None western states were represented by authority of the state Thes leader in the so-called conven- tion, the men of brains and reputa- tion, were opposed almost to a man to organizing a national party at this time, that time is not propitious nor does the occasion demand a third party. But the rabble, the mob had but one idea, but one purpose toaccomplish, not the good of the different orders they pretend to represent, but to forma party and rush into politics, regardless of consequences. If the demand for a party had been gener al among all the labor organizations backed by the solid alliance there might be some significance in this action. In an editorial of May 14, in the St. Louis Journal of Agriculture, under the heading: “Demands for a Third Party Vastly Overestimat ed,” its editor says: “The present demand for such a movement among farmers does not seem to be great. Not a single al liance president, national or state, (except Kansas) bas endorsed the Cincinnati convention officially, and the farmers’ orders are not therefore committed to it.” President Hall of the F. & L. U., in his interview printed in the St. Louis Republic, replying to the in- terrogation: “Do you look with fa- ver upon the third party movement within the alliance?” had this to say: “I do not for two reasons. First, because our constitution is directly against partisan pelitical action by the alliance; and second, because I should greatly prefer a more speedy remedy than a long aud tedious one (if one at all) that would arise through the organization of a third political party. Besides, auy polit- ical party composed of one class of people must of a necessity reflect the interest of that class, or what they concieve to be their interests, at the expense of other classes, thereby violating the principles of justice and no political party can long exist in our government that does so." That is just the rock upon which the third party skiff will be wrecked. ‘The interests of the farmers’ alliance in the south and west and the labor organizatiers in the north and east are so diversified that the mixing of oil and water is an easy matter com pared with amalgamating the two. ‘The farmer wants to employ his help just as cheap as he possibly can and get the very biggist price possible for his produce, while the labor or- | ganizations want the fewest obtainable to constitute a days labor, high wages and cheap bread. Can | interests be more directly opposite, and yet you talk of uniting the two ou one platform.
