There is good news from the ALI
ance brethren of Kinds. They are
standing up manfully for the Alliance
demands.
A Monticello correspondent writes
us that the Alliance in Lawrence is on
Il boom, standing squarely on the
Ocala platform.
The whisky combine of the nation
will lock shields with Wall street to
down the Alliance and the reform
forces in the impending struggle.
Under the new Constitution, the
registration in Lowndes is cut down
from 5000 to 1900. The negroes
seem to have lost all interest in poll
ties, as only A registered in the coun-
ty.
The LEADERS, subscription list is on
boom. The people are showing
their appreciation of straight-for
ward paper that gives the facts about
men and measures without fear or ia
vOr.
The key word is Education, the bat
tie cry is Forward, and if we stick,
shoulder to shoulder, as true Alliance
men to the Sub Treasury and all the
other demands our ultimatum will
be VICTORY.
The professional politicians and
party bosses were out in full force at
the State Convention yesterday,
whilst Alliance men and practical
farmers were notably conspicuous for
their absence.
Judge Hill says he will resign the
L. S. circuit judgeship in this State

1t is thought he will be succeeded by
Que of the present L. S. district attOr
neys-A. NJ. Lee or Henry S. Niles.
If Alliance men expect to accom-
plish the reforms they seek, they must
support men for Office pledged to
those reforms. "Men do not gather
grapes from thorns nor figs from this
Ties" and this is as true in politics as
in the vegetable kingdom.
Every body is anxious to know who
DIR. Watts "friendn is that went with
him on that 5000 bond for the Smith
letters, and didn't want them publish
ed because he expected to become
candidate. He will be smoked out be-
fore the campaign closes.
Hon. I. j. Millsaps said at the dis
trict Alliance meeting last week that
lie ulun hDON Vi a. Hall uUZcI AL
lance men in COpiah county who
were not for the Sub Treasury. We
look for triumphant confirmation of
this report by our Copiah brethren
on August Sth.
Shall the farmer keep out of poll
ties ? No; the trouble is, he has
been out altogether too much, and
that's what's the matter. He should
carefully study politics, and study
the acts of men who are connected
with public affairs, and then he will
be able to take care of his interests.
II. Kernaghan, late Republican can
didate for Congress in this district,
has been appointed Register of the
u. S. land Office at jackson, vice r.
c. Kerr, deceased. He is well quail
fed for the place and will no doubt
discharge the duties of the Office as
satisfactorily as any Republican in
the State.
