dropped for the time. and everybody
joined in glad paen of thanksgiving.

THE ALLIANCE SPLIT.
ANTl-SuB-TREAsURY MEN sEcEDE
FROM THE MAIN BODY.

Tho Peoples Party Said to Have Cap
tured the Alliance - President Polk
Re-elected-Ocala Platform Adopted.
Seceders Issue a Call for National
Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.-The Peoples
party has captured the Alliance. The
Alliance has split on the sub-treasury
scheme. These are the net results Of
the days sessions of the various farmers
organizations now gathered here. The
evidence of the split was public before
that of the capture. When the supreme
council of the Alliance met everybody
but delegates was excluded from the
hall. Then the protest of the anti-sub-
treasury people was taken up, and a
somewhat animated debate occurred as
to the best means of disposing of it with
the least possible friction. Finally,
after two hours of wrangling, the COM
mittee of the ants was informed that
they could not be heard unless they
furnished the council with copy of the
protest. This they refused to do unless
they could present their protest in per-
son, and that ended negotiations be-
tween the two wings of the Alliance.
The executive committee of the sub
treasury party will now proceed to
Texas, where 1887 sub-alliances have
already declared
Against the sub-Treasury Scheme
and will begin the work Of organizing
new Alliance. A call for a national
convention will probably be issued at
once. The capture of the e.AA:Iiesce Ailieesce by
the Peoples party was practically ac-
complished two or three days ago, but
the full extent of the capture was not
apparent until when President Polk was
unanimously reelected, and j. H.
Louclls, of South Dakota, was chosen
vice president. j. H. Turner was re.
elected secretary treasurer and J. F.
Willats, of Kansas, national lecturer.

Fourth Days Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20.-The morn
ings session of the Farmers Alliance
disposed of mu& business of routine
character. A great number OF resolu-
tions proposing constitutional and plat
form changes were referred to different
committees. The executive committee
of the Alliance, composed of Macune of
Texas, Wardall of South Dakota and
Tillman of Tennessee, reported upon
the condition of the order, which was
found highly gratifying. The increased
demand during the past year for reform
literature was a matter of important
consideration by the council, which
ought to provide for the wider dissem-
ination of reform literature. Alonzo
Wardall, of South Dakota, was re-
elected member af the executive com
mittee for three years, and M. A. Davy,
of Kentucky, a member of the execu-
tive committee. A committee from the
National Harnessmakers' union asked
the council to indorse the label Of the
union and buy only union made goods.
The anti-sub-treasury people, after
issuing call for convention at Mem
phis, Dec. Is, published a two-column
card charging Macune with wrecking
the Texas Alliance exchange and MAX
ing big money thereby, and with trying
to sell out the Alliance to the ole polit-
ical parties. Most of these charges were
made at the Ocala meeting.

SATURDAYS DOinra


IND1ANAPoL1s,N Novel. The committee
on platform reported the Ocala platform
and was approved with but two changes
and these were simply in the wording of
the sub-treasury plank. Where that sec
tion now read, "shall loan money upon
imperishable farm products, it is
changed to "shall issue money" and
where it reads mot more than 2 per
cent. interest, the last word is changed
to tax" The report of the committee
was received with cheers. At 10 o'clock
a. m. General Lecturer G.. A. Wright,
of the Knights Of Labor, constituting
committee to extend fraternal greetings
to the Alliance, was admitted to the
council. His specific mission, how
ever, was to urge upon the
Alliance the need of close bonds and the
establishment of practical reform CO.
operation with the common purposes of
industrial reform as an end. The attack
of W. s. McAllister, who is pursuing
G. w. Macune relentlessly, was ex-
pected to culminate in collision be-
tween the men, but SO far has been
avoided. Macune says he will utterly
ignore McAllisters charges, they having
been declared untrue by committee at
the Ocala meeting. The first official
boycott ever established by the Farm
ers' Alliance was declared during the
morning
