RArxroH, N. G., juno 6.-Your CORE
spondent had an interview this morning
with Rev. Baylus Cade, editor OF the Pro
cyessiue Farmer, the organ of the State Al
lance. Assertions have been made tnat IN
an editorial in this week'spaper Cpubhshed
In the DrsplrcH) he had come out for the
third party. Various rumors gaining cur
rencv. some TO the effect that his utterances
were distasteful to the majority OF the
Alliance men. others that they. did not har-
monte with the views OF Colonei Ia IL.
Polk. who owns the paper, MIR. Cade was
asked to-day what was the meaning OF sne
editorial.
AN HYPOTHETICAL ARTICLE
He replied: $50,
that we are in favor OF third party. The
Alliance as an organization IS not perti-
san institution at all. As long as the
Democrats stand by their present PLATFORM
in this State there is no ground LOT inoe-
pendent action here: / have not seen a
single Alliance man who favors the Peoples
party. nor have heard an intimation that
any person thought the editorial was q
declaration for a third party. The edl-
torial put the whole case hypothetically.
OF course do not know what will come
to pass.
"J would like to see all that the Alliance
demands conceded and this question OF
new party eliminated from politics alto
eether. That is what l have been trying
TO advocate ever since my connection VIII
the PROGRESSIVE Farmer"
ONLY ON CONDITIONS.
Your correspondent then made the
pointed inquiry: IT.
"Do you favor the People'spartyf 10
which Editor Cade replied:
az do not favor the Peoples party save
as last resort. IL it shall turn out that
the people cannot secure the reforms in
tbe public administration which are known
to be necessary to the prosperity OF the
country within, the old parties then and
then only the people will act wisely to
turn away from them and form peoples
party"

a special meeting here to-day-Dr. r..
Brooke Haywood presiding Q. b. benson

improvement Of the condition of the ialls'

charitable institutions by a system OF un-
maid members of the board in each coun-
Involuntary members like the observers
of the weather, who report to the bureau.
1t is the belief of tho board that this sys-
