However, Guice is the only one of
them IN the south who is bold enough
to state his position. The third party
platform is silent OH the subject, aud
SO are thei leaders and journals. But
they all favor it, and it is strange how
IA southern white man, especially one
who believes in states rights, can at
filiate with such a party.
WARNING TO THE FARMERS.
Mer Rouge Vidette The good men
who are farmers, and who Welt into
the Alliance when it was a n0n-politi-
cal organization. are being sorely tried
and many OF them are being led astray
listening to the demagogues who got
into the organization. The thirG par
ty leaders are schemers-men who
have failed to become leaders in either
the Republican OF the Democratic par
ties and who have been failures at ey-
erything they have eve tried. For
the reasons that they are renegades
and outcasts from the two great par
ties, they are desperate and their spec
ches made are more abuse of the par
ties that have failed to recognize their
claims to recognition thar anything
else. A maj drunk ordinarily thinks
everybody drunk but himself. And
politicians, tricksters and schemers try
to create the impression that every
body is wrong but themsel yes.
NC SPLIT IN II FIFTH DISTRICT DE-
MOCRACY.
Caldwell Waterman When the
Fifth district executive committee fixed
the basis of representation III pOpula-
ton. it was merely carrying out in
structions given it by the convention
which created it two years ago, and
whether fair or not, that basis u i'll
have To be accepted by all Democrats,
because it has been fixed in strict &C
cordance with party usage. The state
Democracy had no right to dictate to
the district Democracy as to how it
should conduct its primary political at
fairs, and that minority of the Fifth
district executive committee, who at
tempted to force upon the party of this
district Il rule adopted by the voters OF
the whole state, were in favor of recog-
nizing and legalizing a %usurpation of
authority on the part of the state De-
mocracy that wonid but prove a dan
gerOus innovation and destruction to
the party of this distric5.
THINK THEY ARE ENEMIES.
Iberville South j: The Democratic ex-
ecutive committee of the Fifth con-
gressional district of Louisiana has
submitted a very able address to the
Democratic voters of the said district,
wherein it is shown that the action of
the boiling delegates was un-Demo-
cratic and unprecedented. There ex-
lists no longer within the Democratic
party any fractional differences Eos
terites and McEneryites are one, and
the white mans party is again solid
and united, to remain so, we trust, for
all time to come. We are rather in
clined to believe that the boltels of the
Fifth congressional district committee
are not Democrats, but are third par
tyltes who are acting a very unenvia-
BILE part in the hope of disrupting the
Democracy. But the schemers will
hardly succeed. Let the Democrats
close up their ranks, forget the dead
past, and as one band of brothers.
march forward in solid pha'anx and
victory will be theirs.
GUICE n GUNBY.
Morehouse Clarion: What is the diff
ference, politically, between TT. Guice
and Judge Gunby? Guice is in favor
of government ownership of railroads
and telegraphs, SO is Gunby. Guice is
in favor of the sub-treasury bill-the
land loan scheme-and so is Gunby.
Then doesn't it seem rather inconsist-
ent for paper to be ''cussin" and abus-
ing Guice on account of his political
opinions, and doing all in its power to
boost Gunby and send him to congress?
The bolt from the committee in Monroe
the 9th inst. was in the interest of
Gunby, and vas done for no other pur-
i'll the world but to nominate him
for congress. Those who Indorse that
boll and are in favor of the 10Th of
conventions, called by the
bo-ters, are simply working fer Gunby,
who is as deeply imbued with third
party principles as Guice or any other
man. The bolt from the committee 81.
the 9th inst. is (as has been truly said
III the Democratic address) the first
move Ill the direction of the third par
t.y, and those who favor it are simply
alders and abettors of that party.
