!, You cannot honorably belong to two
1t parties. And all those who will not

D. no more right In Democratic conven-

c men who endorse the Republican party
ic and its platform"
N After an Alliance meeting in Edge
~ ~ combe county last Saturday there was
~ a meeting of advocates Of the Third

O. adopted as follows: "That it is the
nc sense of this mass-meeting that Peo.
&c pies party county convention be held
~ in Tarboro May 81, and that al
to xnships which have not held theil
bv conventions will when they hold th'
.ts same send delegates to the convention
IL TO nominate a full county ticket, an'
st. send delegates to State convention 0
.I ae the said party; and to transact an,
" other business that comes before tn
convention.
les The Lincoln Courier says: az
IN motion was carried al the meeting O
III n the county Alliance at Lincointon tha
its members do not 20 into the conven
he ton. This vote by the delegates at
county meeting is not binding on th
I'd Alliance as whole and every membe
Ihe has right to do as he pleases, and W
';e. @ have heard several say they were goin
ian to act just as they please. it does nc
ees mean, either, that those who voted 70
AXE that motion are going into the Thir
Big party; but We fear il means somethin
itic very much akin to that. We fear
aoi o means that candidates must pledg
rol- themselves to the ST. Louis platform
sts, order to get their votes"
