THE ALLIANCE - INDEPENDENT. Wind 31ills and Politics. The following .letter will b3 interest ing from several points of view. In tho first plac3 it gives a glimpse of political changes in the south. In the next place it shows how the southern delegites to the Omaha convention, used their eyes while they were in the west. And again it shows' tha western yfirois can get business if they will put their "ads"' in The Alliance-Inde- PEJfDENT. The letter was shown us by Mr. Humphrey, the manager of tho Chase Manufacturing company, in this city. Here is tho letter: Wkightsvjlle, Ga.. July 19, 1892. Tho Chase Mf'g Co.. Gentlemen: Your ad. has been noticed in the Alliance-Independent handed to me by Dr. A. I. Haines who was a delegate to the Ouia- ' ha convention. So you c :n readily see I am an Alliance man and people's par ty to tho backbone. But it s pos lble I am a little premature. Your company may be "republican or democratic;. Well in telling you how I got you. d. I simply turned it in as a joke, bu I am what I am and have said it. Aiid I am glad to say I believe the smth. wi 1 go people's party. You never saw such an increase since tho 'Omaha convention and the glorious o d wes: can rely upon the south. We are for the upbuilding of the people tho working men as well as the money iron. That is tho trouble. The old parties have long ago laidisido all thought of the poor and legislate entirely for tho money powers. But a bright day is dawning and you will see this government come and the poor will be respected. But that is not b 'siness. You do not want to hear- mo talk politics. I have thought about this a great deal we have no wind mills in our county, but i believe there will be in a few months all over tne county. Our dele gates are telling about seeing them out west and I heard a number of people sdy they wanted them. I have looked at the cut of your mUls as shown in the Alliance-Independent and I know can sell a great many in the county. Now so far as your mil1 is concerned, if it is as cheap as any good mill, you could send me a s unple mill. I could put it up on my place and exhibit it to the people as they come to town acd take orders for same, and deliver about November or October or September us they may desire. 1 believe I can sell forty or iifty mills by fall." Very Respectfully, J. It. R013EKTS Tho Republican State Convention The republic ins met in state conven tion in Lincoln August 4. The eve ning of the 3rd was devoted to a grand rally at the state house square where McKinley addressed several thousand people.
