THE ALLIANCE.

IoopioS A0vOcat0: Ihe day OF our
ueliverance seems to be fast approach
Ing. Within the last seven months
767 new Peoples party papers have
been started in the United States.
Among them fifteen dailies In the
state of Colorado.
Chickasaw Messenger: A promi-
hent Georgia Democrat SAYS Tom
Watson must be defeated in the No
vember election if it takea $780, 900
ITO do it Doodle and ballot-stuffinr
will be the principal argument used
in this campaign by the old twin
parties.
National View: It cannot be ex-
pected that 4122 grains of silver will
be worth as much in the market as
bullion-244 grains of gold-until we
give 4129 grains of silver the same
deot-paying power that we give "a
grains OF gold as money by law. The
time has been. before 1873, when they
were equal in the market
Independent: The old line Demo-
Gratis in Florida must look out for a
scorching at the forthcoming election.
In Florida the .kickers' or Demo.
Gratis who favor the Ocala demands
came over to the Peoples party and
a consolidation of the whole Alliance
force OF the state was at once effected.
The Republicans of the state have
refrained from making any nomination
and the Peoples ticket will win.
Plow and Hammer: The old party
press is printing in flaming head lines
and with apparent great glee that
Lieutent- Colonel Streator. who hung
Private 1ams up by the thumbs was,
at recent election unanimously re-
elected to his position. They do not
state that only line officers partic-
ipate in the election. and that they
are the same class of men that Streat-
or is. We would like to know how
the prlvates would have voted.

Southern Mercury: General j. B.
=, Weaver on commemoration day said:
Il answer standing reverently amid a
sea OF graves where glory guards
with solemn round the bivouac of the
dead. no North. no South. but band
OF brothers reunited in a common
brotherhood.
Under the sod and the dew,
Awaiting the judgment day,
There are signs and tears for the blue
There tears and signs for the gray"
American Economist: A CORE
,spondent Of the New York Sun quotes
a member of the Democratic national
Z committee to the following effect:
cleveland like Lincoln gets the
credit of great candor and straight
forwardness but is. Notwithstanding.
most practical politician. 1t was
one thing to get the Democratic nom
ination; it is another thing to be
elected. He had an instinct in '88,
just as he had in 49, that a free.
trader cannot be elected. And this
is the reason why Mr.. Cleveland. in
wanton disregard of mugwump hon
-esty." advocated the straddles Of 1888
and 1892.
Virginia Sun: The Peoples party
is the only party that has adopted the
platform of the Farmers Alliance; the
Farmers Alliance therefore adopts
the ticket Of the Peoples party. The
\ Alliance 'imperatively demands unity
Aof action on the part OF its members
N behalf Of the laboring classes"
Such unity of action was unanimously
decided by the National Alliance to
be-vote for the St Louis platform.
The only way to vote for that plat
form Is to vote with the Peoples party.
II his is not the fault of the Alliance
talt the fault of the two old parties,
which refused to recognize our plat.
form.

: General Snowden, of Homestead
fnfamy. writes: ITO my mind it Is
very evident that the authorities of
the state will eventually have to join
in actual battle with anarchy and the
commune. The people may as we'll
make up their minds that the
eruption at Homestead indicates the
presence Of disease in the body polite
which extends far beyond anything of
which they have conceived and.
instead of criticising the efforts of
spirited and patriotic officers to
preserve discipline in the ranks of
the soldicry. they should do every
thing in their power to uphold them.
I believe the hour is not far distant
when peace and order will have to be
enforced at the point of the bayonet.
x & AS our fathers fought for in
! pendence and the war of the
dSellion was waged for the union.
