FARMERS' ALLIANCE
An Active Canvass to Be Made Everywhere.
PROMINENT SPEAKERS ENGAGED
Objects of the Alliance to Be Made Known by Speakers, Lecturers and Canvassers in Every State of the Union—An Active Campaign Laid Out and Already Begun—Other Washington News.

WASHINGTON, June 8.—Col. L. L. Polk, president of the National Farmers Alliance, and Congressman Jere Simpson left Saturday evening for La Crosse, Wis., to attend a convention of the different industrial organizations of that state, which meets Tuesday for the purpose of uniting with the National Alliance as one working body. After the organizations of the Alliance is completed, they will make several speeches in that state, and then proceed to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, where mass meetings have been arranged by the Alliance leaders of those states, to discuss the principles of the order. President Polk says: "Every state in the Union will be actively canvassed by the best talent in the Alliance in the way of speakers, lecturers and canvassers, who will fully explain the objects of the Alliance and what will be asked in the way of state and National legislation." President Polk has arranged through his forty state Alliance presidents to have mass meetings at several points in each of the forty states during the next four months with a view of accomplishing the greatest amount of work in the shortest possible time. He will have hundreds of speakers at work at the same time throughout the entire Union, educating, as he says, the masses to the Alliance cause before the meeting of the Fifty-second congress. By the time the National convention meets in November, he thinks the Alliance will be fully posted as to what strength the order will have as a presidential and congressional factor in 1892. President Polk has taken the field in person, and will visit every state from Maine to the Pacific coast.
