EDITOR MoCUNE’S LETTER. It Indicates a Bbeak Between the Alliance and People’s Party. An important letter from Dr. McCune, editor of the official organ of the Farmer’s Alliance, was read at the meeting of the Central Labor Union, New York, Monday. The letter, wbioh was thought to indicate a break between tne Alliance and the Pi ople’s party, is in part as follows: “I believe the true interests of the farm ers and of the laborers are in harmony, and much good may be accomplished by securing a betteryundeistanding belween these two great cl. sses, and by co-operat-ing in many ways. T realize that the greatest obstacle to such a desirable condition of affair at thu time is the supposed partisan politics 1 connection of the Alliance, and I know that this has also been a great injury to the Allianoe. “But there is"a large majority of the Alliance who are making a brave and deteimined fight against the domination of any political party, and they are determined to preserve the Alliance, free fiom all political entanglements, las a fraternal and co-operative laborjunion.” The letter wound up by an appeal to the Central Labor Union for assistance in bringing about a better understanding between the rural and urban workers.
