1 ALLIANCE TALK
BRIEF REVIEW OF THE GEOR
GIA CAMPAIGN.
THE GRANDEST VICTORY-IN THE
ANNALS OF OUR STATE.
“PRINCIPLES BEFORE MEN" THE
MOTTO OF THE ALLIANCE.
public sentiment! We have now on our
side the greatest .statesmen and ablest
jurists in Georgia, and the great finan
cial papers of the North are now • dis
cussing the Sub-Treasury bill as a solu
tion of our monetary question. Here is
great national issue, that has vexed
the brains of our greatest law-makers
for nearly half a century, about to be
solved by a convention of plain, prac
tical farmers! A few months ago you
never heard the Sub-Treasury bill men
tioned, except with jeers and ridicule.
Now it lias engaged the careful and re
spectful attention of the country.
The
Politicians Astounded and De
moralized.
The great victory won last Wednes
day by the Farmers’ Alliance is now all
the sensation. The old moss-back poli
ticians, that have so long ruled Georgia
with an iron rod, are in a state of con-
steruation. They have been patiently
and confidently waiting for these long
years to see the Alliance movement go
to pieces—and here they find it^iwcep-
ing Georgia from her mountains to the
seaboard, and carrying all before it.
These self-same politicians last spring
warned the Alliance that if they went
ix-to politics they would be wrecked on
that dangerous rock; but the farmers
turned a deaf ear to these selfish and
greedy advisers, and proceeded to fight
their political battles at the polls, well
knowing that to secure the enactment
of any great measures of relief or re
form, that they must have in office men
who are in full and hearty accord and
sympathy with their views.
* *
And what is the result? When the
sturdy Alliance ship struck that politi
cal rock she did not go to pieces, as had
been prophesied. The farmers’ vessel
rode safely over this destruction, and is
now anchored in a calm haven, guarded
on all sides by the confidence, admira
tion and devoted loyalty of the people.
But the rock itself was shivered into ten
thousand pieces, and that band of polit
ical prophets that so boldly stood upon
its pinnacle to watch the destruction of
the Alliauce, are now struggling for
existence in the waves of troubled wa
ters. The ship of the Alliance had a
sturdy pilot and brave captain, who
were determined to steer straight for
their goal, it mattered not what da
threatened them.

The alliance victory fell into the camp
of tho old Atlanta ring like a thunder
bolt from a clear sky. When they pre
vailed upon Governor Gordon to defy
the farmers and lead their little army
against the Sub-Treasury bill, they
counted victory as assured. These pol
iticians did not realize the strength or
determination of the Alliance, and cal
culated that before the gallant war rec
ord and magnetic presence of that great
soldier, that this organization would
melt away like mist before the noonday
sun. They prevailed upon Governor
Gordon not only to wave the flag of de
fiance in the face of every Allianceman
in Georgia, but to slander and hold up
to ridicule their officers and their
friends. If a democratic nominee rc
fused to obey their dictates and declai m
himself for Gordon, an independent
candidate was brought out against him
But when the vote was counted, there
was such a weeping and wailiqg and
gnashing of teeth as was never before
known in Georgia. This farmers’ move
ment swept over the state like a tidal
wave leaving nothing but political
wrecks in its wake. Gov. Gordon was
aghast and dumbfounded, and the alli
ance of his own county of DeKalb, was
the first to inscribe upon the walls of
its large room:
“MKNK MENE TEKEL UriIABSIN !”
John B. Gordon had been weighed in
Hie alliance balance and found wanting.
He had turned bis back on old, tried
and true friends, and must now accept
tho consequences. The old ringsters
and politicians were dumbfounded.
**.
A gentleman who was in Atlanta on
Thursday, says that city is wild with
excitement. The old politicians are
half crazed with horror and apprehen
sion, and divide their time between
cursing and abusing tho Alliance for
daring to defeat their candidates and
Gorden, and quarrelling among them
selves. They confidently counted on
(Jbv. Gordon overthrowing the farmers,
but instead of this both their Gordon
and his advisers were caught under the
de dfa 1 set for the Alliance. The Wed
iiesuiiy’s election means the annihila
tion and destruction of that aruiv of
sore-head politicians, disappointed of
fice-seekers and party wreckers.
New men are elected to represent Geor
gia in the legislature, who come fresh
from the hands of the people, and on
whom the corrupting influence of At
lanta can make no impress, They are
Allianceman; they owe their office to
that organization, and will represent
the interests of the farmers.
***
It is said that an organization has al-
r 5 a » b®cn formed to capture enough of
Uio Alliance members to elect Gov.
Gordon to the senate. No ends will be
left untried. Money, unstinting hos
pitality, flattery, social tecognition, in
fact, all the means at the command of
rich and wily politicians and a great
city. But these tempters will not suc
ceed. The people have elected to re
present them members from the ranks
of the honest yeomanry of old Georgia,
and they will not be bought, bribed or
coerced. The politicians have measur
ed swords and strength with the farm-
ere, aud have gone down in the battle.
1 here can never be any coalition be
tween the two—for one side represents
the interests of the people; the other
ambition 11 8elfi8h end * and personal

