Hon. Thos. Walaon speaking In
Jefferson County, Ga., of the kinBhip
of democracy and republicanism said:
I believe in my soul that both our
present parties are dominated by the
money power. The gold bug policy is
as offensive to men when It comes from
Cleveland as when It comes from Win
dom. The corruption of a , crowd like
Tammany is as offensive as' Dudley
with his blocks of Ave. I have not the
slightest doubt that Calvin lirloe is as
corrupt as Matthew Quay. Ne.w York
is a commercial aud financial center.
It has no interest In common with us.
We are au agricultural people. We
skould seek our political alliance in the
West, whose people are agricultural as
we are, and whose interests are identi
cal with ours. Wo should stand by
0
our principles, and if the democratic
leaders wish to disrupt the party by
driving ns out they will have tho name
of democracy, while we still preserve
Its principles; they will have the soap
gourd, we will have the soap; they will
have the casket, wo will have the lu
minous gems which alone give In val
ue. Thep will be on the side of death
and the grave and have the body. Ours
will de thesgirit which breaks through
all cerement and sepulchre aud takes
ou the immortality which truth and
the right can proudly claim, Loud
aud long applause.
It is no time for the laggard or the
dastard. Fence straddlers need not
apply. We want straight goods and
straight men to handle them Laugh

The work to which the Farmers
Alliance has set itself the better
ing of the laboring classes, intel
lectually and financially ought to
catch the sympathy and respect of
every man who loves his country.
Their success means harm to no
legitimate business. They may
fail to accomplish all that was the
purpose the Alliance should bring
about, because of the riding inclina
tion of office hunters in their midst,
but they will do a great work Who
