SATURDAY., the 22nd inst, was time
of rejoicing in the quiet nelghoor-
hood of Spanish Grove, Forsyth. The

with a smile. and the Financial de

festive and hungry calamity man
gathered himself up close to we'll

destinations as to the number pres
cnt range from 1000 to loo. Inc
Pfafftown String Band entertained
portion of this number while await
ing the speaking.
After an introduction by Josh ket-
ner, President Butler arose and, by
way of tribute to the feminine pOr-
tion of the audience, noted their in
terest in patriotic movements and
their devotion to private and natlonal
duties. The subject of Alliance de-
mands and the evils they are intended
to remedy. he said, had become too IA
miliar to require so much attention
on an occasion like this as formerly.
Giving as the basis of wealth, land,
labor (populatiOn( and capital, he
presented fOrcible contrast between
nine Southern States and Massachu-
sets These three factors considered

States mentioned: shows that this
means SD times the wealth of the
New England State; but while we've
made it, they've accumulated it.
Why? The difference between max
ing and accommodating. Root of the
matter, legislation. One industry is
clans call it the Tariff. The great
highways of commerce are in the
hands of a few private individuals,
resulting, by bleeding the people, in
power to corrupt the Legislature. The

Mr.. Butler senSibly says that a man
may be politically wrong honestly:
that a partisan is one who will stick
to his party regardless of principle:
not the man who will stick to his
principle, whether his party does or
not. Every political party controlled
to a greater or less extent, by pOliti-
clans: the Third Party no exception;
hasn't so many at present but they
are coming; only needs time for breed
ing: urges the people to study and
reason for themselves, ard shows the
advantages OF organization.
Aside from the general tenor of the
speech, Mr.. Butler made many neat
little ''hits." His comment on his
nickname was complimentary to
''Miss Mary Ann" and that lady had
occasion to reflect upon the good for
tune Sprinkled in spots among the vi
cisSitGdeS of life.
His remarks upon organization, the
benefits of social intercourse and in
tellectual friction will be appreciated.
Concluding. he advised a wise use of
talent and opportunity, as God in
tended-not for madness, but for rea-
son and the truth. Abuse not those
who differ from US; carry out the di-
vine law by putting our heart next
our neighbOr's heart, our head next
our neighbours head. Truth and JUS
tice must prevail. The Alliance is on
a solid foundation, building with sol
id material: it is stronger than it was
twelve months ago
Mr.. Butler cOngratulateS Demo
Gratis. Republicans, Third Partyites,
and other patriots that a political
party has charge Of every branch of
the government-divis no longer
an excuse. Says if the Democratic
party fulffls its promises he will throw
up his hat and say well done. If that
party fails in its duty, it will be wiped
out by party that will stand by the
people and give them justice.
Take courage. Let US press, on and
do our duty, and | believe providence
will bless our efforts.
