Things have already been pushed too
warmly by the candidates. Everett is
clearly the alliance candidate and that
order is largely pledged to him. Glenn

up, and it would be hard for new man
to split the ranks. Besides, the Alliance
would oppose me because I consider
their pet subtreasury scheme ridiculous.

The Federal Election Laws.
Of this egregious infamy, DR.. FELTON,
said:
There is no need whatever for such
a law. There is not man in the south
who cannot vote as he pleases. There
is hardly any doubt, however, about its
passing. But when it passes, it won't
do any harm. The idea of anybody
being counted out in an election is alb.

the fuss that it is creating. Now, il

In that speech, in referring to the AL

spects to that organization in the follow
ing toast:
The Origin of the Alliance.
LET us see the nativity of this new
political party, for it is neither NOR,
nor less. Where were its platform an,
principles originated? Where was i
born? In Georgia! No, sir; in St. Louis
Missouri. Who composed the organiza
ton that formed? They were not al
Democrats; they were not all farmers
they were not all southern men. It wa

and the dark abyss, between the honest
