III anything was needed to make the
South more than ever solid the tim of
Weaver aud Mr.. Maggee's mission tn
Alabama furnished it. On the que stion
of the tariff and the force bill the Do
pie OF the South are of one mind. The
Ihlrd Iarty movement amounts to
nothing in this fight. The Alliance
folks IN the South arc arguing this
way: That as a result of the present,
figh: either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Uar

OF elect'ng third candidate, that be.
tween those two candidates Cleveland
represents them on the tariff and in Cd.
