Under the green foliage of the tall spreading oaks on the court house square the Executive Committee of Wayne county Farmers' Alliance liad erected a stand and seats, and about 11 o'clock Col. Polk, President' of the National Farmers' Alliance anO Industrial Union, was conducted to the stand amid many demonstrations of applause. He said he was at home and needed no intro duction and in the speech he said.- "One of the troubles is that farmers have not attended to their business as voters. You are working to-day simply for ex istence. Is this as God intended it? The movement of the Alliance will go on, no matter what becomes of the lead ers." He denied being an aspirant for the Presidency, and declared that he now held the greatest office in the United States. He stood upon every one of the Ocala demands. Those who wish to oppose any., principle of the Alliance will have to get out and join the enemy. "If you wish to get the Sub-Treasury bill out of politics, he said, get something else that will give relief. Until something better is done we will stand by the Sub-Treasury plan, world without end. If the Third party is to be established in the South it will be because of the domineering, intoler- ant and area.sonable action of the poli ticians of our party. The Alliance is for its principles and will favor any man who is with it and oppose any one who is against it." At 12::)0 Congressman Thos. E. Wat son, of Georgia, arrived, and was intro duced to the audience by Presidert Polk. His speech was strong and pointed.
