ample evidence to convince the most

using your influence and position to
give the party a chance. Yet, when
we met, it was as AlliancenAen, and we
accorded to each other honesty Of pur
pose, but a mistaken judgment. be-
lleve that when you saw your mistake
you would so announce to the public,
and that you and would, in the future,
be together as to the method and party,
as we have always been on principle.
But the developments for the last four
teen months have robbed you of such
an opportunity to show that your de-
Votlon to the principles of Alliance
were above party, while I have been
given that privilege, but sad duty.
Yes, the action of Congress and the
position of Grover Cleveland On the
financial question, have shown that
you were right and was wrong.
Therefore I take this opportunity of
announcing to the public, that as an
Allianceman, who loves right better
than he loves wrong, who loves prin-
clple better than he loves the party of
a lifetime, which now has the name
only, that can no longer affiliate with
the Democratic party. / see no hope
for the people through it, but as an
Allianceman, and as a Jeffersonian
Democrat, shall in the next election
use my vote and influence (whatever it
is) to secure the triumph of these prin-
ciples through the success of the Peo
ple's party. Yours fraternally,
J. J. LONG.

A DEAD LETTER.
EsHTAOL, N. @.

EsHTAoL, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR; Il have been told there
is alaw in this State against trusts,
combines and gambling rings; but as
to it's workings, is it not dead letseri :
That the above-named evils do exist in
this State no one Of intelligence denies,
and carry on their nefarious work
without being caught or punished; in
a word go ''scott free"
Therefore as a catcher to the above
trouble let me suggest the following
as a measure calculated to be barrier
against trusts, etc, to wit: That IN
every instance where the law requires
an oath of qualification to fill place
of honor or trust in the State, that the
candidate be first required to make
oath that he or she does not belong to
any trust, combine or gambling-ring
formed to rob the masses of their right
full earnings, and if the candidate can
not take said test oath in good faith,
then let the law prohibit all such from
holding any Office or place of trust IN
the State. TAR HEEL

Adopted "A Good Dinner.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Cumberland County
Farmers Alliance met in regular meet
ing with Cross Creek Alliance, Jan,
18th, 1894. The day being very rainy
some of the delegates did not get there,
but we had the most pleasant and har-
monious meeting ever attended. After
the regular routine business the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The New York Chamber
of Commerce held meeting last Thurs
day and adopted a resolution unani
mously endorsing the suggestion of
Secretary Carticle that authority be
given him by Congress to issue 5000,
OOo, 600 of gold interest bearing bonds;
and whereas, for Congress to be guilty
ofsuch an act would be a crime against
the working people of the United
States. Therefore
ResOIUed, That the Farmers Alliance
of Cumberland county, assembled tllis
18th day of january, 1894, do enter
our protest against any such law being
passed by Congress. -.
2. That all the Sub Alliances in
Cumberland county be requested to at
once get up petitions as numerously
signed as possible against any further
issuing of gold bonds, forward them.
| to Hon. z B. Vance and Hon. B. y,
Grady.
8. That we request Hon. z B Vance
and Hon. B. f. Grady to use all their
influence to do away with all national
and State banks.
4. That our Secretary be requested
to furnish copy Of our action to Hon.
z. B. Vance and Hon. B. F. Grady,
praying them to use all their influence,
against such a gross injustice to the
people of the United States.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
for publication, also all reform papers
are requested to publish.
The meeting then adjourned and we
were all invited out in the grove to a
table which the good sisters had pre-
pared for us, and it was loaded down.
with all the good things the inner man
could wish for, and among them was
the finest turkey that ever saw. We

WHY NOT REGISTER TODAY?

Today is the second day of registra-
ton, the hours being from a. M. to Up.
m. Inc large enr ollment OF the hrst
day indicates that Democrats are alive
to their duIy. 1t has iaken good many
citizens some time to learn that III order
to vote they must register over again as
often as elections come. Many thou
sands of Democrats have not yet regis
tered. 1t is life duty of every one OF
these not TO put of registering to the
next day of enrolling. The man VINO
puts it Oft today is in danger Of putting
it oil the next time. then of forgetting
it Oh the last day. Every Democrat
must bear it in mind that unless ne
registers on one OF other of the days set
apart by law for registering he cannot
vote. Votes cannot be sworn III as IN
the old time. The remaining days LOT
registration are as follows:

DEMOCRATS DEFY WEATHER
Rain or shine They Meet and
Will Vote.

