octavo pages. Itets Vput with' a
general, statement of the grievance,
which occupies about - one-fourth; of.
the .document. In this- statement
are such phrases -as the ; following :
"Declarations of Independence from

must be supplemented by, a Decla
ration of Independence from the
frightful - power-; of - consolidated
wealth." 'We consider violence in
settling disputes as -unworthy of a

The document then goes on with'a

WASHINGTON LETTER. y
From ourRegular .Correspondent.
. . . Washington, July 24, 1831r
;Mr; JF.' Tillman, who, ' with Dr.
Macune "and' Alonzo' Wardell, is
charged with' looking after the exe
cutive business vof the 'v. National
Farmers Alliance, is in town. :IIe
haa just returned from -Indianapolis,
where he has been on- official .busi
ness.1-in answer to a-; question : m
said : "It is "highly probable , that
ntfianapolis will be chosen for . our
National convention on thc17th of
next November. ; The-date was fixed
at the Ocala meeting, but the ; selec
tion of the place was.left tq the ex
ecutive board. I think, we shall
choose Indianapolis because of its
central locution,' and because there
will b& held in that city at the same
time the convention, of the Farmers
Mutual Benefat Association, which
s a very strong agricultural order in
Illinois and other Northern: States.
Probably a consolidation may be ef
fected by the AlHanco with that or
ganization at the coming convention,
Being asked whether this convention
would decide upon the propriety -of
nominating and supporting a Presi
dential ticket Mr. - TilluiRn replied :
Certainly not. The Alliance is not
a political body. It cannot go into
partisan politics.- Its members may
vote as t'.iev choo90, with either of
the old parties or a new one, but it
doosn't hold meetings to" set politi
cal machinerv in- motion."
Mr. W. F. Thomas, of Topeka,
Kans., who is a railroad lawyer and
not at all in avmoathv with the Al
liance movement in his State, stated
here that he regarded it as - certain
that the Alliance .would support a
Presidential ticket of their own next
vear, and that unless a great "change
of sentiment takes place

that
will probably carry the State.
In a conversation between a num
ber of prominent Southern Demo
crats here, among whom where Ex-
Seuator Hampton and Representa
tive Oates, it was: admitted that
South Carolina, North Carolina, Ala
bama and Georgia would in all prob
ability cast their electorial votes for
a third party, if the Farmers'- Alli
ance, should formally - endorse the
third party movement. Some of the
gentlemen preser t thought that it
should be the policy of the Demo-1
cratic party in the South to concili-
ate and as far as possible work with
the Alliance, but Mr. Oates and s.ev.
eral others advocated making war
upon the Alliance and everything it
advocates, except the free coinage
of silver. .
The latest move in the Ohio Cam
paign is much talked ot here, inas
much as it involves a member of the
Cabinet and presumably the' entire
administration, and it is also . taken
as an acknowledgement that the Al-
iance opposition to Senator Sher
man is too strong to be overcome.
The move referred to is the semi-of
ficial announcment that, in case of
the withdrawal of Senator' Sherman,
Secretary Foster is to become a can
idate for the Senate in opposition to
Gov. Foraker, that is, if the Republi
cans succeed in electing a majority
of the legislature
In spite of the most positive de
nials the Blaine people . still insist
that many of the outrageous stories
about Mr, Blaine's condition which
have recently appeared in the news
papers, have been originated "or in
spired by friends of Mr, Harrison,
'or the purpose of killing ' off "Mr
Blaine as a possible candidate, No
one charges that. Mr. Harrison, who
is generally believed to have had
perfect - understanding about 'next
year with Mr. Blaine, has had . any
thing to do with this dirty business,
but it must.be confessed that he has
some very indiscreet; friends whose
recent .actions cause them to be un
der suspicion if they are not acually
guilty. - , :
The reorganization, of the Post-

Lady In Far off China. .
. The following letter has just been
received by Capt. and Mrs. Free
land lrom their daughter, Mrs, Lula
Freeland Bryan, of Chinkang, China :
"We are still comfortable and happy r
I don't know that " you ; have heard
much through the papers,"' but there
have been exciting times' in ( entral
China during the 1 last few - months.
A.-" great' ' many of -the Catholic
churches have been burned. The up
rising, it isr said, is to get the Chi
nese government into trouble. The
rioters burn houses' and kill foreign
ers,1 thus getting the Chinese govern
ment into trouble with foreign "gov
a - - mi ". " . -
eriimemn. ,iuere is a Dand or socul
ciety of men calledjKu-lan-whey, who
are causing all this trouble," and in
island stations where - no gunboats
can go they take advaatage of the
situation. - - ' " .
l he Catholic church here - would
have been burned but for the protec
tion oi a gunboat. When - a riot
gots started there is no telling where
they will stop.. The t officials ' (Chi
nese) are doing-everything they can
for protection. Two foreigffentle
men, one a missionary and the other
a custom house officer were stoned
to death in one inland station.- Both
of them . were Englishmen. There
were three, ladies and four children
iu the. place, but they escaped rafter
very' rough treatment to a boat which
happened to be passing. These la'
dies husbands were not at home
which was very fortunate : for them
as me rioters lOOKeu lor tnem and
would have probably killed Hhem if
they could have been found." ;They
let the ladies - escape, not because
they were women and defenceless.
but they thought they were harm
less. While they were hunting for
th?. men and stealing from the mis
sion houses, the'ladies -fled to an of
ficial's place, but were kicked but,
then they went to another who was
humane enough to take them in, bat
the place was soon set on fire and
they fled again.- By ' paying some
Chinese, who lived in a small straw
hut,-they were concealed in the back
part until they could get - to - the
steamer. The riot happened 'in . the
night and the ladies fled just as they
left their beds In their night clothes.
We hope now that things are getting
quiet. ,
Some think there will- be war be
tween the French and Chinese, bnt
China is not . going to fight.- Ens
and does not seem N in ; a fighting
mood. She wants China's trade. It
will probably end in paying' enor
mous sums for the mischief done.
These troubles are not going to cease
so long as the people are so oppressed
by the officials. - v - " ', ';
It is very dry and the people are
suffering for rain. : We are going on
with our - work in Chinkiang. The
chapel is opened as : usual- and - the
rnjople generally seem friendly. The
Chinese themselves are afraid of this
kn-lan-whey. - For the present Mr.
Bryan is not going to his inland sta
tion, lle.does not like to leave ns
alone. "I am so dreadful, anxious
