THE FLORIDA BRETHREN.
AjADE CITY, FLA.-Atth second days
session of the state alliance, President
Rogers appointed all committees for the
routine work of the convention and de-
livered his annual address. In this he
referred sharply to the dissensions in the
order, arising chiefly from admission to
membership of persons who gained ad-
mittancc for the purpose of office or po-
htical influence The subtreasury sclsame
was. YprmlX endorsea. The p1lsi t
closed his address as f0fiows: 20,
1t is a fact that a partisan pre- 3
distorted the truth in reference "a The
Ocala platform and subtrcasury plan, and
in our state the democratic press is wont
to read every man out of the party who
advocates tho Ocal;r platform and sub
treasury plan. The result of such an on
slaught upon the alliance has cansed
many of our members to advocate third
party. This condition of affairs is to be
deplored. My judgment is that the
Ocala platform contains not a syllable
which cannot readily be endorsed by
every true democrat throughout the coun-
try.
The reports of the state secretary and
other officers followed the delivery OF the
annual address. United States Senator
Pasco was the delegate from the Jeff rson
County Alliance, and there was strong
opposition to seating him, the opposi-
tion being based on the theory that he is
q lawyer and not farmer. He was duly
hecIea,tsds heais h9wsyer 9fa tia president
ed.
There wee fight cvc. t!!.c passage OF n
resolution offered by Thomas Hind, of
Putnam county, to exclude all press rep
rcscntativcs from the hall.
Kinds motion, he said, was not aimed
at the correspondents present, but chiefly
gardcd as a great enemy of the alliance
because Of its opposition to the subtrcas-
ury bill, and its dcnunciation Of Polk,
Macune and Livingston.
The debate lasted nearly two hours,
and was finally compromised by the
adoption of resolution excluding re-
porters from the hall, but permitting
them to examine the sccretary's notes,
with an injunction to send nothing out
for publication except what is approved
by President Rogers.
