Wo tako pleasure in publishing this week Mr. Bowden's oditorial on the necessity of an early con vention and commond it to the serious consideration of tlho reform ilready had Tillman, pronininnt ini its col umne, so its readers are p)reparod to compare the arguments *andl come to a calm and fair under stamding of the whole affair. In one thing they all seem agreed, that the peoplo's will should control and that the ambition (el individuals should not be allowed to disturb the harmony in the Re. form ranks. Being together in that respec1 and all leoking to the good of the movement, it does l ook rea son ab that the friends of reform couli settle their differences wi thon much difficulty. The editor of. the Cotton T" assumes that a conditio" exists and that a" *conlvention is' necessarv cop' suchr col. .&, us, it dloet not 1. .imw that an ear ly con, a is the sole remedy We do not think that Mr. lBowdona although convinced himself, haE interpreted the wishes of the peo. ple and that his early conventioun idea will be adopted by the people of the State. While woe diffeorwithi the Cotton Plant as to the necessity of an ear ly convention arnd are inclined .to Governor Tillmamn's view of hold ing no convdiition, yet the question must 6~e settled in sojrse way and the Cotton Plant has proposed a proceeding to bring the question up for decision. It is a little funny that in all this agitation, that every partici pant throws the responsibility of decidinmg on the people, who seem - to be little concerned about it. The editor of the Cotton Plant in sists on mass meetings in each county, but does not take the au thority to call them himself anid does not Indicate who should as sumne that respontsibility. 4Geing to Tepeks. Cel. D,. P.. Duncan, of this city, 'Secretary of $he National Alliance and J. W.

EDTrroR: I WouN lik to ak any frionds 'a few qestions through the JOURNAL, as it is too dry and cold'to fox hunt. F e11 0 w-oitizens, do you ever think to ask. yourselves, like the drunken Congressman did. "where am I at?"; And how in the d-1 did I get here, and what aiii I to do about it, bow am I to .give satisfaction to conscience and to posterity?" I think these are important ques tions to ask-and why have wo not done so many years ago. In the faco of tho advice of Jackson, Jefforson, Calhoun and Lincoln, we havo voted and whooped for mon as Congressmen who have virtually riveted the chains of sla very on us, by giving the right to issue and coin money as they plonso, and thon squandor it on themselves and a few pets. They givo us a circulation, some four to six dollars por capita to do tlio bilsinems of this groat couiitry oil, and then spond about $8.00 por capita ainually in running the government. it - .' 0-w4 1 yto run the President's office $137.00 por day for is salary oil.

Lot us colio togethier anld try to fix u) Soo anUhswer, if it, is possi blo, that will givo satisfaet-ionI oil this point to the children who are growing tip around us. I do not wisli to discourago any as to tho impossibility of a satisfactory an swor-and hope but fear it will bo nothing bott.or than to make a clean breast of it, and acknowledge wo aro d-d fools. I fool for my solf just a woo bit easy, as I have kickod a little; but must. con fess not enough to givo self satisfac tion. We are curious croaturoS Therm are those who toll us to "gape sinnor and swallow," and we gapo every timo and guliph it down, it matters very little whethor thoiro is oven any bait on the hook. We tax oursolves aliiost to starvation to build railroads for wealthy in dividuals or corporations. What say, overybody, to this pro position? LOt us make a most sol omn vow that wo will not voto for any mani that will not refuse to accop~t the salaries paid to aixny na tional oilicor, not even sign the pe tition of any to h)o appointed, fromn the lowest to the highest. Anid further swear them to work in and out of seasonm for a revolutimn in the finances of the government, and their exp~onditulres. Within ablout fi fty3 years thoe ag ricultural iinterest has doeld from eightyv por cent of thoe of the nation to two cent. At this striko bof' .avs we .- that i hold ing d r that is starv ing 118. 1s ans to mo1 wo ought in and ouit of season, show how~ mengre the yield of crops from hard toil. Remember this, whom you feed a lab~orar and horse, and make 800 bushels of corn $t50,00. You pay, counting out the rent, 100 b.ushls, $170.00 for it. You may thus see what raising the chil. dren to maintain this grand and glorious rep~ublic cost you. A onIIcoLI sT. We Muset Get Togethen, As timo pase and the ambi tions of mon begin to como to the surfaeo, we see the necessity of an early convention of Reformers clearer than ever. As 've havo said before in speaking of this matter, the greatost danger to our cause comes when the ambitions of men clash-and whenm their friends take sides and turn harmo ny into discord. The personality of the men became paramaount to all else and measures are obscured by the exoitement of a personal fight. To prevent all this and to have the will of the people supreme in our State we have urged the call ing of a March convention, in which the people could speak their will--ah~d their voice would be obeyed by all cheerfully. Lettersi received from all parts of the State convince us that we were right in our interpretation of the wishes of our people iad- the roa. them, and al that remains to bi done is for the people to speal their wishes through mass-meet, Ings .n, each county. The only reason given yet againsi holdifig a- preliminary conventio: of Reformers worthy of notice is the one given by Gov. Tillman irn his'interview in the, daily paperE on the 25th instant. Re takes the position that one of our domanda in 1890 was the holding of a State primary in which our people could vote for governor and other State officers, after a campaign in which the candidates diacussed the issues before the people, and that to hold a March or Sprifg convention would bo inconsistent on our part. Others agreo with the Governor in this view. At first blush it looks plautsiblo onough, but those hold ing that ovidently fail to oo the actual situatlioll. We have no direct primary now, and thu people, when voting, caln only voto for dlegates ropresont ing -L candidatto. Take a county v1..delegatos in the State convti ion, Oid supposo thoro w il beo fivO Re-forim candi dates for governor; there Would be just sixty lieorn cii(diitos for delegates.

How does this strike the avor, age Cleveland adoring "high jinks' that went into regal spasms ovo the great defeat of American free. -niens principles in Novomber 1892. The great Hayes' fraud of Return ing Board fame can be retired now, as it sinks into insignificance, \vhen we reflect on tho present ad ministration and its wonderful promises,if only givon a c-h-a-n-c-o. Tho great cry was oh I for a chance, the great wonderful chance has been given, and we are vory sonsi bly conscious of what a chance has done, and we earnestly hope we will bo spared any further such chances in the futuro. Here is the point for Mr. "high jinks"-"mon who dofy all laws, and boliove themselves to bo highor than the law, who oxcito revolt and promoto d isordor are anarch ists."
