lish the letters from the two Milwaukee
reporters?
* We are requested to state that
Hon. W. f. Stroud will address the
Alliance people at Flint Ridge Church.

What is the matter with Bro.
Hall, up in Missouri? His State car
ried the Sub-Treasury by a vote of 50
to 30, last week. Hurrah for Missouri,
It was Jerry Simpsons opponent
for Congress who charged that he
didn't YEA socks. Jerry says he got
the other fellows socks and shoes, too.
when the election came off.
Once more we rise to remark
that Jerry Rusk must improve on his
plan of running the weather. Our
people don't need rain seven days in
the week. A word to the wise don't
seem sufficient, however.
The Kentucky election resulted
as follows: Peoples party elected 70
members Of the Legislature; Demo
Gratis, so; Republicans, Is. SO the
Peoples party has a majority Of Smem-
bers Over both old parties.
There are eighty-six rich men in
the U. S. Senate, and two Alliancemen.

That circular did the work. The
next time it goes out it will be stamped

Lost, strayed or stolen, a COPY

tween the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock. One
of the celebrated "Advocates-the-Su b,
Treasury-cirCularS" will be given aSa
reward for any information.
The Ne1r8 and Observer thanks
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER for setting
it straight before the public. This is
not the first time we have shown it up
in it's true light. We are glad to know
that it is polite enough to return thanks
for a favor that was so ~unpalatable to
it, however.
Bro. H. D. Edgerton, Of Frank
lin county, has been a member of the
Alliance four years andh las only missed
one meeting. Bro. w. H. Hill is a
member of the same Alliance-Pincy
GrOve-and has not missed a single
meeting. How is that for sticking to
what you promised to stand up to?
The NeacS and Observer of the
Goth says the associate editor and bust
ness manager of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER went over to the Chronicle
office Tuesday and asks if they carried
an order from the boss. Neither the

It is due Mr.. Fl. B. Hardy, of the
State Chronicle, to state that he tele-

expenses of hall rent, &c, during the
meeting of the State Alliance there

the Teachers Assembly did engage the
Bell Lall, but people would not &C
cept that it that way.
The time has been when a Gov,
ernor of a State could have drivena
crowd of farmers out of a hall bya
motion of the hand. But things have
changed. The other day the Governor
of Georgia arose in the State Alliance
to dispute a point of parliamentary law
with President Livingston. The Gov,
