WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-W. s. McAllister,
OF Mississippi, chairman of the national
executive committee of the anti-sub- treas
ury Alliance. who has been making a tour
of the States where his party IS strongest,
found awaiting him here letters from his
fellow-committeemen urging him to post
pone the date for a national convention
called to meet at Memphis. Tenn, Dec. 16.
This call was issued from Indianapolis upon
the refusal of the Supreme Council, after q
lengthy debate, to receive the protest Of
the anti-sub-treasury party and make the
same part of the records. 1t had pre-
viOusly been determined. in the event of
such action by the Supreme Council, to per-
feet q distinct organization with the object
of restoring the Farmers Alliance to Its
original state of fidelity TO its constitution.
until later date was acted upon by Chair
man McAllister, who tonight issued the
following:
To the Members Of the Antisub. treasury Alliance:
In obedience to requests from many members
OF tne anti tisub-treasury Alliance. the national
convention called to meet at Memphis, Tenn,
Dec To- Is hereby postponed to q date which
Will be hereafter named.
W. 8. McALLIsTER,
Chairman OF the Committee.
The reason for this action was given by
Mr. McAllister in an interview as he was
taking the train tonight for his home in
Canton, Miss. when our call was issued"
be said. "the Supreme Council had taken
no action on the third-party question.
subsequently it appointed twenty tive del
egates to the thIrd-party conference set for
Feb. SS at st. Louis Mo. Notwithstanding
this action the National Alliance leaders
are denying that it is their purpose to turn
the Farmers Alliance into political party.
The result of the st. Louis conference will
determine their real purpose in the prem
ses. and hence the propriety of postpOning
our national convention

BLANCHARD'S RESOLUTION.
It Causes IntelSe Indignation Emlas The
PeOpl8 Of New Hamp,hire.

CONCORD On. H., Jan. 12.-The action of
Mr.. Blanchard of Louisiana in offering
in the House of Representatives to-
day resolution calling for Federal inter-
ference in the present Senatorial con-
test in New Hampshire may have
been instigated in a spirit of mis-
chief to offset the cry of South
ern 0utrages, but it has been taken
seriously by the people up here and has
aroused an intense state of feeling. Even
the Democrats are disguised, because they
fear evil will come of it, or in alternating
from their support many of the State
Fighters. Appreciating this, Senator
Chandler to-day at the opening
of the Legislature came out
in fiery public announcement OF Mr.. Blanch-
ard, whom he charged with intentl OnsllY
offering the resolution with the hope of de-
tracing pubic attention from Southern
Bill. He declared that Federal interference
would never be tolerated in New Hamp-
shire, aud between Louisiana and MaSsa-
chusetts there could be no comparison. He
declared that it was impudence for q
member Of Congress to charge fraud upon
one State when in his own a political cam-
paign of any kind was marked by path Of
burning homes and slaughtered negroes
His remarks have been highly commended.
No action has been taken yet in the SeRa-
