A reporter of the Macon Tele-
graph met prominent mem
Der of the Farmers Alliance
at Macon, Wednesday. The reporter
stated that Col. LivingstOn's announcement
Of 10 nar n aNy 90 hna Of hie
election as president of the state alliance
had left the impression on the minds of the
general public that the alliance had Endorsed
him for the high office This impression
had been strengthened, too, by the fact that
during the seven or eight months that Col
Livingston was candidate for the office of
president of the alliance he had on more
than one occasion stated that he was
not a candidate for any political
office, his only ambition being
to further the reforms that the
alliance had inaugurated in the interest of
the farmer. When, after all this, ne was
elected president, and Immediately an
nounced his candidacy for the gubernator-
ial office, the presumption was that he had
been authorized by the alliance to do So
The gentleman replied as follows: "Col.
livingstons announcement gave grave
concern to the thinking members of the
order. just at present it is a serious mat
ter and may lead TO some complications.
Col. Livingston's action has certainly
placed the alliance in false
position. OF course the alliance has not
Endorsed him, but the time and manner of
his announcing himself and his subsequent
speech before the carpenters association.
which was strongly political one, would
seem TO authorizs outsiders to think SO.
You remember the case of ex- President
jackson, who was summarily dealt with
for attempting 20 use the order to further
his candidacy for congress in the Fourth
district. Ii is quite probable that Col. Liv-
ingston will be called upon TO withdraw
from the race for governor or resign the
office Of president Of the alliance.

uation, which proves that the country
