CINCINNATI CONFERENCE.
The Embryo Third Party Handicapped
 wish Widely Divergent Interests.

CINCINNATI. O., May l9-The a00 or 4oo delegates and others in attendance upon tie National Union Conference, which begins its sessions in this city, were rs en- forced by the arrival of a special train bearing ten car loads of citizens from Kan sas and other Western points, and it is estma el that there are now nearly 1900 people here, representing at least two thirds of the States of the Union. This mornings trains brought Ignatius Don nelly, of Minnesota; Norton, of tse Chi cago Sentinel; Elder, Speaker of the Kan sas House Of Representatives; Cong tess- men elect McKeighan, of Nebraska; Robb of Iowa; Wood of Kansas; Snyder, of In diana; Powderly, Hayes and Devlin.
 There promises to be breeze over the delegation from Minnesota, headed by Ig natius Donnelly. Miss Mcdonald and several others will endeavor 10 secure rec ognition by the Conference, but Donnelly and his followers do not appear to be wor ried about the situation, and claim that the opposition comes from persons hostile to the movement who are acting under orders from the wheat ring" of Minnesota
 There is considerable comment on the reported opposition of Senator Peffer to tse third party movement and it is openly stated by Capt Power and others that it would be better for Mir. Peffer and other gentlemen holding official positions to listen 10 the voice of the people than to try to dictate the course to be pursued by the Conference in regard to the formation Of third party.
 The Iowa delegation. among other things, adopted a resolution urging the nom mination of full independent ticket next June, and telegraphed its decision 10 prominent men of that State in sympathy with the movement
 There was a rather turbulent mseting of the delegation from Kansas, due largely to the fact that it is much stronger in point of numbers than that of any other State, there being nearly 300 persons present. re- presenting seven organizations: Tho Far mers Alliance, the Citizens Alliance, the Peoples party, the Knights of Labor, the National Industrial Alliance, the Anti Monopoly party and the Single Tax men.
 Among the arrivals to night are Senator Peffer and ex Gov. St John of Kansas, and Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar Senator Pefer, who has been quoted as opposing Q new party, states that such course would be rather a queer one for him, taking the part he has taken in the independent movement and the official position he b olds. But l doubt whether it would be wise for us to go too far at present." said he. We should proceed cautiously. But there will surely be third party in ls9a."
