Pittsboro Record. , OVERSTEPPED THE PLAN. Notwithstanding the earnest protests of many good men , to the contrary, the Alliance has been turned into a vast political machiue, whose leaders seem bent on but one policy of rule or rum, or it may be botu. This week's Progressive Farmer, the State organ of the Alliance, has a lengthy tirade against Senator Vance. Of course the Chronicle feels confident that the Progressive j Farmer has overstepped, the plan of the Alii? nee. I, is not! on the card to defeat Senator Vame; still, the fact that the State organ of tlie,vast politic al machine, oathbound aud ex clusive against all men not farmers, has calledfor Senator Vance's scalp, is significant of the serious lengths to-which leaders of such, organizitions may go, and do go. . The very fact that the' Alli ance excludes many Demo crats from its deliberations,-is sufficient to make every Demo crat wary of the Alliance in politics. Look at it as one will, and "the Alliance in politics" cannot appear but as a political ring- within the Democratic party. It is not Democratic, and the result of it on the par ty, is a serious contemplation, what those men outside of the Alliance will do, it is not easy to foretell. Prohibited from the deliberations of the Alii1 ancs, which in some places is composed of a majority of the party, the minority is defeated of its rights guaranteed as a fundamental basis of Democracy-.

There has lately sprung Up in our State a class of self -constituted leaders who havftTriamed themselves "friends of the far mer" and who are going about sowing strife. Few of them are farmers or have ever been, and few of them have any interest in the agricultural class: but they are working a great and benencent orgamza- tion for omce and lor money, and are doing it by appeals to 1 . I TniTCOlINTRT THY COD'8, J- Jr. ' 1. ' 1 ' prejudice and passion. The harden of their song Is "politic cal j demagogues,".' and it has been ' aptly remarked that if they are heeded the big dema gogues5 will be dethroned and we shall instead of these a host of Tittle ones in place and po werV i; 1 It 5 is note worthy that all of the attacks of, these 5 new leaders" of the people hpon the politicians of the day, are directed towards the Democratic politicians. Thisf is remarkable for two reasons: tirst, that these samei Democratic politicians have beeu struggling for years to accomplish' the legislation which the Farmers' Alliance wants; and second, that there has not been a day since the war that the Democratic party has has been able to inaugurate a measure of national legisla tion. It is inost'extraordihary that it is not the governing party which is not denounced for misgovernment but the minorty party. Wholesale at tacks are made upon the Democratic party in Congress and upon the Democratic Con gressmen from this State in particular, without any speci fications being - filed and re gardless of the fact that this party and these Congressmen are powerless to onact any legislation in the face of a hostile majority. - It is the refinement of irony that there should now be an attempt to array the farming class against the Democratic party. This party has always been and is yet the- peculiar champion of' the agricultural interests. The Republican parjy, with its protective policy, stands for the manufacturers and draws from them and from other capitalists and monopolists the money with which to carry elections ; the Democratic par- j ty opposes the protective tariff! as discriminating against the fariLer in favor of the manu facturer; and yet with this un broken record we have -lived to see the day in North Carolina when orators and papers and so-called "farmers' friends" ruthlessly attack the chosen servants of this party and re maindumbastothe party which has. foisted upon the country the- legislation from which the farmers are now suffering. We have said before that the farmers of North Carolina are not going off after these strange gods and we shall not believe they; are until we see them do it. A few noisy fellows, intent upon getting offices aud making money, may attempt to lead them away from past associa tious and'into new paths, but it is not every time that they are piped to that they dance. ' "We have infinite faith in the intelligence, manhood and patriotism of the North Caro lina farmers qualities often tested and iniwhich they have never been found wanting and while we become sick at heart ami indignant at the efforts of designing men to dupe them, we reflect again that their good sense is their sure protection against those who, professing friendship for them and seek ing to stir them up'against old friends, are only trying to make tooli-of them, and that, their proverbial conservatism isn assurauce that they will do uothiug rashly. Statesv'lle Landmark. - t tkOUR GREATEST MAN," There is one man in North Caro lina who, more than uy other of our great citizens, is the cmbodi mfnt of-the eternal pi iuciples of Democracy ; aud of whom it may be said : Ue is Democracy incar nate, vyhi'e the Democratic party will live when he is dead, it caunot flourish in North Carolina soil, aud show that it is true to