cutcheon of the order. sitting its purity
and destroying its virtue"
Delegate Murray, of Texas, climbed
on a chair and gave Macune q great
drubbing. Wade. of Tennessee, then
moved to amend his motion to strike
out by stating that I'VE denounce the
chairman of the Ocala convention and
the editor of the National Economist"

restored the motion to strike out was
defeated-42 to 20. Wade's motion to
amend was then defeated by large
majority.
The convention adjourned until nine
o'clock this morning.
ST. LOUIS, Sept 17.-When the anti
sub-treasury alliance convention reas-
sembled the first order of business was
the question of the resolutions and
they were carried by good majority.
An effort to make the vote unanimous
revealed some negative voters who did
not relish the resolution censuring Ma
cune.
The committee on permanent organ
ixation, with Rev. DIR. W. Pope Yea
man as chairman, then made its report
as follows:
We, large number OF the Farmers' ALL
ance and Industrial Union representing our
constituencies, in convention assembled,
being desirous of settling the differences ex-
isting In our order, agree to the appoint
ment of committee Of seven members. who
are authorized to go before the supreme
council Of the Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union of America, which convenes at
indianapolis in November next, and submit
to said council our objection to that part
of the demands of the order (sub-
treasury and government land loan
schemes) which were adopted by
the supreme council at its meet
ing at Ocala, Fla. Said committee are au.
thorized and empowered to use their own
discretion In the premises Pending these
negotiations for an amicable settlement Of
our differences, the committee hereto pro-
vided tor shall constitute bureau of infor-
II alton and shall use all legitimate means
for informing the subordinate unions and
the people in regard to the true views ana
principles now engaging the attention of
tho indi l classes of America Said
committee Is authorized to secure compe-
tent speakers and suitable literature and de-
wise ways and means for paying all expenses
of an educational campaign.
Said committee fs authorized to call q con-
vention of all the anti sub treasury brethren
throughout the country to consider the re.
port of the committee as to the result Of the
conference with the supreme council. and
may TX the time and place of meeting. and
make such arrangements as may be deemed
necessary.
We further recommend that each state
select q committee, such committee to con-
stitute state bureau of Information, which
shall be empowered to make all necessary
arrangements to obtain speakers and con-
sub treasury and land loan schemes In the
respective states, and shall cooperate with
the national committee.
This did not satisfy R W. Nicholas.
of Missouri, and he offered the follow
ing amendment, which was unanimous
" adopted: THAT said committee be
authorized to file the conventions un-
alterable and unending objection to the
passage Of any resolution whatever
binding the individual members Of the
Farmers' Alliance to any political
course Of action whatever. and we
hereby protest against the action Of
any previous meeting infringing upon
the Individual political rights Of any
member of the order"
Another amendment offered by J. l.
Goodman, Of Texas, was also adopted
- follows: I'VE further recommend
that each state committee organize q
bureau of information In each county
Of their respective states who shall CO.
operate with the state and national
committees" The report as a whole
was then adopted by a unamious vote.
Then came one of the nest impor-
tant declarations of the convention. 1t
has been maintained right along by
many Of the delegates, and some even
went so far as to give out to the press
that new state organization in Mis-
souri, had been organized, that this con-
vention was for the express purpose of
seeding from the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union and
forming q new body in opposition to
the present organization.
A. s Smith, of Missouri, offered the
following, which was unanimously
adopted:
whereas, The impression has gained
some credence that either the primary or
ultimate object of this meeting Is for the
purpose of effecting separation or division
OF the order and the formation of q distinct
organization; therefore,
Resolved, That such purpose Is not and
has not at any time been the intention Of
this meeting, but that Its object Is purely
one Of expressing its opposition to the pro-
posed sub treasury and land loan enact
ments, and to institute an educational
movement in that direction, thereby bring
ing the organization back to those princi-
- l.x.H nd ftvy<
which 1t was originally based.
The convention then took a recess.
Upon reassembling the committee on
permanent organization asked for a
further hearing and the following was
presented and adopted:
Believing that the future policies and pros
perity of the government and of the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union depend
in large measure upon the action OF this
body and in setting forth plans for work In
the iuture; and fully realizing the fact that
We need the hearty CO. operation OF all peo-
ple and especially of the members Of the
order; and in order to secure the same We
recommend that the members of each state

schemes and the government ownership Of
