rho Alliance leaders here are deeply inter
s.ted in the convention which is 10 meet in
81 Louis on the 22d instant The scheme Is
g. merge an the labor organizations with tho
Alliance and thus form a third party. If the
merging process can be brought t. success
ful issue the third party Will certainly be
launched upon the rough political waters

MIGHT nrEAR rHE SOLID SOUTH.
Soma Of the Democrats fear that third
,,ortv ,v;fb o presidential ticket IN the field
MIGHT draw votes from the Democrats I'D lhe
South But this does not seem TO be the
general opinion. Democratic AeMueis OF
Concrese from the South quite generally
eeree nat their constituents cannot be de-
IS5e1 INTO helping the Republican party by
voting a third party ticket. There are no
,,,ora ioval devoted Democrats than the con-
e,ressu.en who were elected from North
Carolina as Alliance men. Ihey
are AZ the opinion that the Democrats of their
respective districts Will stand Loyalty by their
rartv. The evils that would result from
Democratic division in the South would be so
ualnabie that but few men OF the party would
io trusted. Here and there. of course. selfish
and disappointed politicians might take up
tie third party cause. but the Democratic
voters would not follow them. IL Is only
thr.u1h the maintainance of Democratic rule
nat tie rights Of the people and the prOtec-
ton of property can be assured. In the
North. or rather Northwest. the situation IS
different. Jerry Simpson and his colleagues
coucede that if they are 30 remain in public
life they must maintain party organization
antagonstic to both Democratic and Repub-
lcan parties.

factured products. In other words, they de
sired to reap the benefit If a larger profit
in our manufactured goods such as clothing
Caruefg &c lut the democrats Dl inc way
and Means determined that there should be
an EQUITABLE reduction-One that would give
consumers some benefit Of the reduced cost
of manufacture.