Thovictory of Todd, an Allianceman,
over Venable, the Atlanta candidate
was a gratify ing success. In the sena
torial contest, Reed rule was practiced
and a nomination defeated. But the
farmers elected their candidate in spite
of the money and power of the city. It
will be the same way in the 7th district.
The Jeffersonian Democrats’’ carried
Floyd county by a tight squeeze; but
when the rural districts are heard from
in the congressional race, independent-
ism and Feltomsm will be buried out of
eight byjorganized democratic votes. In
every county, the issue was the cities
towns, politicians and Gordon vs. the
country, the Alliance and the Sub-
Treasury bill. Every element conspired
to defeat and break down the farmers
and their organization. But the btav.-
sons of toll met and overthrew them at
every point. '
RELIGIOUS DEPARTHEHT. I Georgia news. -
Da. C. W. LANE, Kditob.
VACATION RELIGION.
An attempt is being made by the
Gordon organs to create the impression
that the A! l• • nee leaders have sold out
the farmets to the Richmond & Dm-
ville railroad, just because Mr Pat Cal
houn, attorney for that line, wrote a
strong article in favor of the Sub-Treas
ury bill, over the signature of “Geor
gian.” Mr. Calhoun is.a pure and able
man, and one of the leading financiers
of the country Just because he is con
nected with a railroad is no reason why
he is an enemy to the Allium e. Mr.
Calhoun is a man of liberal ideas and
broad views, and well knows that the
prosperity of the farmers means in
creased business and prosperity for the
road he represents. The fault with too
many public and leading men is that
they think it to their interest to keep
the tiller of the soil poor and dc|*nd-
ent. Mr. Calhoun, by his magnificent
defense of this great measure of relief
for our farmers, has endeared himself
to this class of our people, and they
will ever look upon him with love and
gratitude. He did not write that arti
cle with an eye to political gain, but it
was the honest promptings of one of the
kindest, most thoughtful and generous
hearts. In hehalfof the Fa’mers’ • Al
liance of this section of Georgia, we
thank Mr. Calhoun for his convincing
and timely defense of their cause and
their rights.
***
The politicians are very much exer
cised to know who the Alliance will
put against Gordon in the Senatorial
race. When the'time comes, the repre
sentatives of tho people in the legisla
ture will unite on a candidate who will
not only represent their interests and
do manly battle for the Sub-Treasury
bill, but reflect honor upon our State.
They have the best timber in Georgia to
select from. There is plenty of time
yet in which to make a choice. There
is no ring rule in the Alliance, but ev
ery county given an opportunity to be
heard. Then the farmers represents
tives will get together and centre on the
best man to be had.
***
The Alliance has no war to make on
Gov. Gordon. They love and honor
him; but they will not sacrifice on the
shrine of his contrition their independ
ence and self-respect. It is Gordon who
is fighting this organization of our
farmers. He is the leader of these ene
mies, and his election to the U. S. Sen
ate would be a disastrous defeat for the
Alliance and its principles. The farm
ers love and honor John B. Gordon; but
they love and honor more the noble or
ganization that will rescue them from
their tyrants and oppressors.

Turkey* Defeated by Grasshoppers.
Not far from''Scranton, Pa-, Hves
Farmer James C. Fairchild. He has
gained local notoriety of late by reason
of an unsuccessful fight against grass
hoppers that took possession of a rye
stubble field. Farmer Fairchild muster
ed in opposition to the green clad foe an
army of turkeys. The gobblers were
driven to the battle ground through an
aperture in a big stone wall. At the
first assault it seemed that they were to
•win easily. They drove the ’hoppers
into a corner of the tall fence. Then
the fugitives turned upon the turkeys,
and, according to the account of an eyo
witness, “came within, an ace of
swamping them. The fowls were com
pletely covered with grasshoppers, and
the insects kept coming at them so thick
and fast that the turkeys finally took to
their legs and wings and went squalling
toward the center of the lot.
After a little one of the gobblers ral
lied the flock and led them back to the
corner. He gobbled a numBer of times
on the way, and the old tom turkeys
marched abreast of him and gobbled de
fiantly at the grasshoppers, the hens
bringing up the rear and talking saucily
as they marched. Well up toward the
corner of the field the flock spread ont.
and in a moment innumerable wings
were buzzing toward the wall. Pretty-
soon the grasshoppers were as thick in
the comer as they had been before.
There wasn’t room for them all, and
again they turned upon the turkeys and
the turkeys turned tail in an Instant,
skedaddled across the lot and flew into
the roadway. The fowls had plainly
been badly scared, and since then Farm'
er Fairchild has been unable to get them
to 6tay in the rye field for ten minutes
at a time.

The Value of Money.
Men of unlimited means hardly ap
preciate the value of just one dollar,
but with the poor every dollar means so
much toil and so much effort. It is a
comfort to know that the poverty strick
en invalid can derive so much j.ood
from so little expenditure, when they
invest their dollars in B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm).
W. C. McGauhev, Webb City, Arkan
sas, writes: “B. B. B. has done me
more good and for less money than any
other blood purifisr I ever used. I owe
tbe comfort of my life to it.”
A.~ P. McDonald, Atlanta, Ga,
writes: “1 laid a running ulcer on my
leg. Several doctors failed to do it
good. Three bottles of B. B. B. effected
a cure. B. B. B. also cured my brother
of a running sore.”
David Thurman, Atlanta, Ga., says:
“I was a constant sull'erer for many
years with Scrofula and Eczema. A
few bottles of B. B. R. entirely cured
me.”
John M. Davis, Tv er, Texas, writes:
“I was subjeet a number of years to
spells of inflammatory rheumatism,
which six bottles of B. B. B, thank
heaven, has entirely cured. I have not
felt tbe slightest pain since.”

Don’t Forget the Wedding Ring.
A story is told of a couple who came
to church and requested to be married,
not having the wedding ring. The
preacher, it is said, not unnaturally felt
somedehcacy about this marrying with
out the ring, and finally found a way
out of tbe difficulty by procuring an
old curtain ring from his own house,
and with this article the loving couple
were duly united in the bonds of holy
matrimony. In your haste to get mar

expressly for such occasions.
