THE OUTLOOK IN BROOKS.
GU1rMAN, GA, April S.-The Brooks
county alliance, at It's regular quarterly
meeting held yesterday, Endorsed the St.
Louis platform and declared itself bound to
support no political party. This indorse-
ment was fought vigorously by the more
conservative element Of the alliance, and
was carried by only a small majority. The
result of this action will have bad effect
on the alliance Of the county. Two promi-
nent suballiances have already given no.
tice that they will meet but once more and
that will be to disband and surrender their
charter. Asnumber Of other allIancemen,
who cannot follow the order into third
party fields, will resign. +. NJ. Grower,
president of the alliance, informed
the NEWS correspondent today that his
Shearer, an allianceman who was Endorsed
by the order a short while ago for the legis
lature, withdrews in a card in the Free
. Press to-day, and says that as democrat
{ he can no longer accept a third party in
; dorsement. At the meeting yesterday Col.
W. S. Humphreys was Endorsed by the ALI
anoe for the state Senate from this district.
The colonel In brief speech stated that he
ives still standing on the Ocala platform
and would accept the Endorsement subject
to the action of the democratic primary.
THE THIRD PARTY WEAK.
The third PARTY is going to stand a slim
showing in this county. Its only support
ers are in the alliance, and owing TO the
gravitation of the order to the third party
for some time past it has been losing
strength fast. The detection in its ranks
will be more marked now, since its open
adoption of tie ST. Louis platform. This
action on the part of the alliance has had
the good effect Of stirring up the democrats,
and they are now going to pull Off their
coats and go to work. A call has been
Issued for all who have the best interests Of
the Democratic party at heart to meet at
the court house next Tuesday for the pur-
pose of forming a democratic club. This
will set the ball rolling and from now on
Turner and democracy will be the battle
cry.
