1891.45 When the old master, who had, by holding five im-
portant offices in the Grange system, been able to hold jealously
to an independent course, was set aside, the new administration
adopted a rapprochement policy towards Evan Jones.46 Jones
misconstrued Long's letter suggesting a union,'47 and the con-
solidation under the Grange banner was delayed until May 27,
1893, after B. J. Kendrick had become Alliance president.48
The poorer farmers went with the People's Patty and the
well-to-do ones had become so disgusted with "orders"149"" that
only a few Alliancemen entered the remodelled Grange.'50 The
National Grange repudiated the consolidation terms in Novem-
ber, 1893, and the orders became again independent.'51 The
precipitate decline of both continued, leaving only twenty-seven
Granges and 1,478 members in December.1'52 In the middle
nineties the battle of the People's Party with Bourbon democracy
occupied the spotlight. Shaw in 1897 was trying to collect the
pieces of the farmer orders to dissuade them from making
nominations in 1898, in order that, as reborn Democrats, they
might "down this government of, for and by lawyers."'"3 By
the turn of the century the Alliance and its business enterprises
