Cotton Growers Convention Organizes for National Scope
In Montgomery Alabama a cotton growers convention formed a national organization to protect planters. A committee on statistics was created to gather data on cotton use and prices over ten years. Resolutions backed reducing acreage, promoting cereals, factory tax exemptions, and immigration. Delegates from southern states elected officers and approved a Cotton Wanters' Association plan with anti option and tax measures. The vote tallied across districts showed broad support amid political commentary on Populism and party shifts.

A Word to The Populists on Reform and Reversal
The populists faced a mixed result last Tuesday as Republicans gained control of both houses while some voters backed reform rhetoric. The piece questions whether populist support truly advances the public good or merely strengthens Republican power and warns that opposing the Democratic platform risks undoing reforms and aiding the GOP. It calls for Populists to rejoin the Democratic Party if they seek reform and oppose Republican oppression.
