ALLIANCE NOTES.
Stand up for liberty.

Vote for justice and equality.
The November election is close at
hand and the populists are gaining
ground every day,
down with the imperialism of plu-
tocracy; up with the rights of the peo-
ple-People's Party Paper,
The Alabama correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution declares that he
has been able to find but one conf
dent democrat in that state He
quotes several who fix Weaver's major
1ty at from 40, 600 to SO, 600
The solid south is broken. The
peoples party was the instrument that
perfected the deed. 1t will be no easier
for Cleveland to carry southern state
than it will for Harrison to receive the
electoral vote of the silver states
Bethany (Mo.) Labor Herald
Alabama has got her fighting
clothes on. Our exchanges from that
state are confident of victory. There
will undoubtedly be peoples party con-
gressmen elected from some of the dis
tricts, and the state will give her vote
to Weaver and Field.-Kiowa KAN
Review.
The box-toed, cigarette-smokinp
and beer-guzzling politicians of North
Carolin;- are down in the mouth. They
see that the reform movement is now
too far ahead to be overtaken The

1t is said that what are known as
the silver states are no longer put in
the republican column by the national
managers of that party when figuring
on the result, as they are regarded as
almost certain to be carried by the peo-
ple's party. Mr.. Clarkson practically
admittea as much in Washington re-
Gently.
The rlain people in this coun try
have become satisfied that something
must be done, or our republic is gone.
They a determined to have hand in
the future management of national afi
fairs. he plutocrats need not soothe
themselves with the idea that this
movem Mt is ephemeral and will disap-
pear af er November If we are not
successful in November next it will
only ne ve us to redoubled energy. We
are in II to stay, and don't mistake us.
The insults heaped upon public
third party speakers in different parts
OF the union is not a surprise to any
one. 1t has happened to others and
especially to new party leaders. Who
cannot reason is a fool; who will not
reason Is bigot; who dare not reason
Is slave. This matter of politics is
one OF business and affects every citi-
zen. Then should it not be one of
reason rather than one of pre- judice and
intolerance?-S Swift County CMiun
/ Standard.
-Ihe Whippers n.-These arrogant
specimens of political sbysterism are
Dusy now, and the party lash is swish
ing the air in every direction. The
usual slave drivers have been found
entirely inadequate to the present
emergency, and grave judges, dignified
senat IS. and pompous congressman
have reaehed down and seized the party
whip But they find the people more
staoborn than they ever were before,
and the number of kickers is increasing
every day.-Mt. Vernon (IlL) Progress
sive Farmer.
The south is in the process of dis
ruption; that a social and political
revolution is going on is apparent to
any G who makes a careful study of
/ the EXISTING conditions in Georgia, Ala
bama, the two Carolinas and Virginia.
1t is a revolution more profound than
that which is going on in the west.
