der Grover Cleveland's administration,

900. From March 1889 to March 1891,
under Benjamin Harrison's administra-
ton, the national debt was reduced

The declarations of DR.. Talbert, the
Alliance leader in South Carolina, in re-
gard to the purposes and expectations Of
the Alliance, particularly of the south,
as to national politics, have a resolute
sound. and coming from the source they
do would be taken as significant, but for
simultaneous statements of elections in
different portions of the south, and espe-
cially in Florida, where the Democrats
triumph with their usual majorities. AS
Senator Edmunds remarked the other
day, the Democratic party is not serious
ly threatened by the existence OF the
Alliance. The conclusion reached
months ago as to the real object of the
Alliance as political organization, that
is, that it is simply an auxiliary to the
Democratic party and is working to give
that party universal control of the gov
eminent, becomes palmer and palmer
every day.
