AN UNHoLY ALLIANCE.

Ths Cube Democrat OF November 4
had the following special from Washing
ton, which is full OF significance at this
time. We had private information from
Washing on that these circulars were be
ing published by the Economist office, or
We might lay the whole matter aside as
campaign bLncomhe. We would not
wish to do DR.. Macume injustice, but
this matter needs explanation, and if he
can clear himself from the suspicion now
resting upon him, we shall be 8 lad to set
him right. We want no more Liv-
ingstons, however, filling responsible
positions in this reform moment Ed
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3-The big
gest surprise that has developed during
the campaign in this city is the discov-
cry that some Of the most trusted leaders
Of the Farmers Alliance arc secretly
working in harmony with and under the
direction of the democratic national
committee, and are using the name OF
the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union to spread the doctrines Of the
democratic platform and to adVo-
cate the election of Grover Cleveland
throughout the south and west, wher-
ever members of the Farmers Alliance
have an organization ard can be reached
with misleading pamphlets. The scheme
is one of the boldest pieces of political
trickery that has been unearthed this
year. The facts in the case, as given be-
low, are made public for the first time
through the columns Of the Globe Demo-
crGt.
The south and several of the western
states have been Fl ,oded for some time
past with thousands Of copies Of six CAM
paign pamphlets bearing these titles:
l. The Farmers Alliance and the cur
rency Issue. Let us read and reflect, and
proceed on lipes of moderation and con-
servatlsm, that we may act wisely. Pre-
pared bv the Lecture Bureau Of the N.

ager and director, Washington. D. G.
2. A protest n appeal.
3. The force bill Is alive. Recent re-
publican declarations in favor Of that
revolutionary measure.
4. An open letter from J. T. Tillman,
secretary of the executive board of the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, to the truth-seeking citizens
OF this great nation, gives r"Iiable statis-
tics as to the financial legislation OF the
past two congresses, showing the effect of
the same upon the productive Interests
of the country.

Alliance and Industrial Union.
These pamphlets, though written by
and issued under the direction of Mr.. |
Tillman, secretary Of the executive board |
Of the National Farmers Alliance, are
straight-out democratic campaign docu
ments. They hew close to the line Of |
the Chicago platform, and advocate the
principles Of the democratic party in the
strongest terms.
