The Great Struggle.

There are SIX contests in the
west for United States senator
ships; Wyoming, Nebraska,
Montana, California, Kansas and
Nevada. 1t will be a great strug-
gle in each and every one of
these States, for upon the result
depends the control of the Z. S.
Senate. The Senators who are
certain of seats after the 4th of
March, are as follows:
Democrats, Al; Republicans,
80; Populists, 2 The total num-
Der is SO, so that 45 is a majority.
1t the Democrats secure FORTY
four, they can IN case of a tie,
control the Senate with the vote
Of ce-President Stevenson.
The Republicans must have as
IN order to be independent over
all; and it is certain that they
cannot secure the required num-
Der and the Senate must pass
out of their hands.
The real contest then, as is
conceded at Washington, lies be-
tween the Democrats and Popu-
lists. Ii the Democrats secure the
price in Wyoming, Montana and
California, they will have the
majority in the Senate after the
18th OF March. 1t is not believed
that they can do this and hence
the Populists, if they control in

County Alliance Meetings.


Cumberland County Alliance
met in regular meeting in Fay
etteville, January, 18th, 1893.
Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather there was not a full at
tendance Of the delegates. Our
State President, Marion Butler,
was with us, and made short
but excellent talk. The fol-
lowing preamble and resolution
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The partisan
press, edited by Gideon's Band
and others who wish TO get a
drink out Of the old political
swill tub, have lied on, and are
still trying to traduce our no
BILE and beloved president, Ma
rion Butler, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Cumberland
County Alliance now in session
this, the second Thursday in
January, 1893, sends greeting
to Brother Butler, that he and
the public generally may know
that we have unbounded CONT
dence in his honor, courage and
craftsmanship.
RESOLVED, That should he
stand as firm on and defend our
Alliance demands in the future
as uobly as he has in the past,
we will stand by and defend
him and yet place him in the
highest position in the gift of
the Alliance and Industrial I'm

Have the People been Deceived?

The miserable deception
practiced by the two old parties
in regard to their status on the
free coinage Of silver is now
apparent to all. That both par
ties lied as to their true posi-
ton on that question in both
platforms there is now no rea-
son for doubt. Had they come
out squarely against free coin
age, and demanded, as they do
now, it's complete demonetiza-
ton, Weaver would have been

people have been basely deceiv-
ed, and will demand reprisals

Is it Possible?

The Democratic party, if it
desired to give the people re-
lief, cannot, dare not do so. 1t
is as much the tool of the mon
ey lords and monopolists as is
the Republican machine. Plu-
tocracy had little OF no choice
after the platform was made
and candidates named at Min
neapolis and Chicago. Success
for either meant continuation
Of the government by the shy
locks. There isn't a shadow Of
a prospect of legislation for the
relief of the over burdened peo-
pie, and they must turn to the
party which is made out of
their own ranks and is free from
the influence of the robber bar

DUPLTN COUNT.

MAGNoLIA, n. c., Jan. Is, '93.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It was our priv
ilege to attend the meeting of
the Duplin county Alliance
which was held at Carr's school
house on the 18th inst.
The attendance was very good
although the weather was bitter
cold, and many had to ride
from ID to % miles through
sleet and snow to get there.
The meeting was very har
monious, members Of both po-
litical parties being present,
politics were ignored and the
principles of the Alliance were
fully discussed, also the best
mode of keeping our demands
before the people. 1t was adj
vised that we pursuade our
friends that do not read reform
literature to do SO by all means,
that they may see both sides of
the question, and be able TO
form d just and unbiased opin-
ion as to whether our princl-
piles are right or wrong.
A sumptuous dinner was fur
nished by the ladies Of the
neighborhood; not only did the
members of the Alliance help.
but also some OF the height ors
who had no connection at all
came out with we'll filed bas-
kets. The evening was spent in
open Alliance, so as to give out
siders and friends admittance.
We were delighted to see
many ladies out who are very
conspicuous by their absence at
our county meetings held at the
court house. Another topic of
discussion for the evening was
the ACCESSIBILITY Of rotating the
county meetings among the diff
ferent Subs.
1t was decided to do SO. as it
encouraged the attendance of
the lady members. The great
est objection was that a goodly
number of the meeting houses
of the lodges are too small to
accommodate the delegates and
visiting members.

