CHARLOTTE. N G.. June 1.-The Alliance in
North Carolina will not support Cleveland in
'02. This statement can be relied on as the
true position OF this great order. President
Polk in his paper. tho organ Of the Alliance in
this State. has for the past three weeks given
the Democratic party to understand that tho
farmers would stick to their position on the
silver question. and that II that party insisted
on bringing Cleveland to the front In the next
Presidential campaign there will be a breach
which cannot be bridged BY any effort on the
part Of the Democrats. The third party has
many supporters in this State. and all Of its
members are from the Democratic ranks. This
means an unmistakable split. Democrats out
side OF the Alliance see this very plainly. but
are entirely powerless to check 1t.
