ArARMRRs MEETING

There was call meeting Of the farmers Of
Union County at Union May I, and the
Alliance Editor happened to be there by
special request. While the good farmers
talked the Editors head ached. The good
farmers felt aggrieved, and passed resolutions
which they requested to be published, which
their sentiments shows.
Without the least ref sctions on the con-
vention, but to relieve the misconsiructions
Of some wish to state, once for all, that tho
meeting Was not,an Alliance meeting. The
Alliance is not political organiz.tioo. Our
constitution does NOT interfere with our politi-
cal or religion, opinions. Il only aims to
mako us, Of every fsi,h and creed, better men
and citixcps. Every member Of the AL lance
is at liberty to have, aud should sand by, his
preferences for men and measures, and
assert those opinions squ.rely ani fairly us
he thinks, proper but hope never to see the
Alliance, that is doing SO much good for the
farmer, lay aside its hrst estate aud 60 as .
body to dabbliug solely in politics. No, my
skeptical friends, / believe we have too many
gooi and true men in our order to allow us
to drift as a body solely into po'itis We are
the same true mcu that we were in days gone
by, aud will support men will do the most
good to the most people.

week to fully express our opinion upon the
Lexington iynching affair but We have no
hesitancy in saying that wo think judge
Wallacc's action i'm the matter was in full ac-
cordance with justice and humanity. The
prisoner Ind been convicted of committing
an outrage upon young white woman, and
was sentenced to he hung for it. The day
before that appointed for The execution, the
prisoners Attorney presented to the Judge
an affidavit, stating tha. it could be proved
that the alleged victim herself bad said that
no outrage had been committed on her, with
strong presumptive evidence that her tcsti-
mony at the trial was given under undue in
fluencc. She, however, does not shield
Leaphart from the charge Of taking violent
holi Of her to prevent her alarming the
neishbors, but she p'ainly says she thought
lie intended to roo the house au d not mocst
her. Her brother also makes similar
affidavit.
Upon this new light upon the case Judge
Wallace asked the Governor to grant re-
prievc un'il au investigation of the matters
sot forth in the affidavit could be had ; feel
ing it TO be his solemn duty, as n just and
humane Judge, TO see, as far as possible, that
no man be punished for crime he did not
commit.
