To repeat a favorite poet, we took
fleet occasion by the hair and a twelve
hours ride broughtus to the Florida line;
and within another twelve hours tide
we reached Ocalla, Florida’s crown.
Midway she stands upon the divide which
separates the eastern and western shores
of tins sun-kissed southern peninsula.
Today, regal in her sub-tropical beauty,
she greets the sons of toil bound into an
Alliance embracing nearly all the sister
hood of states, with her far famed cor
diality, doors will open, smiling frees,ex
tended hands and substantial, hospi
tality.
From this gallery fronting morning—
memory comes beside me at d with her
viewless fingers she points ou sward over
theorange and magnolia groves; for be
yond across the water ind there three
small ships are found 1 saving Porto,Rico’s
shores—Ponca do Leon commanding, on
he comes, skirts the southern shores
among the ‘ keys’ —he turns, all flower
decked and perfume laden. It is a beau
fukiful easter Sunday—the feast of flow
ers, and he speaks the flowing word —
Florida; and among the nomencloture of
names, none is so consistent, so true as
Florida. Memory says that beautiful
day was in march, 1512. Ponce de Leon
was commissioned governor of the is
land, which he thought he had discover
ed, if he would colonize it. But the
red men disputed his claim, and he lost
his life.
In 1519 (laroy, the Spanish governor
of Jamaica.discoveredthat Florida was a
penensula and not an island as was sup
posed. On through the 16th century
past the mythical period, the 17th cent
ury, the 18th dragging its slow but sure
length along as progress and develop,
ment was concerned; but gathering
strength in the 19th century, energy and
enterprise, the mighty Midas that bathed
in the charming, health-giving atmos
phere, passed over her hammock lands
across the marshea.and today she stands
a joy and a pride to our whole coun
try.
It would be a pleasure to take up each
day’s delights, but that is not practica
ble. Only come and see, certainly the
half was and can never be told you of
the line atmosphere, the acres and acres
and acres of t ranges, and acres of yegita-
bles fields, and clear and shining springs,
It is not strange that the National Alli
ance accepted Ocala’s invitation to hold
her annual convention at this place.
What place is better at which to shake
hands,'rub out, begin over and hope on
forever; to bo thankful for past suc
cessor ; to be forewarned and forearmed
from j ast defeats.
it wo stand together wo will overtake
those who are astride opr silver dollars
and golden coins hoping that we may
never catch up with ij.ein. All we ark,
■ lr:>-icexpect, is just Our share—no
moic, no k-ss; and i wise management
and the cement cf faith, and hope and
unity is <ro:'g enough, victory is-ours

c.iir r' iit spite ; of the drones, the indif
ferent, the wcru;. Standing shoulder to
shoulder will hasten the time.
1 think I've heard a legend about Flor
ida’.'. s.’.ud and tin caus; but there’s gold
in tl. sand —it is erroneous to think oth- ;
erwise. la 18S!) Florida’s products
amount'd to 4855,435,820; her srwed
luml . ami timber, sl3 750,000: cigars
and manufactured tobacco, $8,000,000;
oraiigr.-i and lemons, $3,000,000; sweet

and swell this statement. It is claimed
that Florida produces the largest amount
of sea island cotton in the United States,
and that within a radius of 200 miles,
taking Jacksonville as a pivotal point, is
produced ail of our sea island cotton.
Hon. A. S. Marion has the Alliance

One of the heartiest addresses of wel
come was from Mr, Dunn, whose kind

it is said in this city that his heart is as
big as all out-of-doors, and we’ve every
reason to believe it.

THE GRAND ENDORSEMENT.
The enemies of the Alliance have been
congialu'.atiug themselves that the
grand c ?uncii of tbe Farmers’ Alliance
and Industrial Union, would modify
their platform and attempt to doctor
the sub treasury bill, and make it a mere
trap to batch votes, while the great
principles involved would bo sacrificed.
But alas! “the best laid plans of mice
and men oft gang aglar.” Even the suc
cessful and insinuating emmisaries of
the Georgia subsic ized press could not
manage to weaken the Alliance, but in
stead the whole body was solid for their
grand old St. Louis platform.
The eagerness of the members to make
the vote of eudo:sement strong btyend
dispute, was such that the vote was
taken by states, each state voting unani
mously for the platform, its ratification.
Then the vote was unanimously cast as
a body. After this all the visiti breth
ren were requested to vote, and they en
dorsed that grand measure.

REFORM PRESS ASSOCIATION.
an outcome of the national council
at Ocala, Fla., there will be formed a
National Reform Press Association, the
object of which will be the wide-spread
promulgation of the principles of the
St. Louis platform of the Farmers’ Alli
ance and Industrial Union. This will
insure uniformity of sentiment and ac
tion by simultaneously proclaiming the
necessities of the hour, and backed by
the enthusiastic support of the laboring
classes so opposed, the subsidized press
and the money power is going to howl!
Georgia may well be proud of her reg
ular delegates to the National Alliance.
They take a hand and generally a leading
one in all that is done. They are: Presi

sent good men, none has done better
than Georgia.

SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FAKMKR, ATLANTA, GA., DECEMBER, 9 1890.
A K ALLIANCE ADDRESS.
WHAT A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF
THE EE HSLATURE
Haye to say to the Sub'Allances About
the Senatorial Election
Te the Sub-Alliances iu Georgia.
Dear Brethren—At a reg -Lit m°erirg
of the senators and representatives, it
the general assembly of Georgia, who
are Alliancemen—held on the 25th ult.—
the undersign were, by an unanimous
vote, appointed a committee, charged
with tbe duty of preparing an address
to you —an address which should voice
the sentiments and t*'e deliberate judg
ment of those who constitute the above
mentioned conference:
It was well known to you, brethren,
that, fr :n the organiza ion. of the legis
lature down to the close of tbe United
States senatorial contest, the sir was
thick with rumors, reports and asser
tions touching our attitude on that ini
p r aut queatkn, Broad insinuations
appeared in certain newspapers to the
effect that legislators, belonging to our
order, were moved to the course they
pursued on tbe senatorial question by
undue influences and by p.rsuasiontj
wholly illegitimate.
We desire most earnestly to protest
against these unfair and groundless
charges. The suggestion that a single
member of the legislature, who is
an Allianceman, was moved or con
trolled in his vote for or againt General
Gordon by any undue influence, is abso
lutely without foundation.
We use the phrase, “members of the
legislature, who are Allianccmen,” first,
to distinguish them from members who
are not Alliancemen; secondly, and par
ticularly, because, as members of the
legislature, we are democrats, nominat
ed, elected and working as such.
Other things being equal, each of us
sought by our respective votes for sena
tor to secure that result which we hon
estly believed would contribute to the
good of the commonwealth, and best il
lus'rate the great underlying principle
of our order—“equal tights to all; spec
ial privileges to none.
Following the precepts of our noble
order, we are disposed to look
charitably upon the criticisms which
have been visited upon us from tie
sources already alluded to; but, charit
able as we desire to be, it is due our
constituencies and nur own self-respect
to denounce, and we do denounce, in
unqualified terms, all the unjust insin
uations which ba e been heaped upon us.
They do us grave injustice; they were
calculated and intended to r< b us of
your confidence,
Brethren: We are at once democratic
members of the general assembly and
Allia cemen. It looks as though this
was a dual capacity, and lockers ou, Al
liancemen and non-Allianceme-u, may so
regard it. In this view of the case, we
have a difficult mission to perform; we
ire to preserve inviolate our allegience
to the democratic party, and at the same
iin a, pusii forward to the work of re
form in legislation as on lined and de
manded by our order. Can we consist
ently prosecute this work in the halls of
legislation? M'st assuredly. Why?
Because the suggestions of the Alliance
in these state matters are in the nature
if a demand which an overwhelming
majority of the people approve.
W hat are these suggestions?
1 The reduction of taxes to the low
est point consistent with an economical
idniiaistratio'u or the government.
2 A revision of the common school
system, 10. kit gto a six mouths’ term
and the payment of teachers’ salaries
monthly or quarterly.
3 Enlarging the powers of the rail
road commission so as to guarantee and
preserve competition at all points on our
great railroad lines.
The senatorial contest is ended. Gen
eral John B Gordon will bs ths people's
iei.resentativa in the American senate
for the nsxt six years, beginning the 4;h
of March next. We say to you, in all
candor and iu all earnestness—ail state
ments, from whatever source they come,
to the contrary nvtwitbstandiig—that
our order is gre iter than the success or
the defeat of any man, however great
and gifted he may be.
Defeated, indeed ! Nothing but inter
nal dissension, brought on by self-seek
ing, can deteat our noble order in its
grand objects aad high purposes. In
saying this, we have iu our mind’s eye
no particular man or set of men. All of
us, rank and file, need but practice the
sinking of self iu the order, if we would
realize all the benefits which will flow
from an unselfish devotion to the princi
ples and purposes of our organization.
With all this,we press upon your at
tention this fact: The Alliance is
a not political organization. What
ever power we have wielded, or may
yet yield, grew out of, and must grow
out of, the fact that your sub-Alliances
are educative and social. It brings you
together; the coming together begets a
feeling of confidence and brotherly love;
out of these flow unity, and unity gives
strength.
Brethren, make the most of your sub-
Alliance meetings—gathering more and
more information, growing broader, and
ridding yourself of all the little prejudi
ces which in your isolation before the
coming of the Alliance, may have crept
into your minds and beans. Free a man
from prejudice and he becomes watchful
without being constantly suspicious. Wc
know the great value of these meetings,
The Tuesday night meetings of the con
ference, which ordered this address, are
held for the very purpose which brings
you together twice a month.
Brethren, we are here—determined to
do our duty as God may give us wisdom
to see it. We are on the ground, and
faithful to our oath of office, we propose
to be faithful to the people by whose con
fidence and favor we are here.
Now, a last word, brethren. Where
ever you find a man, who, by pen, or
word of mouth, is seeking to destroy
your confidence in certain of your breth
ren, because, forsooth, these latter fol
lowed the dictates of their own conscien
ces in preference to the dictation of the
critic, on whom no responsibility, in the
promises, rests, turn a deaf ear to him.
Take the brethren as you know them,not
as he paints him. Ifan be an Ailiance
man, rebuke him, an I charge him to go
and study the principles ot our noble or
der if happily lie may catch the spirit of
true brotherhood, charity and unity.
As already intimated, the raemb rsof
our order who are in the general asteni
bly have, with a spirit of liberality be
coming Alliancemen, consigned to the
past whatever difference obtained among
them on the senatorial question. In the
present and in the future we shall act
together for the promotion of the wel
fare and the!people of this the inter
ests of all the advancement of great com
mon wealth.
Brethren, in 'the name of the good
order, we salute you.
Fraternally aud respectfully,
James P. Walker,
Senator 12th Dist.
C. M. Witcher,
Senator 30 h Dist.
C. C. Ellington,

