Farmers Alliance Agents in Conncil

Farmers Alliance Agents in Connect
RICHMOND. VA, May IA
conference of the business agents
of the Farmers Alliance of the
State was held here to-day. The
body is composed of eighty or
ninety agents, representing prob
ably nearly all of the counties
of the State. 1t was called by
George Chrisman,. chairman
of the State executive committee,
to consider only matters of bust
ness of interest to the order.
Major Page, of Prince
George county, q member OF the
State committee and one of the
leading members of the order in
the State, was also present.
When asked what he thought
of the National Union ConfeI-
ence. now in session at Cincin-
natl, Major Page said that the
Farmers Alliance had nothing
to do with that organization.
The Cincinnati conference, he
said, was called by Ralph
Beaumont, who was some time
ago prominently connected with
national labor organizations.
The effort to get up third par
tv movement Major Page did
not think would meet with any
encouragement among the con-
SENTATIVE elements West and
North. In Virginia and the
other Southern States it would
not have any friends. There
are conservative men at the
head of the organization III this
State.

Hon. S. B. Elkins was born in Zanes-
vile, Ohio, Sept. 81, 1841. When he was
about year of age his father removed to
the western frontier and settled at West
port, Mo. Mr.. Elkins received his
education in the public schools and
at the Missouri state university, at
Columbia, and graduated in the class of
1860. Hon. T. B. Catron, of Santa Fe,
was one of his classmates.
After being admitted to the bar he came
to New Mexico from his native state in
1863 and very soon mastered the Spanish
language. He was elected to the legisla-
ture from Dona Ana county in 1864 and
1865 and after this term expired he located
in Santa Fe. He served as attorney gen.
eral of the territory in 1867, and some six
months later was commissioned by Presi-
dent Johnson United States attorney for
New Mexico.
IIe was elected delegate to the 43d
congress as Republican by handsome
gress by still larger majority. He was
the founder of that fourishing institution
the First National bank here and its
first president, and remained as such for
twelve years. He left the territory in
1875, becoming a resident of West Wiz
ginia,
Prior to coming to New Mexico lie, in
1862 and 5, organized and was elected
captain of company of Missouri volun-
teers, and Judge H. L. Waldo, of this
city, was corporal of his company.
Mr.. Elkins was very popular man 10
New Mexico and during his twelve years
residence in the territory was without
doubt its most influential citizen.
His record as an official and delegate
to congress proves him to be remarkably
brainy, energetic, hardworking and sue
cessful man, while his great ability in
business matters is fully conceded.
Mr.. Elkins is a son-in-law OF one of the
most remarkable men produced by West
Virginia, ex-senator Davis, and though
they do not agree politically, the business
and family relations between these two
men are closer than is usually the good
fortune of men to enjoy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE speaker
has commenced making out his list of
committees. He had to get somewhere
by himself and work on them. 1t is
probable that the work will be completed
earlier than is generally expected. The
character of the committee on rules has
not yet been discovered and the PROPOSE
ton to make it up without reference to
chairmanships OF ways and means and
appropriations is still under discussion,

that this plan will prevail.

mlttee, and in that event Mr.. Hurd, of
