ALLIANCE RESOLVES.
Mt. Moriah Alliance for ISarl<s-
dale and the Sub-Treasnry.
Montgomery Alliance also Solid
ON the OcaIa Demands.

Whereas. Representatives of the
farmers and toilcrs did meet at st.
Louis. and did publish to the world II
platform of principles. and after II
year of calm dclibcratiOn, did lc-
adopt these same principles ut Ocala,
after mature deliberations, with but
four dissenting voices; now, there
fore,
Resolved, That we, the members of
Mt. Moriah Alliance No. $50 of Lincoln
county, Miss, do most solemn
/ ~ pledge ourselves to uphold
and defend every principle contained
in said platform until the Supreme
Council of our Order shall see fit to
change whatever may prove to lie
wrong.
Resolved, That it does not become
members of IL great order to cast ridi-
culc upon or otherwise to bring into
rcprOach any portion of the said plat
form, knowing full well that subse-
quent conventions will remedy errors,
if any there be.
Resolved, That while we are willing
to accord our Senators in Congress
the highest praise for their devotion
to the welfare of the State, we do
most earnestly declare that this Ali
ancc will never defy or worship any
man that it is contrary to pure De-
mocracy, contrary to the principles of
the Alliance, which are purified de-
mOcracy, to eXalt men above meas
ures, and that great majority of the
Alliance membership are Democrats.
Resolved, That we declare our
devotion to principles above mere
man worship, and that hereafter we
will stand by those who keep step to
the music of the toiling farmers.
Resolved, That we advise our
brothers of the Alliance to not sup
port any candidate for nomination for
a legislative office who does not
pledge himself to support the Ocala
platform in full and that we earnestly
request all of the sub-Alliances of
Lincoln county to take like action.
Resolved, That Mt. Moriah ALI
ance endorses Hon. +. Barksdale for
United States Senator.
Unanimously adopted at regular
meeting held May 23rd, 1891, with re-
quest that the county papers be fur
nished a copy of these resolutions
for publication.

A negro Alliance man from South
Carolina was the only colored delegate
who attended the new party cOnven-
ton at Cincinnati. He felt so lonely
that he said he would return home il
the brethren would pass round the
hat and collect enough money to pay
his railroad fare. \ collection was
taken up and the colOred brother de-
parted in peace.

SAM'L DUNN, Sec'y.

Whereas, We believe that the op-
position to what is known as the Sub
Treasury scheme, is nothing more nor
less than determined effort, OH the
part of the old political bosses, back
ed by the enemies of the Alliance, to
divide and bring confusion into our
ranks and,
Whereas, Believing that victory
can only be achieved where there is II
united effort of the alliances now
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
Montgomery Alliance No. 55S, of Lin
coin county, Miss, do heartily endorse
and will uphold and defend every
principle contained in the Ocala plat
form until the Supreme Council of our
order shall determine in their wisdom
to annul whatever may prove to be
wrong.
Resolved, That we will not support
any man for legislative Office that is
not in favor of the Ocala platform in
full.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished the BROOK
HAVEN LEADER for publication.

Punctual and Faithful to Duty.

The late talented John H. Martin
writing to his paper, the New Missis-
sippian, during the latter part of Maj
Barksdale's service in the House OF
Representatives, said:
The member from Mississippi who
is most punctual and faithful to his
duty, is Maj. Barksdale, of our dis
trict. The unremitting zeal with
which he has labOred to get the ras-
Gals out, and get Democrats from Mis-
sissippi put in position, entities hin,
to bOundless praise.
l doubt if there be in all Congress
any one who is quite as prompt and
diligent in the discharge of all his du-
ties and the requests made upon hin
by his constituents as Ethel Banks
dale.

Hon. John NJ. Allen.

Hon. John NJ. Allen, Congressman
from the first Mississippi district. will
speak at the court house in Brookha-
ven next Saturday at II o'clock in OPP
position to the Sub-Treasury bill.
"Private John" has won a national
reputation in Congress as a humorist
"a funny mainland is an Entertaining
speaker, but having virtually pro-
nOunced against the Alliance as an
organization, as he did in his own
county convention last week at Tupe-
10, he need not be surprised if his
speech here against their platform
does not have that influence with AL
liance..DemOcrats he and his sympa-
thizers desire. They will listen to
him respectfully, but not enthusiast
cally.

The Greenville Democrat has a
manly way of expressing itself and
doesn't wear any mans political col
lar.
Rev. George Inge, who so success
fully conducted revival at Halle
hurst, will soon begin a meeting at
Wesson.
1t is a stand-up hand to hand fight
between the machine politicians and
privileged classes and the people, but
the masses will win.
And so, when the Democratic State
Convention meets, the program of the
party bosses is to throw the case of
the farmers out of Court.

Senator Bill Chandler says there is
no money to back up the new party

Sub-Treasury, Maj. b. has published
the following correction:
81 have noticed that correspond
ent of your paper of May II, i'll tele-
graphing statement of my platform
as il candidate for the United States
Senate draws the erroneous inference
that | have changed my position in re-
gard to tho Treasury bill. The
reverse is true. stand squarely up
on the Ocala platform, which embraces
the Sub-Treasury plan with other
measures therein mentioned and my
language could admit of no other con-
structiOn.n
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-05-28

"Tell the TRUTH" were the words
that made Cleveland President when
his moral character was assailed. In
the present Mississippi campaign, the
newspapers, correspondents and pol
iticians should learn that the people
are not all fools and that to "tell the
truth" will be the best policy to pur-
sue.-GreenuiH Democrat
