Viee-Freo deut l*i itohnr I presidtd over the meeting, which was held with clo?el doors aa matters of a nature private to the Alliance were discussed. Afterward, tbe World-Budget oorr spoodent obtained firotn the Secretary. the following i^onnt ormfr^Ut^U'uUti^Ue^ [J tU'T public. Vice-President Pri chard iolr >duced Benator D?uaMson of Grvcnvill-, theratoager of the State Altinuoe Exchange, in a abort acd extremely cotnp imerUnry speech. He s-iid that perhaps no one stood higher in the esteem and confidence of the Ail nnce i f South Carolina than Scant r D .nul Iron, an I praised his self-sacrifioiuj devotion not only to the Allianse proper, but to nil inon u*e.i of teferm looking to the bit crmcut of the ngri I lie Ft !? during the pa-t fifccn yiars, *nil si*ted that it was n recognition of this and as <ui ev dence ?f confluence I lint he hid I cen placid in position* of honor and trvi-t by his fellow citizens. Mr nvcred that ns an Alliance e|c:tktr, he ranked among the foreimstin the Sla'c uud wis second, not even to Terrel'. Col. Donalds in made an eminently wise and conservative speech, of winch the following is a synop is : "Though somewhat oppvo-s-. d by (he co up imenlary teiins in which the | resident of the nieiting introduc-d u.e, 1 wd' endevv r to use the time allotted nte in oiscui-stng the - tiu?iitwt or unw-avwMtTT; "or* cwxrrgTmizn t'on." lie gave, in his opening retnnrlis a short ketch of the origin and progrcB* of the order. "Like Elijah's cloud it was at fiist small as a man's hand, hut it gatlnred volume nod momentum in its onward progri?s until now it has developed into the mo t wonderful organization in histo-y? im nensely potential in its influence for good to its members. "it is not an invention gotten up by some fr .i ful mind hut it was born of necessity. Tlie organization of other classes intende I for beneGt to themselves had grown so in magnitude, that the intcrc-t of the agriculturalist classes hod driven them in sheer selfproteciioii, to organize ulmost sitr.it tuneonsly fro it one extreme to the other of this great Cou itry for mutual benefit. "When we consider the physical diflicultie < i ttendant upon the orgairzation ol f-irme s as compared with the facilities with wit ch other classes, merchants ami professional men, could organize, it appears almost a miracle. The Partners scattered all over the country, each wa his own fartr, abs >rb? I with the prosecution of his labors and with little time for rcadiog and mental impr ivemeot, cante together with one accord, and now present a compact body, practically < irresistible solongnsj^ pg1,,., ^ litioT'lWa. >TOtT Many inembera of the orde-, it isn^ie fiared, united with it without comprehending the ptitue necessity of individual effort as a factor in the struggle for general success. They seemed to think l that nil that was necessary was to become a L member of this grand order and then some & grout' g mil would come to tlicm without fur-her effort or cost to themselves. This feeling is not peculiar to the Alliance, it may ba observed in other organizations, even the Just here let me impress upon you the absolute necessity of each and every member of the sub-alliances realizing that upon them indi vidua'ly devolves the work. No one else can do it for you. The foundation of your duty is attendance upon each and W every meeting. Keep thoroughly posted on ^ the wotka of the order. Your duty is to cintribute your influence, whatever time is iinAi?M? ftf IhA xrnrlr ftf A lllanrn The Alliance has four grand features o cardinal principles?the advancement of it membership morally, socially educational], and financially. While I yield to ns meuibe of the order in appreciation of the value c mouil and social helps to l?e derived fron tbe order, I will not take the time to discus them and will devote the time allotted me t the other two, the educational and financin features. "Education is necessary for the success ful accomplishment, of financial reforms, llj the term education, 1 do not mean to spcnl of it in thecommon acceptation of ihc words for when 1 look into your faces 1 realize tba you and 1 cannot he schoolboys any more The education that wc speak of in this con nection must he of aa intensely practice character. It is not so much books that wi are to study ; but men and things and thi signs of our times, ns they relate to snd uft'ec our peculiar business. By this education we hope fir.?t to over coene and eradicate blind and unrensooinj prejudice in our ranks. We have ben *? ...

It is higt time tint we cease our grumbling no fruitless complaint and emu'ate the exam pi of other classes of fellow citizens by attend ing lo our own business and intelligent'; looki.ig after our interests, as they are doinp "It will be well for us to slop and thin for n moment that if placed in their position we would do just as they do. "We must read and devote more of ou 4itne lo a careful investigation ? f the grer problems, financial, political, and of othe kinds, that affect our business and welfare bein; always willing to accord to others tin privii.ea of protection anil advancement o their interests that we would have then acccrd to us.

The i delegates to tha convention are almost to a I man in fator of the aub-treasury} having t I been < lected with singular unanimity mnioWdjj because they were uncompromising adeoaMVpl of that roheme, consequently, while Terrell I will be received and heard wi>h unanimous enlorsement, Tillman may expect to be I received with a chilling coldness, plainly I showing thst he has not owts among ail bis ! henrcrs in sympathy with him, and telling i him Ihnt the verdict had a'resdy been recorded aganst him. It wns generally expected, evrn among I A1 iancemen, that the discussion would be in I public,- and the People's Advocate, a prominet.t Alliance organ, published at Anderson. J denies the report in the AVtr* and Courier that it would be in secret in the following striking language: "The AW* mid Courier has found a mare's nest with a great big egg in it, in its wonderful d'sc very that some of the alliance men wh ndvocnte the siib-trea?ury plan are die- 1 pose 1 to shut off debate on the matter by 1 shutting Terrell aod Tillman into a room with uobidy present but those who hare the password.

On the contrary we wnnt the fullest 'discussion under the hrnndet-t kind cf light, nnd let everybody understand the arguments fur nnd against, nnd if Gov mor Tillman or any other man can show tint the sub-treasury soherae is impracticable, mi who nnd dangerous, no men will be quicker to drop i'. than the alliy^ ancc men." /* But, tak n in connccti >n with the stat mcnt of n prominent. Allinncemtn, thnt Ti ft> ' man will confess his conversion to the tttC- 1 treasury doctr ne, in throe wetks from now, wo shall n t Ic surprised if tht Greenville AW# | roves to be a pretty good prophet in the following presentiment : We hope the Advocate will slick to nnd repeat its demands for free speech. The dienission as at picsent promised will amount t? nothing except to give Brother Tillman the opportunity to confess himself vanquished. prof<sa c inversion under the arguments of Brother Terrell and meekly take his place ou the mourner's bench to be the servant and to -1 of men who have not a tenth of his jj.ijnr)lcflu?l 1 <nrgr-or-fatcc.

The disctiKs'on before the State alliance will be, as ' Mr. Townes, of Edgfield remarked, before a "packed jury." It looks very much that way to our limited vUI.it> and we cannot seo how even the ' rank nnd file of the Alliance can receive any honest instruction from the discussion, when ' it is only held before n select few, and the minds of those few educated to sea and believe only one si-le of the question. To us it ' is another cii-hneo of the arbitrary ruling cf Alliance leadrrs to keep the average ntembcrsbip of the Older subservient to their dictation.
