AN ALLIANCEMAN BY BIRTH.
The speaker had been an allianceman
ever since he was born, and had furnished
his views in bis book, Plutocracy. He had
been with the alliance In their battles, be-
cause he believed they we're
ciple, and oppose monopoly In every
form. The world had been electrified last
night, when it was announced that the
alliance had laid down Its arms at monopo
! ly's very feet. IAN order organized for the
express purpose of fighting monopolies, on
achieving its first victory, 10 surreader to
monopoly! There must be some explana-
tion, and the air is full of rumors."
A TRAP FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
A trap had been set for the legislature a,
far back as January by men working in
| Mr.. Calhouu's interest. When certain

ceased to appear in that paper. The All
dnce Farmer had once been loud in its
praise of the speaker. 1t was to weaken
Gov. Gordon. When the Norwood counties
began to act for him it dropped his namt
from its columns, doubtless because hG
s euied to be growing streng for coming
candidate. On Oct. 25. just in tinss for elt
legislature, The National Econontisi
had come out with an editorial
by the celebrated, the very cele-
brated Dr. Macune. Among othei
things this editorial said in substance: "OuI
readers are presented with an admirable
article by Georgian an author who ha
published but one article heretofore, bu
that has gained circulation so wide as tc
mark it as national document. The arti-
Gle shows the sincerity of the writer, anC
makes it evident that his indorsement o
alliance principles springs from his heart.
A DIAGNOSIS OF HIS HEART.
"The doctor,n said Mr.. Norwood, "haC
no doubt made thorough diagnosis Of Mr.
Calhoun's heart. | should suggest that il
has shown fatty degeneration of late from
too much love Of the alliance" Then, Goa
tinung from the DOCTORS editorial, he said
Toe author of the article will play no un
important part in the affairs of this countr,
for the next twenty years.
| "Dr. Macune, not to show too strong 6
leaning toward Georgian" criticises hin
a little for being democrat. However, tn,
editorial says republican would credit hi
sentiments to the grand old party, and it i
| all right. The democrats Of the south will
| have an opportunity, and the farmer be re-
warded with victory.
DIFFERENCE INDEaD.
at seems" said Mr.. Norwood, "that tb
| opportunity came last night. but many pol
iticians have found big difference between
nomination and election. The sappinf

has been subjec.ed for the last six months
has been of late spasmodic, but NOR,
vigorous that before. But tht
Gordon alliancemen threw a bombshell inti
the caucus nesting on the night of tht
fourth which alarmed the underhandeC
workers for MIR. Calhoun, and from tha
time ne shrunk away until there was moth

SHARP TACTICS.

In conclusion Mr. Norwood appealed to
