NOltS.
Last autumn, as you are aware, Roa-
,ceiI p. Eower defeated J. Sloat Fassett,
"Platt's man Friday" by nearly $4,000.
As Platt is the republican boss to whom
Harrison has pledged the Treasury De-
partment, as condition precedent to
his, .Didcqtion, and as Platt took away
from New York city the Worlds fair,
whereby, as Chauncey NJ. Depew said,
in his speech at Washington, three hun
dred million dollars had been taken
away from the State of New York, it is
not possible the same Boss" can win
the State in November To obliter-
ate State lines and lead up to a die
tatorship or an empire is evidently
the purpose of the plutocracy dominat-
ing the republican party. Under this
state Of things the man who is ready to
sell his neighbors into worse than At
rican slavery, is an enemy to his race.
If the Presidency is to be bought with
millions the liberty of the subject will
soon terminate.
Tdcitus tells us how during the de-
cline of the Roman empire the legions
elected the emperor-choosing the as
pirant giving the largest donations to
the soldiers. But, soon the lcgions be-
came hungry for more money. so they
killed the man they had chosen to
elect the next richest aspirant ready to
bestow larger donations. We have al
ready seen how President was killed
because he refused TO obey the orders
( of two stalwart Senators. Should such
spirits again prevail?
You remember that there were civil
wars in Rome and that the most dis
tinguished of the Roman emperors
/ issued a decree commanding all people
10 refrain from mentioning those wars.
Noc, we have the ''stalwarts" writing
that the South is still all rebel. "
They preach the doctrine of hate" to
all the word.
The country can have peace and
prosperity if Cleveland is elected, and
the farmers alliance can then close up
their business in the western States
How a son of the soil, a genuine farmer
can ever be made to vote the republl-
can high tariff ticket, surpasses my
comprehension. Very truly yours,
JOHN LIVINGSTON,
Pres. \. y. State Farmers Alliance.

New York Republican Leaders Ar
raiGned.
\. y. STATE FARMERS ALLIANCE,
PRESIDENTS OFFICE.
NEW YORK. Oct. %, 1872.

To the Editor of the Alerandria Gazette:
Your criticism of the Farmers AL
lance, as it eriSts an Virginia, is com
mendable if it takes any part against
the democracy which is struggling to
save the South and West from their spo-
liation. Any man who contributes TO
the success of the thieves now managing
the national republican committee, de-
serves to have the bayonet pointed at
his heart by the officials Of the Force
bill which is sure TO come in the event
of the reelection of Harrison.
The Farmers Alliance has been q
necessity at the West, where it will
contribute to the election of Clcve-
land.
But the republican robbers have
nearly two and one halfmillions in their
safes to buysshe State Of Nelc York. Dave
Martin, Senator Quay and c. w. Hack
EFT. engineered by the notorious IhoS.
C. Plat, whose conduct, words and ac-
tions. when he resigned from the I. 5.
Senate with Roscoe Conkling, because
Garfield would not remove Collector
Robertson, precipitated the assassina-
ton of that unfortunate President,
have all their plans for bribing the
voters.
The cohesive power of common plum
der has unified the "Staiwarts" and
''halfJreedS,' who, since 1881, have
slaughtered each other so severely rs to
enable that greatest of all living politi-
clans, the Hon Docid Bennett Hill, TO
redeem, for the democrats, the Empire
State in all its departments, executive,
legislative and judicial.
Tom Platt had ample reason for
burving Vaner Miller outside of the
breast works, not only because Miller
secured his seat in the L. s. Senate, but
because ne and his friends, Charles w.
Hackett and the late James w. Hustled,
put up nasty job on him by which
human frailty was detected and ex-
posed.
Mr.. Platt has paid out large sums
yearly to keep control of the republi-
can State committee, and has never
permitted Miller to again hold office.
He ran, in January, 1887, for l. S. Sen
ator, but Platt put up Lcri 2. Morton,
against him. Morton and Ptdt paid
me S06S.oO Tor LOBBY services III tnat
contest wherein / acted for Morton
Uancr Miller and Norton each got for
ty-seven votes in the assembly, and,
after 10 ballots. neither could secure
the other vote requisite to elect. So,
as Hon. Frank Hiscock had eieccn
votes, and as the sole desire of Platt
was to defeat Miller, l was ordered to
turn Morton's A. votes over to HiSc0ck
and those elected him.
Then, Warner Miller ran on the
ticket with Harrison and Morton for
Governor of New York; but Tom"
Platt traded Miller's vote for Harrison,
and then. while Harrison and Morton
were elected. Dacid g. Hill defeated
Warner Miller by severaln thousand
votes

The printing of the names of pieces or the verses of songs in other tongues is absurd. Why not translate them and do away with preteense that aaY but ap ex- tremely small fraesion of any American audience understand the programs as now printeds It Is shutting off the mass. es from q true conception of music,not to wake up to 4 common sense view of the case. We read with real pleasure the significant little note on the Musurgia club program apologizing for the English renderings of the foreign songs which were printed. No apology was needed, for this was emphatically step In the right direction. Poor English transla- lions are always better than hanging on to the originals and thereby announcing to fhree-fourths of the auditors that they don't know the language in question and can't do more tflan guess at the meaning and significance of what they are paying to get good fron.-Courant,

VOLUME XV.
Rich and Poor Alike.

The world holds itself independent 0! Us all. Great men come and, while they live, we think them of measureless i'm portance, but, when they go, others fil their places and do their work. Not ev. en the most gifted is indispensable tC progress. Giants are never wanting tC bear the burdens of the hour.
 Moreover, there is no exemption from pain by right of birth or genius or wealth. The throne and the peasant s hut are overshadowed by the same cloud. There is no difference between royal tears and those which the lowly shed. Pomp does not mitigate sorrow. Death has only one weapon and, with contemptu- ous disdain, he refuses to grant privi- lege to the rich which he will not con cede to the poor.
 We are all alike when we enter into life. Our surroundings may draw us apart for 70 years, but we are all alike again when we die. We brought noth- ing into this world, not even character and we can carry nothing out except character.-[ New York Herald.
