1t must be trifle lonesome for the
opponents of the sub-treasury plan as
the news of the unanimous Endorsement
1t has received from the several state
alliances that have been held is brought
to their notice.
Men don't go to hardware store
for groceries nor to grocery for hard
ware. The same, if you are looking for
reform you want to go where it is kept
in stock-not to either of the old parties

there would be some delegates opposed
to the Ocala demands, and that these
tools might coalesce with them, got
gloriously left-Southern Mercury.
Watch the man who is, in his own
estimation, the only white sheep in the

There will be a fusion in 1892 It
will be fusion of the two o. P.-the
G. o. P. and the D. o. P. (never mind

Knights of Labor undertook to get the

enthroned, and the gold-bug put under
the chair. Great West

For more than year a scheme has
been secretly planned to put the state
militia under the direction and paw of
the war department The regular and
militia officers, as far as heard from,
favor the scheme. OF late we have
heard much said about centralization
and paternalism. In this proposition
we have it in its worst form. The Mer-
curry suggests that the people watch
this movement closely. as there is un-
doubtedly some occult power behind it
1t has significant meaning. g.-Southern