The foregoing address, duly signed by
the committee appointed to prepare it,
was submitted to a full meeting of tbe
conference this Tuesday evening, De
cember 2, 1890, and, on motion, was
unanimously adopted bv a rising vote,
and ordered ti be furnished for publica
tion to The Southern Alliance Far
mer anti all other papers in tho st He
friendly to our order.
Attest: J. E Nunnally,
11. L. Graves, Senator, Prts’t.
Member of House, Seo’y.
Dear Brothers:—The year is about
drawing to a close, and it is absolutely
necessary for the Exchange to insist upon
the prompt settlement of all outstanding
notes and acounts, due by our patrons.
Large amounts are due us on goods
sold cash, but for different reason are yet
unpiid. We are almost daily in receipt
of shipments of cotton bagging returned
to us by Alliauccmen without ono word
of instructions as to the number of yards,
who, or where from. It is impossible to
credit such goods intelligently.
Remember that -we have no traveling
agent, and our business has to be trans
acted by e.oirespondence; therefore
it is all the more necessary that every Al
ligncenian who sees this notice, should
do his utmost to assist in the adjust
ment of these matters, so vital to the in
terest of every one in the order.
Very little action is being taken in mat
ter of fertilizer though it has been repeat
edly brought to your attention through
this medium, and various circulars on the
subject. In a little while it will be need
ed for immediate use, and the scramble
for it of last spring will be repeated, and
the Exchange, railroads and companies
will get their share of blame for a thing
that the purchasers’ are responsible
for.
It seems that, large quantities of cotton
bagging are going to be carried over by
the Exchange, that was ordered for Alli
ancemen. Bear in mind the loss of it is
yours. Fair warning has been given, put
the blame where it belongs.

REFORM PRESS.
At the Friday uignt meeting, Dscemg
her stb,of the Reform Press Association,
Dr. C. W. Macune was made president
of the association; Mr. John B. S elle, of
Illinois, vice-president; W. S. Morgan,
of Missouri, secretary and treasurer.
This is the begining of agreat and useful
organization.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1, 1890.
Mr. H. C. Brown, Editor Southarn Alliance
Farmer:
For fear that the quietness with which
we have acquiessed in Governor Gooden’s
election to the United States senate, may
seem like a tacit condemnation of Liv
ingston, Macune and others of our lead
ers who opposed his election for politi
cal and not personal reasons. I feel
that it is my duty to express publicly my
continued confidence in them as gentle
men and true Allianccmen, and well
worthy the high trust that we as AUi
ancemen have reposed in them. I confi
dently believe that their only purpose
and motive has been tbe good of the or
der, that they have so long and ably rep
resented; that they have been conscien
tously doing their duty bravely as they
saw it; working for the dominance of the
political views that our order has repeat
edly endorsed and pledged itself to ad
vocate. Had they done less, seeing as
they saw, and believing as thev believed,
they would have been less than true
men.
This is intended in no wise to reflecton
those brethren of our order who saw differ
ently. I desire to give any man the same
credit that I take to myself—that of be
ing honest; of having no personal axe to
grind—nothing but a fixed purpose, to
do for the best interest of the the peo
ple.
And for Senator Gordon, I
have nothing but good words and
a great and yearning hope that lie will
measure up to the needs of the hour,
championing the cause of the people who
have so long and faithfully stood by him,
and I have the faith to believe that ho
will do his best. I cannot do anything
else than believe, he is our senator. Our
hope is based upon him for six years.
And now, I want to say to our breth
ren of the Alliance, that we have had our
differences. Those differences have been
arbitrated. Let’s stand by the arbitra
tion. Let’s get togeter again, renew our
covenants and go to work again with
brotherly love and a united purpose aud
determination for the most glorious as
well as the most sacred cause for which
men ever fought,bled and died the liberty
of the people. Fraternally,
C. H. Ellington.
