THE ALLIANCE PROGRAMME.

Col. L. L. Polk, the president OF the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, has unbosomed himself as
to the political plans and purposes of
the order. Here is aracteristic
paragraph from Col. Folks talk to a
newspaper reporter.
''Our campaign at present Is not to elect n
President, or to secure the govcrnorship OF
States. We are striking ut the nOnopolisis in
the United States Senate. So far we have landed
three. The first was Senator Hampton, OF South
Carolina; then John j. lngals, OF Kansas, fol
lowed by Gideon c. Moody, of South Dakota
The next one to 80 into retirement will bc John
Sherman, of Ohio. Matt Ransom. OF North Caro-
tina, will also be retired. The fate OF these two
Senators is Just certainly scaled ~ that OF
John j. ingalls,"
Col. Polk declares that in Ohio no
legislative candidates who are for Sher-
man will be supported bp Alliance men,
and that Sherman is already defeated.
Another part of the programme is to
GUST Senator Iliscock, of New York, in
1893, elect two Senators from MARYLAND
next winter, leaving German at home,
and ultimately retire Pugh and Morgan
of Alabama.
Colonel Polk laments the re-elcctit n
of Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
and the election Of Gordon, Of Georgia,
as mistakes that tho Alliance will ne, G :
again permit to be made. lie says that
there will certainly be an Alliance
ticket 10 the field in '92, and he evil
IDENTIFY expects to head it.
"This fall we expect to secure com
plete control OF Virginia." says Col.
Polk. This sentence alone would
stamp the whole story as visionary in
the highest degree if it were not full OF
other statements equally as reckless.
Col. Polk is a fine talker, and has a
peculiar faculty Of looking on the
bright side OF things when the right
side is not there, especially If Polk is
interested
He once saw fortune in saw mill
lima. That didn't pan out. Then he
turned his eyes upon the visions to be

the liveliest rate wars in the history of
Texas is in progress between the South
