Tillman towards the sub treasury


Ben Ti!lmau," he said, sis because
they know and believe that be is work
ing to accomplish the same results as
weare through the hesub-treasury scheme.
The sub-treasury or something better
is merely Il suggestion on the part OF
the Alliance. Governor Tillman is
honest and sincere in desiring to sc.
cure the same results as it does. They
believe, therefore, that be and all other
Alliance men will, when elected, con-
salt 70 secure that end. The sub-treas-
ury ought never to have been made a
demand. 1t was intended as an illus
tration of how demand could be car
ried out; if, however, there is better
plan no one will hesitate to accept it. D."
A NEW PARTY FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
Then Mr.. Butler was asked whether
the Alliance was getting ready for the
Presidential election in 1895. He said
that this work ought to be taken up
now, but that it could hardly be done
till the coming elections were over.
He went on to say that "all the sections
whose predominant interests are the
production Of wealth have interests
that are diametrically opposed TO a
small class of monopolists and specula-
tors in the North and East. They will
never get condition that is just to
them-I do not mean class legislation
until they can have influence in the
national affairs of our Government,
and that can never come through an
administration that is nominated by
the Republican or Democratic party as
now constituted, because the class
interests that now dominate have con-
troll of the machinery Of both OF these
organizations. This condition is soon
going to force new alignmet Of parties
and it seems to me that all patriotic
people ought to do all that they can to
see it come about as soon as possible.
This result will have to come about by
the solid South and West and ali those
whose interests are common with them
in uniting in nominating and electing
the administrative officers of the Gov
ernment.
| "What I would like to see come
about is that a National convention be
called representing the interests have
named and made up of Democrats--"ith
due Difference to the News and Courier
and the Peoples party from the
West, and those from the North who
want to join, nominating a Preslden-
tial candidate and electing him, The
Peoples party out West is nothing
more than a party of converted Demo-
Gratis, but who, on account, Of their
prejudice against that name, will not
admit 1t, but they are as good Demo-
Gratis as the Jefersonian Democrats of
the South. The real Democrats of the
South and the Populists Of the West
have the same principles, while the so
called Democrats Of the Western States
are nothing more than gold bug Demo-
Gratis, and have never yet done any
thing to elect Democratic President.
These Western Populists, or Jeffer-
sonian Democrats, will not 60 into a
Democratic convention with that name,
bat if a. convention Of the American
party, OF the Jeffersonian Democracy,
were called they would combine with
the Democrats of the South to nomi-
nate and elect President.
II would like to see this combination
effected in time for the campaign of
1896, but if is is not done by that time
it is simply a matter OF few years be-
fore it will be done, and when the COM
hination is effected The News and
Courier will support the nominee or it
will be swept from its feet. L feel
that The News and Courier wants to
keep in line with the people,"
