voices of the honest, patriotic citizens
would no longer be heard in the con-
troll OF governmental affairs. We
,urther denounce these measures as
being violative of the constitution OF
our beloved order.
We further demand that those men
who are not farmers be removed from
the national and state Offices of our
order, and that none but those who
have their interest in farming be al
lowed to fill such places, to the end
that the legislatures of our government
may know that when the Alliance
speaks it is the voice OF farmers and
laborers of our land instead of the
wish of some paid tool of monopoly
and corruption.
We now appeal to all honest men,
bers of the Alliance throughout the
United States in behalf OF the poor
and oppressed of our land, whom
these base men have betrayed, in the
name of our wives and children who
must be relieved, if at all by the
united action OF the farmers of this
country in the name of good govern
ment, TO unite with us in putting
down this common enemy and disgrace
of our order. To this end we most
earnestly recommend that the brother
Alliance men of the United States
meet in national convention at st.
Louis on the third Tuesday OF Septem-
Der, 1891.
The following additional resolutions
were also adopted:
Resolved, That this body select an
executive committee of three, who
sail have general supervision and
c ntrol in carrying out the objects
and purposes of this convention.

in Office, and that we condemn the
action of said legislative committee in
itssdemands upon the legislature, and
demand fair and impartial trial of
the railway commission.
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dorse the course of Hon. U. S Hall,
president state Alliance of Missouri,
in refusing to concur in the action on
the case of C. w. Macune at Ocala,
and also in opposing the sub-reasury
scheme etc. We earnestly pledge
Hall our support in the noble and
manly effort to rid the order. both
state and national, of such men as
manning the men in denunciatory
terms1.
Resolved, That the thanks OF this
convention are hereby rendered the
press of the state that has been friend
ly to our views. and hereby respect
fully ask the cooperation OF the entire
newspaper press to be friendly to our
cause.
Resolved, That we desire to enter

state executive committee in selecting
and sending out from the Waco meet

Whereas, -Four men in Stonewau
county, pretending to act as county
Alliance. met and passed resolutions
condemning the signers of a circular
published extensively in the papers of
our state; and whereas Rayner Alliance
OF the two working Alliances in the
county of Stonewall exposed the fraud
Of these four men, and whereas Evan
Jones in his official capacity as presi-
dent ofr-the state Alliance, without
authority did suspend the charter and
cited said Rayner Alliance to appear
before the judiciary committee of said
state Alliance to show cause Why their
charter should not be revoked. New,
therefore, be it
Resolved by this body. That we con-
denim this high-handed outrage against
a sub-Alliance, whose only sin was
the exposure, etc, and this without
any constitutional warrant, and a pure
case of malicious abuse of his high
Office

Hall of Missouri was the author of the
first part of the report which pays
especial attention to national affairs.
On the resolution calling the st. Louis
meeting he made an address setting
forth the purposes Of the convention.
1t was, he declared, necessary that the
national Alliance should be reformed
and that Texas would have cause to
be proud that she inaugurated it
Other state Alliances were suffering as
the Texas Alliance was suffering and
it should be 4 proud privilege for the
great Lone Star state 10 furnish the
key which would unlock the remedies
which ought to be applied
His earnestness deeplr impressed |
the committee and every member CO.
incided with him.
Some discussion arose as to the time |
and place, and it was decided to hold |
the national meeting early So as to
check as far as possible the drift of the |
farmers into the sub-treasury and peo-
pies party ranks.
