The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1892-08-03

for Stokes IN his Congressional cam
paigu.
During the morning session seyera
other matters besides the State Ex
change were considered, but it was i'm
possible to get any of the members tx
divulge them.
| FIVE NOMINATED.
About 80 o'clock the special order
tor that hour, the election of officers
was brought up, and the president
called for nominations for the presi
dency. The result substantiates all thai
has been said about laying the founda
ton Of the Alliance State political
movement two years hence with the
newly elected Alliance president at its
head.
Before any nominations were made s
motion was carried that there should
be no speeches in making the nomina
tions. Thus was the discussion of the
Third Party matter delayed, for had il
been otherwise the nomination Of Mr..
Rowden would almost certainly have
brought it up.
The following were put in nomina
tion, the name Of Mr.. Sigh being SOME
what of surprise: w. D. Evans, o.
Marlboro; j. A. Sigh, of Newberry
II. T.. Donaldson, of Greenville; D. z,
Norris, of Anderson, and J..W. Bow
den.
The first ballot was taken at once,
Donaldson led from the very jump, but
the ballot resulted in no choice. A
second ballot was then ordered, and
when the result was announced Sena.
tor Donaldson was declared the presi.
dent of the Alliance for the next two
years.
The Alliance then took a recess:till
this afternoon.
The Alliance reconvened at o'clock,
and at once proceeded to the election
of the other officers and the lransac.
ton of other business pertaining to the
work of the Alliance for the coming
year. The attendance, as already
shown above, was not nesr so large as
at other sessions, owing to the depar-
ture Of many of the delegates.
The following are the officers elected,
exclusive of the president, and>nearly
all of them were reelected: Vice presi-
dent, w. D. Evans, Bennettsyille; Sec
retary, ]. w. Reid, Reidsville; treasn-
rer, F. P. Taylor, Mount Coglan; chap
lain, the Rev. James Douglass, Black:
stock; steward, E. B. Tyler, Aiken;
doorkeeper, A. r. Walker, Fair Bluff;
sergeant-at.arms, J.. E. Jarnigan, Co.
lecturer aad orgs1izer, John
r. Jefries, State Farm.
Executive Committee-T. P. Nit
cheli, Woodward; S. T. D. Lancaster,
Glenn Springs, and E. r. Walters,
Orangeburg.
Judiciary Committee-W. N. Elder.
Guthriesvilie; D. z. Norris, Anderson
and J. L. Keitt, Newberry.
AS far as can be ascertained the lee
turers in all the districts were all re-
elected.
It is seldom that the press has been
treated by the Alliance as it has at this
session. The more conservative me,n-
bers and the prominent leaders seemed
to be heartily in favor Of telling the
press nearly everything, but the Alli-
anee appointed press committee with
Dupree, a Columbia printer, who is a
rampant Ifllmanite, as chairman, and
bound the rest of the Alliance not to
say anything whatever Of the proceed
ings..
This left the matter entirely in his
hands, and he issued an ediet that the
Alliance did nothing after yesterdays
session. The entire night until ad-
journment, as ascertained by one out
side, was spent in attending to the reg
ular routine business Of the session,
such as arranging for the future work
of the various branches of the Alli-
ance.
Many important~sha were dis
cussed in full oa~this line and action
taken. The sFhird Party matter, so a
leader ss5s, did not come up at all.
Thera&as nothing of special business.
Thste seem to have been some pretty
Ja6t discussions, but on what subjects it
is impossible to ascertain. How hot
they were is also a matter for the fu-
ture.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing
the past work of State Lecturer Tai
bert, and thanking him for the man
ner in which he did it, as we'll as ac.
cordihg him the privileges of the
floor.
The Alliance decided to take Ave
hundred dollars in stock in the State
Alliance Publishing Company. The
company submitted its business re-
ports, and they were approved,
A member stated that the members
of the Alliance had agreed to 60 to
work for the next year with increased
vigor and build up the organization.
He claimed that it was now stronger
than it had ever been before.
The Alliance adjourned sine die
about q. N.
It was aseegsained this evening that
Donaldson was elected BY 8 very
heavy maiorily and that the result
was merely the outcome of a fhal in
tention at the very beginning to make
him president, and that W. d. Evans's