Rain or shine They Meet and
Will Vote.
1t is source at painful observation
to every Republican in this campaign
that almost all his party meetings exhibit
the obtrusive influence Of dissatisfied
members or independent candidates.
The Democratic meetings. however. are
so united and high-spirited thai it has
become the chief duty Of the chairman
TO repress the excessive applause.
Last night, for instance. the weather
might promote rheumatism, encourage
Sciatica, or foster strange attachment
to the family circle. 1t was favorable
to anything rather than walk ''just
down the street." Yet the members of
the Sixth Ward First District Demo-
cratic club gathered as blithely at Mar
quandt's hall. 123 South Wabasha street,
as if they were already celebrating
Nov. &. Matt Bantz, everywhere
popular, had been called away
TO the Fifth ward, SO Frank
w. Baer obligingly took the
chair. G. W. Ney then said of Kahn:
His peculiar skill as an expert ac-
cOuntant, his absolute integrity - these
are his all-sufficient recommendations.
As is this candidate so are the others.
E. III. O'Rourke next alluded to Dennis
Sullivan-his coercion of voting en-
pioyes at Minnesota Transfer, his un.
warranted discharge of 100 men during
the recent strike. He mentioned Will
lam koch's services as expert county
printer,and the money he had saved the
county. and Kiefer's official statement
that 20 was 15O per cent OF 80. William

after warm welcome, Endorsed the in
come tax, and SAID that he would favor
next winter compulsory arbitration
law and the payment of park assess
mentS by the entire city. John Ii. Ives
referred particularly to the evident and
marked revival of business. and the
tatuous efforts of the opposition press to
conceal the facts. Frank w. Baer and
j. G. Mccarthy spoke briefly, and the
club accepted the invitation to join in
the big rally at the West side opera
house next Thursday night.

e. p. Wade Works 1t Up in the
Interests of Nelson.
A few of the colored people of the
city, with larger number of white Re-
publicans, held political meeting last
night in A. o. Fl. hall, in the market
house. E. P. Wade worked up the
meeting and induced all the Republican
candidates for county offices to turn
out. He had secured. in addi-
ton to himself, several orators
of the Afro. American stripe
and the meeting was a good one from
the standpoint Of the promoters. Louis
Liverpool was the chief shouter in the
applause, and his yelps'of joy at thrusts
of the speakers could be heard for
blocks. John Quincy Adams presided,
and E. P. Wade removed his skull cap
and let loose his oratory in true Afro
American style, winding up with q
series of resolutions declaring unfalter-
ing allegiance to protection and Repub.
lIcanism, and in an invitation to the
erring negroes to get back into the
party of Knute Nelson.
Rev. r. G. Quarles, pastor of the
Pilgrim Baptist church. gave as his
reason for appearing on the stump that
lie thought an ambassador of God would
have more influence than an ordinary
person. He concluded by saying that
it was his first political speech in fifteen
years. He possibly forgot that he has
spoken before in this campaign and also
at the Republican rally at the Auditor
iUm last spring. .

Fourth Ward Banner Club En-

The Fourth Ward Banner Democratic
club held its regular meeting last even
ing at Gray's hall. After the regular
routine business was transacted Witt
K. Cochran, candidate for the legisla-
ture from the Fourth Ward, was intro
duced. lie made vigorous speech in
which he stated that the Fourth ward
needed at this time Democrat to rep
resent it in the legislature The club
responded by indorsing Mr.. Cochran
by rising vote. Next came the in.
dorsing of other candidates. John B.
Pewters took the platform in behalf Of
w. A. Van Slyke for clerk Of the
courts. He said among other things:
"Mr. Van Slyke needs no Endorsement.
However, | will say few words in his
behalf. He. with Pat ORegan, planted
the first apple tree that was ever
planted in st. Paul. That was where
the Ryan hotel now stands. He GER
tainly built up all oar parks. He was

was the father of our general illumina-
tioDs of streets and parks" Mr.. Van

romnared it with the hypocrtical policy
of Hennepin county. but said he be-
lieves that Hennepin county will this
year give Gen. Becker plurality. He
said that from reports he believed the
democratic ticket here will be
triumphantly elected. He spoke
especially of the candidacy of
Anton Miesen, and hoped that he
and George Gerlach would receive the
full support of the Demo III t.. He
wanted to hear that all the POlanders
voted the Democratic ticket on election
day. George Gerlach next addressed
the club in German aud asked the Dem
ocrats TO stick together and not forge.
to vote for Cary l. Warren. The next
speaker was Cary l. Warren, the candi-
date for the state senate. lie addressed
the meeting in a conversational tone and
gave them sensible talk on principles
of the party. He closed with an injunc
lion Iu register to-day and to vote when

RARE SPECIMEN OF MANHOOD
This Remarkable and Worthy
Citizen Talks Briefly on
the Subject.
MR.. MCDONALD WITHDRAWS.
Asks His Friends 10 Vote for
Schurmeier for Repre-
sentative.

