NO THIRD TICKET IN LOUISIANA.
The Farmers Alliance Will Act Within the
Democratic Party's Limits.

New ORLEANS, August 5.-Itis now
euident that the State Farmers Alii-
ance in session at Lafayette will not fa-
vor the third party movement or put
an Alliance ticket in the field for the
State election. j minority fayors this,
but the President of the order and two
thirds ofthe delegates believe in acting
inside the Democratic party. 1t is
probable, however, that the Alliance
will formally suggest the name of its
President, Capt. T. s. Adams, for
Governor, subject to the approval of
the Democratic State Convention.
The movement for third party was
by the State Alliance lecturer, G,lice,
and supported by the delegates from
the northwestern parishes The farmers
also resolved to fight the lottery COM
pany and vote against the extension of
its charter, but refused to approve the
strong resolutions adopted by some of
the Alliances declaring for revolution.
if necessary, to drive the lottery from
the State.

LET THE DISCUSSION GO on.

We confess that we do not admire
the Alliance plan of fendorsing ascheme,
and then going before the country with
the announcement that discussion IS
now in order. But let discussion go on.
Ifit is conducted in the proper spirit,
and with the desire to reach the truth,
good must result. Already the good
result of the free discussion IN the
newspapers Of the sub-treasury scheme
is-beginning to be felt.
The leaders themselves are not so
much welded to the plan. Livingstone
of Georgia, proposes modification OF
it, and even President Stokes IL his
speech at Prosperity, said: 1.-THE ALI
ance does not claim that it will have
the sub-treasury ware house or nothing
We saw if that is not sound, if that IS
not the best, why give US something
better. We will take it, and thank the
Lord" Col. E. S. Keitt also, has an
other plan to propose, which if not diff
ferent from the sub-treasury scheme,
certainly modifes it very materially.
It is Acknowledged both by Alliance
men and non-Alliance men that some
thing is the matter; that money is unu-
sually "tight"; that there is wrong
somewhere in the finances of the coun-
try.
While we do not and cannot accept the
sub-treasury plan as solution OF the
difficulty, we are not opposed to 1t be-
cause it is an Alliance demand. we
are with the Alliance in most its de-
mands, and have been, and further
more we believe there is too much con-
servatism and good sense in the order
to carry it irretrievably into any thing
wild or revolutionary.
We hope and believe that good will
finally sesult from the widespread dis
cussion of financial questions which
has largely been brought about by the
Alliance.
More thought and investigation is
being turned upon the true relations OF
the government to the finances and
prosperity of the country
than ever before il the history of the
United States, and sooner or later the
L
Therefore we say, let discussion Of
these questions so on between Alliance
men and non-Alliance men in . spirit
of mutual forbearance, and with an
honest desire to reach the truth, and no
one need fear that the final outcome
will not be for the good Of all.

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL.
Serious Charges Brought Against the
ManaCement-The Answer OF the
Company.

NEW YORK, August S.-An attack
on the Richmond Terminal system to-
day made charges against the company
as follows: That the three divisions ofthe
system, Richmond and Danville, Geor'
gia Central and East Tennessee, will
Show for the year ended July 80, 1891, q
deficit of SIT 900, while the debt on three
roads increased in same time SIG, 135, 300;
that the Richmond and Danville in the
year earned u per cent. and yet paid a
dividend of 10 per cent, making the
deficit on this line S1,026, $50; that the
Georgia, Central barely earned interest
on its bonds, and that the East Tennes-
see earned only S96, $40 above charges.
John H. Inman, president of the Ter
minal Company, was not in town to-
day. Other officials Of the road called
attention to the following statement to
offset the charges:
That an issue of Danville and West
ern bonds had been counted at 81 ,000,-
900, when only S500,00O were in exist
ence; that al apparent increase Of $780,
QUO ir Richmond and Danville general
mortgage sizes had been reported,
whereas these bonds bad been issued
to take the place Of matured first nortg-
age sizes; that it had been the policy of
the Richmond and Danville to make
liberal advances to leased lines, as for
instance one of $500, ,OCO to the Virginia
Midland, and one of 81 100000 to the
Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line, both
of which had since been repaid; that
S175,OO0 had been expended for the
Georgia Pacific in building new shops;
that the increase of bonded indebted
ness had carried with ita corresponding
increase in the company's property
which had not been taken into account,
the additional property being the Sa-
vannah and Atlantic, Covington and
Macon, Chattanooga, Rome aud Co.
lumbus, about $50 miles of the Savan-
nah and Western, and an extension Of
the Mobile and Girard. Under the
attack Richmond Terminal stock fell
from liz to 10!
WHAT PRESIDENT INMAN cAYs.
NEW YORK, August 10.-President
Inman, Of the Richmond Terminal
Company, to-day made the following
statement in reply to the charges that
the company's system had declared the
::vidends in periods when the opera
tions Of the roaGs showed deficits in
meeting fixed charges:
"In reference to the statements that
have recently been made in regard to
the financial condition of the Richmond
Terminal Company and of the several
divisions of the properly, | have to say
that there is no portion of the system,
which consists Of the Richmond and
Danville, Georgia Central and East
Tennessee, which is not earning its
fixed charges. When the detailed re.
ports now in preparation are completed
and given to the public it will be seen
that the statements which have been
made are misleading, and that the
Richmond Terminal Company and its
separate divisions are entirely solvent.
Each of these companies owns security
Of unquestionable value largely in ex-
cess Of its outstanding Indebtedness"

