INDIANAPOLIS, fSD.. November 1s.-At
yesterdays session Of the Alliance Council,
among a mass OF resolutions presented,
there came up something in the way OF q
fire-brand in q series of resolutions Of
fered by l. VI. Branch, delegate at large
from Georgia. They were political in
their nature and were the result of much
consultation among certain of the Alliance
leaders opposed to Livingston. These re-
solutions declared that large number OF
men had been elected TO Congress by
Alliance votes and demanded that they support
no man for Speaker who would not nrst declare
FOR tho Alliance platform. They turtber DC
clared 10 tho sense OF the body that these con-
gressrnen should nominate emo OF their own
number for tho speakership and stick TO MN
They further admonishod Alliance men through-
out tho country 70 beware OF committing them
selves 20 any party in such a manner as 70 inter-
fore with their freedom OF political action or OF
taking any position In favor OF men or par1tles
not IN sympathy with Alliance principles When
they we're Introduced they we're loudly cheered
by the supporters OF Polk.

Mr.. Branch asked that they be referred 70 the
Committee on Demands, evidently knowing what
the makeup Of that committee would be. An
sion OF tho rules In order 20 put the resolutions
on their passage.
Mr.. Livingston, Of Georgia, opposed this IN a
very vehement speech, denOuncing u ~ third
party scheme, and said il was inspired largely
by personal enmity against himself
President Polk referred the resolutions ana
when the committees were announced AZ
O'Clock Il became evident that this committee
with Weaver, o. Iowa, AZ the head Of IL was
packed with radlcnl5. IL will undoubtedly re-
port fav0rably upon the resolutions.
An effort 10 make the platform OF the Alliance
more radical on the subject Of government own
erahip Of the railroads and telegraph Lines WGs
also made by SIR. Branch, delegate AZ large from
Georgia. This resolution demands complete
ownership OF tho railroads. while the Ocaa de-
mnnd Is for partial control, with contingent own
ershipif simple control IL deemed impractlcable'
The resolution went 70 the Committee on Legs

ell the latter body would necessarily DO deprived
