Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. l9.-Taken as
"A whole the Alliance has not been very
successful in preserving the secrecy OF
it's proceedings, but one point in yester-
days proceedings escaped the press till
an early hour this morning. That point
was the committal of the Supreme
Council to the Third party movement.
This came about through the adoption
of a resolution by jerry Simpson, in
structing the Alliance members of Con-
gress not to enter the party caucusses.
Col. Livingstone, of Georgia, protested
against its adoption, saying he was
elected as Democrat and proposed 10
act with that party, whether the ALI
ance liked it or not.
The sub-treasury fight Is the all alb
sOrbing matter before the Farmers Al
lance and it's kindred organizations
this morning, and it seems very little
nearer solution than when the confer
ence first began. The anti-sub-Treas-
ury men are active and aggressive,
while the sub-Treasury people have
been placed to a large extent on the de-
fensiVe.
preme Council met the Executive Com
Inittee of the anti-sub-TreaSury people
and agreed to report to the Council that
il hear M. Yeaman'S make the pro-
test at public meeting this evening.
Soon after the opening of the morning )
Executive Session OF the Supreme
Council, Col. Livingstone, chairman of
the committee which, last night, met
re representatives of the anti sub-TreaS-
ury element, rose and said that his COM
mittee was ready to report.
Instantly there was disturbance.
On motion from delegate seated on
the Macune side of the house a can
vass of those present was made ana
every one not entitled to vote in execu-
tive Session was obliged to leave the
hall When the doors had been closed
Col. Livingstone read the recOmmenda-
ton of the committee that DR.. w.
Pope Yeaman, author of the antl-suo-
Treasury protest, should nave near
ing. 1t was received with cries OF mo,
no, :" and an acrimonious discussion be-
gan, which at noon was still growing
hotter.
About 1890 o'clock a communication
was sent to the antI-sub- treasury peo-
Die demanding that the Alliance be inn
inediately furnished with copy or the
protest which they desired to present.
The Ants replied to this that the com
mittee was only empowered, through
Mr.. Yeaman, to present the protest ana
until Mr.. Yeaman could be heard by
the Supreme Council, the latter Dody
would necessarily be deprived of the
pleasure of reading the protest.
The Third Party Juntais still vlgor-
ously PROSECUTING among the delegates
to the Alliance and f. NJ. B. A. This
morning the work of organization took
definite shape in a Joint meeting of rep
resenatives from the Peoples Party
Executive Committee, the Alliance and
the f. NJ. b. A.
Taubeneek, of Illinois, acted as Chair
man, and made an earnest appeal to
the representatives OF the various IN
dustrIal unions to consolidate their in
terests and taken independent political
action. The conference continued with
out any definite action till / O'CLOCK,
when adjournment was taken tor din,
ner. At that time Mr.. Taubeneck said
the prospect for consolidation was very
bright; that the f. NJ. b. A. was hearth
lv in favor of such action, but the Alli-
ance was opposed to it, though, he
thought, the latter body would even
tnallY fall into line.
