if relief was desired and wished for
there could be no division among white
men. They must stand solidly and
unitedly together.

the "Alliance" and | am ready to
say that L recognize and believe that
four-fifths of this great 2an's life work
has been for the interest of the people
who compose the membership of the
Farmers Alliance. Mr.. Beddingficld
favored q sys' EN- Of primaries by which
every man could have free expression
of choice. By tins means only could
good men be nominated. When once
nominated, they must b. elected, and
therefore good men must be put before
