OCALA, Fla, Dec. 4-Glimpses of
third party movement appeared at the AL
lance convention today. It is chiefly |
agltated by the Kansas Delegation. Gen. |
John 81. Rice, candidate for the Kansas
Senatorship, assisted by Captain Powers,
OF Indiana, is drawing up call to be |
| issued to the Farmers Alliance and all |
industrial unions of America, which fa-
vor the priciples of the St. Louis plat
form, to meet in convention in Cincin-
natl on the % of next February to con-
siier the third party, or the peoples par
ty movement. The name Of this new
party will be National party of Amer
lea" This call is not expected to be Is
sued until the close of the Ocala conyen-
ton. The effort seems to be to keep the
National Farmers Alliance from inaug-
uratlng the new party, and yet to make
it the main basis of the new national
party.

II About week ago there appeared il

L. Dispatch dated Atlanta, and heade(
Iol ho
le was made that $50, 900 had been paid TO
re the influence of alliance newspapers
le state and national, in behalf Of prom

IL Georgia. This was a terrible attack o
I'd Calhoun, Livingston and Macune. Sine
th that dispatch was brought to the motto
of interested parties they have been afte
ad its author Now they are about to tax
"a his scalp.
is The dispatch was traced to Washing
ng ton, from which place it was sent. Thi
lie morning it was thought that Mr.. Ri
tenhouse, President Polk's private secr'
tary, was the author, but further invest
CATION shows that he did not send th
