Elli-lt, reso'utions were adopted whereby the action of the-Alliance in the selection of the Lancaster Review as the county A liancc organ was rescinded and the support of the Alliance withdrawn from the said newspaper; and wherets, iu the judgment of this sub-Alliance such action on the part of the raid uvctil'g mu 111 I OH iy Ill-till T1SCU DUl WllOliy i unwarranted and indefensible.

Letter to Lancaster Review.? 1 iiouccd in today's paper that the Review comments o? the action of the county Alliance in toward to r.sc:ndiug the resolution making the Review the oigan of the county Alliance. ' Ihe county Alliance had the right to resciud I any rest lution previously passed. ptovideil, | always, said icso'ution or tcso'utions were rcscin led in the interest of the organization ' and for the protection of the prii ciplci t?f its written c ust'tution. lint when we read the preamble giving rcisot.s for the tevolutions tlu-inse ves, we arc fined to tlic con i c usieu that tne whole matter had its birth ( in tte ranks of n political parly. A party .. Atitniiceniiiirc hi. if ho thinks it to .he interest of his party and the SaH\ ally liitnsc f Willi, or i ot. just as his mind dictates to him. And on the other hand lie is perfectly t free to cxetcisa his constitutional 1 berty , against any polit'c -! j... j ; :i i rcina n a round Al.iniicenian. lie lias thi* tight ' guaranteed to iiiui before he beeomi s a member of the order. Now, if my position is rigm, then the county Alliance violated iis const tution by ilea ing with the coun*y organ .simply beeiuse its eilitor saw til to criticise the action of the State Legislature. 1 This is a piivi'cge tinit be'ongs to every i rann, anil certainly the Alliance would not \ want an editor who would wink at all the ( cvi? in ill s order or anywhere else and only give us the bright side of everything. Let ' ft us have a in.in that has independence of clia'acicr i Hough to give us both sides, cutting off by honost criticism every false I j plmiicxi(i the demagogue's cloak. This is < , ttie only way we can get at the bottom of ] fuels, the only way we as AUianeemeu can defend our principles, at d maintain our 1 organization upon llio high grounds upon which it started out. Free speech and a free press ate the two gnrit agencies by wbicli we have sustained one t the grandest republics that exists on lite gl Now as an AUiaocemnn I believe with proper forethought and strictly adhering to our princi pits we could be a great factor in the elevation of the great iiin*s of laborers, but when ' we go into any political party we then divide i ourselves and lose the only chance we have \ j I of carrying out our demands. In uiy opinion wc should stand firm on the measures that are nearest our interests as farmers, work through (tin Uemocin'ic party ami i work for true reform, and put our cause in j the hands of the very best men we can get.

Ih'paanrj Grip Diignoud To Editor Union Times:?When I heard tint you hud (he "grip" 1 wondered to myself if it was of the "Dispensary Kind/' j, and whether it was a "severe cue of Dis- ? pentary grip;" rod then I made up my j, mind to t?y my level best to be sorry, in ? case it should prove to be such, for you | ?, know the poet sa*?, "z, .V.vn ?*< ?,' <* makes us wondrous kiud," Dut then I will ask you 0 ilie symptoms, and we can tell whether yours n is the kind of "grip" above referred to. j Did it lake you in the back of the bead, in ( the neck, in the throat, in ihe lungs, in the e lens, in back, along tho alimentary canal, ? and ihrow you around until you were hot c wi'h a fever? If so, then you hid tho j, "Dispensary grip." just as 1 n<-w remember ? it ; and 1 inn truly aorry to hear it; and \ don't mean nny reflections or insinuations when 1 say it. Respectfully, j G.

Mr. llfeid and hi* lieutenants kept up an harrassing warfa* e and seized every; opportunity to embirrnss the Democrats and b> incite the dissatisfied members of the party to o| en rerolt. Sarcasm and severest personalities were indulged in. The gauntlet would so ireely be thrown down before it was eagerly grasped by the other side. Crimination and recrimination, taunts and threMs, lachrymose entreaty and emotional protest were hurlei one after the other an suited the mood of the speaker. Late iu the afternoon ike burly form of ine guieu orator ana oru ism statesman from Iko Empire state emerged from the crowd in rear of the desks and citue down one of tho Eastern aisles to take part in the scramble of lickato.

It was evident that his party felt that their leader, Mr. Reed, 1 would overmatch the young New Yorker. With all the irony and sarcasm that he could muster he sailed iuto Mr. Cockrnn. But his foe proved worthy of his steel and in his 1 reply demolished the fine spuu theories of I Mr. Reed aud turned all of his severe irony and bitter sarcasms fell upon him, while the ' Democrats on the tloor and in the galleries went wild with delight.
