favored sending out lecturers TO refute tht
heresies of the men who now had possession
OF the order. He denounced the present
leaders in the Alliance as "office-seekinl
demagogues devoid of principle and seek
ing only to serve their own selfish purposes. ,
Then Farmer MCAllister took the HOol
and told how he had turned the Mississippi
State Alliance out Of the organization be.
cause he would not indorse the sub-treasury
scheme. How the sub-treasury men had
organized despotism in the states of Mis-
siSSippi and Texas. He deplored the action
OF the Georgia State Alliance in not even
listening to Governor Northern, but told
him to ''sit down." He forgot to mention
that the governor was not delegate, and
mot entitled to the floor, and that the Fort
Worth convention had ''sat down" on Mr..
Lamb as peremptorily as the Georgia ALI
ance did on the governor. He favored
Halls plan of permanent organization, not
for tho purpose Of overthrowing, but for
resurrection of the Alliance.
Rev. Pope Yeaman said he understood
now what the convention was driving at. Il
was intended to organize separate body
mo-" said McAllister, who evidently was
afraid to face the meaning of his own
words.
"Do / understand that it is intended to
form an organization outside of the union?"
asked delegate John J. Hall.
II havn't heard of anything of the kind" "
said Chairman Hall, who seemed frightened
at the impending storm he had hoped to
raise.
''If il is," continued delegate Hall, "just
tell me, and I'll pack my grip and go
home."
Farmer DR.. Clark. of Boone county, said
the convention should look out or there
would be disruption.
Another delegate wanted to know what
they meant by continuing this organization?
here he was put down on point of order
and cries of question, question"
A delegate here called for Q recess.
At this time there was great confusion,
many delegates striving for recognition.
Then Farmer Wade moved the previous
question.
More confusion.
Farmer Wade again rises and insists on
the previous question, and the motion to
elect committee to report on permanent
organization carried, and the convention
adjourned till after dinner. At a little be-
fore o'clock in the afternoon Chairman
Hall called tho convention to order. He
read several kilograms, one of which was
from Texas, and said:
"Cut loose from the Alliance. Organize
Farmers' Forum on simple and broad
basis"
Early in the afternoon session Farmer DR..
w. Pope Yeaman addressed the convention.
Mr.. Yeaman is q conservative man and
thinks that education of the members will
induce them to oppose the sub-treasury,
land loan and third party measures. He
said they were not here for the purpose Of
criticising those who differed from them but
10 discuss those questions with view to
harmony. He believed the sub-treasury
plan carried out would be disadvantage to
TO the farmers. 1--WE ought" he said, "by
facts and fair arguments, prompted by a
feeling of fraternity and profound Oonvic-
tion, try to convince them that they are
