TIE KANSAS UITY CONVENTION.


herewith published in full. OF IN
members Of the Committee on Resolu
tions-selected by States-the repre-
sentive from Missouri, Col. G. Cla,
was also member and delegate frou
the Interstate Waterways and Leye
Improvement Association. These in
terests could not have been entruste,
to one abler or more jealous in thei
cause. Reading the resolutions there
on this fact will be recognized. 1t /
encouraging to note that this portion
of the Committees proceedings wa
adopted unanimously.
The discord engendered in the Com
mittee on Resolutions was inevitable
The withdrawal of some of the Re
publican Including th
Chairman-and delegates was equally
so and also significant The seceder,
claimed that there had been depart
ure from economic to political line
and issues. just as though economic
of trades and pursuits could be treat
led without involving the subjects and
policies of government revenue raising
land just as though this matter
could be embraced without trencbine
on the grounds and falling into the
grooves of ono or other of the parties
OF popular government.
True the claim and effort of the
Convention was to arrive at conclu-
sions through bipartisan channels
Had this intent been achieved the res
olutions would have been weak aud
meaningless. The results prove how
absolutely essential ARE parties TO the
conduct of such government. Here
in is a lesson for the reformers and
the independents.
Another significant fact of this Con-
vention was the entire identity OF
Alliance-ism and Democracy. The
resolutions cover the ground upon
which both are camping-they would
do for the National Democratic plat
form. And by the way these
resolutions have an inner aIrl
local Ito Mississippi significance.
Adopted by a Convention led BY
such Alliance men as Elder of Kan
sas, Hall of Missouri, Madison, Hen
derson and McSwine of Mississippi,
there is no word or reference to the
Barksdalc-Burkitt Sub-Treasury pam
acea. Even Congressman Stockdale,
who talks so ilucntly of the measure
in Mississippi, in his speech before this
Convention said not word In refer
cnce to 1t.
There was one other significant
feature of this Convention which drew
delegates from 20 States; Tennessee
alone of the Valley States was unrep-
rasouted Such an absence Is not over
creditablc, to Memphis especially.
Secretary Springer called the name
of each State, the chairman OF each
delegation answering by giving The

toned, The result Is the following;
