by Their Leaders.


The rank aud file OF the Alliance
have been taught by their leaders to
believe that any attack upon one OF
their leaders Is an attack upon the
order. And then these same leaders

themselves, and as far as they can,
their order, to all manner OF heresies
and absu rdities and false statements.

sOeeches, or you will be construed as
attacking the neutrality-suspicious.

We were at first disposed to differ
with our friends in the Alliance, and
intending conscientiously to do so,
thought we could attack the leaders
without making any war on the Alli-
anee. But recent developments have
gone far to persuade US that we were
wrong. We have almost come to the
conclusion that the leaders OF the
Alliance are the Alliance. Ii that be
true. of course II we attack one we at

NO sUB.TREASURY In THEIRS,
A New and Better Alliance Of Farmers
to be Formed.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-The anti-Third
party and anti-sub-treasury wing OF the
Farmers Alliance met at lO:3O o'clock
this morning and formally organized.
This afternoon session was ABOUT as
lively as any convention could be.
AS soon as the delegates were seated
Chairman Ii all announced the Commit
tee on Resolutions, as follows: w. D.
McAllister of Mississippi, Chairman ;
DIR, Ransom, of Tennessee; G. H. Hitler
and J, f. Davidson, of Missouri; X. =.
Bragg of Texas; w. b. Wilsey, of Illi-
nois, and A. j. Mcconnell, of Iowa.
The committee Immediately went to
work to prepare platform.
During the absence of the committee
DIR, w. Polk Yeamans, of Boone Coun-
ty, Mo-, was called on for an addr ess,
and took up the Government land loan
scheme and sub-treasury fad ana dls-
sected them, to the evident satisfaction
of the delegates, who heartily applaud
ed the good points.
DIR, Yeamaus was followed by several
other farmer orators, VINO were re-
ceiVed with cheers and their speeches.
frequently punctuated with applause
About $3.50 the committee on resolu-
tions started into the hall with a par
tial report. The report was read. 1t is
the same platform adopted by the Fort
Worth convention, with modification
of the last resolution as follows:
Resolved, that we denounce =. w.
Macune and his corrupt methods, TO,
pether with the acts of his tools and
benchmen as being a disgrace to TIE
order and a stencil in the noStrlIs OF all
honest men who know of their corrup-
ton and villainy."
This led to a heated debate.
When the reading of this resolution was
completed Delegate Wade, of TenneS-
see, Immediately sprang to his feet ana
moved that this clause be stricken out,
and he went on to give his reasons for
his motion. He said that the conven-
ton had not been called to make per-
sonal attacks upon any person or per
sons, While he personally was conf
dent, in fact knew that Macune was
ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT MEN
in the country, he was not prepared to
go on record in a convention which was
called in the interests of harmony, to
attack one of the leaders of the Alliance.
n was we'll known that the Ocala inves-
tigsting committee had adopted report
eXonerating Macune; that the report
was merely a whitewash; that Macune
was guilty of the grossest Irregularities
and was dishonest to the core, but this
was neither the time nor place to adopt
such q resolution. Therefore, Mr..
Chairman" said he, al move that the
section be stricken out"
Immediately there were a dozen dele
gates on their feet yelling for recogni-

CHAIRMAN MCDONNELL, of the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in obedience to the demand
of the majority of the committee, has
at last consented to call the commit
tee together, to begin arrangements
for the campaign of 1872. This was
very much against TOmmie's wishes,
however, and he did not yield very
gracefully. Tommie Is training with
Buck and M'Oiler, and he thinks
their organization is complete
enough. In this the corporation
farmer Is correct, but he is mistaken
when he thinks that these three are
the Democratic party. He has doubt
less been misled by the Toiler. He
will not know how very badly mis-
taken he Is until the die is cast; then
he will find that neither of the trio
were in it at all.

Chairman Hall then called McClin-
took, of Missouri, to the chair, and taxi
ing the floor spoke against the motion
to strike out. There was, he said, moth
ing personal in his desire to have
Macune arraigned for his misdeeds.
Every Alliance man know that he had
opposed Macune from the first and he
would fight him to the bitter end. He
was a tool of politicians and of mOnopo-
lists; he had accepted brides from them,
and why should the Alliance, which is
trying to reform the Government, have
a corruptionist at its head? 1t was the
most illogical and ill-advised policy
that could very well be conceived of.
w. S. McAllister, of Mississippi.

had no malice against Macune. Not
withstanding the fact that he lad
knocked HIM off his feet and had booted
him, he bore him no ill will. But
CORRUPTION MUST BE ROUTED.
Macune had done. or was doing for the
Alliance what Warren Hastings had
done for India.
"Do you want such a man at the head
of your Alliance? 1 cannot believe it,
and pray that the motion to strike out
may be defeated.

circling with its Shiny coils the escutch,

Wade, of Tennessee, got another
whack at the resolution and then Muir
ray, of Texas, jumped on to chair and
sailed into Macune in the most vigorous
style. He gave him the worst drubbing
imaginable, with the possible exception
of Goodman of the Same State, who
sailed in too and scored him unmerci-
fully. Murray got to discussing State
affairs, however, and calls for order

arose and moved 20 table the motion to

which met here to-day was held to-

purpose of forming new State ALI

The action Of the Missouri delegation

There is no question but that the

come a powerful organization.