SENATOR GEORGE ALL RIGHT.
The Story of His Defeat Declared to ce
Without Foundation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August IA
special from Canton, Miss, says: The
report that Senator George is defeated
in the primaries is utterly without
foundation. He failed to carry his
county (CarrollD yesterday, which was
entirely due to a large Alliance majo-

concede Georges election, and their
only hope now is to elect Barksdale as
Walthall's successor, which they can
not possibly do. ] $ not believed that

A BOLD BANK ROBBER.
A Desperate with Pistol in Either Hand
Terroizes the Town, Shoots the CASH
Ter and Several Bystandcrs.

LIMA, Ohic August 8.-Shortly after
the Exchange Bank at Columbus
Grove opened this morning, stranger
entered the hardware store which ad-
Joined the bank and asked for two re-
volvers. After loading them he pointed
them at the proprietor's head, telling
him to take bis pay out Of that. He
then entered the bank. The cashier,
It. J. Maple, had just opened the bank,
of which of which his father is proprie-
tor and laid out about So, coo near the
cashiers window. The intruder imme-
diately began shooting; the cashier was
struck twice, once in the arm and once
in the right side. AS he fell to the floor,
an old farmer, William Vandebark,
aged sixty, entered the doo-. The rob-
Der turned and shot him through and
through. The old man fell dead in his
tracks. A third man sat in the lobby
of the bank paralyzed with fear. He
was not molested. The desperate then
grabbed $500 in greenbacks, showed
them in the pocket of bis sack coat and
darted out the door, shouting: "pm
second Jesse James," Quite crowd
had been attracted by the sound of the
shots but there was scattering when
the wild-eyed murderer appeared on
the street having gun in either hand
and shooting unfortunately. One Of
the bystanders, Henry Buck, was
struck down by bullet. The fol-
low ran to the outskirts of the
town and disappeared in a big corn
field. The desperate is described
as being short and heavy set with
full face and small black NOUS
tache. He wore black alpaca cap, a
black sack coat, blue pants with white
stripes and no vest. He appeared to
be about 80 or IS years old. A posse
was quickly organized and started IN
pursuit. Another posse started from
West Cairo and others rapidly organ
lied. It is thought the wounds of
Maple and Buck are not necessarily
fatal. Vandebark who was killed was
a prosperous farmer III Union Town
ship. He leaves a large family. Big
rewards are offered for the capture of
the villain. Columbus Grove is a town
of 1000 inhabitants, twelve miles north
of Lima.
LIMA, Ohio, August 9.-Later.-At
II O'Clock tonight, the Columbus
Grove Bank robber was still at large,
and the chase has been abandoned un-
til daylight. Almost everybody in the
northern part of Allen County have
been out all day looking for the des-
perado. He is alone and on foot, and
trace of him has been obtained at
different points. A dozen corn fields
and woods were surrounded, and when
capture was thought certain, the rogue,
like will-of-the-wisp, made his escape.
1t is not thought be can get away.
The farmer who was shot is still alive
but cannot recover, as the ball passed
his back into his stomach.
Cashier Maple will recover. The au-
thorities of Columbus Grove will offer
D liberal reward for the capture of the
robber. He was seen in Grove the
day before the robbery and claimed to
be a silk hat mender.

Especial to Columbia Register. ]

CHARLESTON, S. G., August 5.-The
biggest railroad deal of the century has
just developed here. A. B, Morton,

the necessary land grants. The new
road will, it is said, give the shortest
route North and West now in exist

lGlenn Springs Letter to Aiken Jour-
nal and Review.
Col. Ellison S. Keitt, of Newberry, is
spending a few days here. He is a
prominent allianceman, and last year
was a candidate before the legislature
for the United States Senate. He was
defeated, and afterwards accused Presi-
dent Stokes of selling out the alliance
in the senatorial fight for the shadow of
being governcr in 1892. Colonel Keitt
says he is no longer member of the
Democratic party; that he had worked
for it. in the past, but would work for
it no more. He thinks the peoples
party, at the conference to be held next
February, should put out presiden-
tial ticket to be voteG for at the next
general election. He thinks that the
ticket should have a good man from the
South and one from the West on it.
The colonel has a pet scheme for the
solving of the financial problem. 1t is
entirely original with him, and should
he be selected as the "good man from
the South" on the peoples party
ticket, and get elected, he will nave the
opportunity OF putting his scheme into
practical operation.
