A DEAL WITH REPuBLICANs.

That portion OF Mr.. McAllister's ut
terances at Corsicana, in which he
charged that "the object OF the discus
sion OF the sub-treasury scheme was
for the purpose Of creating disunion
among the Southern farmers, and by
it aid the Republicans to elect presi-
dent in 1892, will attract serious atten-
ton and elicit comment all over the
country. He declared in his interview
with THE GAZETTE correspondent
that deal was made at the Indianap-
oils convention looking to dividing the
South in the next presidential year.
Polk, he says, is to be the third party
candidate for president and Republican
Doodle will be turned loose in the
South to enable him to draw enough
votes from the Democratic ranks in
South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,
Alabama and Louisiana to secure
the election Of Republican. II such
is Mr.. Folks little game, he will get
beautifully left. The farmers in the
states mentioned have not yet forgot
ten the wounds inflicted by reconstruc-
ton with it's aftermath of carpet-bag
and scallawag opposition and plumber.
The ominous cloud of the force bill
they still see casting its black shadow
across their hearthstones. Republican
success next year they know will pre-
cipitate the passage Of that infamous
measure, which the present president
of the United States advocated in
message to congress. They know that
every vote cast for third party can
didate will be vote cast for q Repub-
lican president, and no Southern
farmer, who has the love OF God and
the fear of Republicanism in his
heart, will cast it. Polk and his lieu
tenants may secure Republican Doodle,
but it won't quite reach far enough to
buy majority tor the party OF mis-
rule, protection and monopoly in any
one of the Southern states. Still it is
well for Democrats to heed Mr.. Meal
listers warning and keep their weather
eye open.

THE Chicago Herald of the 9th
inst. contains the following paragraph
bearing upon the office-holding capacity
OF distinguished citizen of Dallas:
DIR. Archelaus NJ. Cochran of Texas ought
to resign an Office or Two and give the other
people of the United States a chance. He
Is Il clerk in the internal revenue office at
Dallas, runs drug store, practices medi-
cine and draws salary of 81 a day as
Worlds fair commissioner. Texas is d
large state and it should be possible for
Governor Ross 10 find man for World 5
fair commissioner who wouldn't be so busy
on the outside. Besides, there is little
matter of United States law against man
drawing two salaries from the Federal
treasury.
Archelaus may be Pooh-Bah, as
the esteemed Herald intimates, but all
the same the fact does not excuse Gen.
Taylor, its erudite managing editor,
for not knowing the name of the gov
ernor of Texas. This is all the more
ilexcusable as the governor has re-
markable name for man, and Taylor
had Title Dickinson, the Worlds fair
secretary. who is from Texas, within
telephone call of his office.

chosen that part of the state lying
west OF the longitude OF Fort Worth.
This is point that should not be
lost sight of by the people of Fort
Worth. The immigration to Texas is
all to that part of the state which is
tributary to this city. The country
around Dallas and Waco is settled.
Very few people go there. Those
cities have nothing further to grow on.
Fort Worth has the whole West, the
Northwest and the Southwest to feed
UPON and to grow great upon-a coun-
try that is as yet almost unsettled
where lands are cheap and rich, where
the homes of millions are yet to be.
The West, the Northwest and the
Southwest look to Fort Worth for their
supply depot. 1t is for us to say
whether We will give them what they
ask, or send them to other places for
their needs.

BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES.

| If the action and temper OF the con-
vention which assembled at COrsicana
last Thursday are correct induces,
Macuneism has ceased to figure in
| Texas politics as an element OF serious
menace to sound Democracy. The
reputable and right-thinking members
of the Farmers Alliance have declared
| authoritatively that the organization
must be purged from all impurities
contracted by allowing professional
politicians, disappointed office-seekers
and cranks admission into the order.
They have declared in favor of return
to first principles. They have reiter-
ated and reaffirmed the purposes for
which the Farmers Alliance was orig
inally established. These purposes are
contained in the two plain and in
equivocal sentences set forth in the first
charter of the order filed with the sec
rotary of state little over five years
ago, and read as follows:
/. To educate it's members in agri-
culture and horticulture.
.. To inculcate benevolence and
charity.
These utterances embrace the entire
scope and intention of the Farmers
Grand State Alliance as chartered Oc-
tober 6, 1886. They require no parti-
san, sectarian or political test to entitle
an applicant for membership 10 admis-
sion. The object of the organization
is purely benevolent and industrial.
1t was high time for the patriotic
farmers Of the state to meet and de-
nounce the political vampires who had
fastened their talons on the vitals of q
noble order, to assemble in their might
as they have done at Corsicana, and
command: Glands off the Farmers
Alliance"
It was high time to cry halt to Ma
cune, Tracy, Sledge, Evan Jones, and
the other self-constituted statesmen
who have attempted to lead the mem
bers of noble order off in a search
after false gods, and whose machina-
tons have laid it open to the accusa-
ton that it was being made the tool
and the ally of the Republican party.
1t was high time to reclaim the order
in the language of the circular call
ing the convention together-'sfrom
the secret political organizations which
have prostituted and degr ded it and
to restore it to its original principles"
The result OF the Corsicana meeting
will be to warn the third party cranks,
Missionaries and adventures that their
nondescript organization can find no
sprouting place on Texas soil, and to
give notice to the sub-treasury advo-
Gates that they cannot use the lecture
rooms OF purely industrial, educa-
tional and benevolent order, such as
the Farmers Alliance under the primal
idea of its institution as proselyting
grounds for propagating their political
