terday, and organized by electing
Hon. r. II. Thompson of Lincoln
chairman, and r. Z. Wilson and T.
NJ. Henry of Kinds, secretaries.

renominated from the second district
by reclamation. Hon. Walter Nc
Laurin, present incumbent from the
first district, and Hon. Joseph Askew
present incumbent from the third

each having several competitors.
The Convention was composed
mainly of lawyers and professional
men opposed to the Sub Treasury,
and they carried things with high
hand all there own way. Of course
the Snb-Treasury was repudiated.
Something further will be said of
the Convention and its arbitrary acts
in our next issue.

Possibly NIOOnriSc.

The crown was formerly the fOun-
tain of monopoly. The kings grant
gave the savorite the exclusive right
to get rich in Il specified field. This
was simply the tyranny of despOtic
power and the argument against it is
easily made and impossible of refuta-
ton. But the position of a monopoly
which prevails in our republic by
means of Il combination of cash with
"shrewd practical common sense" is
not SO easily aSsailcd. 1t says, 81 am
surely free to buy what ! please
with my money in open market. |
surely have the right to combine the
money of II number of persons in
order to buy largely. Having pur-
chasedl surely have the right to hold or
sell as choose. Are not these rights in
herent an inalienablc i'll every Amer
lean citizen! If during the life of the
father of American Democracy he
had been asked this question he would
have answered yes without hesitation
But has not the inquiry Il profoundcr
and different significance in 1891 from
what it had say in 1900? If living
and questioned now would he not
scratch his head and ask for time to
consider? Might he not mutter per
plexcdly to himself: "Wcll

but drat me if | don't believe it was
moonrisc!"-THe Sunny South.

Scc'y of 9TH Cong. Dist Alliance,

For several weeks leading citizens
from almost every part of the county
have urged J. Ii. Gambrell to declare
himself as candidate for the Legis-
lature, subject to the primary elcc-
ton, but he has steadfastly declined
to announce himself, giving as a reason
that he had never had political aspi-
rations, that office seeking and hold
ing are utterly distastcful to him. Sew
eral Alliances have unanimously en-
dorSed him, however, and next week
the LEADER will contain IA commune
cation signed by sundry citizens, an

The Lincoln County Alliance en-
dorsed no ticket or slate to be sup

proper, provided all Alliance men
will support only those men for legis-
lative offices who are known to be in
full sympathy with Alliance measures
and principles.

An exchange well says "that there
is much more at stake with the farm
ers than the adoption Of the Sub
Treasury. The right to organize, and
to have their political policies take
the form of law is being openly denied
in many quarters, and secretly dis
cussed in many others. Indeed, sew
eral of the leading newspapers of this
and other States, are in favor of
disciplining all supporters of the Sub
Treasury, by denying them represen-
tation in the Democratic party, as if
they had no right to advocate any
measure for the common welfare that
had not previously received the sane
ton of machine caucus"

The following resolutions were
adopted at the last meeting of the
Lincoln County Alliance:
Whereas, The Alliance Convention
held in Ocala, Fla, last December,
was composed of many of the best,
most conscientious, patriotic, wise
and conservative citizens of this ma
ton: and,
Whereas. This body of men, as
demonstrated by their records, are in
the main in close and heart sympathy
with the farmers and,
Whereas, The said convention after
the most mature dcliberation and the
fullest discussion. adopted platform
and dcclaI alton of principles; and,
Whereas. The Mississippian, the
State Alliance organ, is antagonizing
our platform and principles there
fore be it resolved,
|. That the Lincoln County Al
lance unrcservcdly endorses and an
nounccs its entire loyalty 10 the Ocala
platform. and will stand by it with
voice and votes till its complete tri-
umph over political place
their abcttors and the money grab
hcrs.
=. That we til roughly and entirely
repudiatc the Mississippian, because
of its open hostility to our platform
and violation of our partisan
principles, and we urge Alliance men
to give it no support or countenancc
whatever, as we believe it to he a
child of Il conspiracy among politi-
clans, conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity to disrupt the Al
lance.
3. That we regard Assistant Lee
turer McAlllstcr as untrue to the
principles of the Alliance and to the
farmers interest. We regard him as
Il political ntrigucr, wholly unworthy
the position he occupies, or the con
fidence of the Alliance people. His
attacks upon our platform and open
violation of our non-partsan princi-
pies, as well as his vicious and vulgar
assaults upon members of the Al
lance, admonish our authorities to
dismiss him Immediately, and this we
demand.
+. That the secretary be hereby
instructed to furnish these resolutions
to the press for publication.
