Third Day-A Split.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10. 1.-The, Peoples
party has captured the Alliance. The
Alliance has split on the sub-treasury
scheme. These are the net results of
the days sessions of the various farmers
organizations now gathered here. The
evidence of the split was public before
that of the capture. When the supreme
council of the Alliance met everybody
but delegates was excluded from the
hall. Then the protest of the anti-sub-
treasury people was taken up, and a
somewhat animated debate occurred as
to the best means of disposing of it with
the least possible friction. Finally,
after two hours Of wrangling, the com-
mittee of the antis was informed that
they could not be heard unless they
furnished the council with a copy of the
protest. This they refused to do unless
they could present their protest IN per-
son, and that ended negotiations be
tween the two wings of the Alliance.
The executive committee of the sub
treasury party will now proceed to
Texas, where 1857 sub-alliances have
already declared

The Second Day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1S.-At the
morning session of the Alliance supreme
council, a communication was received
from w. s. McAllister, chairman of the
anti-sub-treasury committee, asking for
a conference and a chance to enter a
protest. After an acrimonious debate, a
motion by L. F. Livingston, of Georgia,
prevailed, that a committee of five
should be appointed to confer with Nc
Allister. Immediately thereafter the
council adopted a fat-footed resolution
pledging the order to the su~b-treasury
plank. The conference, later in the
day, resulted only in a wordy squabble.
Another fight occurred during the
morning over q resolution introduced by
I. M. Brande, of Georgia, in regard to
government ownership of the means of
transportation and communication, Tt
was referred to the committee on legis-
lative demands. The fact developed
that the Alliance
Has Lost Fully so Per Cent.
Of it's membership throughout the West
and Northwest. This came out through
an effort by the executive committee to
cut down the representation. When
called on for an explanation the commit
tee confessed that the returns on the
per capita tax showed this loss. The
representation was cut two-ffths. The
only political action which the Alliance
is likely to take as such came up in the
afternoon in a series of resolutions Of
fered by I. M. Branch, Of Georgia,
These resolutions declared that a large
number Of the men had been elected to
congress by Alliance votes, and de-
manded that they
Support No Man for Speaker
who would not first declare for the Al
lance platform. They further declared
it the sense of the body that these con-
gressmen should nominate one of their
own men for the speakership and stick
to him.

once. The capture of the Alliance by
the Peoples party was practically &C
complished two or three days ago, but
the full extent of the capture was not
apparent until when President Polk was
unanimously reelected, and J. Fl.
Loucks, of South Dakota, was chosen
vice president. j. 81. Turner was re-
elected secretary-treasurer and j. F.
