NEwBURG. y. Y, Aug. 1s.-The presi-
dents train arrived here at 3 o'clock and
stopped for ten minutes. There were 1000
people at the station, who cheered. The
president appeared on the rear plat
form. He held soft felt hat in
his left hand and grasped the rail
with the other. He said: My dear
friends-You can well imagine what 4
pleasure it is to run out of the rain and
mist that have lowered about our train for
an hour or two into the sunshine and glad
ness of this welcome which you have
extended You are situated here in
region full of history and interest.
Every child must hear the story of the
sacrifice and courage of those who laid the
foun, dation of the government, which has
grown so much beyond the conceptions of
even the wisest OF our fathers. | am
sure that under these influences
you must all find inspiration
for good citizenship, and it is pleasant to
know that what you rejoice in has left its
impress upon the heart of our people. Far
away on the Sacramento, "a well as upon
the beautiful Hudson, men love the flag Of
Washington. Applause. ! am glad TO
be with you for moment to-day.
We have great common interest as peo-
pie, and while we divide on methods by
which we form national prosperity, 1 am
sure we are all devoted in heart TO the
country that has obtained so much for US
the center for which brave men have died,
and for which brave men will vet die
If occasion should call for that sacrifice. In
the interest of good government we are di-
vided sometimes in the method by which it
IS obtained. We are conSecrated in one pur-
pose that this government shall be so ad-
ministered that all the people shall
share in its benefits, and that no favored
class shall usurp its benefits, being for
everybody equally, spreading sunshine in
all homes and upon ali law-abiding people.
AGAIN express my pleasure at meeting
you. | say farewell"
y railroad man jumped on the bumper of
the car while the train was going at a con-
siderable speed, attracted the presidents
attention by touching him on the arm, and
then held out his hand. Mr. Harrison
shook it heartily, and then went inside.

business manager of the Farmers World,
is perhaps one of the best informed Ali
ance opponents of the sub-treasury. He
says: Il don't know that they will at
tempt 10 gag the Alliance with it, but if
they do they viii be surprised at the num-
bers of farmers that will turn out against
Us. On religious and political freedom the
constitution of the Alliance is as broad as
the constitution of the United States. 1t
guarantees to each member perfect free
dom in political thought and action, and be-
fore the advocates OF the sub-treasury can
commit the Alliance to their way Of think
ing they will nave to change the constitu-
ton. Without that change they cannot
make the sub-treasury or any other politi-
cal idea q test CT membership, regardless of
the number of proclamations the president
of the state Alliance may issue. If they
attempt to make this change we will
meet them. Should they succeed, theirs
will he a new political organization and we
viii hold to the original constitution, and
proceed to conduct business, as in the past
on a non-political basis, and the crowd of
politicians will be surprised at the ava
Iauche of farmers in the state who are OPP
posed TO converting their favorite organize
ton into political machine, and who will
be arrayed against them. The Alliance
was not organized for political pro stitution,
and no leaders, however shrewd, can COM
nit il TO such"

other debts unpaid, together with some dis
sensions in our ranks which eliminated in
the issuing of what is known as the Austin
manifesto. the establishment of an anti
Alliance paper and the converting of a con-
vention in opposition TO the demands of the
order tthe effects of which | am proud to
state passed like q miasmatic fog before the
rising SUM, and the power and influence of
monopoly confronting US on every side; but
with persistent effort upon our part. and
the unselfish, self-sacrifcing and ernest
cooperation of a few faithful lecturers, to-
Cether with a patriotic devotion of the
II 6ershlp that stands without pre-
Ccdent we have triumphed and now turn
back 10 YOU the Farmers State Alliance
in healthy and progressive condition,
as will be shown by the various re-
ports. Brethren, with the present out
look we have every reason to be
encouraged. The increase of membership
the frmnesS of our people, the noble cause
in which we are enlisted, all foretel a vic
tory whose matin hours are hailed with de-
light by an enslaved people We would ex-
hort YOU TO deal gently with the erring,
exercise charity toward offenders, construe
words and deeds in their most favorable
light: but remember il is our solemn duty
to defend the principles OF our order until
death. Remember in things essential We
must have unity, also that it is better TO
prune than to destroy, and that eternal Wig
lance is the price of liberty. Respect
fully submitted, EVAN JoNEs,

