WHAT WILL THEY 10 NOW,

VIC reprint in another column some res
olutions passed by tho alliance of this coun-
w and which appeared IN the Peoples
journal lust week. These resolutions re-
cite that it Is with much regret und surprise
that they saw the statement that prcsidcn
Donaldson had been blackllstcd by Cover
nor Tiltenan that while it is not their prov
incc to endorse any for political office, they
doem it duty TO defend the good name
and high character Mr.. Donaldson which
had been impcachcd by Governor TiIlman
that Mr.. Donaldson has in every position
OF honor and trust. discharged the duties
imposed upon him with ability aud fidelity,
and to the entire satisfaction of the pub
lic-, .::tav:hcy regard til" statements of Gov
crnor Timan to President cleveland as an
unwarrantcd and gross attack upon Mr.. Don
a'dson, and an unjust reflection upon the
Farmers Alliance of this State.
The Alliance of this county speaks ou,
in no uncertain tone. BY the resolutions
they indicate that they believe in fairness
and freedom. But The real issue confronts
them now. Before it was mere rnnor,
now they have it from Governor Ti.man'S
own hand that the report was tvur ard he
gives his reasons Cor so doinr Mr.. Don.
adson replies and states that the charges
made 10y Governor 1:Ilman ar" grounds less;
that w!sAt he stated conl be proved BY
scores of men and The records The Gov
c. lOr, ns VIC have stated, replied To the
resolutions which we have copied, and il
remains to hr Sc"n what further steps will
Ec taken. What viii the Hilarcc do nbnut
it now? They ca.llot claim that it is 4
surprise to them. Will the Alliance
OF this county luIllcr dcfcnu the good |
name and high Cha,mclrr' of Mr. D,nald. |
son or will they repuoiatc him and thereby
commend Governor Tillman for blacklist
ing hlm? We venture the assertion that
nothing more will ever he done in the ALI
ancc about the matter. If they do not take
aomc action in Mr.. Donndson's defence
they will have to eat their words, for they
declare in the resolutions that Mr. Donald-
son has IN every position OF trust or hon
or, in winch he has been placed by his fcl-
low citizens, discharged the duties impos-
SN "l'''' ii'it WILL stbllhN 'i'l iNltutN, 9liV

They will have to further take back tina,
''thc alleged statements of Gov. Tillm,n to
President cleveland was nn unwurraulcd
aud gross attack upon MIR. Dnna,,'s;u and

county deny il when they sta" that Mir

The alliance has started ont TO defend
Mr.. Donaldson N this matter by auhstan-
italy denying tie "hargc made by Cover.
