PEOPLES PARTY STATE CONVENTION

BY request, the LEADER today pub
fishes a call drawn by Col. j. d. Lynch,

of the Peoples Party, to be held in the
city of Jackson, Wednesday, June %
When the Peoples party was organized
at Cincinnati last May. National Cen
trail Committee was appointed consist
ing of three members from each State
| The members of the committee for
Mississippi, of which Col Lynch is
chairman, are charged by the National
committee with organizing the party
in this State, hence Col. Lynch is act
ing by regular authority and in pursu-
ance of that object.
In view of this state of facts, though
the LEADER is not member of the
Peoples party, it would suggest that
the call issued by the Peoples party
executive committee of Leake county
for a State Convention of Peoples par
ty men at Kosciusko May 18th, should
be withdrawn and that meeting can
celed This would make the party &C
ton regular. and what is still more inn
portant, give more time for local or
ganization throughout the State and
the appointment of delegates to the
June convention.

Foreign Affairs to a subcommittee
consisting of Representative Rayner,
of Maryland; Hooker, of Mississippi

idential campaign.

answer how near the Democrats will

NO FARLEY AND NO COMPROMISES


The following is from recent issue
of the Natchez Democrat, paper with
which the Alliance and Third party,
the Ocala platform and the st. Louis
Conference platform, are synonymous
terms. How do. Alliancemen, and
especially the Alliance leaders who are
''temporizing," like the picture?
If the Third party movement is to
spring up again, it behooves the De-
mOcracy to prepare for vigorous cam
paign at once, to declare against any
temporizing policy. put forward the
ableSt and most courageous of its men
who will hold no parley and agree to
no compromise.
We sincerely trust that the Alliance
of Mississippi will remain true to its
original worthy purpose, and eliminat-
ing politics from its consideration as
an Order stand firmly by the old De-
mocracy which has been it's shield and
protection so long, and which is the
only sheet anchor of safety.

had time to understand, that the object

hope to accomplish their ambitious
schemes, they, too, are ready to fall IN

1t is diverting to see the sub-treasury
advocates, both aspirants for office
and the press, clinging to the Demo
cratic car with the hope that when the
goal is reached they may. have an op-
portunity to spring in and appear as
passengers.

A correspondent throws some dis
agreeable light on the way the liquor

fairs as this correspondent portrays
