Seeing the bitter war made on the
Alliance i'll Mississippi in the name of
pure Democracy, by the George or
gains and orators, the Alliance men of
the West did not rush to the help of
the Democratic party in that section.
and as one of the results, Campbell
was defeated by Mckinley in Ohio,
when he might otherwise have scored
a great victory for himself and party
and started a tidal wave of Democra-
cy that would not have ceased to roll
until it reached the White House.

DEAR SIE-NuuT letter of the 9th
ult., iuclosing press dispatch from
Canton, under date of Oct. 9th,
charging croOkCdnrSS in the manage
mcnt of the State Alliance Exchange,
has been received. You ask what
does it mean! | take it that the press
report was altogether sensational and
no doubt is Irresponsible.
DR.. Passmorc, who is represented
to have been present, and upon whose
alleged statement the report was in
part based, WdS not present at the
night meeting of its proceedings. |
am in receipt of letter from DR..
Passmorc, from which | take the lib
crty of extracting the following sem
fences, to-wit:
81 see from the press reports tele-
gram from Canton, stating that ut Il
meeting of the stockholders of the
Bagging Factory, during night scs-
sion. am made to say certain things
about crOokcdncss in the State EX-
change, and to make certain illusions
pointing presumably to YOU. | write
to say that was not at that meeting
at all, aud heard nothing of the pro
Cccdings.'
| This settles the matter SO far as DR..
! PaSsmorc is concerned and have no
doubt that the use of Mr.. Becman's
name was equally unauthorized.
The charges of "RottcncSS in the
Mississippi Alliance" and CROOKED
ness in the State Alliance Exchange,
as alleged are without foundation, in
asmuch as the business of the State
Exchange has been the subject of of
fetal investigation by several success
sivc State Alliances and no such crook
cdnesS discovered and no charges OF
that nature have been preferred.
Yours fraternally,
Is. G. WEST, State Agent.
Referring to the Canton dispatch
alluded to by Mr.. West, the Iazoo
Sentinel says:
The above dispatch is evidently
from the Reconnaissance stand
point. They were both members OF
the State Executive Committee of the
Alliance. and as such it would seem
ought to have put Il stop to "fagrant
mismanagcment." 1t is time for the
whole matter to be unearthcd and the
guilty parties exposed. 1t should be
done at once. We remember some
time ago seeing Il statement 70 the eff
feet that Mr.. Bceman had loaned the
Mississippian or its proprietors 5000
of Alliance money, and it seems to lis
there was something about Il loan to
the celebrated bagging factory. Let
the whole facts he given.

1t has almost passed into proverb,
that the Democrats may always be re-
lied upon by the Republicans to make
some blundcr, when their prospects
are brightest, that will turn into dire
full defeat the radiant victory almost
within their grasp. This year the
party press and leaders have played
the fool by abusing the Alliance and
making enemies Of thousands of vot-
ers all over the country who would
otherwise been valuable allies in the
Presidential campaign.

1t was matter Of surprise and
much more of regret to Judge Casse
dy's friends and supporters that he
was defeated in the tloatorial race.
His majority Of 1873 in Lincoln was
overcome by Ncwman's majority OF
23S in Franklin, giving Newman a
majority in the two counties of 80.
The fact that Judge Cassidy made no
canvass whatever, while his opponent
made very active one, together with
the fact that little interest was taken
in the election in Lincoln and only
about a third of her registered vote
polled, were no doubt the principal
factors that contributed to this result

WEATHER CROP BULLETIs.
What the signal OEic- says OF the Rainfall
and Temperature.

Notwithstanding the general dsmpness OF
the past week the signal Office. in its weekly
weather crop bulletin issued saturday an
nounces that the rainfall in Washington for the
week ending March 20, 1891. was a trihe over
half an inch below the normal. The tempera-
ture was also behind, 20 degrees below mean.
Calculating from January / the rainfall has
been 4.65 inches in excess and the tempera-
tire 22l degrees in excess. showing that thus
far the local winter has been unusually warm
and damp The past week was a notable ex-
c.ption- The weather as it affects the crops is
the cause of these remarks in the bulletin.
Cold weather has continued during the week
generally throughout the northern states over
which the ground l. generally frozen. and spring
work delayed In the northwest the ground IL
generally covered with snow. which IN dlsap-
pearing rapidly and which will furnish sufficient
moisture in the spring wheat region to assure

In New England the weather was unfavOrable

latter conditions extending over the fruit re-
gIons of the middle Atlantic states whore the low
temperature occurred in time 70 delay the bud
ding of fruit trees without injury
The week was cold ~ the south Atlantic states.
and too much rain has retarded farm work.
FROST injured early vegetables in southern Nir
CHINA the 10th. North Carolina reports win
ter wheat and oats in good condition. aud South
Carolina reports little work yet accomplished.
Generally throughout the cotton region the

ditions are all reported favorable; work IL pro-

ally favorable. well-,iistributed showers having
