HARMONY
WITH A LONG, STOUT STRING TIED
TO 1T.

Sweet White Winged Peace Is not Hover
ing Over the Alliance So Very Much.
From the Atlanta Herald.
For three days Alliance headquarters
have been deserted, but this morning the
returning hosts kept things in buzz of
excitement.
The Gainesville meeting over, Colonies
Daniels, Peek, Ivey and Irwin are back
at their posts.
Col. c. I'll. Ellington, who was elected
president of the state Alliance. is at the
ton, president of the State exchange, re-
ner of Col. Peek's office. Near him sat
Col. W. R. German, with whom he was
exchanging notes.
DR.. L. S. Ledbetter, of Cedartown, who
is now manager of the Alliance exchange.
is in the city also.
| All of these gentlemen are highly
elated over the meeting of the State ALI
ance at Gainesville, and they are ner-
vously joyful and extraordinarily hope
full. They say that there were four times
as many Third party Alliancemen pres
ent as there were Democratic, conser-
vative and Republican Alliancemen put
together.
Will 1t Remain Third Party?
The question upon which great deal
hinges is the management of the South
ern Alliance Farmer.
For many months in the past Editor
Irwin has loaded his paper with bitter
Third party editorials, and at one time
the Peoples Party Paper, run by Colonel
|
the Alliance-F Farmer.
In the Second days meeting at Gaines
vile, resolution, making the paper nom
partisan and strictly Alliance, was pass
ed
But the men in charge of the Alliance
affairs will not abide by this resolution.
At least it would seem not from their
conservation.
Colonel Ellington, who is now presi-
dent of the Alliance, is the same gentle
man WI handed in a minority report
when Livingston and Calvin declared
against the policy of the paper some time
ago.
How They Talk.
1.-THE paper" said Col. Peek in answer
to question, twill be run Just exactly
as 1T has been in tn past"
And the colonel smiled grimly in a die
hard manner.
Another prominent Allianceman took
occasion to remark that there would be
no more Third patty editorials in the
paper than there were before.
Ibid not the Alliance endorse the past
course of the Southern Alliance Farmer
and the editor of it also?' asked Col. Ell
lington in reply to question whether
in the future there would be any Third
party editorials in that paper.
"Will it assume the same att ude that
it has held heretofore and pursue the
same lines?" the colonel was asked.
i was elected chairman OF the COM
mittee on the policy of the paper with
power to select the other members Isn't
that sufficient answer to your question?
The Alliance Farmer has advocated I'M
der Erwin the principles of the Alliance
as we understand them.
II want it understood that Livingston
made no threats at the Alliance meeting.
He was as concilliatOry and as sweet as
he could be, and ACKNOWLEDGED that he
hal four-ffths of the delegates present.
We really had n ore than that, however"
"WhO do you mean'we,' Colonel?''
THAT we" returned Colonel Filing
ton in half-surprised, half-indignant
tone, sis understood to mean the faction
l represent"
"To which party does 'we's' faction be-
long?' was put at the Colonel next.
1.-The papers say / represent the Peo-
ple's party faction In the Alliance an
swered Col. Ellington.
"You might add" he concluded, 'that
all old sores are healed, etc.
And the Colonel made no more advan-
ces for longer interview.
state Alliance Executive Committee,
| The State Alliance executive commit
tee was called to order at 10 o'clock in
the star chamber in the headquarters,
and lot of important business, not to
be made public, was transacted.
The policy of the paper was thorough
| ly discussed and Editor Erwin will con-
tinue the policy which Colonel Lon raised
row about, and now since Col. Filing
ton is no longer in the minority, the
Peoples party will get the benefit of the
