Ho is an easy and flu ent speaker, thou somewhat to be prolix, and we can readily be lieve his assertion that if he been perfectly well he could talk to the crowd the whole day. Commencing his discourse, Mr. Jackson spoke of the way in the people are taxed to death to the bondholders who bought bonds at about fifty ceDts on dollar. He then paid his to the enormous tariff system taxes everything from a tin cup He wanted the people to realize well it would be for the trusts and ' monopolies to have Mills bill lie on the table, while remain hewers of wood and of water.

A chant in LaGrange who joined that as a man ponld not be both buyer and a seller; the thing be dis posed of; and sure enough it was dis posed of. The grange went to sleep and left tho farmers without protoc tion ugainst monopolies. There is no profession that is not organized, yet there is war upon the Farmers Alliance. It is said that wo can’t stick—they don't want ns to stick. The principle of alliance is founded in nature and instituted by God. The dew falls gently bit is drawn up by the sun, the snow flake melts by itself, the brook amounts to very little; but altogeth er allied make the mighty Mississippi bearing the burdens of great boats with ease. Nature combines and re quires power. The principles of the Allianoe have been published and are well known, and upon those principles and the constitution of the order he stood. The great work of the order is to educate people and improve their finances' The bravest man in the world will flinch when the commercial man takes him around the counter and asks him to pay that little bill, lio is not afraid of a hostile foe, but surrenders ignominiously to debt. The remedy for debt is to go home and stay there and make your farm self sustaining. All the laws that could ever be enact ed could not relieve you like this course. Combine and plant corn; no one can object to such a procedure. Cease to bring in your mules and sad die them with mortgages. Not only was Georgia afflicted, but ten north western States were so over mort gaged that the lands were irredeem able. The fact is that the cities are growing richer and the country poor er. I feel big when I am in Atlanta, but get wonderfully small when I get home to eat my corn bread. This country is rich in soil and bless ed in climate, yet the monopolies are so great and so grasping that we can no; even eat our corn bread in peace. The remedy for all these evils lies iu the Alliance. Everybody is or ganized with a two edged sword against yon—not personally, but to handle your produce. By the Alii ance yon will be improved morally, financially and socially. Tho object of the Alliance is to administer jus tice and equity to everybody. We don’t intend to make war on the merchants, but the way they fight us, 1 go 'way honey! The merchants have formed a new organization by which they propose to boycott the A1 liance, and refuse credit to every wie who has not paid* up. But if we take care of our own interests all will prosper. Georgia is about to take a new step and handle its own business. The Alliance now numbers 1,200,000 members, and they propose to organ ize their own exchanges. Let us state where we stand and not be lik p the Atlanta Constitution, blow hot and cold with the same breath. We are waking up and Wall street is re alizing the fact, and willing to lean us $10,000,000 to run aur business; but we will run our own business. At present a bale of cotton is sold for $40 and the goods turned back fyr $120. The^ manufacturer makes his $40, the producer has his but what becomes of the other $40? The middle man gets it. We will take this $40 and divide it among the honest Georgia boys who made it. The Siate agency in Kentucky controls 50,000 bushels of wheat. The agency in Tennessee will sell you wagons ror $35 that others have charged you $05 lor. In Texas, the manufacturers have got so they won’t tall to_ihe agency. Even the Indians are forming alliances. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. In the afternoou the County Alii ance held a secret session and elect ed the following officers for the next term: President—J. O. A.

THE QUESTION OF UNITY IN NEW YORK CITY. Will the Party Suffer by the Internal Fight over the Spoils?—Repub¬ lican Troubles. Special Correspondences New*. New York, July 12.—Tho ques¬ tion of local Democratic unity is just now the overshadowing political topic. A mayor, board of aldermen and county officers are the bone of contention, Tammany Hall, which has not had a mayor of its own these many years, insists that this is a good year for the wigwam to name the can didate. Tho aspect is entirely dif ferent through the County Demo cracy spectacles. That organization declares that it is strong enough to elect its individual candidate, with both Tammany and Republican tickets in the field. The leaders complain that Tammany with the $50,000 a year shrievalty, county clerkship (worth nearly as much) presidency of the board of aldermen and various other local offices, always has more than its due share of the official plums. All these they are willing to concede to Tammany in this year’s partition, hut when it comes to tno mayoralty they em phaticaliy draw the line. The Star has been industrously sounding fhe opinions of the leaders in both organizations on this matter, particulary with reference to its pos sible effect on the city vote for the national ticket. Various views have been advanced. Some of the best known of the local politicians of both Tammany and the Counties warmly advocate local unity, no matter to whom the prizes may go. Two Democratic tickets in the field they say, would have a dispiriting effect on the out¬ side Democracy, and would end in trades and dickers which could do the national ticket no good. These seem also to be the generally accept ed views outside of New York,where these little facticnal differances arc watched with the same interest as here, and for obvious reasons. Yet there are not wanting astute political managers who take a radi I call? different view of the matter, and are as emphatic in their advo cacy of seperate tickets. To begin with they assert, and with entire tru h, that Democratic success will not bu imperilled by seperate tick ;is. As to tbe voting strength of ihe organizations, either one is in excess of that of the Republicans. Their argument, though, rests mainly on the claim that rival Democratic tickets would put tbe two evenly balanced organizations on their met tie as nothing else could, and bring to the polls thousands of voters who might otherwise absent themselves. They scout .he idea that there would be any trading of the Presidential ticket, but insist that it would gan materially by reason of the full.r vote. In support of their clairrD they reft r to the State election of three y ars ago. Each of the faciiji.s had Let local tickets in tbe field at that time and the alarmists declared that Gov. Hill would be caught be tween the two and traded to death. The contrary proved to be the case, as he polled a magnificent voFe.