GeorroT. MURRAY of sprinrtovn.

one of the Alliance anti-sub-treasury lead
erS, was interviewed to-day regarding the
Rayner Alliance case. The question was
asked, Was the suspension OF Rayner
Alliance done conStitutionally?
Yes replied Mr.. Murray, according TO
the constitution of prejudice" Then he
continued: 1.-The state Alliance authorities
have no right TO suspend 4 lodge except for
two causes, and they are:
Il. For retaining ineligible members.
Art. ), Sec 3.
80. For failure to pay dues for twelve
months. Art. 3, Sec. 9.
Each county and Farmers Alliance shall
be allowed to frame its own constitution
and bylaws, provided they shall not con-
hict with the constitution and bylaws of
the state Alliance Article 8. section 23''
Mr.. Murray was then asked if the county,
Alliance in which Rayner was situated did
not suspend Rarner lodge.
Mo- he replied, that county has but
three lodges in il, and there can be no legal
county Alliance with less than five lodges"
Mr.. Murray was asked if the peoples
party that was organized here yesterday
would get many followers from the sub
treasury wing OF the Alliance.
He replied: NO, there were only thirty
-four delegates or persons in the orrani-
zation of that party. lis true that most
al of them were members of the Alliance,
yet the rank and file of the sub-treasury
followers will not vote with the Democratic
party. They will not measure their Democ-
racy by the sub-treasury scheme. bat
they viii measure the sub-treasury scheme
by testing it's Democracy. y great major
ity of the farmers oppose the measure
now
How is that"
"Well if we were to suppose every male
member of the Farmers Alliance favored
the sub-treasury scheme, we have not one
member in Texas more than 10000, while
the Grange is solidly opposed to the sub
treasury plan and l was told yesterday by
the best authority in the Grange that they
had 4 working force of 100000
How do you get your authority as to
the strength of the Farmers Alliance?n
I've seen the records with my own eyes.
Navarro county has the strongest Farm
ers' Alliance membership of any county in
Texas, and it has but 4 fraction over 900 -
Il thought Tarrant county had 1000 men,
bers reported last month";
"Tarrant comfy has about AS members
only"
do you anti-sub-treasury fellows expect
to be read out of the Alliancel'
''W-e-l-l, we won't feel embarrassed in the
least
He smiled and turned away

the secretary who has so efficiently served
the Alliance in that capacity, was found to-
DAY up TO his ears in work, but took the
time TO tell Il GAZETTE reporter that the AL
lance was not political body, nor was
there scarcely an officer of the organization
who would make it so. There are members
who are trying TO work the Alliance for po-
litical ends, but they are vastly in the mi
nOrity. For twelve years l have been a
public worker in the Alliance cause, part of
the time as the national lecturer, and never
yet have I been misquoted by the press. l
have always been careful of what have ut
tered in public, SO that reporters and audi
ence alike could not fail TO understand my
meaning, and from that reason 1 have al
ways been correctly quoted in the press.

have decided effect undermining special
issues in Virginia this fall, assem-
bled at noon to day in the Old
state house building here. The
body is composed of about ninety-eight
delegates representing each of the 100 coun-
ties in the state with the exception Of
two. 1t is composed of Virgin
las most intelligent farmers, and with
few exceptions men who dig livelihood
out of the soil of this state. Despite the
fact that the leaders claim politics are not
in it, but little is heard about the
corridors Of the hotels but ques-
lions and issues with which political
matters are closely allied. The general
sentiment of the members of the conven-
ton is for an unlimited coinage of silver
and in favor of the sub-treasuries plan, not
particularly measure, but one which will
afford agriculturalists the relief that sort of
scheme promises.
