Hv wats cordially reoeived by tho alliaicoiol, and lis constituoney paid him much attontion, and were evidently proud ot him and his course in Congress. He-1c began his speech by express ing his pleasure of mooting his old friends and brothers of the alli anco. He told them that he lihad no good nows to bring them, that outlook was as gloomy, and oven moro gloomy than ever. That fact. had a tendoncy to discourage the alliancemen, and ihere was i dis position to throw up tho sponge i because no rehof camo. He said that he did not go into tho alli anco for office, that ho did not ox poet to go to Congress, and did not seek the place; that the Latimer. did not seek oflico and that he was the only ono, who held any. Tlit ho stood to every principlo he ever advocated and that he believed in the organization of the alliance, and in a very oloquent mannor ho impressod his audienco with the importanceo and even necessity of preserving their organization and continuing the fight for the prin ciplos dearost. to their iearts. He Said that- in Wash i ngton he11 was pushdie aside, because he rep reslnte(d tho ConnnllIoln peop1lpo in Washington. That lie had been told, that ho, Tillman aid other leaders had started the rock down the mountailn, that would crush thOe life out the Stat1o an1d that such men would bring ruin onl the na tion.

H said that the farmers must keo planting, although crops do nt bring good p~ricos, and so it wasi polities, they must keep attondir their meetings and must keep a ganized, and combine and fight. ti trusts. Nine-tenths of the di tress in the country could be trai ed to corporations, He discussed National banl and showed the evils of speci class legislation, saying that in tenths of the millionaires we made so by legislation. He sa that America should be for i Americans and let England trad alone, if it could not be securo with less sacrifice than at presen [fe outlined the bill, ho intend to introduco in Congress, for th relief of the p)001le, which wil especially provide for an increas in the volume of currency.

He said that the rules ivero many and dif ficult, and House very cruel, every body being regarded with suspi cion. That lie had voted only for the interest of the people, but they denounced him as a populist, an archist. Still it is reported in Washm'igton that nine-tenths of the lawyers in Congress draw lar ger salaries from the corporation they represent than they do from~ the gnverrnent That he ann spot every corporatiou lawyer 1 SCongress by their diligenco for cor poratiol legislation.
