MISLEADING.

In the absence of other information
on the subject, one would suppose by
reading the Alliance department of
the State Ledger, that Alliancemen in
both the Carolinas are Internationally
committed to abide by the action of
the National Democratic Convention
and will support that party's ticket;
whereas, in fact, there is much that
points to the very reverse.
1t must be borne in mind that in
each of these States State ticket was
to be nominated this year, as well as
delegates elected to the National Dem
ocratic Convention. The Alliancemen
accordingly decided to adopt a dual
policy. They determined to capture
the Democratic primaries and State
Convention, nominate State ticket
and adopt platform to suit their own
ideas, and then reserve the right of
supporting the Peoples party's candi-
date for President and Vice-President.
In proof of this it may be cited that
in North Carolina a Conference of AL
lance men, representing 95 of the 96
counties of the State, composed princi-
pally of delegates to the Democratic
State Convention, was held in Raleigh
the day before the Democratic Conven-
ton met, and the representatives of 81
of the 95 counties voted to endorse the
st. Louis Conference platform. On
May 18th, the day the Democratic
State Convention met, a meeting was
held in Raleigh at which 10 counties
were represented, the Peoples party
formally organized, and Col. Polk en-
dorsed as the choice Of that party for
President of the United States.
These facts we gather from the Pro
gressive Farmer, the official organ of
the Alliance of North Carolina.
In South Carolina, Alliancemen cap
tured the Democratic State Conven-
ton, nominated State ticket Of Ali
ancemen, condemned Cleveland and
adopted the Ocala platform. Accord
ing to the press dispatches a res
olution condemning the Peoples party
was voteddown, and another pledging
the delegates to abide by the action
of the National Democratic Convention
was tabled.
Rather peculiar conduct all this, if
the Alliancemen in these States are
welded to the National Democratic
party.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-06-02

under the Constitution and laws of
this State by the proper officers of this
State, is hereby declared to be an es-
sential and necessary qualification to
vote at any and all elections"
Right under that we quote what the
Supreme Court Of Mississippi said in
an opinion last week in the case of
Robt. Sproule vs.. +. A. Fredericks, in
the contested election case from War
rem county:
THE regulation of the right of suf-
frage belongs to the State, and the on
ly limitation thereon to be found in
the Constitution of the United States,
or the latest amendments thereto, will
be found in the prohibition of discrim-
nation against persons on account of
race or color. 1t is an idle consump-
ton of time to talk of this as at all
doubtful. The Supreme Court of the
United States has more than once af-
firmed it."
We have been a little long, dear
reader, and possibly tedious, but we
wanted to show you why, unlike Major
Barksdale, we are not alarmed at this
Force bill talk and why you shouldn't
be either.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
To the Friends of Reform.

A good many persons will receive
copies of this issue of the LEADER who
are not subscribers. Their names have
been furnished us by friends as persons
in sympathy with the main lines of re-
form the paper expects to champion.
and who would be likely to become
subscribers if they could see a sample
copy and their attention specially call
ed to the subject. To all such we say.
we wish you to become regular sub
scribers and we ask you to send us the
subscription price and begin at once.
The paper needs your patronage and
we believe you need or will need it.
Our principal object in removing the
LEADER to jackson, after publishing it
nine years in Brookhaven, was to Sc
cure a more advantageous position,
where we could furnish the people of
Mississippi with reform paper that
is absolutely unfettered and independ-
ent of partisan and official influence.
1t has been a cherished ambition to
offer the people of the State an oppor-
tunity to have such "A paper at their
State Capital Now that we have done
this, the responsibility for its ultimate
success or failure is largely with them.
The paper lived several years at Brook
haven on boycots and abuse, but that
sort of diet, without variety. becomes
unpalatable.
You will obtain fair idea from this
issue, of the general character of the
paper. We do not expect to please
every body, and we will be entirely
frank and say further we do not eX-
pect to please anybody all the time;
but the paper will always be found
headed right on all of the main trunk
lines of reform. and standing shoulder
to shoulder with the best people of the
State in whatever tends to the moral,
material and political welfare of the
commonwealth.
Money on subscription may be for
warded either by registered letter,
postoffice money order, or simply en-
closed in letter, at our risk, and re
ceipt will be promptly acknowledged.
1t will be taken as a special favor if
old friends and subscribers will assist

ADAY OF RECKONING

The Democratic party is piling uI
wrath against the day of wrath. With
A MAJORITY OF ONE HUNDRED
AND FORTY in the House
1t has killed the silver bill!
1t has killed the anti-option bill, in
tended to destroy future gambling in
farm products!
1t has refused to give the Sub-Treas-
ury bill a respectful hearing or to
'offer something better!
It killed an amendment to close the
Columbian Exposition OH the Christian
Sabbath!
1t killed another to prohibit the sale
of liquors on the Exposition grounds!
And it killed still another to pro-
hibit gambling schemes, lotteries, etc,
on the Exposition grounds!
And yet this party of false pretenses,
broken promises and moral bank
ruptcy, has the unspeakable gall to ex-
pect Christian men and honest farmers
of Mississippi to stick to it.
