from that state. This fall we expect

"You have been mentioned as
the probable Alliance presidential
candidate in 1892, Colonel Polk,
have you not?"
"Well, the newspapers said some
time ago that l wanted to be gov
ernor of North Carolina, and when
that did not transpire | was an
nounced as desiring to come to the
senate to fill Vance's old shoes.
That statement, likewise, turned
out to be incorrect. You can draw
your own conclusion about the re-
port going around. Do not forget,
there will be an Alliance national
ticket in the field next fall"
The Alliance headquarters is not
maintained on mere talk. There is
apparently plenty of money at COM
mand. At the principal office there
are stacked up hundreds of huge
packages of printed matter for dis
tribution. The typographical work
is first-class, and there is nothing
cheap or shoddy about it. On
North Capitol street, almost within
the shadow Of the senate, four
story printing.house has been estab-
lished, and within it is as busy as a
beehive. A large force of women
are employed in the mailing depart
ment and in clerical work, showing
that there is no prejudice against
the softer sex. In short, one of the
secrets of the success of the AL
lance has been the interest taken
in it by the women. An extensive
literary bureau is also maintained.
In all of these departments there is
a spirit of enterprise and enthusi-
asm which may give the key to the
success that has been attained in
Alliance undertakings, and which
has caused such fright in old polit-
ical circles.-S Louis Republic.

The Alliance Proposes to Retire
the Doodle Senators.


Quoted by the National Farmers Al
lance. At the head Of the nation
al body is Col. L. l.. Polk of North
Carolina, a man of very considera-
bic executive ability who gives most
of his time to the work of organiza-
ton. There are no mysteries about
the political movements which are
planned and directed in Colonel
Folks office. The visitor who
comes seeking information can get
it without the necessity Of applying
diplomatic inquiries. The head of
the farmers movement will frankly
and unreservedly name the men in
each state whom the Alliance has
selected for retirement from public
life. lie will state how they expect
to accomplish it, and whether or
not the outlook is favorable to the
success Of the Alliance. In that
respect this political headquarters
es a novelty.
"Our campaign at present." said
Colonel Polk to your correspondent
to-day, "is not to elect president
or to secure the governorships Of
states. We are striking at the mo-
nopolists in the United States SEN
ate. SO far we have landed three.
The first was Senator Hampton, of
South Carolina, then John j. In
gals of Kansas, followed by Gideon
G. Moody, Of South Dakota. The
next one to go into retirement will
be John Sherman, of Ohio. Matt
Ransom of North Carolina will also
be retired. The fate of these two
senators is just as certainly sealed
as that of John j. ingalls,.
owe made two mistakes that will
not be repeated" continued Colonel
Polk.
"With complete control of the
North Carolina Legislature we al
lowed Senator Vance to be re-elect-
ed on the strength Of his promises
that he would be faithful political
servant in the interests Of the peo-
pie. The election of Governor
Gordon Of Georgia was a mistake,
as he has shown himself to be far
more interested in his own personal
success than that of the Alliance
Hereafter no promises of the poll
ticians of the old parties will be
accepted"
GLOW do you propose to defeat
John Sherman in Ohio ~
owe have him defeated. In the
Legislative districts the Alliance will
support candidates pledged to vote
against Sherman. The voting

is 10000. Our members, however,

would have a good moral effect to
elect state officers, merely as an ev-
idence of the strength of the organ
ization, but our primary object is to
secure the balance Of power in the
legislatures, which enact the laws
and elect United States senators.
Probably many Alliance members
will support the Peoples ticket in
Ohio, but there is no movement to
have them do so. Consequently
the Alliance is not fighting McKin-
ley; but do not infer that | think
he will elected"
"Can Senator Wilson of Iowa be
returned 2"
We are not figuring much on re-
suits from Iowa." replied Colonel
Polk. "The organization of that
state is weak, though the popular
assumption is that we are making a
great fight there. The idea is a
mistaken one. The most we expect
to get out of the contest in Iowa is
to determine what strength the
movement is developing there. No
scalps are expected. In the north
west, however, the voters seem to
be more ready to break away from
the old parties than in other sections
of the country" .
"Will the Alliance undertake to
dictate to the successor of Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania
Gas matters stand now, think
not. The state is not yet sufficient
ly organized. However, the work
is progressing rapidly. You do not
see much about it in the newspapers,
but about two local Alliances per
day are being organized in the
state. By the time Senator Gamer
on's term expires we will probably
be ready to supply his successor.
In New York state the situation is
much the same. Nevertheless,
Senator Hiscock will be retired in
1898, though other causes will op-
crate to that end besides the spread
of the Alliance movement"

The trial aud conviction OF William J.
Gibbons recalls the excitement when the
arrests were made, and this ratified state
that each one Of our contemporaries were
in. One paper threatened a mob, and
the two others were anxious for the re-.
lease OF the barn burners for lack OF evi
dence against them
or course the News took the most fool

We have not fallen into a foolish

EVENING JOURNAL has not offered
any foolish vagaries to tickle the shallow
minds Of silly people. We have ali
along considered these arrests grave
matte and presumed that the DuPonts,
the detectives employed by them, and
Mes r.. Sasse and Biggs knew what they
were doing and that their characters

financial standing, and regulations were

In the light Of the events which have

Of Gibbons for the crime OF arson on the

course Of the EVENING Journal and the
vagaries, the Incompetence and the par

contemporaries to shoot of on the various
