The Connecticut senate amended the resolu-
ton that came from the house yesterday after
noon appointing committee of conference
and then passed the resolution and appointed
five democrats for its share of the committee
to answer the five republicans appointed by
the house. The senate's amendment to the
resolution simply changed the language so that
it should not conflict with the constitutional
stand taken by the senate, and the house, it is
thought. will undoubtedly accept the amend
fnent.

Robert P. Porter, the arithmetic

they will probably live long enough
to learn that honesty is the best
policy even in politics. 1t is q
deal easier to locate the greatest

is the Western farmer who doesn't

"Last November Mr.. Truesdale,

From the Union Banner


The Mexico LEDGER, of yesterday,
ekes out Of the schismatic remark
that the Union Banner has raked
the county with fine tooth comb
and has only found three men who
favor the Sub-treasury.
Bob knows he's Lion" when he
says we raked the county; we car
stand in our office door and cal
three men from out their own house
who told US to add to the sub-treas'
ury answers of last week, "that
they were in favor of it," which we
refused to do, because they didn't
write up their own answer. What
will you give dozen for Sub-treas.
ury men, Bob, produced in Audrain
County? We say Sub-treasury
men, because they are more easily
found.
In our raking the county, as you
say, we called for the anti.subs as
we'll, but d--n the answer did we
get. The Sub-treasury, Bob, means
more money and cheaper money
but you say you are not in favor Of
it. We are! But hold on! We
aint in favor of the details of carry.
ing this bill into effect. Perhaps,
Kernel that is what's the matter
with you. If it is, "spitter out," and

Caused From III Health,

Dr.. White, a prominent physi-
clan of Perry, Mo-, was in Mexico
this week and made US a pleasant
call. He says there is no question
but what the new railroad to Perry
will be built and he thinks perhaps
on to Mexico. DR.. White says the
cause of VIM. Pascal's suicide was
ill health. Mr.. Pascal was a most
prosperous farmer, being in "fine
hx." He lived s miles west of
Perry and 20 miles north of Mex
leo. He leaves four single girls
end one son, and three married
daughters. He was suffering from
kidney disease and it is presumed
for this reason shot himself.

THE THIRD PARTY.
Both the Alliance and the F. NJ. B. A.
Endorse the Scheme for In-
dependent Political
Action.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2O.--The
Nations Farmers Alliance has been
captured by the third party schem-
ers. This means that there will be
a split in the Alliance.
At the joint meeting last night
Of the Alliance and the F. M. B. A.
the third party movement was en-
dorsed amid the widest enthusiasm.
When the Alliance yesterday re-
fused to officially receive the protest
OF the anti-sub-treasury people, an
executive committee of that faction
decided to at once proceed to Texas,
where 1877 sub-Alliances have already
declared against the sub-treasury
scheme. They will at once begin
the work Of organizing a new Alli-
ance.
PRESIDENT POLK REFLECTED.
The capture of the Alliance by
the Peoples party was practically
accomplished two or three days ago,
but the full extent of the capture
was not apparent until yesterday
when President Polk was unani-
mously reelected and j. H. Loucks
of South Dakota, was chosen vice.
president. J. H. Turner was re-
elected secretary-treasurer, and J. F.
Willitts, of Kansas, national lectur-
er.
Geoge F. Washburne of the ma
tional executive committee Of the
Peoples party, stated that the lead
ers Of that party were jubilant over
the election Of President Polk.
The committee on confederation
of the various industrial organiza.
tions met Yesterday at the Hotel
Dennison. 1t is composed of five
representatives from each of the
six organizations. It had been de.
cided previous to this gathering te
convene general congress at Wash.
ington, February %, but the South
and West made such strong objec-
tions to that place that it became
necessary to decide upon some Other
location and the duty of the present
meeting of the committee was to
fix this place. The question was
referred to subcommittee consist
ing of Terrill, Taubeneck and Baum
garten, with instructions that In.
dianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati
Chicago or Springfield, ILL.,, should
be chosen.
When the assembly convenes, il
will draw up platform OF declara-
tions and demands and the two
great political parties will be re-
quested to give them Endorsement
1t is not expected by anyone that
the two great parties will take any
| notice Of these demands, and the
way will remain clear for the Peo-
pies party to call a convention after
the other political conventions have
been held and adopt the formulated
demands Of the confederated labor
assembly as its platform. This is
the plan of action now determined
on by the Peoples party.
