the United States.

the United States.
There is tide on in this great coun-
try.
The prOhibitionists want to fuse
with the Peoples party in Indiana.
State Senator Todd, democrat, of the
Atlanta, (Ga.,) district has joined the
Peoples party.
In North Carolina only one Farmers
Alliance has refused to endorse the st.
Louis platform thus far.
The United States senate has set
down hard on the Peoples party bills
thus far submitted. Let the farmers
and labOrerS understand that Congress
turns deaf ear.
1t is very evident from the editorials
of the Atlanta Constitution, the most
widely read democratic paper in the
south, that Georgia is lost to the de-
mocracy, the Peoples party having
captured this commonwealth.
Gen. r. NJ. Humphrey is the presi-
dent of the National Farmers ALI
ance, which has a membership of over
100000. "The cOlored people of the
south" says Gen. Humphrey, "are at
present almost unit for the Peoples
party"
The Washington corps of newspaper
correspondents may be taken as the
most Sharp-eyed colony at the capitol
We notice that since the defeat of the
silver bill they are beginning to con-
slider the possibility that the Peoples
party may capture enough southern
states to throw the presidential cleo
tion into the house.
Western Exchange: The republican
party in this end of the state is demor-
ilzed. Judge Botkin has taken a claim
in the Oklahoma country and will not
have time to take the stump in the
campaign. 1t is said that the Judge
took this course purposely in order TO
free himself of the baneful influence of
republican rOt.enness.
The Colorado silver men held con-
ventiOn at Denver on April %. Reso-
lutions were adopted that in the event
of the republican and democratic ma
tional conventions failing to endorse
free coinage and nominate free coin
age men for president and vice-presi-
dent, then they shall support the party
that does. This silver convention rep
resented the people of Colorado and
means what it says.
There never was presidential cleo
tion," says the indianapolis Sentinel,
an influential democratic paper, ain
the history of the country when it be-
hoOved political parties to look more
carefully to the influence of reason
than the present one. On every hand
there are evidences of discomfort and
dissatisfaction with party management.
In some of the southern states the Al
lance movement has taken control of
the democratic organization. In Kan
sas, Nebraska and South Dakota it has
overthrown the republican organi-
zation. In New York thousands of
prominent democrats are in open re-
belliOn against the machine. The i'll
duStrial third party movement has
come before the country in more CON-
pact shape and on more ineligible
basis than ever before"
"The democratic primaries" says
press dispatch, "held in dozen differ
ent Georgia counties, reveal remark
able state of affairs. For the first time
the leaders have had their eyes opened
to the remarkable growth of the third
party, which seems likely to wrest
Georgia from their grasp. In some
counties almost all the members of the
democratic committee have gone over
to the third party, leaving the demo-
cratic party so badly crippled that
there was no official method of calling
the party together. At Gainesville the
chairman of the Hall county CON-
mittee deserted with almost all the
members of the committee. In Barlow
county only four of the fifteen mem.
bers Of the county committee remain.
In Washington, Jackson, Troup and
other largest counties, the same state
of affairs is found. The farmers all
seem to be going into the Peoples
party."-Ne,0 Nation.
