Gov. John B. Gordon, who is now a can
didate TO succeed Senator Joseph E. Brown
in the Senate, has placed himself in line
with the farmers alliance and approves of
their entire scheme. In letter written to
the secretary of the state alliance, after re-
viewing the situation, he says: SIN view of
these efforts to secure organization during
so many years of my past life it is scarcely
necessary for me to say that I hailed the
advent of the farmers alliance as
the possible final realization of
a long-cherished hope; nor is it
necessary with my past record before you
to say that | indorse without reserve and
with unabated emphasis the policy of the
alliance for an increase of the circulating
medium of the country. BY education from
my youth up. by personal interest, and by
every consideration of the welfare of our
people. my sympathies are deeply enlisted
IN all the high purposes sought to be &C
complished by the farmers alliance. | re-
joice that the genius of the age-the genius
of organized cooperative effort--has at last
possessed, aroused, and impelled TO action
the great body of the tillers of the soil.
With wise counsels to guide them to con-
sentative action, with full recognition of
the rights of others, but uncompro-
missing resistance to wrongs upon
themselves; with relentless opposi-
tion to legislative or congressional
discrimination in every phase or form,
whether the discrimination be against
landed interests through pet banking sys-
tens or against the masses of the people
through unequal taxation, uncontrolled
corporations ard monopolies. or inioui Gus
financial policies, by unitedly combating
all these governmental partialities and
special privileges the success of this great
movement by the brotherhood of farmers
will be doubly assured, and that success
will bring not only to the farming class
but to the toiling masses of the people
speedy and substantial relief, and inaugur-
ate an era of pr sperity never known before
in the history of this republic"
