LEWISTON LETTER. i FARMERS ALLIANCE MEETING HUT j ? .it's sPFKnurrTTivr, akkiiav. r Thp Fsrmpfs Alliance had. what s ' . ! t Imf nt I ornnH fpQtiv! here Iwst. ! Thursday, the 13th. There is no doubt about the dinner they furnished being the finest public dinner that: fwas ever given in this, place. The tables were supplied witu an aoun- i i dacce. and much to spare of the nec- i essities and luxuries of a farmers dinner and all nicely prepared. The whole arrangements for the dinner and speaking were as good as they could make them. There were about 1 f,,ur !,u"d"'1 a,ui Btly ! ent, including men women an.i chil- i ..-.ill i (lren totn wiuie asa coiorea,, aDai 1 every body was invited to partake ,,f; the dinner, though some preferred to . ' . . ... dine quietlv : at borne to eating at me tune quieiiv -: j crowded tables. 15v some of the AI- h- .1 i " . i liaoce the crowd was stated to uum- ber one thousand and over but the beit judges of crowds contended that 450 would embrace everybody present and about one third of this number represented tine strength. of the Alliance present. Marian lhit'er 1 of the "Caucasian" w,as the orator 0f the day. It was not our privi lege to be present, but every body whom we heard speak of his-speech said it was an ordinary allair, sim- plv a rehash of old questions, and' but a poor rehash at Jtliat. Ve heart! only one person speak in praise of the speech. We learn that Butlers harangue was lengthy and some- what monotonous, considering that lie came so far to deliver it. llle abused no body in particular, unless it was the Editor of the Windsor Ledger, for something the Ledger had sid about, the great State Alliance T am." He spoke in the interest of the Alliance and the Caucassian. and ridiculed the Democrats to some slight extent, where lie could find a chance to say anything against them. I didn't learn that lie said anything j against the Republicans. It seems ! that his -visit -profited but little, ex- cept to some hungry darkies who got 1 '.- xMIiancc t and to ttie 4Caucassi:inM that received several "251' t-ubser-uers". Well he has been here and hud his say and we like him just the same as we did hi fore, he came, no better, no. worse. We believe the Alliance, was originated' for a good iMiriiAeM nnd wn-i lllPtl Wfirf liV of TO- spect. but now we regard the Alliance j that'dreadful disease, consumption, and Thirdpartyism as synonomous j unlil at Ias.t surrounie(i by her many terms, and fear that the workings of j ,Vien(1Sf 6he succumbed UUhat dread ihe Alliance is too much mixed 1 ,ilsc.iSe.
