noise under It, looked and saw his dog
tied to a pillar, starved to a shadow, too
weak to bark and jii*t strong enough to

the foreman came up. Mr. Cavender
reproached him, probably with strong
Knglish adjectives and participles.
The negro listened in silence, scratch

other, until Mr. Cavender was out of

taking investigation led us to the con
clusion and couviettop that our path
oF-mider-
stonding although it might be, difficult
of performance. Tiie course of .event*
has shown that there are many allure
ment* and influence* to draw or drive
us from the straight and narrow way
prescribed Tor un* but loyalty to tiie
constitution and principles of the order
will not be, in our judgment, consistent
with any departure from or disregard
of the directions that those guides have
laid down for qui go vein meal apd its
good. They are the supreme law from
w hich there is no appeal and to which
there must be an unquestioning obedi
ence. *
The Alliance has gone before the
world w ith the open profession that itis
purely an agricultural and strictly a
non partisan organization. With that
ap|>eal as iu introduction it has gath
ered a mightier membership than any
previous agricultural organization has
ever mustered into ranks. The con
cord of the elbow touch has kept the
long, unbroken line in safe and steady
march forward, from tiie Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the great lakes to the
gulf. One heart beats in all this mul
titude and there are no faint souls in
all its legions.
We have conclnded, therefore, that
the Alliance is and should be sacred
from the intrusion of politicians. Its
councils should be kept free from all
entangling copartnerships that the pur
pose* of its existence may be ever kept
la view' and straight ahead. If we
were the most ardent advoeate in the
State of (’apt. Tillman’s candidacy we
would feel that we had been untrue to
tiie trust that has been reposed in us if
wo ware to say h eiv aught in his. favor;
Tfwre’w'ere' Mi bitterest opponent otir
eonsoience as a mouthpiece of the Alli
ance would not perniit us to pen here a
syllable against him.
Our construction of the spirit, word
ing and meaning of the constitution
and principles of the Alliance is in per
fect han'nony an<L. agreement with the
interpretations of its chief ©Ulcers.

be doubted whether in every, sense
such a result could properly be regard

at least a wide outlook, as far as their
field of vision reached. They believed
