over thesiluation. Mr. Har

he is the nominee, to just a
houtthe exieut that 1 resi

defeat by Mr. Blaine's pecul- hinlv, ilt b...lore. but now
iur methods will place that
State in the certain demo
cratic column, and he has
power enough to see that the
man who snatched f.toui him
at the last minute that which
he had been foolish enough
to think was solely his per
sonal property, is hurt i n
other States. In other wordsj
hlaine secitftly opposed by
Harrison will be a much eas
ier niiiii to beat than Harri
son supported by Mr. Blaine
would be, The two :n e n
whom Mr. Harrison ougnt
to blame the most are Secre
tary Foster and Attorney
General Miller. They, by their
ill advised talkagainst hhiiiie
furnished the excuse for him
to resign, which lie was looking-
lor; but he would of course
have found some other ex
cuse if they had guarded their
tongues better.
Saintly Mi. Wana maker has

public life has been very un

time he rises to say to the
committee on Post offices of
the Housethat thestatemeiit

Samuel (i. Leake, of Philadelphia-,

Mr. Wsmainaker had after
making certain promises to
him concerning the erection
of an experimental pneumat

come interested, he believed,
in 7.000 .shares of stock
w h i e h another pneumatic
company had set. aside for
postoflice officials, and de
clined to fulfill his .promises,
was i:i true. He also informs
the committee that "I shall
be pleased to answer any call
that the eammittee desires
to make upon me, personally
or otherwise." Evil dispos

in ir that a woman paid 12.
50 a ;:ontii to anoth a' wo-
m;m, a relative of Chief 1 a k
Chili

chiefs to make pets of yonpr
and pretty ii Is lnnier tneui,
allowing their, to work or
nlav as thev inav feel disiios-
they have been told under
oath by ladies of undoubted
reputation. And these things,
calling themselves men arc
still allowed to draw salaries
from the Government. It is
not to be wondered at that
the people vf the country de
mand a change.
Mr. Harrison's alleged or
der to Federal officials to keep
away from Minneapolis must
have bien intended for mem
bers of the Cabinet only, as
nearly evety one of the chiefs
of the large Government bu
reaux are at the convention
shouting for Harrison. It is
believed t hat if such an order
was rewlly issued it was be
cause Mr. Harrison was a
fraid that more than one of
his cabinet might have gone
there in the interest of home
of his rivals.

In going off into the Peo

ally abandons tin; Alliance
and takes up polil ies.
If he hasn't been riding o
verthe count ry on Alliance
money while organizing this
political party, and il he isn't
still doing so, and if the Alli
ance hard-earnings haven't
been used to pay the expens
es of Alliance, delegates to so
called Alliance meetings call
en by Third party bosses tor
the sole purpose of being re
solved into a Third party
mass-meetings, then it would
b e interesting, indeed, t o
know wheie the money came
from.
We ure not criticizing the
Alliance but the Third party; j
and we assert our steadfast i
belief that the way in which
Allianceinen have been bled
und fleeced of their hard earn
ings in order that, a Third
party might be founded is a
species of bold cud shame
less r-jbbery that puts the
protective tariff to blushing
for its very innocence.
Whose money was used in
founding the Third party?
If our conclusions are wrong,
we would be glad to havethe

It is very interesting read
ing that 1 he Execut ive Hoard
of the Alliane, composed of
Mr. Alexander, President lint
ler and ot her g-ood Alliance
men, were so dissatisfied with
the politics of the Progres
sive Fanners as to bring a
bout a change in its relations
to the Alliance. Heretofore
it has been the Alliance or
gan, and every wot-1 contain
ed in it was greedily swallow
ed by Allianceinen. We had
some intimation that this
was on foot, and we believe
that it is but the beginning
of t he i nd with Col. I'olkand
his organ, for hereafter the
Progrressi ve Farmer will he