itself unless it recognizes that man as its leader, and rallies around his siaudard env thusiastically, aud keeps him on the watch tower to guard its fortifica tions and to sound the alarm in times of daDger. Every 'Nortn Carolinian knows thatS-uator Z'bulon Haird Vance is that man. . Ilia term .ts United Mates SeuaN tor expires on the 4th ot March taext, aud he is a caiididate for re election. He is tot, a yjndidate in the ordinary sense of that term, but in its higheit and best sense. For twelve years he has been a member of that body of htatesmeu and be has by his great ability, his untiring industry, and by his devo tion to the interests of the people of North Carolina and the Unien won a place among the greatest of living statesmen. . He succeeds Senator Beck as the ir-pst capable and well informed Democrat in the Senate upon economic questions, and bis influence in the Senate is equal to that of any man who sits in that honorable body. He wi l 'go down into history as the gr"cat est man North Carolina has pro duced. .- We state this as our delib erate conviction after a careful study ol the great deeds of all our i rtra!it.mpn living and dead. We tate it not iMjcause of any iavo'rit ;ism because we have never known Senator Vance intimately or well, ' f - " f ' . i . AND TKUTIIS' We judge solely by his public ca reer, which is open to all. ' - '. '. ' Bat it is not claimed, by his most ardent' friends, that? Senator Vance is perfect or free from the frailties of humanity. lie has been in pub lie life so.long, aud been so out spoken and so frank, upon all public questions that be has made enemies. He has been strong in his expres, sions and severe in his denuncia tions. .'. ' : .' " "The only soil of his fair virtue's i'loss, ; . Was a sharp wit, match'd with too blunt a r will; V (-;. Whose edge none spurned that came within his power," . ' -" Senator ..Vance is, and has been throughout the constant aud de voted champion of the rights-aud liberties of ; the : every-day-man. Ft m and of the people, and deeply sympathizing whh tuera in their struggles against porertvaud op piessive legislation, he has never failed anywhere to be their true representative. He has beeu called a demagogue by his critics liPcause his interest in securing a repeal of legislation that bears upon the poor baa been constant and per-ustanr. There are people whose favorite epithet to apply to a true represen tative of the- people "dema gogue." If Senator Vauce is a ''demagogne'' then let us devoutly pray that their tribe may increase ! r For twenty-five years he has been calling upon the farmers and others who are unjastly taxe, to organize to defeat the pernicious legislation that burdens them. The farmers have organized and have,; in "many way, exerted a salutary influence. Those of them who sins cerely.desire relief and at the same time preserve white supremacy in the South, are Senator t Vance's most , enthusiastic supporters for re-electiou. Ool. Polk patri otically saidiome, weeks ago : " ' I wonld crawl from Washington to Raleigh to vote for Senator Vance' and he but voiced the sentiment of the great body of North Caroli-- mans, whether they are farmers or not. . Bat while this .is trnp, there is opposition i" I certain j rtera 'to Senator Vance. IT- nmcia tion of Monopoly and Trusts ?nd Protection have caused some men to feel luke-warm towards him if not to oppose bis re-election. His constant advocacy of a Railroad .Commiision has brought him critics and opponents ainobg those who desire the defeat of that meas ure. We have seen no disposition to make a public fight from either of these quarters, but their hos tility is known. The other opposition is from a lew members of the Alliance who are disappointrd because Sftiator Vance will not support the sub Treasury bill. They admire him and love him, bnt are disposed to resent his manly letter giving his reason why he could not support the Sub-Treasury bill Whatever any man may think of that measure whether he favors or oppose it he must have great admiration for Senator Vance's honest expression of his honest conviction. If. he had been,, guided by policy -he would have declared for the measure. But, though desiring sincerely to help the farmers, he'does nor be lieve that the Sub-Treasury bill is constitutional or practicable ; and like the honst statesman he is, he says so He shows his willingness to do everything in his, power tor the farmers, and the Chronicle is snre that those, who regret he could not support the measure they have endorsed, wdl appreciate his candor, "and recognize the devotion to.their interests. His lette was a niad and brave one worthy ol Z 'buIon B. Vauce. iu view of the opposition, ns yet dormant, the Chronicle believes that every county in the State ought to follow the example of Wilson ounfy convention and iii8ti net its Senators and Repre sentatives to support Setiat.oi Vance for re-election, No risk ought to be inn. TUe return of Senator Vance is so vital for the best interests of the State assurance ought to be made doubly sure and his lriends everywhere ought to see to it that every Democratic camrtdate is an enthusiastic Vance man.
