WON THE LAST GAME.
THE wlNsToNs DEFEAT THE OLD 90
MiNloNs BY SCORE OF TO2.
Tim West Pitched for the Richmonds and
the Tar-Hseis Hit Him Hard-The Con-
test Devoid Of Special Interest.

The Old Dominions put Tim" West
in thu box yesterday afternoon, and
in consequence Of this and his poor sup
port the winstons came out victors in the
game at Island Park. -, i.
The contest throughout was devoid OF
any special interest, and sofew OF the VIZ
GINA boys managed to get beyond hrst
base that the 773 spectators had but Little
to get excited over. .,
McGann pitched for the visitors and held
his opponents down TO six base-hits, While
the Carolinians found" West for seven
singles. q two-bagger. and two home runs runs
Both OF the sphere-tossers were eAceeu,
ingly wild, i've of the Old Domlnions anu
fo,,r of the Tar Heels reaching their bases
ON balls. The catehers. however, ala
faithful work and wsre always ready 10
gather in the third strike when the Dals-
men failed TO smite the ball.
yyyrLr BATTING OF TIE vIRoISrASs.
The Old Dominions succeeded IN making
one run in the first and one in the second
inning, but after this tneir enofts WIN tno
hat were almost infantile, and they were
totally unable TO increase their score.
Tbs Winstons commenced with two runs
in the latter half of the first inning ana
added three more to these in the course
McGnlre covered second base for the
Virginia boys. and played good game, as
did also Cullen. Harrison distinguished
himself by his clever work as short-stop,
but batted miserably. though his record
with the stick compared beautifully with
Iumsden, who struck out three times ana
got his base on balls when his other cnanc'
came.
THE DoNATIASs AND wIYsToss TO PLAY AGAIN.
Epripht seemed somewhat of" but
made several beautiful plays which re-
deemed his lost reputation IN part.
The Donati Giants will try their for
times with the Winstons again tomorrow.
Plav will be commenced at 1880 O'Clock in
the afternoon. O'Rourke. the terror OF
the Carolinians, will pitch for the iltans.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
ORANGE co. ALLIANCE.

WHEREAS, We are being frequently
denounced, traduCed and slandered by
certain newspapers and politicians in
the State; and whereas, most of the
errors of the members of the last Gen
eral Assembly, whether they be errors
of omission or commission, are being at
tributed to the Alliance as a political
party by said politicians and papers,;
and whereas, great good has been OBJ
tanned by our order through the efforts
of our committees both State and Ma
tional; therefore be it
ReSOtUed, That we condemn such I'M
just political warfare against our order
as being unfair and directly against
the good of our order and the country
at large.
I'd, That we send words of cheer and
thanks to our committees for their
untiring efforts in our behalf and pledge
them u hearty support in the future.
Sd, That we will d~eprecate sec
tiOnal strife and controversy of a
partisan nature, but in brotherly love
and fidelity to the order, we will ad-
here to the principles as laid down and
adopted In the great national platforms
OF u conventions, held in Ocala and
st. Louis, wherefore we reaffirm and
auOpG n same platforms and pledge
our best efforts to obtain these prin-
ciples embodied in and part of the law
OF the land and especially that portion
know as the Sub-Treasury plan.

TO RETURN.

President Hall, Of Missouri. some
time ago requested each Sub-AIIiance
in the State to vote on the Sub-Treasurv
scheme and on independent political
action, at the same time using every
means within his power to turn the
people against these two measures.
The Alliances have been following his
instructions far enough to take the
vote requested, but as the reports from
the different Sub-Alliances appear in
the local papers it is as far as they did
follow. Nearly every one Of them are
in favor of the Sub-Treasury plan and
the Peoples Party. At their next State
meeting Mr.. Hall will be allowed to re-
turn to the Democratic party where he
belongs Western Advocate.

WHAT IS TO BE THE ENDOFT THIS
AGITATION?

Mr.. EDITOR:-COncessiOn must be
made, shall we hope to get all that we
demand. Need we expect this? The
grasp of avarice is tenacious, the plans
of our despoilers were we'll laid.
Money is a power. In this struggle to
regain our last inheritance, does not
the voice of wisdom admOnish us to
go slow? Shall we heed it? or shall
we hazard our cause on the throw of a
die? This is an age of evolution; an
age of thought, reason, war in it's dis
tinctiOn; has given way to arbitration,
differences are adjusted on a basis of
equity, right. Satisfied as we must be
that our cause is a just one, a we
not afford to make haste slowly? To
bide our time? [ realize the fact that
our necessities seemingly demand that
relief shall be granted without delay,
that to have it long deferred is to
undergo ruin with all that it implies,
yet in this we may be mistaken. SLOW
and sure" is a rule it is we'll to OBJ
serve. Nothing gained in sticking till
the iron is hot. The leaven is at work;

Mr.. EDITOR:-On Saturday, June

by District Lecturer Smith, who gave
us an earnest exhOrtatiOn on prompt
ness in attendance on the stated meet
ings and faithfulness to u obliga-
ton.
At I o'clock brethren Phillips and
Broughton, who were doing the barbe-
cuing. announced that dinner was
ready, and it was a dinner sure
enough. Our wives and daughters had
brought their baskets from home filed
with good things for the inner man,
and the barbecue was done to a
turn" and ~gloriously seasoned. Every
body had enough and to SPAR; but
still there was lemonade and fruit to
destroy, and all ate and drank till
they could hold no more.
After dinner Our Lecturer, Bro. z.

words on our duty as members of the
Alliance. to each other and to the
country at large-interspersed his re,

came District Lecturer Smith, and il
