"NoTHING could more completely
stamp the Farmers Alliance as Dem
ocratic organization, says the Cleveland
Leader, "than its bitter condemnation
of the Lodge bill. 1t is distinctly and
emphatically party measure. The two
great political parties of the country
are, and have been for some months
distinctly divided upon it, and along
comes an organization which sets itself
up as non-partisan, as superior to al
political considerations, and it throws
whatever influence it may possess fol
the Democracy. If the Alliance is not
an adjunct to the Democracy, then what
is it?'

don, of Georgia, for Senator.
