FOR THE ALLIANCE.


Those who are laboring to put
out what they call an Alliance tick
ct thereby cultivating third party
spirit can be neither good Demo
Gratis nor true Alliancemen. Sill
j. with the smoothness of schemiDg
J disslmulalion they profess Demo
cratic allegience and deny political
departure from the Order. By
what course of reasoning such a
position can be made tenable is be.
Il yond the range of common intell~
gence.
How a good Democrat can ignore
any element Of his party in the Sc
lection of officials and still be loyal
to tits past ordinary comprehension.
That. there has been too much
extravagance in the government OF
our nation in exorbitant appropria-
! tions needlossly made every man of
ordinary sense know. This fact has
served TO arouse the industrial
classes TO common effort for re-
form, and whom the wealth produ-
cling yeomanry of America are once
well awakened to unfairness IN GOV
ernment administration, they will
i Immediately inaugurate such u revo-
| luton as will secure to all classes
| equal opportunities under The law.
1t seems that the Cincinnati meet
ing was not an exclusive alliance
| one, but conference of ali labor
organizations both white and black
It further appears that il lappropria-
ted alliance thunder in order TO
catch the Alliance strength and
organized itself INTO a society bear
ling the attractive appelIation Of
Peoples Party.
! This meeting called by the leaders
of the various labor orders did not
claim the platform it put forward in
its entirety but conceded to each
order represented such part of lis
demands as was necessary to attach
it to the party. Furthermore, its
action was so undecisive as to make
1T appear that the conference was
4 called in order to suggest that
either the Democratic or Republi-
can party should accept the meas
ures formulated or adopted by it
under the penalty, in case ofreiusal,
1 Of absorbing the agricultural and
1 labonng classes 10 the destruction

THE COMING BANQUET.
Final Arrangements are being Made for
the Event.

Final Arrangements are being Made for
the Event.
The Bellows Falls club held it's regu-
lar monthly meeting Monday night.
Only a few were present and in the alb
sence of the secretary it was impossible
to transact any business. The meeting
was, therefore, adjourned until Tuesday
at z 30 p. m. and the evening devoted to
sociability. Tuesday evening the regu-
lar routine business was transacted, and
then the subject of the coming banquet
came up for discussion. Tuesday, June
2, was fixed upon as the date. The
place is as yet uncertain, but probably
Union hall will be chosen because of the
convenience of the hotel parlors. The
guests invited are Secretary of War
Proctor, assistant Secretary Lewis A..
Grant, Governor Page and others prom
inent in the state. Secretary Proctor
will be here if possible and it is almost
certain that Gen. L. A. Grant will be
present. Never in the history of the
state has such a banquet been projected.
The benefits to accrue from it will be in
calculable to the town, and the action of
the business men here will stimulate
others in all parts of the state to similar
efforts to have the advantages of the
state or section of it discussed at an as
semblage of representative business men.

America, it is said, was the first six
driver engine ever run on the Central

and presents situations which give the

nifty to display his powers. The plot is
full of inconsistencies, but the moral of
the play Is excellent. The cast is COM
