I hadbeena constant reader of the Towa Homestead fora number of years, whichis astrong allimce pay and also a non-pavtisan alliance paper, and [ thought with many othiers that the formation of the ailiance for the mutual beneit of the farmers, to study the privciplesof farming and the best methods of farming and all ine tevest involved in - and connected with favme ing, would certanly be kood thing, and also tobe interested unitedly upon any legisiation that might be for the interests of the farmer, And atthe tine | joined, and for some little time afterwards 1 had no idea whateverof itsassuming tho phase it has in this state 1 supposed thoy w nowination of such men theold parties and that they the hielp of the old_parties in into oftice, and while I wasa county alfianceas a delegate from our home allianee they solicited me o become i candi- date.” L did not wishto doso, and, in fact, declined, but they insisted and | donsented.

We had the county alli- ance and passed resolutions 1 could accept, did aceept, appoin ted a meeting two weeks at which the candidates were sele and all preliminary steps taken to t them to the conventions, the republican convention in particular. But when we met in that con- n two weeks later ten Knights of Labor te invited to come in and act with us, and the first thing done in that convention was to vote down our resolution, and pass a resolu- tionof the St Louis alliance-which, as [ will show you later ou, was the resolution of thesouthern alliance, They also passed a resolution tnul any individual who sceepted a nomination through the old pactics, could not receive the support of the alliance, I was present at the alllanceaud staseu shaj it that was the casc 1 could nos didate. 1said whe: §ofued fhe: 1 declaration of principles dectred that b would not interfere with my political or religious views, and I contended” that they had justas much rightto say thatl must leave the Methodist chured, of “which T have been a member forty years, asto say that I must leave the republican party. 1t wi ¢ honorable privileze to vote for General John C. - Fremont when he ran for president in 1836, and 1t has been my priy lege eversince that to voto for every repubs lican president that has been clected, | plause].

T know in our county alliance when this question was being discussed there was one party on this side of the house favor- ing one side and another party on the other side of the house favoring the other, just as far apurt as they could be.
