The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1891-07-16

yesterday at Midway. Col. Robert
Aldrich spoke there and, on good au-
thority it is stated that he adopted"
the sub-treasury without reservation.
He came out strongly IN favor Of it
and was in turn. as was expected,
heartily endorsed by Col. Talbert. Col.
Talbert. when his turn came to speak,
said that lie was delighted to note Col.
Aldrich's change Of sentiment and that
if he, Col. Talbert, were not Baptist
he would be in favor Of raising an old
time Methodist shout. Col. Taibert also
said that if Col. Aldrich would, like
Col. Tom Watson over in Georgia, sell
his law library he would be tempted to
admit him into the Order. There was
evidently another one OF them pro-
tracted love feastsn over in Midway.
Col. Talbert desires to say that the
report of the meeting at Edgeheld as it
was published in The News and Courier
was correct. He 1hinks-it due that this
should be said in view Of the incorrect
accounts Of the meeting which were
published in the Augusta Chronicle and
elsewhere. He said that the report in
The News and Courier showed that
none of the resolutions offered was
pissed, and that ifthere was any vic
tory it was "a victory of peace" which
was the inference made by The News
and Courier report. He holds, with his
friends in Edgetield, that there was no
need Of the endorsement Of the Ocala
platform in that county for the reasons
given on Saturday.
PATCHING Up A PEACE.
The interview with President Stokes
which was published to-day in The
Sunday News, will be read with great
interest by the Farmers Movement
and Alliance men in this State. He, of
course, did not say, anything about
"his' government, as it appears by an
error of the types. The clause should
have been "Alliance luan desiring
self government and his own govern
ment," not DR.. Stokes government.
Col. Talbert, who read it to-day, said
that he endorsed every word of it. He
said in addition that he could only
repeat what he said at Edgefield, that
when the time came he would be ready
to Kill the fatted calf and put the gold
ring on Governor Tillman's finger.
There is some ak, which possibly
has good foundation, that the Spartan
burg meeting will not take any action
on the sub-treasury, at least that it
will not make any invidious decision
between Governor Tillman and Terrell,
tha. the speakers will speak for the
enlightenment OF the meetin". and that
as in many of the counties the endorse
ment of the platform Of Ocala will add
nothing to what Alliance men believe
to be the majority Alliance sentiment
in the State. There may be something
in this from the latest Celiverance Of
the more prominent public speakers
that there shall be and must be peace
among the leaders of the old move
ment.
1.-THE ALLIANCE IS TIRED OF DEMO-
CRATIC ABUSE AND INTOLERANCE"
Augusta Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July l3.-Col.
Polk, president Of the National Alli-
ance, is in Washington, preparing for
the Georgia campaign, to open at
Americus next week. In an interview
to-day, he vehemently denied the story
that Kansas Alliancemen, who had
formally affiliated with the Republican
party, were making preparations TO re-
new their allegiance to that party. He
characterized the story as lie out of
the whole 10th to bolster up the
decaying fortunes of the Western Re-
publicans, and to diShearten Southern
Alliancemen who happen to be Demo. E.
Gratis. He denied that Macune had
traded off to the protectionists, and
stated, without hesitation, that the
intenti N o: Western Al,iancemen was
to put third party ticket in the field
in 1872, and that they would carry Kan
sas, Nebraska, the two Dakotas, and
other states.
WILLTHE DOSE BE TAKEN?
When pressed as to the program ir
the South, he said ne would give it
straight that the Alliance had stood
enough of the intolerance and abuse of
the Democratic leaders in that section,
and, unless there was an early let-up,
the third party medicine would be
offered to them. He claimed that the
Alliance in krnsas is stronger by l5,-
900 than before the Ocala convention,
and in other Western States the increase
was equally as mark d. There appears
to be no question about the intention
Of the 4 Aiiance chief to feel the farm
ing pulse in the Southern States as to
the advisability of third parry move
ment
CO.. Polk did not say this, but the
of their leaders in that
section just at this time seems to war-
rant such belief.
HOT SHOT FOR MACUNE.
