Raleigh, N. C. t - Sept. 2.—The Pro¬

North Carolina Farmers’ Alliance, 1ms
created no little sensaticgi by the editori¬
als in to-days issue, attacking Senator
Vance, and accusing him of. being at
odds with the Democratic party.
Months ago, Senator Vance .was re¬
quested by the Alliance to introduce the
sub-treasury history that has bill, and there begins develop¬ the

ments. He did so, but did not endorse
it, as he considered it unconstitutional.
Later on, he was officially questioned by
Secretary Beddingfield, endorsed of the State Alli¬
ance, as to whether he the bill.
The same question was put to all the
congressmen. Senator Vance said he did
not endorse the bill, as presented,though
no man more warmly favored the inter¬
ests of the farmei-s. Before this point at
issue st general dispute arose. It was a
case of Vance against the extreme men
in the Alliance, and, as a result, there
was introduced in nearly all Democratic
county conventions a resolution endors¬
ing Vance, and pledging re-efection legislative can¬
didates to vote for liis to the
senate. In some counties the resolutions
failed of adoption, and created consider¬
able feeling.
Polk Stirs Up Opposition.
Col. L. L. Polk, the head of the Na¬

gressive his Farmer. He was hers Saturday,
and paper of to-day contains the edi-
torials upon Vance, making the issue di¬
rectly between the senator and the Alli¬
ance. These editorials demand that
Vance show his hand, and claim that, as
Vance opposes the abolition of the na¬
tional bainks, and as the Democratic
state convention endorsed that plan,
therefore Vance is not in line w’itn the
Democrats. The Alliancemen are noti¬
fied not to support him, if his views aye
contrary to theirs. The editorials were
written by Col. Polk, and throw down
the gauntlet to Vance. No ono can tell
the effect of this attack.
The Outcome Perhaps a Split.
A well known ex-member of the Alli¬
ance says that it will cause a division of
suits for the Democratic party 111 the state.
Col. Polk has been smarting under the
attacks of a number of newspapers upon
the Alliance and himself for opposition
to Vance, and this is an open secret.
One of the greatest political sensations in
the history of the state is probably just
developing.
