THE GOLD LEAF would suggest, in
the hope that the matter will be taken
hold of at once, that our Alliance
friends take steps to secure fine and
and creditable exhibit for the EXPOSE

matter and take hold of it and add
something to collection. Let the
various Alliances, individually and
collectively, help to show what the
farmers are doing.

We ARE frank to admit that the
very fattering testimonial Of the
Printers Al6nm, Of Chicago, Illinois,
when it makes the GOLD LEAF the
special subject of lengthy editorial,
copying from various issues of the
paper, and commenting favorably
thereupon, is as pleasing as it is COM
pllmentary in its nature. The Prin-
fets' 4Ibnm is one of the standard
trade journals of its kind in the United
States, fact which makes its utter
ances the more worthy and weighty,
and all the more to be appreciated by
those coming under its notice.

The election of Prof. Geo. +.
Winston, LII. D., as president of the

THE ALLIANCE AND THE THIRD
PARTY.

Those who have been inclined to
think that the Third party movement
did not amount to anything, or tha:
the Farmers Alliance in the South
would not go into it, are, according
to our way Of looking at the thing,
greatly mistaken. AT any rate if the
Southern Alliance is not forced into
it the fault will not be with certain of
the leaders. Here is candid admission
on that point and it comes from "high
authority" In a recent intervie W
with Senator-elect PETER, of Kansas,
who has been in Washington city for
a few days, Mr.. Josephus Daniels, of
the Raleigh State Chronicle, quotes
him as saying:
81 asked the Senator if the Peoples
Party would put ticket in the field
next year."
"Unquestionably the Peoples Party
will nominate a candidated for Presi-
dent and Vice President" he replied.
"Is there any chance for them to
win?," l asked.
His reply was: "That will depend
upon how fast we organize. If We
gather our forces rs fast all over the
country as we did in Kansas, we can
easily elect president and Congress
in 1892"
"Suppose, as result of your party,
enough Southern farmers join it to
turn over the Southern States to the
negro party, will not that be a
calamity?"'
| "It does not matter" ~hesaid sin
the sense of this movement we can
not consider such a question. We
recognize neither as the negroparty."
sBut, insisted, if there is a divis-
sion among Southern white men, it
would give the Republican party con-
troll; is it not better tor Alliance men
in the South to stay in the Democratic
party, and avert so great calamity"
His reply was, owe do not care
anything about that. We want to
destroy both old parties unless they
help us. 1t is not part of our pro-
! gramme to tamper with either. We
cannot concern our selves with such
matters"
