ALLIANCE NOTES.

"A 1o0.
And a reb.
Both generals.
The reb has only one leg.
The blue and gray-the north and
south.
The war is over, sectionalism de-
stroyed and the bloody shirt buried.
The peoples party is the only party
that dare recognize common citizen
ship.
1t was a great convention, and the
plutocratic twins are trembling in their
boots
There is but one solution to the
tariff and that is income tax. With this
you need no sariff and the great ques-
tion is solved.
organized labor will hardly be sat-
isfied with either Reid or Stevenson.
One favors non-union printers and the
other employs non-union miners.
Can anybody tell why the peoples
party cannot win this year? If so,
speak out North Carolina is going to
win her part-Progressive Farmer.
"A solid democratic south is menace
to good government Let the west,
| northwest and south come together in
grand national party free from section
alism.
Typographical union No. of New
York joins 101 in repudiating the re-
publican nomination at Minneapolis
Whitelaw Reid's death-bed repentance
| didn't fool anybody.
Silver was demonetized in 1873, and
hot
Russian wheat was enabled to compete
| with American wheat in the Liverpool
market.-Great West
1t was glorious convention. A
| grand gathering of the common peo-
| pie" And, best of all, they all paid
| their own expenses and were actuated
solely by patriotic motives.
| Talk about perennial candidates
James B. Weaver has been nominated
twice now in twelve years; Grover Cleve-
lrnd three times in eight years; Benja-
min Harrison twice in four years.
If by the aid of machinery a man
can do fifteen times the labor his father
did, should he not make fifteen times as
much money as his father did? If not,
why not?-Hutchinson (Kan.) Alliance
Gazette.
The character of the men nomi-
mated and the platforms adopted by the
plutocracy is an attempt to drive alli-
ance doctrine down the throats of alli-
ancemen with pile driver National
Economist.
ALI this rot about national force
bill and "a plot to disfranchise the
voters of the south" is very tiresome.
The man who would give credit to such
ought to be placed in an asylum
Arkansas Economist.
An exchange says the free silver
advocates are dissatisfied, but will re-
main in the democratic party to fight
the force bill. A man that would stay
in q party to fight thing that will
never exist is pretty sort of a crank
Progressive Farmer.
The peoples party of Colorado has
daily papers in the Denver News, the
Durango Muldoon, Colorado City Chief
tain, and the Pueblo Daily Crisis will be
issued next month. 1t also has twenty
two weekly advocates. The field is
fully overwhelming Crisis
The attitude of the old parties to-
ward the alliance is one of ''war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt" The
alliance must either boldly accept the
challenge or pusillanimously acknowl-
edge that it has only been trying to
scare omebody.-National Economist
The peoples party candidates for
president and vice-president differ from
the old party nominees in that they
were chosen by the masses, not by the
money kings Of the country. They are
men for whom all honest people can
cast their ballots with a clear con-
science.
Eleventh hour converts in politics,
as well as in religion, are to be fostered
and looked after, assisted and helped,
but should not be put into the front
ranks to lead and direct. Those who
have helped make the platform, and
who have fought for the principles con-
tanned therein, are the ones to rely up
on.-Great West.
The Atlanta Constitution tells the
farmers of Georgia all other issues are
impotent in the presence of the threat
ened force bill. The farmers know that
the peoples party stands pledged to de.
feat this legislation if placed in power,
and will keep its pledge. Then it would
seem that the logic of events points the
southern farmer to the peoples party
as his haven of safety'-Atlanta (Ga.
Peoples Party Paper.
The political antecedents and past
history of leaders of southern mobs
should be carefully inquired into. The
revival of the force bill issue and the
negro supremacy yell are sus
piciously coincident with the present
Iepidemic of negro lynchings in the
south. Machine politicians of the twir
fraud persuasion are devoid of con
science, honor and patriotism. If ths
men of the southland would be fret
they must crush out negro lynchingl
with an iron heel.
