The Thedford, (Neb.) Tribune, says;
"The people are no longer interested in
party for party success or party suprem-

in that party, without regard to its name,
that is advocating measures that are
favorable to their own material interests.

the great mission of the Farmers ALI

Dublin Texas) Progress says: "The
leading newspapers throughout the state,
as well as multitude of similar lights,
are just now discussing the third party
movement in chorus. AS to what effect
this third party, lately organized, will
have on national politics we are unable
to surmise, but the cause which gave rise
to its organization will be fresh in the
minds of the laboring people of this
country until the reforms for which they
have so long been praying are obtained.
The Baltimore american says that the
National Farmers Alliance will hold their
encampment in Maryland near Baltimore,
and the annual encampment will be held
there every year certainly for the next
five years, and it is probable that the site
will be purchased and the encampment
located there permanently. This years
encampment will be held in September.
About 200 acres of land will be needed
for the encampment, and an auditorium
will be erected which will seat 10, 900
people.
The Southern Mercury Dallas, Tex.)
says: "Loyal alliancemep everywhere
have reason to feel encouraged, especial
ly in Texas. The order is gaining in
numbers rapidly, and it is, for the first
time in its existence, practically unit
upon the demands of the National ALI
ance. The membership in every nook
and corner of the state are wide awake,
and IN many localities men unknown
upon the stump or forum are challenging
the enemies of our order to debate the
points at issue. Ere the kalends of Jan
uary, 1892, nearly every county will be
