eS&. We believe our friend f. WI I.
entirely mistaken in snpposing there is a
prejudice in the minds Of any important
number or class of people against the Far
mers' Alliance, rs a farmers business orrani-
zation. Tho objection is not to the order
but in the fact that its leaders arc mak-
lug it a secret political organization to foist
themselves into public offices.
Look at the proceedings of last weeks So
called democratic convention. No true
democrat can read those proceedings and
not feel that it was the most undem ocratic
democratic convention ever hold in this
State.
AS the county delegates arriv ed in tho city
otColubia the day before, the Tillmau.Irby-
Ialbert-Stokes ring marshalled them into
caucus, under Alliance restrictions ofsecrecy.
from which all old line true aud tried demo.
Gratis not of that order were excluded.
In that secret caucus the Columbia Rinp
had everything cut aud dried for tho con .
vention to confirm the next day. So uniust
ana so undemocratic did these proceedings
appear when they come up before the full
convention that one of the leading membsr,
OF the caucus forgot his pledge, and had 10
be reminded of it on the floor of thel con .
ysntion. when his honest democracy cr}pped
aroitrary prCsoUdfnSI IIau Uevn "a .,,
on by tho Alliance majority in secret
clave the night before.
The Columbia Register with great joy, the
next day announced that the Alliance had
captured the democratic convention; and it
might as truthfully have added, Tillman had
captured Senator Buffers seat in the U. 8.
Senate by eonsenting in caucus to swallow
the sub-treasury aud tho railroad pl.nks in
the Ocala platform.
When thst is accomplished the most i'm
portant aim Of the Shell-Tillman- -Irby Mani
festo will have been secured Tillman and
;l,by in the U. S. Senate, and Shell in the
house, and their honchmen rewarded with
minor Offices.

practices Of the Alliance that creates what
ever Of prejudice there is against the ordsr.
