Gen. Longstreet has exploded O
story which has been circulated for
years rs an explanation of his connec-
ton with the Republican party. The
common report has been that Long
street made up his mind on this sub
ject, ut a conference with several other
well known. Confederate Generals
soon after the close of the war; that
they all agreed to indorse the policy
of reconstruction; that Longstreet
wrote letter following out that idea,
and that In consequence of the abuse
which this action brought upon Long
street the other Confederate generals
who had agreed to so into the move
tiaent with him "backed out" Gen.
EoEgstreet was in st. Louis last
Monday, and reporter of the Globe
Democrat called his attention to the
story which has been frequently told

ter the military bill had passed, and
friends of the South felt that they
were in dark hour. The New Or
leans Times came out in strong edi
torial calling upon Hood, Wheeler,
Stewart, myself and others as South
ern leaders to join the paper in plea
for reconstruction of the Union. We
wero asked to declare in so many
words that we accepted the results

restoration of the Union.

all devoutly hoped for, but, he added,
If you declare yourself on those lines,
the Southern press and the Southern

I don't exactly remember what
were the words, but it was to the eff
feet that, if it was patriotic, I was
willing to be called fool. That af

never was an arrangement under
which my letter was to be followed.

thata number of negf6es have been

proposition the report proceeds to
l6iscuss the legal aspects of the elec

recites tho fact that in certain pro
cmcts what amounted to al eduea-
tional test (and therefore an illegal
test) was imposed by lettering the
ballot boxes, which were separate i'm
the case of each Office, and that voters
were deceived by an intentional shift

election were able to throw out all
ballots cast in the wrong boxes. There
was also, says the report, evidence
of ballot box stuffing, Summing up,

questions within the patty had de
veloped spirit of bitt teraess between
the faction and that, too, before the
organization of the Alliance-such as
would be hurtful to if not absolutely
destructive of Alliance unity. This
being true, would it not be far safer
and betterto form clubs for or against
the "movement" in which to discuss
and advance their ideas of true Dem
ocratic policy? 1 would not advise
this course in the study and discus
sion of new questions, but do earn
estiy advise the abandonment of such
action by the Alliance on these aues-
tons for the reason stated, and I
have been pleused to see th..t Cap
tain Tillman has advised tho same
course, because of his appreciation of
the danger to or organization. So,
too, has your State Lecturer, Bro.
Elder. So again, let me advise the
abandonment of such action by the
Alliance. If our people desire to give
organized expression to their views
ON these questions, let them organize
for thatpurpose, where none need be
present who are notin sympathy with
their views and purposes. In most
of our Alliances there is more or less
division of opinion on these questions
divisions that had caused irritation
of feeling before our order was organ
lied. So, again, let me advise against
such action, not becausr it is uncon-
stutional, but because it is danger
Gus to the unity and success of the
Alliance. AZ
