President Polk Of the farmers alliance spoke,
at Charlotte. N. c.. last night. He said that
the farmers wanted relief. and that Il was q
matter OF life or death, liberty or slavery. He
said he was opposed TO Hill because the New
Yorker does not show his hand on the silver
question. His address was an out-and-out third
party speech.
Fusion Rumor.
The Washington Post has unearthed deep
laid plot by which a coalition between the
democrats and the farmers alliance is to be
brought about and the election for president
thrown into the house Of representatives. Ths
Post says that the proposition in Nebraska
now under consideration is to nominate demo-
cratic and alliHnee electors End fight in ap.
parent sincerity for both tickets. but just before
the election word is to be passed around quietly
among the democrats to vote for the alliance
electoral ticket, and thus lose the state to the
republicans. In some other states the plan
will be for the alliance to support the demo<
cratic electoral ticket and so on. Where
combination is made. however, some arrange>
ment will be mGds that the alliance men
can gain larger representation in congress
than they have at present. Representative
Castle of Minnesota said 10 Post reporter thss
the plan was not only feasible. but he believed
that it would be carried out. 1T only rests
with the democrats TO put it into effect, said he,
'as the alliance is willing enough and has
already made overtures to the democrats Of the
northwest" CARLTON.
