Indianapolis, Nov. 2O.-1he farmers have practically
ended their work and about where they were
whom the meeting began. They have talked much On
many subjects without having taken an advanced step
in any direction. They have successfully resisted the
efforts of the political followers of Ignatius Donhey
TO force the Alliance into the Peoples party and they
have failed in their efforts to bring about the amaiga
nation of the Alliance and F. NJ. b. A., which seemed
Yesterday ID be well assured Indications, however,
point to the accomplishment Of these two ends
eventually.
The Peoples party Executive Committee came mere
with the expectation of securing formal Endorsement
from the Alliance and the +. M. Il. A., and promise
that these two organizations would work in harmony
with the third party next year. The plan was 10
formulate proposition to the Alliance and the +. NJ
b. A. setting forth principles, and asking That the
declarations be Endorsed. After the committee had
been here couple of days and had thoroughly can
vasscd the field, 1t decided that now was not the
time to crowd the organizations for an ihdorSe-
ment. The proposed course OF the Executive Coni'
mittee was vigorously opposed by the southern mem
bers Of the Alliance, who declared that II any cHor'
was made to coerce them to vote the third party
tcket there would be a split in the Alliance. On
tho other hand the Alliances members In the west
and Northwest were favorable to an inaorsemeht VI

was led by Congressman Jerry" Simpson ana otieis

February This was the idea OF ii. r. Iaupehech'
who is by all ODDS the best politician here. al reach
ing this determination 1t is argued that the Alliance,
the F. NJ B. A. and all industrial unions can 10 uheu
upon one platform al this February meeting Whcn
the platform is made the Peoples party VIII make 1t
lbs PLATFORM on which National ticket Will De hoino
mated IL Is argued that II will be better for the
pcope's PARTY 10 20 to oil the industrial ORGANIZATIONS
than to attempt to formulate principles now ana ask
the vatous industrial organizations to come 10 inc
Peope's party. The tactics are TO DO repetition Oh
those pursued in the Cincinnati meeting waeh inc
PEOPLES party born. At tho meeting OF the Execu-
tive Committee to-day Ignatius Donneny spoke ae
length He said the Third party must stand by It's
own platform and that trustworthy, conscientious men
must be sent out 10 show the industrial organizations
the necessity of voting for the principles set forth In
that platform.
IL was supposed that to-day the amalgamation
scheme would be carried out, but opposition W u
was unexpectedly developed in the Alliance arc. IL
was decided not TO urge the matter iur1her III inns
meeting The two organizations could not even be
held In line well enough to bring about unity OF ae<op'
as was shown to-day by the premature adoption Of
resolution by the F. NJ. b. A., declaring Itself IN favor
of independent political action, which understood 10
mean that 1. will eventually identify Itself With
tho Peoples party but it is not ready to do SO now
The resolution, which is indefinite In character was
tile last act Of the F. NJ. B. A. The organization
had however previously raised the per capita tax on
II. members from to cents, which will increase the
revenue about 1000 q year, II there Is no further
loss OF members.
The division in the Alliance on the SubTreasnry
MIN seems to threaten the disruption OF That organza-
tiop The opponents Of the plan to-day issued "a
call for O new convention TO be held il Memphis on
October Is. The call is signed By W. S. McAlister,
the leader OF the movement who Is here WIN donos
mission He is camping on tie trail Of c. W. MeIune,
the originator Of the Sub-Treasury plan, ana
fguratively speaking, has corncuiter IN one mana
and a tOmahawk IN the other. ,
Mr.. McAllster has Irepaed an expose OF MeCUnes
alleged rascallty showing how he wrecked tho IeNas
Exchange and spent money in the Georgia Legs atire
in an effort TO elect Patrick Calhoun, Jay Gonld
candidate for United states senator.
Among tho resolutions introduced In the Alliance
