An Alliance Caucus Fails to Indorse It
1hs Ocala Platform.

1hs Ocale Platform.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 23.-The farmer
members Of the legislature held a big
caucus tonight. 1t was lively. The Ber-
ner bill aud that Ocala resolution did it.
When the statesmen emerged from their
star chamber caucus they were
perspiring freely, which showed the heat Of
the session. The Berner bill went down In
an inglorious defeat, the vote being almost
unanimous in opposition to It. This is
rather unlocked for, as it was thought il
would certainly receive Endorsement.
Most OF the wrangling was over
the Ocala resolution, which comes up in the
House tomorrow. After talking them
selves dry, the farmer statesmen turned out
the lights without action. SO the resolution
will go to the House without the caucus in
dersement. There are enough alliance men
30 pass the resolution, but conservative
opinion is that it will be lost on account Of
strong sentiment that it is not the legisla-
lures business to meddle in national affairs.
By a vote Of 81 to sub
stltute for the Berner bill was agreed upon,
after being perfected at the meeting, and
will be presented to the House tomorrow
