SINGING 4 DIFFERENT TUNENOW.

We nav lIC Soit VI i$SFNNN ASi a
hvpocrite, a dissembler, a double
dealer-a man who is one thing to-
day and something else morrow
whether it be in politics, the ordinary
business of life or social intercourse.
After doing all they could to create
prejudice, distrust and even bitterness
OF feeling among the people, going so
far as to encourage boycotting Of news
papers that did not surrender princi-
pie and manhood and truckle to de-
signing demagogues, and refusing to
hear speakers who told the people Of the
error of their way, there is certain
class of newspapers in this State find
ing themselves whipped at the polls
and on the wrong side of public senti-
ment, that are now singing a different
tune. But their advice comes too
late. Their change of front is not
voluntary. Their, repentance is but
the whimpering of whipped child.
They have done all the mischief they
can and their conciliatorv talk now is
simply adding insult to....injury. We
publish below a few samples of what
we find in some of these papers since
the election. Their former course
and the figures they cut in the campaign

people. Further comment. is un.
necessary. Here they are:

is a farmer and owner of cotton gin
told US that some of his neighbors, who
are Peoples party men, had boycott
led his gin for no other reason than
that he didn't agree with them polit.
icaily. We hear of much of this bust
ness throughout the State and country
especially in the South. 1t is confined
to no one party; Democrats and Re-
publicans have boycotted each other
and have treated Peoples party mer
the same way. All tbs is wrong. Ii
is dangerous spirit. There is nc
objection to enthusiasm in politics OF
anything, but this bitter party feeling
should not be cultivated. If you are
sure that man is unworthy of your
patronage, you are at liberty to trans
fer it elsewhere, but it is wrong to in
jure a man in business who honestly
believes that his way is right. Give
everybody a chance to think wha
they please. This is intended for nc
particular party-it applies to all

Now the election is over. Bur,
your political differences and let's get
down to business. Let all true AL
liancemen, no matter how they voted
take more interest in the organization
All political campaigns tend to thu
injury of the Alliance, but the RICH
kind of efforts will always re-unite us
Let political discussion stop for TIT
acknowledgements Farmer.
Allancemen who during the cam
paign, have been estranged on accoun
of holding different political view
should bury the Ratchet. The worl
of education in economic and indus
trial questions must continue. Th
Alliance should forever be kept abov
politics. An organization of thi
kind is capable of rendering valuabl
service to the State and Nation il

This campaign has been the mos
heated that has been carried on in th
State for many years. Prejudice
passion, and bitterness2fwere the orde
of the day. But let us hope now tina
the campaign is over all wounds mad
: may be speedily healed, and a

been most unfortunate campaign
The motives Of good, honest, me
have been questioned and friends,
very many instances divided int

friends reconcile their differences. Tn;
real bitterness and prejudice shout
longer exist is absolute folly, an
