AN ALLIANCE ADDRESS.
irilATvt NV/HHFH OF MF31BEKS OF
run fin i si, Air lit;
Have To Say To the Sul>-Allianc»s About
the Senatorial Election.
Vo the Huh-Alliance* in Georgia.
Dear Brethren-At a regular meeting of the
^narnrs amt’■opresemative. n. the general M
souibly o t Georgia, who are Allianceineu held
the 25tl» uUfc.—the uodesigned were, by unan
iinous vote, appointed a committee, charged
with the duty of preparing an artdms to you—
fin adfirehM which should voice the Mjntiuienta
anti the deliberate judgment of those who con
stitute the above mentioned conference:
It In well known to yon. brethren, that, from
the organization of the legislature down to the
close of the United States senatorial contest, the
air was thick with rumors, report* and asser
tions touching our attitude on that Important
fjO Ktion. liroad Intimations appeared in cer
tain newspapers to the effect that legislators,
belonging to our order, were moved to the
course they pursued on the senatorial question
by undue influences and by persuasions wholly
illegitimate.
We desire most earnestly to protest against
those unfair and groundless charges. The sug
gestion that a single member of the legislature,
who is an Alliancenmn. was moved or controlled
in his vote furor against General Gordon by any
undue influence, is absolutely without founda
tion.
We use the phrase, “members of the legisla
ture who are AUluncemen,” first, to distinguish
them from members vlio are not Aiiianoemen;
secondly, and particularly, because, a:* members
of the legislature, we are democrats, nominat
ed, elected and working as xfleb.
Other things beimr equal, each of us sought
by our respective votes for senator to secure
that result which we honestly believed would
contribute to the good of tbe commonwealth,and
best illustrate the great underlying principle of
our order-— 1 “equal rights to all; special privi
leges to none.”
Following the precepts of our noble order, we
are djapf »ed to look charitably upon the criti
cisms which have beeen visit* d upon n* from
the sources already alluded to; but, charitable
as we desire to be, it is due our constituencies
and our own self respect to denounce, and we
do denounce, in unqualified terms, all the Un
just insinuations which have been heaped upon
us. They do us grave Injustice; they were cal
culated and intended to rob us of your confi
dence.
brethren: We are at once democrats members
of the general assembly and AULtfi pen. It
looks as though tbii was a dual capacity, and
lookers on, Alliapoginen and non-Alban*’'men,
may so regard it. In this view of the case, we
have a difficult mist Ion to perform; wo are to
preserve Inviolate our allegiance to
-*»* gr.at democratic party, and* at
the same time, push forward the work of reform
in legislation as outlined and demanded by our
order. Gan we consistently prosecute* this
work In the halls of li gustation? Most assure d
ly. Why? Because the suggestion- o' tho Al
liance, in these state matters, are in the nature
of a demand whit it an over whelming majority
of the people approve.
What are these suggestions?
1. The redu tioirof taxes to tho lowest point
consistent with an economical administrat or! of
the government.
2 . A revision of tho common school system,
looking to a six months’ term and the payment
of teachers* salaries monthly or quarterly.
3. Enlarging the powers of the railroad com
mission so as to guarantee and preserve compe
tition at all points on our great railroad lines.
The senatorial contest is ended. General
.John B. Gordon will be the people'll representa
tive in the American senate for six years, be
ginning the 4ih of March next. We say to you.
in all candor and in all earnestn : ;ss—all state
man t*, from whatever source they come, to the
contrary not withstanding-that our order is
greater than the success or the defeat of any
man, however great and gifted he may be.
Defeated, ind?od! Nothing but internal dis
sension, brought on by self-seeking, <■ n defeat
our noble order In its grand objects and high
purposes. In saying this, we have In our mind’s
eye no particular man or set of men. All of us,
rank and file, need but practice the sink ng of
self into tho order ;f we would realize all the
benefits which will flow from au unselfish de
v< t on to the principle* and purposes of our or
ganisation.
With all this, we press upon ym ir attention
this fact; The Alliance is not a political organ!
nation, Whatever power wo have w 1 elded, or
muy yet wield, grew out of, and must grow out
of, the fact that the work of your sub-Alhunot s
Is educative and st cal. It brings you together
the coining together bsgets a feeling of confi
dence and brotherly love; out of the*® flow
unity, and unity gives strength.
Brethren, make the most of yonr sub-Alliance
meetings—gathering more and more informa
tion, growing broader, and ridding your-rives
of nil the little prejudices which in yonr isola
tion before the coining of the AlUiiuce. may
have crept into your minds and hearts. Free a
man from prejudice and he becomes watchful
w ithout being constantly suspicions. W« know
the great value of these meetings. The Tues
day night mootings of the conference, which or
dered this address, ar h id for the very pur
pose which brings you tog» thcr twice a mouth
Brethren . We arc here-determined to do our
duty m Cod may give us wisdom to see it. We
are on the ground, and laithfui to our oath of
office, we propose to be faithful to the people by
whose confidence and favor we are here.
Now, a last word, brethren. Wherever you
find a man who, by pen, or word of mouth, Is
seeking to destroy yonr confluence in
certain of jour brethren, because, for
sooth, i hot- latter followed the
dictates of tlieir own consoien. ei in preference
to the dictation of the critic, on w hom no re
sponsibility, in the premises, rests, turn a deaf
car to him. Take the brethren as you know
them, not ns he paints them. If the critic be an
Allianceui–n, rebuke him. and charge him to go
and study the principles of our m>b’e order it
happily ho may catch the spirit of true brother
hood, charity and unity.
Ah already intimated, the mom bora of our or
der who are in the general assembly have, w ith
a spirit of libera ity bceonv ng Allian temcn. eon

among them on the senatorial question. In the
present and in the future we shall act together
