HIGHLY

The National Watchmdn, comment
ing on the letter of resignation of
organship by Col. Polk, has the follow
ing to say:
In the above is found an example of
courage and fidelity to principle sell
dom met with in these degenerate days
of political shysters. Here is a willing,
personal sacrifice Of no NEAR proper
ton for the privilege of a clear con
science and an hone st endeavor. This
letter has the ring of the true metal,
and its import stamps Colonel Polk as
a refOrmer in the n0blest sense of the
word. Such action, and the results
which wait upon it are of the utmost
Importance to the Peoples party.
It means another Richmond in the
field, armed and equipped to do valiant
service for the cause of dOWn-trOdden
humanity. 1t means another giant
striding into the arena ready to cham
pi0n the peoples rights. When men
like Colonel Polk Will resign the i'm
portant position of State organ, one
that he has so gallantly and hOnorably
won at the expense of the best years Of
his life, that he may fight in the ranks
with the people he loves, surely the
cause Of reform is prospecting and the
day of final d~eliverance is drawing
nigh. Colonel Polk has been an out
spoken advocate Of the Peoples party
since it's inception, but on account of
the official position of his paper has
felt hampered in that direction. The
pressure of his honest convictions be-
came so great, and his desire to serve
the best interests of the people so in
tense, that he could bear it no longer,
and hence this manly letter. Colonel
Polk is known throughout the entire
country as one of the most able an /
trusted leaders of the Alliance, a true
! gentleman, and a magnificent speaker
and writer. He has long entertained
the idea that the logical outcome of
the Alliance propaganda would be
found only in independent political
action. In that he is abreast of the
best thought in the nation, and in this
communication both his ability to de-
eide and his fearlessness to perform
The great heart of the people will
warm toward him stronger than ever
before, n every lover of his race will
be hlled with renewed courage.

HOW THEY DID IN CLEVELAND

Mr.. EDITOR:-The time has come
when something ought to be done for
the oppressed people of our land.
The people of township No. 3 of
Cleveland county, N. O., met April
%, the time appointed by the Demo
cratic Executive committee for the pri-
mary election. There were about so
voters who would not promise to stand
by the nominees and were debarred
from voting, so they called a meeting
of their own at which 60 votes were
given for Sanderlin and 6 delegates Sc
lected to the county convention.
At that convention the Alliance mem
bers, being the very best men of the
county, and decidedly in the majority,
were hardly allowed to be heard. The
chairman Of the executive committee
of the county appointed the committee
on credentials and put on a majority
of his own straightOut (so-called) fac
ton of Democracy, the Alliancemen
being of the J~effersOnian Democracy.
That packed committee threw out the
votes of four townships to give the
straightOu s the majority. One of the
lmmittees in making the report said
they did not know but gangs of Repub
lican negroes might have held those
township meetings. While the Gre
dentials committee we're out making
up their report several speeches were
made, among them one by Maj.
Schenck, who said the Alliancemen
ought to be mute, they we're not smart
enough. This same nan a few years
ago solicited our votes to be elected to
the legislature, and told us that we as
honorable citizens ought to be up and
doing and standing up for our rights.
And so we will. Don't the brethren
all over this land think it is time we
were standing up for our rights2 We
may not know much about parliament
tary law, as the editor of the Shelby
Aurora thinks, but we know right
from wrong and we will be heard at
the ballot-bOX nex5 November. BreGh-
rem, if we do our duty the victory will
be Ours. Let us read, study and edu-
cate ourselves, and let us not forget to
pray and ask God to help us IN our
oppressed condition. He has prom
ised in His Holy Word that the cry
of the laborer shall be heard" So He
certainly will help us. Let us not
claim anything but equal rights to all
and special privileges to M Listen
to no emissaries and servants of mo-
nopolists, trusts and combines. Rally
to the polls next November, vote for
no man who does not stand square on
our principles and demands; trust in
God as our helper, and I feel sure the
victory will be ours. J. 2. RIPPY.
