who have kicked out of the Alliance
and are hanging around for the prom
Used reward for their treachery to the
Order are strictly 0 partisan"
~ Bradstreet reports fewer failures
for the past few months, but they are
of greater magnitude. Certainly they
are. The little fellows had to go first
and now the big fish are being caught
in the great drag net of financial de-
preston.
~ It makes US tired to see party
organs talking about the opponents
and saying, ooh! they just want
Office. Well, don't all leaders, many
of them at least, in all parties, want
Officer Why don't you bury that old
chestnut
The news from the County Ali
ances so far is very good indeed. Rowan
county shows an increase in member
ship. A correspondent from Wilson
county informs us that every Alliance
in the county was represented at the
county meeting.
- Bro. z. 7. Garrett, of Vance
county, writes the Gillburg Ne1Us that
he has visited eight Alliances recently
and found them prospecting and taking
in new members, and that every dol
lar taken from the Business Agency
fund will be replaced.
~ The New York Standard is a
monthly journal devoted to news of
interest to jewelers. and everybody.
Among the many features are photos of
prominent people and letters from
them about the first watch I ever
owned" The mechanical work of the
paper is very fine.
~ The Chatham Record publishes
over four columns of lands advertised
to be sold for taxes. 1t says some of
the people over there are mad at the
sheriff and paper both for advertising
them. OF course they are. They prob
ably had been led to believe that all
trouble would be over and money
plenty when Cleveland was elected.
~ The political papers are still talk
ing about the recent municipal cleo
tions in the Northwest. They are re
joicing because the Republican, cleaned
up the Democrats, the only municipal
tickets run. The Populists had but
few tickets and they made a good
showing, but it's strange that Demo
cratic papers are rejoicing over Repub-
lican victories.
- The Atlanta Journal says the
leaders of the reform party ARE not
FOOLS" and that it expects very little
aid to the Democratic party from the
men who recently tried to destroy it.
You are right in part of that at least,
and past events Indicate that the PEG
pie may expect but little aid from the
Democratic party, SO we suppose there
is mutual feeling all around.
~ AS an evidence of political lieing
and how easy itcan bedone, dispatch
sent out from Mound City, Kansas,
about the recent city election will fur
nish an example. The dispatch stated
that the calamity howlers' were
beaten out Of sight by the Republicans
and gave the majorities. The truth is
only one ticket was run and there was
no contest between any parties.
~ The Goldsboro Caucasian says:
The legislature failed when it tried to
cripple the Alliance by attempting to
stop lecturing. The brethren all over
the State see the mean and partisan
purpose, 50 they are Offering to pay the
expenses of lecturers. If the legisla-
ture had the power it would probably
have passed a law prohibiting Alliance
papers from circulating through the
mails.
~ Bro. E. A Holt, of New Hill Ali
ance Wake county, was at the county
meeting, Thursday, and having never
contributed anything to the Business
Agency fund heretofore, he planked
down five dollars. That will knock
the bottom out Of any certificate that
mon partisan" Alliancemen may pre-
sent for payment. Bro. Holt has the
pure grit and there are thousands more
like him,
~ Tom Watson says it is reported
that Senators Vest and Voorhees,, of the
Senate Finance Committee, have been
converted over to Ceveland's side of
the question, and that Henry Waiter
son has also made up his mind that
there need be no reconciliation of sill
yer. ..Watterson is the great champion
Of tariff reform, and he don't say any
thing about that nowadays. Where
