Alliance Plow Boy speaks to thu
point. 1t is correct So stern has
been the lesson that no Pinkertons'
we're imported into Tennessee for the
mine outbreak or to suppress the Buff
falo strike: The Pinkerton system
received blow at Homestead that

Chicago Sentinel: The Simla
Currency association of Calcutta has
issued a circular which says that the
silver standard has cost. India $780,
OOO 900 rupees which might as we'll
have been thrown into the sea. The
circular adds that there is no hope of
getting England to adopt bimetalism

Alliance Herald: The Jones crowd
are sick and detected over present ills
and future prospects. They would like
to undo many things which they have
done and do many things which they
have refused to do. There is no
health in them. Twenty counties in
Alabama can control the state under
the present election law. should the
3 probate judges clerks and sheriffs of
!. those counties conspire to accomplish
that result These counties can
!. can count enough votes to defeat
the remainder of the state in any cleo
ton. The little. petty despotism thus
enthroned will have to tremble and
fall to pieces un9er the demand of
the people for their rights and liber-
ties.
