came from all sides OF the room IN
which the dramatic scene, Of which this
was the elimination, occurred
You must sit down. came from the
lips of the president of the Gcurxia
state Alliance, and the governor Of
Georgia sat down. 1t was scene which
can best be characterized as red hot.
Ihe Clash was expected, but it WAS
not expected that Governor Northcn's
defeat, for that is what it meant, would
be so pronounced and overwhelming.
The tight between President Living.

the Fifth district, and Governor North

campaign, In which both were candi-
dates for governor.
Livingston is the aggressive cham.
plon OF the Farmers Alliance North
en- was farmer and president of the
old State Agricultural society. Living
Ston had the farmers with him but
didn't know his 0Wn strength and IN a
weak moment consented to retire "iu
the interest Of harmony" After that
Livingston was nominated and elected
to congress.
Since then the feeling between. the
two men has grown more bitter day by
day until Northen has put himself i'm
the attitude of being the leader Of the
anti-Ltvingston forces.
Some time ago there was held at the
executive mansion Il caucus Of the dis
affected members of the a. lliaAcr, called
by Governor Nurthcn. At that caucus
certain charges were made ag inst
! Colonel Livingston's administration
and character, and against the Southern
Alliance Farmer, the Official organ of
the order, whose policy Livingston was
supposed to dictate.
This was a secret cauIuS ani the
character OF the charges has been kept
from the public, being only vaguely
hlnted at. The proceedings Of the
caucus were exposed by the ne cwSpapcr
and everybody connected vita 1t has
since been under the ban SO FIR as the
great bulk of the order is concerned.
Dr. i. Il. Gibson, Il prominent BAPTIST
preacher of Oglcthorpc county, was
chosen to lead the fight before the CON.
Ventlon on Livingston.
!. 1t was expected NOrthrn would dc
that, but he weakened.
To-day the State Alliance met. The
makeup Of the body showed from the
outset that IT, was overwhelmingly /;
Livingston BODY, fact which every
body apparently recognized but North
Ell and his friends. The governor
though not delegate. was there and sc
was Senator John B. Gordon.
Everybody expected a fight and they
did not have to wait lang.
Early III the morning session, before
the preliminary work Of organization
had been completed, DR.. Gibson got the
floor on a question Of personal privi-
lege and started to explain the Mansion
caucus, and was uSt warming to his
subject when the point was made that
| he was out Of order.
President Livingston sustained the
point Of order.
Gibson would not sit down, but tried
To continue speaking. Vigorous rap,
ping OF the Ravcl had only the effect Of
| increasing the excitement on all sides.
Still Gibson would not sit down.

Northcn persisted. by TINS time
everybody was taking Il hand.
"lf you don't SIT down III put you
out" Livingston finally said.
"put HIM ont, "l'ut him Out," came
from all sides of the room. IL looked

crowded around the governor were
