The Prosperity HolUler learns fror,
reliable sources that the Alliance in
this county only numbers 43 member,
It had over 1, 800 two years ago. If the
Alliance had not gone into politics the
Democratic politicians would not bavs

they can't afford to monkey around
with a party that wants equal rights
to all OF any such nonsense.

the State soon. We hope all true
Democrats and Republicans will pre-.

with rotten eggs at every point. We
once had freedom of speech in this
country, but it didn't pay, and if the
Democracy is successful it must meet
its opponents with very rotten eggs

people that Jefferson was the greatest

The Prosperity HOWleT is a true blue

Senator Vance (our Zeb) has sent
out a long letter which will please the
rainbow chasers, anarchists, commun-
lists, scalawags. etc, with which our
State isinfested immensely. The
Prosperity Ho1Uzer has always been a
warm friend to Vance. For twenty or
thirty years he has been the leader Of
the Democratic party in the State. Up
to the time that party was cap
tured by Wall street and began to ride
in golden chariots, anything Vance
might have said or done would have
been endorsed. But we are for Cleve.

can catch more fish and fish more
complacently while the country goes
to ruin than any man in America. We
suppose that if Vance is going to cling
to old Democratic doctrines and honest
administration, honest money, we will
have to give him up. The Prosperity
Ho1Uler cannot fellowship with him
any longer. He has put himself on
par with leading Populists and nothing
is now left for him to do but sneak
over into their camp. Adieu, Vance.
If you had turned goldbug with your
party we would have honored you, but
as it is you must go with the Populist8.
Adieu!
