it's votes on
the Northern exemptions and the
Southern tariff duties; citing with force
the BINDERS Irvine and jute bagging, is
seeking again to raise and foster Sec
tional animosities of the deepest and
most cutting nature.
He spoke Of the financial policy of
the country, its tendency to centaliza-
ton Of wealth in the hands of the
classes to the detriment, impoverish-
ment and weakening of the masses.
He reviewed the evils, consequent
upon the characterization of silver, and
advocated its free and unlimited COIN
age, saying it is the money Of the COM
mon people, while gold is the money Of
Kings and Princes.
He reviewed the history of the tariff,
how it had its incipiency in the desire
to aid few infant industries, just
starting in America away back yon-
der in the early days of the nation, and
how as industries increased in num-
Der each sought the tariff protection &C
corded others, until the whole scope of
mans industry is now seeking protec-
ton; while the farmer alone of all,
who feeds all and pays for all, has
the price Of cotton, fixed in Liverpool
where it comes in competition with the
products of the world in a free market.
His tariff review was comprehensive
embracing the whole scope of the peo-
pies grieviences, and he spoke in a
most mastery and convincing manner
that will 60 with the people and not
be forgotten when voting time comes
again.
He reviewed his position on the Sub
Treasury bill, which is already well
known through his letter to President
Carr, of the Alliance, and his more re-
cent differences through the medium of
the newspapers.
He reviewed his SO years of political
life, at times reaching the topmost
heights of pathetic eloquence that moved
the hearts OF his hearers almost to wor-
ship of the man.
Great indeed is Zebulon B. Vance,
and long will he live in the hearts OF
his people and never will they forsake
him.

So it seems that the stewards on the

Itseems very strange thatthe customs ad.

connivance of the chief officers of the
