BELLAIR, N. @.
Our Alliance has almost disbanded,
and most Of the members seem to have
lost hope of doing anything in the
line Of reform. 1 am looking for re-
form by sticking to the right-not
through parties or patrons. 1 want to
see the farmers united and organized
and all good people standing together.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER has i'm
proved greatly, and I come nearer
reading all in it than any of the eight
papers we take, though l have quit
reading such strong partisan, ~senseless
articles as our Bro. Kestler wrote some
time ago. If someone else had not re-
piled to him, l should. Such articles
do not improve anything, but enjender
strife.
would like to find time to write you
an occasional article from our section.
but am rather too busy digging a living
out of SO acres of land for a family of
eight to find time to write much.
Yours fraternally,

GOOD MEETING IN BEAUFORT.

| Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
I have been waiting to see if some
brother, more competent than myself,
would not give an account of our last
County Alliance meeting, and have
searched diligently each issue Of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER since for same,
and not finding it, l a stand it no
longer.
1, in company with as grand a patriot
as ever lived, Bro John Pate, left his
house on Wednesday before, between
ii and IL o'clock, and drove to Bro. I.
L. Waters, who is our County Presi
dent, a distance of about 40 miles.
Talk about a man prepared for Shy
lock" all his hosts, including the gold
standard, Bro. Watson is that man.
l tell you he lives at home and boards
at the same place, judging from the
looks of his tan trough and the shoes
| of his family. He not only knows how
to tan leather, but to make shoes as
we'll, and his estimable companion
knows fully as well how to make
cloth. Even though it is though in
this country that we can't grow wheat,
Bro. Waters is equal to the emergency,
for he has been raising wheat from
which he has his own flour ground for
sometime.
Right here I'd like to say that some
of us have been talking about the idea
of trying to see if could not make an
arrangement to have some of our cot
ton manufactured on shares, like we
do wool. If any Of the brethren have
ever made any trade of the kind, we
would be glad to know of it, terms, etc.

more than two years, and everything
passed off tremendously, and I'll say
right herere it was the first county
meeting that l ever attended but what
every brother seemed to be in a hurry
to have the meeting closed, but this
time it looked like every brother pres
ent hated to see the time for us to part
As for myself it was a real treat for
me to meet with the brethren all over

Alliance meeting in my life. but what
l felt we'll paid for the time so spent.
cant close without expressing my
happiness yer the action of the State

WHO WILL SECURE The
PRIZE?
Blanchard Will Have a Hard
Fight,
1t is thought That Price Will Receive
the Honor
AMI Represent Louisiana in the W
per House Of Congress.

While the politicIans-th atLs, the
place hunters and those who have
pest to secure positions for-are busy
looking after these affairs, the people
have ceased to think on the State
government and have turned then
attention towards more serious
question nOw-tne election OF Il
United States Senator.
A goodIy number whose prognos-
tications are entitled to respect and
consideration think Senator BlanCh
ards chances exceedingly precarlous,
while the Price stock seems to be
steadily advancing.
OF course Mr.. Prices election
means another gold advocate in the
Senate; and this is something the sill
yer forces should resist till the very
last, and with all their vigor and
force.
By combination of forces this
silver question and geographical sit
uation, the white metal supporters
would have an excellent chance Of
winning with Mr., Blanchard. But
the fact is he made so many enen1e
by his untenable fight against silver
as d State issue, that the silver aivo-
Gates will not unite on him.
Mr.. Blanchard has been credited
with considerable political adrolt-
ness, but The PRoGREss knows of no
man in pnblic life who has made
more political mistakes in the last
two or three years. Not content
with pursuing his own course in this
matter, taking the position that the
silver question belonged Exc u
sively to the domain Of National
politics. he antagonlzed-
purposely- seemed, everyone
who differed from him; and of nearly
all made political enemles-some
transformed into personal enemies;
and of the others few, but what care
very little whether he succeeds or
not, being in fact passive opponents
1t is not the object of this article
to oppose Senator Blanchard, nor do
we feel disposed to say anything in
his favor. The PRoGREss as a silver
advocate would dislike exceedingly
to have a gold monometalllst in the
United States Senate from Loulsl-
ana; but Senator Blanchard has act
ed 80 indiscreetly; was SO intolefant
in the recent campaign for the nomi-
nation of Governor,that 1t might be a
very just rebuke for him to suffer de-
feat.
