INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20.-The Alliance
this morning gavea final coupto the Anti
Sub-Treasury people by barring Gates of
Missouri from the meeting of the Ali
ance. This was done by a resolution ex-
Guiding ''all Alliance men who are not
vouched for by the Chairmen of
the respective State delegations"
Leonard refused to vouch for
Gates, and although he bore creden-
tials from his State Alliance be
was forced to retire. The Anti-Sub-
Treasury people made prompt response by
issuing call for convention of Anti
Sub-Treasury Alliance men at Memphis
on the 10th day of December prox.
The call declares that, as the Supreme
Council declined to hear protest against
the Sub-Treasury and land loan schemes
and Government control of railroads and
telegraph lines, 1t has been decided to
issue call for a National Convention of
all Anti-Sub-T Treasury Alliance men in
the United States to hear and consider
this protest and take such final action in
the premises as may seem proper and
best for the general welfare.
The morning session of the Alliance
of the demands and recommendations
from the State Alliances. The most i'm
portant action taken was the adoption of
a resolution demanding n constitutional
amendment DISTINGUISHING Federal office
holders during terms of office.
The Farmers Mutual Benevolent AS
sociation adjourned to-day after amend
ing the constitution so as to admit men
over Is to membership. 1t also resolved
not to amalgamate with any organization
until the February meeting, the dele
gates to that meeting being instructed to
vote for independent political action.
The Alliance also changed their constitu-
| ton to admit women.
The Anti-Sub-Treasury people pub
lished a lengthy article reiterating the
charges made against McCune at the
Ocala meeting, and charging him with
wrecking the Texas Alliance Exchange.
The Reform Press Association threat
ems to bolt the Alliance if the State
Agents Association carries out the pur-
pose of making all purchases through the
National Union Company.
The Peoples party men are best salts
fed, asserting that they have secured all
they came for. Tonight the National
Executive Committee issued an address
to the people of the country, which SAYS
that the Peoples party will have a candi-
date for President in the field in 1892:
ganizations or aggregated capital can pre-
vent the hearty and unanimous coming
together of all the labor forces of the
country, whether employed in the work
shop, mine, or on the farm. The people
have beheld, it says, with growing alarm
the continual advance of the conditions
carrying every day farther away from the
principles and traditions of the founders
of the Republic, and the nearer abyss in
which we can see only crushing oil
garchy or dreadful alternative of revolu-
ton and anarchy. 1t is for the purpose
Of saving the free institutions by the
peaceful instrumentalities of education
and the ballot that the Peoples party has
been organized.
The address devotes some space to the
| scoring of railroad corporations, corrupt
Legislatures, debauched Jurors and
judges, and banking corporations, which
make or wreck, as their interests dictate,
and says the daily newspaper press has
become coerced by its business necessities
into becoming an instrument to bind
the shackles of serfdom on the limbs
| of a free people, to confuse their minds by
SophiStry, fill their ears with falsehood,
uphold everything destructive of public
good, and crush everything that would
help the people.
''As a striking instance of the colossal
lies with which the people are misled. -
says the address, 'we point to the vote of
the Peoples party this year in Kansas
Nlne-tenths OF the people of this country,
In consequence of the gross miSrepre-
sentations Of the press, believe the Peo-
pies party vote Of Kansas this year fell
off greatly from that of last, while the
fact is it actually increased about III per
cent. The Republican majority was re-
duced in South Dakota from 10000 in 1880
TO 300 this year, while in Nebraska the
Peoples party came within 5000 votes of
defeating the combined power of both
the old parties, and elected eleven Dis
trict Judges"
The address is signed by II. f. Taub-
eneck, Chairman; Robert Schilling, Sec
retary, and NJ. G.. Rankin, Treasurer.
