this morning gave a final coup to the
anti-sub'treasury people, by barring
Gates, of Missouri, from the meetingi
of the Alliance. This was done by {
resolution excluding "all Alliance mer
who are not vouched for by the chair
man of their respective state delega
tions." Chairman Leonard refused te
vouch for Gates, and although he bore
credentials from his state Alliance he
was forced to retire. The apti-sub-
treasury people made prompt response
by issuing a call for convention oil
auti-sub-treasury Alliance men at Mem
phis on the 10Th prox.
The call declares that, as the supreme
council declined to hear the protest
against the sub-treasury and land loan
schemes and government control of rail-
roads and telegraph lines, it was de-
cided to issue call for national con
vention of all the anti-sub treasury Alli-
ance men in the, United States, to hear
and consider this protest and take such
final action in the premises as may seem
proper and best for the general welfare.
The morning session Of the Alliance
was chiefly devoted to the consideration
of demands and recommendations from
the state Alliances, The most important
action was the adoption OF resolution

executive committee issued an address
to the people of the country, which says
the Peoples party will have candidate
for president in the field in 1892; that
no influence OF the old political organi-
cations or aggregated capital can pre-
vent hearty and unanimous coming to-
gether oftall the labor forces in the
country, whether employed in the work
shop. mine or farm.
1.-The people have, u it SAYS, with
growing alarm, watched the continual
advance of conditions carrying every
and traditions of the founders of the
republic, and nearer the abyss in which
we can see only crushing oligarchy or
the dreadful alternative of revolution
and anarchy. 1t is for the purpose oi
| nstrunfentalities of education and the
ballot that the Peoples party has been
organized"
! The address devotes some space to
the scoring of the railroad corporations
corrupt legislatures, debauched juries
i and Judges. and banking associations
which make or wreck as their interests
dictate, and says 1.-THE daily newspa
per press has become coeeced by itt
business necessities into becoming az

dom on the limbs of free people, to con
fuse their minds by sophistry, fill theil
ears with falsehood, uphole everything
destructive to the public good, an(
crush'e1 erything that would held thu
people,"
..As striking instance of the colossa
lies with which the people are misled,
says the address, I'VE point to the vote
of the Peoples party this year in
Kansas. Nine-tenths Of the population
OF this country, in consequence of grosl

South Dakota was reduced from 10000

braska the Peoples party came within
5000 votes of defeating the combined
power OF both old parties, and elected
eleven district Judges"