BURKE COUNTY.

Burke Bounty Alliance met
at II o'clock NJ. on Thursday,
January, 18th, 1893, at the court
house in Morganton. Pres. f..
H. Tilley called the delegates
TO order. Prayer was offered
by r. A. Cobb. All the Sub
Alliances were represented ex-
cept three, and these were alb
sent on account of the inclem-
ency Of the weather and the
great distance to travel.
Under the head of new bust
ness, r. A.Cobb offered the fol-
lowing resolution, adopted.
RESOLVED, That we the dele

were made that there were at
least thirty men, members of
the Alliance, in each county
in the State who belonged to an
organization known as "Gid-
cons Band,' which we cOnsid-
er detrimental to good Govern
ment. We therefore ask the
cooperation Of all good citi-
Zens, whether Alliancemen or
not in ferreting out these
charges, and if they can be
established, the members so
implicated will be expelled
from the order.
RESOLVED, Further that il
no proof can be established OF
the guilt of any member we
shall then regard these charges
as unfounded, uncharitable anc
only done to njure our noble
order.
Resolution was offered BY
Bro. Hill and adopted, askins
our member of Legislature
Mr.. Huffman to cast his vot,
to either repeal the presen
Homestead law, or greatly re
duce the amount to person
applying for the benefit of tn
Homestead.

mind always alert for the best inter-
esst of the city in any capacity where
he could be of use to the city; in the

there is something like alteration for

nest and honest men, because his
whole life justifies such a demand on

What a shallow argument is that in

he should be mayor. How does the
editor know that E'at the same time he
has been one of the best of neighbors
and that his life in this city has been

the Tribune to speak for him, and
youch for all his actions during his
residence in this city. What does it

antee a clear record in everything he
has done2 VIII it assume to defend his
every action? Can it say his every act
has been for the best interests of all
the citizens? Will it defend his course
in taking to his private use public
property? Can it maintain his right to
fence in the public sidewalk on J street,
and why the matter was arranged in
the Liberal city council of go, SO that
no action was taken after the former
council had found no law to justify
the take, and ordered the same obnox-
ious fence removed?
Many street people ask how it is
that Mr.. Conklin, who aspires to be the
foremost man in the city, can justify
his act complained of, except with an
expectation of some ultimate reward
accruing to him by holding city prop
erty in OPPOSITION to justice to neigh
bors on street and order of city coun-
Gil on record?
The files of The Herald and Tribune
prove order of council and Mr.. Conk-
Inns acts, demonstrate contempt there
of. Another question: viii Mr. Conl-
lin, if elected mayor, further spike the
wheels of progress on J street by con-
tinuing the maSterful act of knowing

that fence and set the examule of
honoring the law that he seeks the suf-
frage of the people to administer? Very

Floods Of bogus tickets have been

into the hands of The Herald yester-

ION are all the Liberal city nominees.
Bogus ticket number two is headed
DEMOCRATIC TICKET, contains the
regular Democratic legislative nomi-
nees at the top. and the Liberal city
nominees at the bottom. Bogus ticket
number three is a Democratic-Citizens
ticket straight with every name cor
rect except those OF Burton and Pratt.
These are. of course, filed by those Of
Duke and Ewing. There are a number
of others in the field, and every COM
bination possible will be worked to
deceive those whose eyesight is bad,
or who are in a hurry. Still another
dodge is to print the Republican and
Democratic Citizens ticket correct in
every instance, but to print it on col
ored paper, which is in conflict with
the law.
