The Alliance is a good thing If 1t were
used to benefit the farmers, but its only
use now is to put few fools into once,
and these Office-seekers know about as

or about as much as mule.
MANCHESTER TIMES.
Unalterably opposed to the Sub
treasury plan, because it is undemo-
cratic, impracticable, and would ruin
the farmers of the South. Believe in the

run the Democratic party.
MARTIN MAIL.
We are not in favor of the Sub

We think the Alliance would be a
good thing if it was devoted entirely TO
| the farming interests, and If it was
kept out of politics.
MEMPHIS LEDGER.
L disapprove of the Sub-treasury plan
as being undemocratic, unconstitutiona
