Keeping Quiet on Hall Firing Stirs Missouri Alliance View
Frank McGrath state president of the Farmers Alliance says Hall’s firing in Missouri changes little for state politics. He doubts a strong third party in Missouri due to big cities and a solid Democratic organization. Dr. McLallin of the Advocate says the same medicine will be used against other opponents of the third party, notably W. S. McAllister of Mississippi, and that the Ocala platform and subtreasury plan are lasting. He notes north and south alliances understand each other and that the southern wing will decide after the national meeting in 1892. The next election will test the alliance’s course, while those opposing Bs rank are to be cashiered.
