The Straight of 1t.

We know very we'll what the Peo-
ple's party voters are trying to do in
the Northwest. They are trying to
defeat the Republican party and re-
peal its evil legislation. Their efforts
have reason, logic and common sense
behind them. But what reason or
common sense is there in the effort of
Southern farmeTs-men who have
made the party what it is-tO cripple
the Democratic organization and
thereby strengthen the Republican
party ? We pause for q reply.--Atian-
Ia Constitution.
The Constitution knows that the
purposes and aims of the leaders of the
Democrats South, are the same as are
the aims and objects of leaders of the
Republican party North and West.
There is no difference in the results
from the efforts of both gangs. The
Republicans are bold enough to do
what they please, and the Democratic
leaders are too cowardly to object or
make any defense on any actual living
issue. The tariff reform" fad is no
good as deceiver of the South any
longer; the "Force bill' fraud has lost
its terror to Southerners since the
West and Northwest at Omaha pledged
us it should not become law. The
Constitution is not so ignorant as it is
venal. 1t knows that Mr.. Cleveland
is unworthy of the support of true
Southern men. 1t knows that his ad-
ministration was one of favoritism to
New York and English interests. Yet
it snaps and snarls, howls and apollo i.
gizes for him and harrahs for the
Eastern obligarchy.-Southern Mer-
curry.

The New York Voice has been inter
viewing the Democratic saloon-keep-
ers of Buffalo and finds them practi.
cally solid for Cleveland. They are
enthusiastic over the anti-sumptuary
plank in the Democratic national plat
form, upon which Cleveland stands,
and declare unhesitatingly that il
means protection to the liquor busines,
and immunity from "the prosecutions
of the fanatical Prohibitionists.'
"Grover is all right this time" is the
universal response of the Democratic
saloon fraternity, and unless Chair
man Carter, of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, emulating his pre-
decessor, Mr.. Quay, shall arrange tt
trade the Democratic rum vote fol
Elder Harrison again it will be cas-
practically solid for Cleveland.

Prentiss and Marshall.

Prentiss, like some comet of the
years, dazzled mankind, with the
spIendor of his oratory and genius for
brief period and thea passed away
into the unknown region. His cotem-
pOrary, DR.. C.. X. Marshall, parallel in
oratory brilliance and genius, but his
autithesis in character and spiritual
manhood, shone through his long and
useful career, like some resplendent,
unchanging sun Illuminating for all
time the world about him.
All, how he surpasses and rises
above Prentiss in the glory and gran
deur of exalted Christian manhood.
After we discuss the eloquence and
and genius of these two great sons of
Maine, there the comparison fails, then
there rises above the towering figure
of Prentiss an image of such glorious
height that one will have to Gift his
eyes high towards heaven to view his
crown.
As Amiel says of Aurelius, ''to see
all things in God, to make of ones
life a journey towards the ideal, to
live with gratitude, with gentleness,
usefulness and courage" that was the
splendid life of DR.. C. X. Marshall.

Cory KilgOre.

The anomalous Kilgore-so-called be
cause he bores to kill-gave a kick al
the door OF the sleeper as he event roar
ing through st. Louis last week, and
in reply TO a cheerful reporter said
that there was mo third party in Texas
that it was nowhere, that it was fable
and dream" We would like to be in
Dallas when the recalcitrant Kilgore
wakes up in that delicious, breezy
town.
1t is a solemn fact, and we are well
advised on this subject, that Nugent,
the Third party candidate for the Of
fee of governor, in Texas, will sweep
the State. There are three candidates:
one, Hogg, a coarse one, a straight,
razor-back Democrat duly nominated
by the old moss-back, Office holders
the same that set up Jones of Alabama.
But Mr.. Swine of Texas will never get
there. Clark, another lawyer of con-
siderable ability, is running because
ne huO"S NOV very Ntdh I1OBS Il.
Clark and Hogg will devour one an
other, and it is very unsavory feast,
while Nugent, even if there were no
Third party, will defeat and triumph
over both these men, He would defeat
either, in a single-handed contest; but
now he has walk over. And we are
happy to say that Texans, however lit
tie inclined to give Radical any sort
of chance, deal honestly and on the
square with other Texans. There1l be
no foul, disgraceful ballot-box stuffing
in Texas.
Kilgore, we greatly fear, will kick
himself to death when he gets to Dal-
las and hears, as he will, that Nugent
will surely be the next governor of
the Lone Star State.

Why?

Why don't the enemies of the Peo-
ple's party attack our platformi Why
don't they show that we don't need
more money and free coinage and a
graduated ..income taxi Why don't
they show that it would be more Dem
ocratic for the railroads to own the
people than for the people to own the
railroads. Why don't they show that
it is wrong for the government to re-
deem the land from the foreign syndi-
Gates and from railroads in excess of
their actual needs and hold it for act
ual settlers of her own citizensf Why
do they ignore all the important mat
tiers that affect the people, and jump
OH Gen. Weaver and villify him and
tell lies on him, all because he was
nominated by the Peoples partyf
Why don't they meet the issue like
menf Are they reduced to such
straits as theseF Just ask them to
point out in their platform where any
of our demands are recognized and
where relief is promised, and right
straight they will jump on Gen.
Weaver.

tampered with a ballot box in this
fair and honorable contest for the

citizens of the State. At Cullman and

frauds and wrongs were done, the
people have come in armed bodies
demanding the instant ratification o.
foulest malpractices. They threaten

The demagogue who comes before
you and pleads for Office, advising you
to stick to the Wall street crowd, and
perpetuate industrial slavery, for fear
the ''nigger will git you,n is unworthy
of confidence. In Mississippi we have
ten white registered voters to one
negro. So the trickster who says we
have no alternative but negro rulers
on one hand, or industrial slavery on
the other, insults the intelligence OF
the people. But, if indeed it was
true, would still say, never "stand
still,n God is ever with a just cause.

1t looks as If Kolb, the independent
candidate for Governor, has carried
the white counties in Alabama, while
Jones, the Democratic candidate is
said to have carried the black or me-
gro counties. This simply shows that
the blacks are becoming Democrats
while the whites are becoming Repab-
licans. The same conditions of things
is observable in Mississippi just now.

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas, the general condition Of our eoun
try imperatively demands unity OF action on
the part Of the laboring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour
aging the toiling masses-leading them In
the road to prosperity and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, a just ex
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount OF good we hold to the
principle that all monopOles are dangerous tC
the best interest OF our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subyert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers OF American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
ples

4. To develop better state mentally, morally

5. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
9. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudiees, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which 1t garners, are
the tears OF the widows and orphans, and Its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of a brother or sister bury the
dead care for the willows and educate the or
phans; to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus

and its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, its intention Is : ION earth
