Special Correspondent of The Democrat. Washington, D. C-i Sept. 21. The old republican standbys id Massachusetts are very much disgruntled at the nomination of young Mr. Allen. They see themselves in the near future deprived of political power and leadership,! and driven from office as well. It is aj dreary vista for them to look down. Mr. Crapo has been seeking the Governorship for many years and his failure this time makes it very certain that he will neter enjoy the dis tinction of governing the old common wealth. It is more than likelv that with Hoar, Dawes, Crapo and a number of others of the ancien regime either luke warm or actually opposine the ticket that Governor Russell Will be re-elected and Massachusetts almost safely placed in the democratic column.

He was nominated on his' soldier record. It appears that he served aj few months at the close of the war in a Missouri regi ment, and that without jany distinction. Since thht time he has trid several things, farming among them, biit was always a failure. He , will probably fail to be elected Lieutenant Governor of Iowa. Governor Campbell returned to Ohio from the seacoast with irenewed health and vigor and opened hs campaign in a splendid speech. He showed the iniqui - i ties of the McKimley bill and also how Major McKinley, the author of the bill, was attempting to dodgi a discussion of it which would not be permitted. He then showed that whilej McKinley was now so bitterly denouncing silver coin age, he had for years been an advocate of it and voted for the bill passed by the last Congress. Quite a , number of uis Unguis hed leaders have- gone to Ohio to assist Governor Campbell in his canvass, and it' is probable tnat iully as many republican speakers frpm other States will assist McKinley.

The effort to do so will be a sufficient cause for war even, if it could not be presented in any other way. The New York Wprld made a canvass of 'he delegates to the Republican con vention at Rochester, New York. Out of a little over seven hundred delegates, six hundred and thirty-nine of the dele gates expressed their intention to sup port Blaine as against sixteen for Harri son. It is said that Harrison was ex ceedingly angry when he read that report, and if he had not been a Presby terian he would probably have said some words that would not look weli in print. He inveighed against the ingratitude of New York Republicans in failing to recognize the great good he had done to the party Nothing that has occurred during the administration has done so much to embitter him and make him see exuetly how small he is in comparison with Blaine and other men of the party, not even the letter of Senator Ingalls in which he advised a friend of his to vote for some small man like Harrison with out a record. The managers of the Chicago Fair propose to come to congress and ask for a loan of $5,000,000. It is unfortunate that they cannot ask Mr. Springer, the Democrat of the house, and a prominent one, from Illinois, to assist them in securing a loan. But Springer is pledged in advance against any such action on his part: When the Centennial Expo sition, of Philadelphia, asked for a loan of a million and a half dollars from the 44th congress Mr. Springer opposed it and we quote from his speech on that occasion: "While I am anxious for the full suc cess of the Centennial Exhibition, at the same time I regard the bill as simply ta proposition to place in the treasury of the finance board $1,500,000 to be divided among the stockholders after this exhi bition is completed. If we pass this bill, they will have $1,500,000 more to divide; if we do not pass it they will have $1,500,000 less. We have farmed out this exhibition to a corporation which is rich enough to pay its own way, and is to receive all the advantages and receipts of the exhibition." Philadelphia offered all the guarantees that Chicago can for the repayment of the money and yet the government hwl to bring suit againt the Philadelphia corporation before it got its $1,500,000 back. Of course after what Mr. Springer said on this occasion he cannot with ary decency ask congress to loan Chicago $5,000,000. .In fact he will have to op pose it and thus the Illinois delegation will be divided on the subject.

Fifty Members Expected to Guard the Farmers' Interests at the Next Session An Outline of the Program. Washington Poet. By a visit to the Farmer's Alliance headquarters in thU city yesterday, some interesting information was ootained in regard to the program of that body dur ing the next session of congress. In ad dition to the headquarters being located here and the principal officers of the Al liance Meing on hand most of the time. there will be a committee especially charged with looking out for the inter ests of the Alliance before Congress. The Alliance claims to have fifty-five men in the next house who will vote with it on all the measures which it may see fit to bring forward. It also claims four senators Peffer, of Kansas; Kyle, of South Dakota; Irby, of South Caroli na, and Vance, of North Carolina. It Claims Vance because he .was elected after the legislature of his St at a had passed a resolution that no man could be chosen senator until he agreed to a program which was practically that of the Alliance. Mr. Vance having agreed to those resolutions, the Alliance now claims him as its own. At the next session the sub-treasury bill as it" was introduced in the last con gress, will not make its appearance. That measure, they say at Alliance head quarters, has been repudiated by both houses of Congress, and will, for that reason, not be resurrected. A bill con structed, however, upon lines similar to it, and embodying the same principle, will be introduced into both houses and pushed to a vote. Exactly what changes will be made in the original sub-treasury bill have not yet been determined upon. The Stanford land loan bill will not be touched by the Alliance, whose leaders are very much put out that the people think the Stanford bill finds favor with them. It is said at Alliance headquarters that that bill is only designed to help people who already have a fair share of this world's goods. A bill beaiing upon the same subject will, it is true, be intro duced under Alliance auspice.s. It will provide for the relief of the agricultural population of the United States and for j the promotion and encouragement of agriculture. Its main feature will pro vide that an' citizen who owns and re sides upon any tract'of land containing not less than ten nor more than 320 acres, and who has at least one-half of that tract in actual Jpultivation, shall be entitled to apply for and receive from the trcttsury of the United- States, one half the assessed value of the land and the improvements on it. The loans are to be for not less than five nor more happy faculty of putting himself and Us . . 01 1 : ncombe County Teachers Asio- ... ciation. Injkeeping with the plan of the W. N. C.

He is president of the Arkan sas Pass Improvement Company, whih corporation owns a body of land on Ar kansas Pass, and got an act through congress by which the company was al lowed to do such work as was necessary to provide a deep water entrance into the bay. The land of the company was - 1 1 advertised extensively in the Northern papers and purchases were made to tbe extent of $2,000,000 on the . written pledge of the company that bona fide work on the deepening of the chamel should be commenced in May, 1891. No work has been done and yet the compa ny is endeavoring to collect the notes which have fallen due on the land. The holders of these notes refused, and vry properly, to pay unless the channel i9 deepened. The first sum paid was more than the value of the land they pur chased. . 1 Light rains fell on Saturday and Sunday, followed by clear, warm weather, which has been beneficial to all crops and for all kinds of farm work. Cotton is open ing more rapidly, though picking has not become general. Farmers have been veryjbusy during the week saving fodder, curing hay, seeding oats, and preparing soil for wheat. Tobacco curing progres sing rapidly. Another week of such weather is worth thousands of dollars to the farmers in the State. The prospects are for continued fine weather next week. satisfaction. J.

Another measure the passage of which the Alliance will demand is a free coin age bill. These three measures are the ones in which it will take the most in terest. But other bills will come from its hand. It will have introduced a bill providing for government control of railroads and telegraph systems. In re gard to the railroad and telegraph com panies; the Alliance is misunderstood, it is said; at its headquarters. It is not, as is generally Supposed, in favor of gov ernment ownership of railroads and the telegraph. It simply wants the govern ment to control them. The Alliance will not bring forward any tariff bill. It will content itself with demanding the equalization of the tariff so that it will bear upon all alike. It will, however, put forward bills to abolish the national banking system. The above furnishes an outline of the A11inrp'a nrncrram before the next con- . - 1 o ? gress.
