The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1892-08-03
The State Alliance Endorses the Green
Vile Senator.

About 2.3D o'clock the special order for
that hour, the elcctiou of officers, was
brought up and the president called for
nominations for the Presidency. Ther re-
sult substaptiates all that has been said
about laying the foundation OF the Alli-
ance State political movement two years
hence with the newly elected Alliance
president at it's head.
The following were put In, nomination,
the name of Mr.. Sigh being somewhat OF
q surprise: W. D. Evans, OF Marlboro, j..
A. Sigh, Newberry M. l.. Donaldson,
GreenvilIe; D. K. Norris, Anderson, and
J. w. Bowden.
The first ballot was taken at once. Dom
aldson led from the very jump, but the
ballot resulted In no choice. A second
ballot was then ordered, and when the
result was announced Senator Donaldson
was declared the president OF the Alliance
for the next two years.
The Alliance reconvened at 8 o'clock,
and at once proceeded to the election OF
the other officers and the transaction OF
other business pertaining to the work OF
the Alliance rlthe coming year. The
attendance, as already shown above. was
not near SO large as at other occasions,
owing to the departure of many OF the
delegates.
exclusive Of the president, nearly all OF
them were. re elected: Vice-pres1dent,

Judiciary Commit4ae~-W. n. Elder,

and J. L. Keitt, Newberry.
AS far as can be aseertained the isctNr-
ers in all the districts were reelected.
Many important matters were DISCUSS,
ed In full and action taken. The Third
Party matter, 30 a leader says, did not
comS up at all. There was nothing Of
special business. There seems to have
been some pSetty hot discussions, but on
what subjects It's impossible to ascertain.
How hot they were Is also matter for the
future.
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
thst it was now stronger than 1t had ever
been before.
The Alliance adjourned sine die about l
q. m.
It was ascertaiped this evening that
Donaldson was elected by 2 very heavy
majority and that the result was merely
the outcome of q full intention at the very
beginning to make him president, and
that w. D. Egaps' candidacy for Congress
was what destroyed the latter's hopes.
After much difficulty the Third Party
vote was obtained: Bowdsa got only II
votes, the full Third Party strength in
the Alliance, on the first ballot aud 2p
the second and last he only got Z. This
skows to what extent the Third Party, SO
often threatened by Tillman, 1rby and
other leadsrs, has gone in the Alliance.
To night it W2s learned also that there
is an open breach between Stokes and
Bowden about that famous Third Parry
editorial in The Cotton RlGsH, which
Stokes was forced to repudiats. IT is eFen
said that Stokes knew of the editorial
hSsoze it appeared, but this lacks ,veridea-
tiop.
4 pteuairept Alliance man, who is very
conservative, iQ talking with me tonight,
said they thought they had the right man
now to lead the Alliance GnWRrd and up
ward. He said there was Q great pphea-
ysl among the people Of the Whole !ecqn-
try, bat that the Alliance of this State vas
not vet EeSqy for it. He thou ght that in
two years E would be ready to take the |
helm and push fotEard in the great bat
tie. How does this ana that talk of put
inc up Donaldson for GoTernor two
years hance agree7-Corresp9%Qencc OF
