We'll, resolution appeared in IN Dallas
| News on the 18th instant from the state
| Farmers Alliance, setting forth declara-
| ton that the Austin manifesto signers
would be allowed Il hearing before the

O'Clock on the same day c. c. Bell, B. +.
Rodgers and William II. Murray, all of
whom are members IN good standing ut
| their home lodges, went up to the Alliance
hall on some business pertaining 10 the

wherein the Alliance was being held they
were met by Milton Parlv, who declared
that they could not go into the Alliance.
They then asked: Why nOtH When
he permitted them 10 read reso-
Luton of about the following in
Substance: That all who signed the Austin
| manifesto, and all who attended the anti
sub-treasury meeting at Fort Worth, ana
all who had any interest in any way what
ever with the Farmers World, were OK
PEELED from the present state Alliance
meeting and the lodges 10 which said per-
sons belong are commanded to eXpel each
and every one of them, and, in failure to do
so, then the charters of such lodges should
be revoked by the president OF the State
Farmers Alliance. So after we saw this.
of course cit was too late to 60 into trial
after the verdict had been passed by the
jury. About } p. III. on the same day a
committee of fourteen persons was ap-
pointed TO interview US as to whether we
had any charges to present the body, and
they also presented us with 4 resolution
similar to the above, except it did not in
clude those who attended the Fort Worth
meeting. We wrote them an answer,
which viii be submitted to-
day expressing our willingness
to go to trial, provided that they would re-
scind the verdict of the jury
will YOU submit your trial before the
committee you referred tor
No, sir; we will not go before any
whitewashing committee; we will submit
nothing to trla! except before the consti-
tutional authorities of the Alliance
We'll, were you ordered out of the ALI

Evan Jones repeated and emphasized
that the sergcant-at-arIns should put me
out.
Who introduced the first resolution to
Gust YOU anti-sub-treasury fsllows!'
wv. r. Lamb was the fist man saw on
the floor for the resolution. and hence con-
slider that he was the introducer.;;
What could have been his object in in
Producing such resolution. as he is a leader
in the Peoples party and the Alliance is
non-political organization:'
That is very plain. You see the Peo-
pies party met the day before the Alliance
-.
plainly that they are trying to use the
Alliance as cats paw for their party"
"How's that
BY shaping their platform after the
Alliance demands SO they can circulate
their literature through the Alliance
We'll. do you think il viii work."
mo. sir: the rank and file of the Alliance
are true Democrats, and only misled by the
third partyites in the Alliance to support
the sub-treasury plan
Did You not say few days ago that the
rank and file OF the Alliance would not fol-
low the Democrats2"
No, sir; l said that the rank and file of
the sub-treaSury wing would not measure
their Democracy by the sub-treasury plan,
but would test or study the plan from its
Democracy"
Are a majority of the rank and file of
the Alliance sub-treasury followers}''
NO. sir
well, why don't you fellows organize
your forces and make your fight"
We have everything ready 10 work well

prejudices fostered by the office seekers
who belong to tho Alliance; TO have the
persons who follow the plow to be the
'pulers' and the members of ether profess
