FARMERS CONVENTION.
A REMINDER THAT II CANNOT
BE "A POLITICAL BODY.

A Letter From Il Prominent Farmer, Re-
calling Resolution of the Farmers a -
sootatiou-A Protest Against Class
Rule.
10 the Editor Of The News and Cou-
Sier: respectfully ask the use of
your columns to call the attention OF
the farmers and ctizens of tho State
to the following resolution, passed
without dissenting voice at the last
regular Convention of the Farmers
Association on December |, 1887:
Resolved, That it is nct the pur-
pose Of the farmers of the State to
make their organization political
body, hostile to other classes, nor is
it their intention to attack tho intep.
rity OF our State officerS, nor their
policy TO arraign or dictate TO the
Legislature"
1t would seem clear that tho Far.
mers' Association does not authoriz
such an extravagant arraignncnt Of
the State Government as is contain ed
insthe recent "manifesto" of their exc.
cutive committee. Capt. Shell himself
was member of the committee which
reported 1t tavorably, and voted for
oho iSooluGlol' LII Illo lace OF This
determined policy Of the farmers, the
executive committee Of the Asspcia-
tion calls separate political Nomi-
mating Convention, and | must think
it not only unnecessary but totally
unauthorized. "he strongest orgAni.
Zation of farmers now in the State il
tho Alliance. That body does ne +
seem to think it proper to call y politi
cal convention and ignore all other
classes of citizens in tho State The
bylaws of that powerful ORGANIZATION
utterly eschew politics, and the
strength of the Order is devoted to the
material help of its members.
AS a member OF the Association. and
as a farmer AN compelled to think
the calling OF said convention all I'M
Wise move. The farmers have ob
tanned what they asked for, a separn,a
agriculture, callegc, ana being ab>H;
80 per cent of the voting pr nlation
OF the State, they surely cdn moiitv
the laws of The State by other metI-
ods, without makinga II bitter class en-.
test. Such 4 c'ursc cannot a,..,npli ii
any good purpose, and, in nv iuIu-
ment, will detract from the c,nServH.
tive influence which i now being rx
erted by the agricultural classes.
Besides, this rbnVert'On Of farm ;.,s
cnlled by the executive co,umittce
ignores not o"ly the professional nrd
mercantile classes, but strikes d, the
rights Of that important, Influential
and worthy class Of citizens embr, ed
under the general name Of arlis.r..
mechanics anc laborers, whose impor
tance in the development of the ,e.
sources of this State ough' H.. 80 be
nder-estimated.
The Democratic party IS styo2a
enough and good enough That rep
resents every class Of citizens, ans; all
Can have voice ia the framing nl,l
