Not a Political Order-
A Cusetta correspondent of Tnc
Macon Telegraph speaks ol the dis
satislaclion prevailing in Chattahoo
chee county because ol the policy ol
the Farmers’ Alliance in forcing nomi
nations for members of the General
Assembly. He says:
There are a great many of the best
Allianccmcn who refuse to pledge al
legiance to the Alliance as a political
parly and declare their intention to
cast their ballots for whom they deem
the most competent and worthy demo
crat in the race. In other words, they
refuse to abandon the democratic
party. Some of the best allianccmcn
declare their intention to quit its ranks
and cling to the party that has so long
blessed their homes and firesides,
while others who indorse it as an order
refuse their support to it as a political
party.
As an order we cannot say too
much lor the Farmers’ Alliance. The
Chronicle has repeatedly stated that
the power of such an organization for
improving the farmers, socially and
industrially, cannot be too highly com
mended. But the Alliance as a politi
cal body will never be regarded with
favor. It is the organ of a special in
terest. Its decrees must necessarily
be the legislation of a class. Its meet
ings arc prirate. Its ritual secret.
Its political work must be in the
nature ol a caucus from which the
public is excluded, and its candidates
are selected, mainly, Irom their own
ranks. There is no freedom in such
selection. A large part of the demo
cratic party is barred Irom a voice in
this kind of nomination and the choice
is restricted to a secret band, held to
gether by oath-bound decrees. Such
proceeding is repugnant to demo
cratic principles.—Augusta Chronicle,
Georgia Leads.
The News says : Georgia not only-
heads the south in railroad building
this year, but the whole United States.
Georgia has built 183 miles, North
Carolina comes next with 164 miles
and Tennessee follows with 149 miles.
Compared with the progress in rail
road construction in the west and
northwest the contrast is very striking.
California built only one mile. Minne-
soto two, South Dakota one, Utah
two, Ohio seven and Wisconsin six
teen. The total mileage of railroads
constructod in the country this year is
1898, and of this total the south lias
built 1,114 miles. It is a solid south,
indeed—solid in progress and indus
trial and business growth.
Opposes the Action of the Albany
Alliance Convention.
Mr. Watson, ol Dougherty, a promi
nent allianccman, is opposed to the
order going into politics. A dispatch
to the Constitution, says:
Mr. W. O. Watson, president of
the Albany sub-alliance, who was nom
inated by (he alliance as a candi
date for the legislature from Dough
erty county, was so greatly opposed to
this action ol the alliance in entering
thus actively into politics and for oilier
reasons, that lie has withdrawn his
candidacy, leaving W. E. Wooten the
only candidate in the field at present.
Hurrah for Watson.
The stockholders ol the Melon Ex
change meet in Albany next Thursday
to examine into the conditi .-n ol the
affairs 0! the company. A full and
interesting meeting is expected.—

4’ ance.
Rditorf Times-Rnteiii'iiisk
I have noticed a great many squibs
in the Georgia papers recently, which
have been intended ns flings nt the
Alliance. So much has been written
about us, tlint is unfair, that it is
hard to keep from writing a little,
under these unjust imputations.
It is charged that we arc dabbling
in politics. Well, the truth is, we
are not dabbling, hut we have waded
in deep, and are going lo slosh around
generally this summer. This is very
alarming to would be office holders
their special friends and champions,
with much anxious concern and
thankful solicitude, for our snfety,
have advised us ti beware, lest
we fall and break our necks. Upon
all actions, subjects and business prop
ositions they arc silent and supremely
indifferent. Wo arc thankful that
our outside friends are concerned
about us, even in this particular.
Now as to the situation in this
county.
It is said, that wc arc greedy and
exacting, that wc want it nil.
Well, gentlemen, we’ve had noth
ing tor a longtime and is it to be
wondered at, that we arc thirsty and
hungry’ for office—If you will let us
linvc a gorge of the salaries and glory
of the offices for a short season, we’ll
staud back and divide later ou.
We have presented to you the
names of certain gcntlemcnt whom
wc desire to sec elected. This we did
of our own accord, and not because
they asked it of us; but wc are will
ing to trust to their integrity, patriot
ism and ability to faithfully repre
sent the county in the legislature.
We arc not demanding their election,
but in humble form, and manner,
simply nsking that they receive the
democratic nomination, and we’ll see
to it that the hordes of black repub
licans in this county do not interfere
with the ; r election in Ootobcr. We
nrc not going to interfere with dem
ocratic success, and endanger white
suprcniocy. This is n vital question,
and in the future as in the post, the
democratic farmers of the comity
will he found doing their whole duty
in a manly and patriotic way.
Now as to tho situation on the
other side. The town of Thomasvillc
hrs had a full quota of candidates in
the field for legislative honors. Two
for the houses, and cue for the senate.
Two of these gentlemen linvc retired
for reasons best known to themselves.
While the situation was in this shape,
you heard no complaints nor objec
tions from allianccmcn. They con
cede the right to every man to run
for office. There was no complaints
against town for wanting everything,
but everybody was in a good humor,
and ready for a friendly tussle on the
25th inst.
Away then with the idea that we
nre going to interfere with the demo
cratic party. So far ns the writer is
concerned, whenever the alliance
does, or even contemplates doing any
thin to jeopardize the success of the
democratic party in this county, we
would not hesitate to withdraw from
the order ; and I can count on my lin
gers every member of the organiza
tion,that does not take this position.
We cannot afford any foolishness or
selfishness. The party is the bulwark
of our liberties; upon its success in
Georgia, and in the entire south, ab
solutely depends our safety ; it pro
tects our rights nud property, and is
the ouly safeguard for the honor and
virtue of our wives nml daughters.
Wc know this, aud we have patriotism
enough to heed the danger, and to be
ware of a' 1 extravagance.
We arc going to make the next
governor, nud have a working major
ity in the legislature. This fact is
already conceded. Wc are going to
do this in a deccut and orderly way,
and inside the democratic party. Our
motto is “|>cacc on earth, good will to
men.” Wc arc going to better our
condition, and wuut all classes to help
us. Wc mean good to all men, and
2vil to uoiie. Then let us have peace.
