The Globe be-Democrat don't like
the alliance. the democrats or the
Peoples party, and editorially has
this to say Of the three:
ITO the majority of the democrat
ic leaders and politicians in the ALI
ance and it's alias, the Peoples par
ty is simply al annex to the democ-
racy IL rasquerading under different
name and advocating measures not
yet presented formally by that or
ganization, but engaged more or less
effectively in doing democratic work.
This opinion is not openly proclaim
ed by the democrats either north or
south, but no intelligent person
doubts that it is held, aud that it is
growing among those of the party
who take an intelligent survey of the
political situation.
The idea that the Alliance can in
any way imperil democratic chances
in any state does not, at any rate,
appeal strongly to the judgment of
the average person of intelligence in
either of the great parties. No dis
tinctive principle or purpose of the
democratic party is antagonized by
the Alliance. Nearly every measure
advocated by the Alliance which has
come up in politics il the past is fa-
vored by the democracy. Both ar 9
for free trade. free silver and against
the national banking system. These
are the leading issues before the
country, and on each of them the re-
publicans take the opposite ground.
1t is the republican party, and not
the democracy, which is menaced by
the Alliance. The latter, as a vigor-
Gus, aggressive organization exists
in republican states only. In no
other localities does it make any
special pretensions to activity or po-
tency. In 10 other communities
will it make any earnest or vigorous
canvass this year. While the chances
that the third party will have any
important influence in politics next
year are rapidly waning, there is no
room for doubt that it is as much
the ally of the democratic party now
as the copperheads of the north wers
the friends of the confederates dur
ing the days of the civil war

WORK OF THE CLUBS.
Chairman Brice Warmly IndOrs
es the democratic Society.
The Campaign Of 1892 Already Well
IN Hand-Letter to National
Committeeman.

At no time within a quarter of CEN
tury has there been more than a
year ahead of a presidential cam
paign more actively displayed in the
political parties than at the present
time. 1t is evident that the mana
gers OF both the old parties feel that
the contest next year will be one of
life or death. The organizers are
at work, actively at work, and the
belief is that by the 1st of January
next nearly all the voters in the Unit
ed States will be polled, and each
party will be able to make an esti-
mate Of its active strength in the
ensuing battle. The clubs are going
to cut very important figure during
the next campaign. This feature of
political life was introduced during
the last presidential campaign, but.
being new,it was not brought to per-
fection and did not exert the influence
that it is expected the clubs will ex-
ert in the next campaign. 1t is true
that President Foster Of tho republi-
can club issued a "fat-frying" letter
attracting good deal of attention,
but, nevertheless. the clubs of both
parties are now we'll organized or
are in the process of being organic
ed and the national committees of
both parties have recognized them
officially rs influential adjuncts Of
the campaign.
For some time the democratic ma
tlonal committee hesitated to give
official recognition to the clubs, but
at last it has come. Today the
chairman of national committee sent
out from his headquarters in Now
York the following letter to all the
members OF the national committee
in all the states and territories:

tion of the de,nocatic party in tho
Union.
1t is to their bold assertion of pop
ular rights, their stubborn defence of
sound republican principles, that We
owe the first overthrow Of the fed,
eralst party, the election of Mr.. Jef
ferson and the blessed sra of demo-
cratic rule, almost unbroksn from
1900 to 1860.
The truly democratic club has
ever been the engine Of liberty ell
dangered. The tendency at this
time of the people of the United
States to enroll themselves together
in neighborhood organizations of
this character is one of the signs of
the political psrils which confront
them. 1t is manifest that the ap
preaching struggle is to be one
mainly of clubs, and it is according
ly greatly to be desired that a uni
form and perfected system of demo
cratic societies, thoroughly organized
and in intimate association with each
other, shall be established before the
beginning of the next year.

tional association of democratic
clubs, and in conjunction with other
members of your executive commit

the most hearty support and to re.
quest each member of the national
democratic committee to cooperate
to the fullest extent.
The work undertaken by the e1.

solutely necessary to be done and
the opportunity is now presented OF
having it accomplished by an eff

tempted to board the SIS train for
New York at Mama-oneck to-day.
He -.lcceeded in reaching the plat

which he had seized with each hand.
The train had already acquired a
quick motion, and Mr.. Roosevelt
was thrown violently against one of
the abutmsnts of the iron bridge,
with his right leg under the wheels.
Two cars passed over him.and when
he was picked up it WAS found that
the leg midway between the ankle
and knee, was held together only
by the skin. Blood was issuing
from scalp wound where bis head
had struck the bridge, and he was
also suffering from internal injuries.
DR.. Hunter cut off the foot with his

see that the spirit and letter of the
new law is observed and enforced in
every respect. Respectfully,
