other candidates that Judge Crisp, OF
Georgia. Is the best man for the speskership.
The old members generally appreciate his
peculiar fitness for the position and have
40 doubt Of his election. Mr.. Mills
has performed party service which
we all appreciate and / regret deeply
that he shou "a run for an Office to which he
cannot be elected. Many of us will vote
against him with regret that we feel COM
PEELED 10 90 so. but "a man however able and
distinguished. is not suited for every pOsition

vote for him. lie is sound on all Democratic
principles. as all old members who

serve the party on the floor and on the stump
Le has few equals. lt is not disparagement Of
his ability to say that ne is not Just fitted for

as place whore work must be done, and
great skAl as manager and great, good Judg-

THE ALLIANCE AND FINANCES.
Speaking Of the Farmers Alliance move
ment and of finance Mr.. Hemphill said. The
Alliance folks are very active. do not sec
that here has been any diminution of their
activity, but / DO not think that the Alliance
of the South could be led into any third party
movement Many of their demands are
proper enough and grow out of the present
condition of affairs. / think that
reduction of taxation and a safe and
proper increase of the currency will satisfy
them. Undoubtedly there is need of more
currency. and think 1t Is possible TO make
the necessary increase in perfectly safe man
Der, 30 that one dollar will be as good as any
other dollar with any depreciation Of the value
