Dade City Fla. oct. 21.-The second days session
of the state Alliance opened at 10 O'Clock this morning
President Rogers, in his annual address, referred
sharply 10 the discussions in the order arising chiefly
from the admission membership of persons who are
not eligible, but who gain admittance for purpose OF
office or political influence. The SubITeasury scheme
WAS warmly Endorsed. The president closed his adj
dress rs follows 1t Is fact that the partisan press
has distorted the truth In reference to the Ocaa plat
form ana sub Treasury plan. In our State the Demo
cratic pres, is wont to read every man out OF the
marty who advocates the Ocaa platform ana sub
Treasury plan rle result Of such an onslaught upon
tbe Alliance has caused many OF our members to
advocate third party. This condition OF affairs Is
10 be deplored. My judgment IS that the Ocah plat
form contains not syllable which cannot readily be
Endorsed by every true Democrat throughout the
country ,,o.. 49,, ,b

etIon to seating him. The opposition IS based upon
TIE fact that ne Is a lawyer and not farmer. lie

The official report of the Controller for the
fiscal year ending December 81, 1900, shows that
the expenditures during that period were S34,9S5,-
6sOl7 This is what the Tammany government
cost the people of New-YorlS last year. What
has Tammany given 20 the taxpayers for this I'M
mense sum? Where can De found lilthier thor
oughfarcs? The streets which supposed to
he undergoing repairs are given over, in many
cases, TO contractors engaged in levying backmail
upon the property-holders. The condition and
methods adopted for the management of the docks
and wharves are driving the commerce which
naturally belongs to New-York to other points on
the seabOard Every department under the con-
troll Of Tammany Hall is conducted with prodigal
extravaganza and an utter disregard of the inter
eSts of the city and the taxpayers There is only
one moving principle, and that is TO billet upon

as far as possible in excess of proper compensa-
ton for their alleged services. If the city were