Hon. J. Adam Bede. the only United
States marshal in the whole breadth OF
the country who has nerve enough to
resign lucrative office 10 remove any
criticism for standing by friend in the
hour OF political strife, was at his office
in the federal building in this city yes
terday. He looked calm and unper-
tubed. and was in his customary good
humor. When asked about the outlook
for Congressman Baldwin. he said:
sit is good. l believe he will be re-
elected. He is noble man. and has
done much for the people OF his dis
lrict. No other man could have doue
So much. He deserves a re-election.
and the people need him. He can ac-
cOmpliSh more in his next term Tor his
district, as he has experience and will
be better able to direct his energies"
Mr.. Bede was asked to talk about
himself. He said that he did not want
10 be in a position to be charged by the
common enemy with using his Office to
work Tor the election of any man. lie
said that he had lived without the office
of marshal before and he hoped to get
along without it again. lie felt that the
district owes Mr.. Baldwin reelection,
and he wanted to do what work for him
he can on the stump. He had made ap-
pOintments throughout the district to
make speeches and proposes to fill
them. AS he understood the rule of
President Cleveland to mean that office
holders should not take all active part
i'll politics, he did not want to infringe
upon that rul e. He felt it his duty to
work for the party, and he did not want
rule that operated against his exercise
of the highest liberty Of all American
citizen, hence his resignation. Asked
as to his successor. Marshal Bede said
he did not know who it will be. He
alluded to the tact that Col. }. j. Thorn
ton, Senator La Due aid others we're
candidates before. and he presumed
they would be again.
He spoke of the rule laid down by the
president and said he believed it to be
the intention to insist upon its Observ-
ance. He instanced the case of Marshal
Vincent, of West Virginia. an ap-
poinIee of Mr. Cleveland, who was re-
moved a couple OF weeks ago because
of his activity in politics. AS for him.
self, Marshal Bede said he had no de-
sire to leave the way open to crticise
his conduct as an official either by the
administration or its enemies, and he
therefore removed the chance by re-
signing. He left last night to meet his
engagements on the stump.

MET THE CANDIDATES.
SECOND WARD DEMOCRATS
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
A Pleasant Meeting at " hich Per-
sonal Acquaintance Was
the Feature.

The Second ward Democrats held an
enthusiastic meeting at Lucker's hall
last evening which plainly showed that
the ward will remain loyal to the DEM
ocratic party regardless of any Repub-
lican stories to the contrary. William
Golden acted as chairman, and Charles
w. Spiel as secretary.
The first speaker of the evening was
Capt. O'Connor and after reviewing the
state ticket he went all along the line
with the county offices that were NOM
mated at the late convention. His talk
on the candidates was very cleverly put
and from the sympathetic applause
given by the audience it could plainly
be seen that the nominations of the
Democratic party were entirely salts
factory. Shortly before Capt. O'Con-
nor finished several of the candidates
walked in and he yielded the floor to
them.
William Koch. candidate for register
of deeds, was first called On, and he told
the audience that he did not believe
candidates should make long speeches,
but that he desired to become acquainted
with the people individually, aud that
If he could not meet them all this time
he hoped that they would have another
meeting i'll the near future, when he
could go on the floor, instead of the
platform, and form a personal acauaint-
ance with each and every one of them.
Pierce Butler was the next speaker
introduced, and he made IA neat and
complimentary speech On the ticket as
whole. stating that as candidate he did
not think il necessary to pay tribute
either to himself or to those associated
with him on the ticket, and heartily
thanked the audience for the interest
they manifested.
Sheriff Miesen was then loudly called
for, and asked the hearty support of all
present for the entire ticket, and begged
to be excused from further remarks, as
other meetings had to be made.
p. D. Scannell was then called tor by
the audience, and he took the platform
amid applause. This is Mr.. Scannell's
home ward, and he gave a plain and
neighborly talk on the entire county
ticket from top to bottom. He asked a
general support of ali the candidates,
and cautioned that good, hard work
must be done, as the ward was very
close. He spoke in high terms of P. ii.
Kelly's candidacy for the legislature.
and closed with plea for united action
on the part of all Democrats.
Chairman Golden then called atten-
tion to registration for today, and the
meeting adjourned subject TO the call of
the chair.
