The patient bad been lying seriously ill at his private residence for ten L. L. POLK. daya. The result of a consultation of physicians was his removal to the Garfield Hospital, where an operation was deemed tho only means of saving his life. Ho became unconscious, from which condition he never rallied, and it was decided not to perform the operation. When the end came Mrs. Polk, who had just arrived in the city, was at his bedside. Telegrams from all parte of the South wero received inquiring after Mr. Polk's condition, and he had fc-een daily visited by prominent men of the Farmers" Alliance. Lconidie L. Polk was a native of Anson County, North Carolina, and was born on April 24, 1837. He was a descendant ot the Mecklenburg family bearing that name, and was related to Colonel Thomas and William Polk, brave soldiers of the revolution, and James K. Polk. President of the United States. His parents died while ho was a youth. He was married when 21 years of age, and was Eioon after nominated and elected to the lower house of the State Legislature, serving at the regular and two extra sessions m 1860 and 1861. He 311 Uu ted In the Confederate army aS a private, declining the offer of a captaincy, and served in the Twenty-fifth and Fortythird North Carolina regiments of infantry till the autumn of 1864, at which time ho became the army ce.ndidaUi for the Legislature, and was elected with practical unanimity. In 1865, against Mb expressed desire, he was chosen a member ot the State Constitutional Convention. In 1877 be was elected Commissioner of Agriculture for his State. He had meantime continued on his (arm and left it with great reluctance to attend to his olHcial duties. In every instance tho offices bestowed upon him sought the man, not the matt the office He was one of the oarliest advocates ot the establishment ot a. department of agriculture. In 1880 ho began the publication ot the Progressive Farmer, and at the same time began the organization ot farmers' clubs, and soon had 600 chartered and in active working order. He also advocated the establishment of on agricultural and and mechanioal college and his plan was finally adopted by the State. He brought tho alliance before the people and at its organization in North Carolina he beoame its State Secretary and through hie influence the fivrraers' clubs previously organized by hire, beoame a part of the new organization. He was the first Vice President, of the alllanoe in 1887, and in 1889 was chosen a delegate to the national convention of the order held In St. Louis, iu December, 1889, and took an active part in its deliberations. When tbe Interstate Farmers' Association, composed of delegates from all cotton States, was organized in 1887, Colonel Poll: was eleoted President by acclamation. He was twice ro-olected to that position without contest. At the convention in St Louis in Deeember, 188 0, Col Polk was chosen President of the National Farmers' Alliance, and held that position continuously up to the date ot his death. Under his management tho ordeer had a marvelous growth, especially in the South and West, and its influence was shown by the election ot member? ot Congress in North Carolina, Georgia, Kansas and Minnesota, and has made great progress in other States, notably Illinois and Indiana, where in a number cf districts It holds the balance of power. Colonel Polk possessed great personal magnetism, and was an excellent organizer, a good parliamentarian, and a pleasing public speaker. He was in the farmers1 movement from no motives of personal' ambition or profit, for be sacrificed much more than he ever could hope to gain from the success of his ideas and plans. He was earnest, enthusiastic, and sincere, laboring with all his energies for the good of lilsi fellow farmers and the nation at large. If ho had lived he would undoubtedly have been the candidate of the Alliance for President ot the United Sl ates at the election in November next. The funeral was held at Ealelgh, N.
