Stand Together.


A sub-Alliance in Georgia last
week passed a resolution to the effect
that if the Alliance of Georgia COM
mitted itself to the ST. Louis platform
that sub-Alliance would pay no more
dnes TO the Alliance, but would,
forthwith surrender its charter. It
took the very proper position that
the Alliance had nothing to do with
political platforms and that when it
got to endorsing political platforms it
violated its own fundamental law.
Some time ago it seemed that the
third party movement was making
considerable Roadway among the AL
lance men of Georgia because a few
active and ambitious men who were
working to promote their own for
tunes through this party succeeded
in getting a good many of the sub
Alliances of that State to endorse
the st. Louis platform by making
them believe that it promised a bet
lerment of the condition of the till.
ers of the soil which they could not
expect from any other party. They
were told that the farmers Of the
West were with them and were
marching under the same banner to
success.
They were told this but they have
seen no evidence Of it anywhere.
They haye seen no stirring of the
waters anywhere but in the South,
and in the South they see it nowhere
but within the Democratic lines.
They have seen no Republicans 60
ing around among Republicans ar
raigning the Republican party, as
some men who call themselves Dem
ocrats are going around arraigning
the Democratic party and trying to
shake confidence in it. They have
seen no Republicans renouncing allie
glance to the Republican party and
resolving to stand upon the st. Louis
platform.
Many Of the Georgia Alliance men
! who at first leaned towards the third
Tparty have taken note of these
things, their suspicious have been
aroused and as a result the third
party movement is not as strong as
it was thirty days ago and is losing
strength every day.
In this State, too, although we do
not believe the movement had gained
much strength, We believe it is losing
ground as the people investigate it
and realize its inevitable conse-
quences. At a meeting Of Buck
horn Alliance, in Chatham county.
on the Esd ult., the four following
resolutions were adopted and pub
lished by request in the Chatham

These resolutions do credit to thu
good sense Of the men who adopted
them, and express the sentiments O.

We have never had any fears tina
