The national ofYioers Of tho Farmers Alli-
snco are endeavoring to check with strong
hands the efforts Of ardent leaders Of
the order IN the West who desire to
begin at once the detailed organization OF
Q third party. It has become the we'll
defined policy Of the national leaders Of the
farmers movement to postpone oil public pre-
parations for . third party revolt until after
tho next national convention OF the ALL
ance In Decembsr. They believe that ample
time will remain for holding third party
convention for the creation Of third party
machinery and for making a successful third
party campaign IN 1891 or course. they
will not remain altogether Idle during tho In
tsrveninR nine or ten months. They propose
10 do great deal toward the develop mont OF
public sentiment among Alliance members and
the msmbsrs OF kindred industrial organiza-
tons. They do not believe that third party
movement to-day would receive the necessary
support from the ranks OF tho Alliance as Q
whole. They are confident. however. that .
little patience will be rewarded. under the In :
dusnos OF such episodes - the Cleveland anti

dependent political action which will make the
movement Q success.
