That organization is rot strong
enough to capture the government
from the iron grip OF tie republican

wrench the tyrant's grip from the

Ifthey bad the power TO accomplish
their purposes We could be assured
| Of change at least if not for the
better, It could hardly be worse.
The light shoulder is badly bruised,
and to so arrange the collar as not to
press on the sore, viii give present
relief to the wounded part, although
u will brulse the other parts and
affect the whole body. Bu. we know
aud all but idiots know. without the
Totes of the democratic party the
the republican party will continue in
power, and that the whole machinery
Of the government will be run in the
interest Of the National banks, cor
porations, Wall street and the man
hufacturing and mining Industries Of
the country to the exclusion of every
other class except the demagogue
and tie stlre7 up of strife.
1.-THE Alliance order and democrats
are not going to unite and harmo
nize, then it is absolutely certain
neither can be successfuI. Their
wranglings and discussions assure,
beyond the possibility of a doubt,
the triumph Of the republican party,
the author and Gnisher Of all our
troubles. We have great many
fools in both organjz ations and il
they are TO control, then farewell 10
all hopes Of relief forever.
Just at the time The North began
ID trust the South, and tue country
began to rely on the democratic
party for relief, this new Organization
began to make demands most Of
which had been earnestly contended
f1r by the democratic party for more
than twenty years. One or two OF
the Alliance demands can never lie
granted without making the Amer
lean people Slaves for all time to
come to the money power Of the land,
the very thing we have been trying
to avoid for more than twenty years.
All the other demands are democratic
demands and have been and vii! be
until relief comes IN some form or
another. There is no use of bat one
political party or organization to
] fight the republican party, and that
organic alton is the democratic organ
izatlon which has lived more than a
hundred years and will live until
time shall be no more, if human
liberty is to live upon the face of the
earth. How can the Alliance accom-
plish more tnan the Alliance and
i~Aio-t RliC l'ai " CtHDlDbU-WH. =
al. the Alliance members North were
members of the grand old,de mocratic
party2
There are great many l7discreet
men in the Alliance fighting and
defying the democratic organizat1 s
and doing all in their power to Wild
the supposed breach between the twd
organizations. And this IS being
done by and for the benefit of the
office seekers and wonld be Office
holders. If the democratic party
wonld give a sufficient guarantee
that in the future none but Alliance
demagogues and Alliance men ahould
be put in Office, we would bear 20
more denuncia.lons Cf The democratic,
nor Of third party. The great
OBJ ct of McCune & Co. would be
accomplished and the people and the
lsoorer could 60, for them.
Now what can | say for the leaders
OF the democracy Many OF them
are honest able faithful mon hat q
