The declaration on the plat foriti embraces essentially the great principles enunciated by our order at St. Louis in 1SS9, at Ocala in lSflO .a ad in Indianapolis 1S91 . We there fore heartily and unanimously gave our endorsement to these principles, impressed with the solemn convic tion that their enactment into law and the faithful enforcement of the law will bring relief to our distressed industrial people and inure to the common good of all interests and classes. We earnestly appeal to all Alliancemen and all patriots, of whatever calling, to aid us in elect ing to office only such men as will faithfully execute the laws." $1.50 PER ANNUM. Col. Bni'swyn Explains. t Henderson, N. C, July 30th, '92. Mr. Editor: It is much to my regret that in publishing my address at Morehead, the printer omitted the name of Oxford from among the list of towns in the State that tobacco has materially aided. Your Mr. W. C. Reed, who was present and took a very prominent part in the meet ing, will bear witness that Oxford was mentioned. It was an error on the printer's jart. I did not see the proof before its publication, or the oversight would have been correct ed. I could not truthfully say that to bacco has been the sole cause of Ox ford's prosperity. To do this would be to deprive her of her glorious prestige as one of the most intellect ual centres in the State. I have too much admiration for the indomita ble pluck and progressive spirit of your people to omit an opportunity for doing them honor. I was a stu dent at Mr. Horner's and have the liveliest remembrances of nfy obliga tions to him and the good people of Oxford, and will always be glad to7 do them a service. Please do me the favor to say the omission was an error of the printer and very much regretted by me. Yours very truly, Wm. H. S. Burgwyn. To my Customers and the Public Gen erally.
