Struck the Wrong BILLY
Patterson"
A man by the name of J. A. Eber-
hard, Of Houston County, and, we
believe, a county lecturer, introduced
some resolutions into that alliance
which for efrontery and meanness
excel anything we have known-and
then he has the cheek to send them
to US for publication! He must
think the GREAT WEST is merely USE
full as a spittoon.
These resolutions start out with a
"Whereas, the GREAT WEST pro-
nounces the Office of State Lecturer
vacant, it looks to a man up a tree
as though he were a hireling OF the
plutocrats!"-and follows with some
language evidently OF his own, in
jected into the resolution.
Now, Eberhard, are you miser-
able tool of the city-farmers, or are
you fraud? The G. W. has not pro-
nounced the Office vacant. The con-
stitution has, however, and so have
200 straight alliances. Mr.. E., have
we ever asked any favors OF your
or OF your ilk? If so, let us forget it,
and sail on our different pathways.
We assure you there is nothing in
common between us. We write for
men.
Then he asks, "where is the har-
mony promised at the State Meet
ing?" Who promised harmony?
Did the GREAT WEST? No sir-it
raked the Harmony fraud from
stem to gudgeon, as the bastard Off
spring of towards and minions! And
any man who will advise harmony
with a lot of traitors is himself tine
tured with treason!
That's the Rock we're built on,
Mr.. Eberhard, and all the gates OF
He'll and Harmony cannot prevail
against it. Any man who asks for
harmony with the Daily Globe, or
the Daily News-or the political liz
ards who change color in the sum-
mer sun, is not fit to work in the al
lance field-that is. in the field the G..
W. worked in to revive the alliances!
Then Eberhard goes on to ask the
Executive Committee to reconsider
the resolution by which the G.. W.
was made the "offcial organ OF the
State Alliance"
The G. w. never was made the Of
fetal organ of the State Alliance. It
was voted to publish the official
matter of the Executive CON-, and
officers, therein, as the constitution
required. But even this the G. W.
did not dream OF until it was done.
Then this genius quotes our state
ment that we have suppressed no
resolutions in Miss McDonald's IA
vor, and finishes off with the highly
beautiful expression Of Gratis p
