INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.-Soon after the |
opening Of this morning executive session
OF the supreme council of the Farmers
Alliance the chairman of the committee
which last night met representatives of the
suo-treasury element, said his committee
was ready to report. Instantly there was
disturbance. On motion from delegates
seated on the MoCune side of the house.
everyone not entitled to vote in the execu-
tive session was obliged to leave the hall.
When the doors were closed the chairman
read recommendation that DR.. Yeaman,
author of the anti-sCb- treasury protest,
should have a hearing. 1t was received
with cries of mop mop and an acri-
monious discussion began. About 1890
! o'clock a communication was sent to the
antl-sub treasury people demanding the
Alliance be Immediately furnished with a
copy of the protest which they desired pre-
sented. The Ants replied the committee
was only empowered through Yeamans to
present the protest, and until Yeamons
could be heard by the supreme council, the
latter body would be deprived of the pleas
ure of reading the protest. AT 80 the
supreme council neither adjourned nor re-
| piled to the communication of the sub-tress-
ury people. The third party people are still
vigorously PROSECUTING among the delegates
| of the Alliance and Farmers Mutual Bene-
! fit association.
This morning there was conference of
the joint commitoee from the Peoples
party, the executive committee of the ALI
ance and Farmers Mutual Benefit associa-
ton. f. K. Taubeneck, of illinois, acted as
chairman, and made an earnest appeal to
tee Representatives of the various Industrial
unions to consolidate their interests and
take independent political action. The con-
ference continued without any definite &C
al
taken for dinner.
The document of the anti-sub-treasury
men earnestly protests against any action
of the supreme council that purposes to
commit the Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial union to the proposition that provision
should be made by the federal Congress
for government loans of money to indiyid-
ual citizens upon farm mortgages as secur-
ity or to demand for the government own
ership or control of railroad property and
transportation. These schemes, it declares
are uncons titutional, impracticable con-
fiicting with the spirit of the Alliance
movement and tending to government of
PATERNALIsM AND STATE SOCIALISM.
Instead of relief from present oppression
the measures promise greater evils, being
partial TO certain classes, involving bust
ness details too deep for the average
farmer. The attendant expense would
make the market price of money higher
and open an avenue for sharpers to trade
upon the farmers hard earned goods and
! products. The markets would be over
| loaded with produce, putting up the
value of commodities and raising taxation.

f In conclusion, the committee expresses
e desire to cooperate with the Alliance In
carrying out its principles in securing
safe currency; Riding the land of trusts
and monopolies; helping the farmer an(
h laborer: securing an honest ballot and
fair count, and selecting for places of public
honor and emolument honest and capable
II men. The executive committee of thu
3 Anti-Sub-Treasury party will at once
e commence the work of organizing new
II alliance.
The capture of the Alliance by the PEG
pies party, while practically accomplished
some days ago was not apparent until 20

IS Dakota, was chosen vice-president; j. H
Is Turner was re- elected secretary and treas
l. urer, and j. +. Willetts, of Kan
n ses, national lecturer. George f. Wash
y burne, of the national executive committe
Y of the Peoples party, stated the leaders o
that party were jubilant over the electio
of President Polk. Mr. Polk, in his an
nual address Tuesday night so severed
