rHEpEoPLE AID TIE BANKS.

To calm and unprecedented mind
the assertions OF Hon. J. F. Miller in
his speech to the bankers convention
at Austin last week on 1.-THE attitude
OF the masses toward banks" would
seem tritle sweeping.
1t does not follow that because the
the farmers organization is opposed TO
national banks, that farmers are as a
rule hostile to banks or banking. The
premise does not warrant the con-
clusion. The Democratic party Of
Texas has pronounced against national
banks. Is it, too, hostile to all banks?
For years the Democratic party has re-
garded national banks with disfavor.
Was it because the attitude of the
masses toward banks is hostile? As
well say that opposition to the tariff
means hostility to all methods of taxa
ton.
Opposition TO the national bank sys-
TEN is one thing. and hostility to banks
Nu1Ic dlOlIlEI anu lOl d uIIICICuG IL1lUS
The first is champioued by the ALI
ance, and the second by anarchists if
by any one. Neither the farmers nor
any other class of producers feel any
hostility toward banks. II would be
unreasonable and the height of folly
for them to do so. Without banks,
they would be as helpless as q man
without hands or feet. They know
this as well as anybody can tell them.
As to the great dangers menacing
all our institutions from, labor organi-
cations and the Farmers Alliance, as
stated by Mr.. Miller, we think it exists
largely in the gentleman's magma
ton. His assertions under this head
appear to involve a denial TO labor
and to farmers of the right to organ
ize for purposes of mutual benefit
and protection. Such right could
only, it appears, be denied to slaves
Unless their organizations violate
some civil or moral law they certainly
can not be very heinous, for whatever
is wicked or ruinous in tendency or
design is forbidden by law. There is
no law against these organizations.
Their right to be is unquestioned. If
there be anything to question about
them it is perhaps the wisdom or ex:
pediency OF the policy of reform
adopted or suggested by them, and if
any harm results from their teaching
it will spring from those who have
made trouble and often wrought havoc
in all parties. howsoever respectable, to-
wit: the demagogues and charlatans.

BOTH Blaine and Harrison are anti
silver men. Harrison is hippodroming
through the West, where everybody is
for silver as circulating medium.
Blaine is getting ready to start his
circus through the East and will eX-
hibit to crowds of goldbugs. Harrison
is putting in his work to win friends
among the silver men, who are OPP
posed to his policy. Blaine is cum
ningly clinching his hold on the anti
silver crowd, who are already with
him. Both are working for delegates
to the national Republican convention.

VIII the additional travel that Will

if the cars are already crowded,

the enlarged demands, the larger vol

"The Fort Worth Mail is spunky

attempted to divert the funds OIL
tanned from the sale Of bonds from
their original purpose there was con-
siderable of a howl raised by the Oil
zens. The bonds were issued for the
purpose of making necessary street
and other improvements, and the
council proposed to use the money to
pay current Indebtedness and take up
outstanding warrants. Some people
stood on the street corners and made
the air blue with emphatic express
sions, while others assembled in the
lobbies of the hotels and liquid re-
freshment resorts and gave vent to
their disapproval in language that
would not be appropriate in lady's
parlor or Sunday school room. Mean
while the Mail waltzed around to the
courtroom and procured an injunction,
which has since been made perpetual,
and now the peoples money will be
expended for the peoples benefit, as
originally intended. Great paper,

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 30.-"Cleve-

Hon. Oscar R. Hundley, temporary
secretary of the committee on awards
of the Worlds fair commission, is one
of the well known Democrats of Ala
bama. He has served two terms as a
member Of the lower house of the gen.
eral assembly, and is now a state SEN
ator. He was in the assembly when
Senator Pugh was reelected, and
naturally his views upon the recent
letter of the senator are of interest.
"Of course you understand, said
he, tour people as rule have great
respect for any view entertained by
Senator Pugh. AS to his attitude in
reference to the denomination of Cleve-
land for president [ am forced to say
he does not represent the views of the
majority of the people of Alabama.
Indeed 1 might say that he represents
only small minority. believe when
the time comes for Alabama to speak
there will be no name mentioned ex-
cept that of Cleveland. Our people
will be almost unit for his renomi-
nation. L do not mean to be under
stood that the people of Alabama en-
dorse all of Mr.. CleveIand's official
acts, or indeed, all of his utterances.
but they believe him to be a man of
unquestiOnable honesty of purpose
who will do his duty under all cir
cumstances. They believe his renom-
nation would secure the success of.
the Democratic party, which is the
great deslderatum, OvershadOwing
even any personal considerations we
might have for any other candidate.u
Mr.. Hundley said further that the
Cleveland sentiment was very strong
in the last Alabama general assembly,
and he believed that Senator Pugh
would have endangered his reelection
had he given earlier impression to the
views recently promulgated. Speak
ing of the Farmers Alliance attacks
on Senator Morgan, Mr.. Hundley said
