/ The effort to convince democratic ALI
ancemen of Georgia that they should sup
port the Peoples party will be begun at
Americas to-day, if the programme IS car
ried out. and will be continued on other
DAYS Of this week at Atlanta, Athens, no
gansville andRome. Those who are expected
to do the talking are Senator FeHer'
REPRESENTATIVE Simpson and Mrs. Lease, OF
Kansas. and Gen. Weaver, Of Iowa. 1t IS
understood that Col Livingston, president
of the Georgia alliance, J.. l.. Polk presl-
dent of the national alliance, and Or.
Macune will accompany the visiting ora
tors. and it is probable that they will take
part in the speaking.
Col Livingston, although he has nothing
TO say against the Peoples party. continues
TO announce that he is a democrat, and Will
act with the Democratic party. 1t may
be safely stated that DR.. Macune will come
out sougrely for the Peoples party if he
finds that there is a strong probability OF
Of southern aIliancemen doing so. And there
is not much doubt that President Polk IS
only waiting to see what southern alliance
mon are going to do before showing his
colors. In recent interviews he has praised
extravagantly the platform Of the Peoples
party. and it is fair to assume, therefore, that
nothing would give him more pleasure than
TO lead southern alliancemen out Of the
Democratic party and into the Peoples
party.
If Messrs. Polk, Livingston and Macune
were not in hearty sympathy with the
Peoples party they would hardly be in COM
pany with those whose avowed object is to
gain a foothold for the Peoples party in the
south. The meetings in this state may
be called rallies in behalf of alliance princi-
pies and the effort may be made to create the
impression that nothing more is intended
than to strengthen the faith Of alliancemen
in those principles, but, there can be no
doubt that the real intention is to get up
a boom for the Peoples party.
Me,srs. PETER, Simpson, Weaver and the
the rest of them have come south TO do mis-
sionary work in be half of the Peoples party
because it has been discovered that that party
is rapidly losing ground in the west on ac-
count Of the refusal OF southern alliancemen
TO go to its support. Alliancemen in Kansas,
Iowa, OnlO, ana OtueT western stttC6 dIb go
ing back to the parties with which they
formerly affiliated, because they see no hope
for the Peoples party without it can get the
support of southern elliancemen.
1t may be reasonably expected, therefore,
that a supreme effort will be made at the
meetings this week in this state to convince
alliancemen that the remedy for all the
things of which they complaints to be found
in the platform of the Peoples party, and
that if they want to serve their own inter-
ests they will support that party.
Alliancemen Of this state have heard
good deal of this sort Of talk, and it has
even been suggested to them by alliance
men who pretend to be their leaders that
they can act with the Democratic party in
local affairs and the Peoples party in ma
tional affairs. There are no indications yet,
however, that they intend to sever their
connection wish the Democratic party and,
unless the Kansas and Iowa propagandsts
prove to be more convincing than they have
been elsewhere, the Democratic party in
Georgia will remain intact.
