Ex-senator Ellington, c. c. Post and J.
L. Gilmore the Leaders Of the Move
ment to Split the Democratic Party
in Georgia-A Circular That Recalls
sDudley's Blocks of Five screed-
ATLANTA, GA, Jan There can be no
longer any doubt as to the fact that an or
gAnized effort is being made TO form
third party in Georgia by a clique Of un>
compromising alliancemen, disgruntled
democrats and negro republicans. tx
Senator Ellington, who with Congressman
Tom Watson, the backsiding democrat Of
the Tenth district has loomed up as a
would-be leader of the new political party,
came to Atlanta yesterday to attend
meeting of the alliance executive COM
mittee, which was held to-day. The pres
ence Of Tom Watson's right-hand man in
the city on such a mission created q stir in
third party gossip.
A SECRET CIRCULAR.
Among other things brought about by
Senator Ellngton's trip % Atlanta was the
revelation Of a secret circular which is be-
ing distributed over the state b. the third
party boomers. It's discovery removes all
doubt concerning the activity of the
Peoples party leaders, if such a recognition
can be bestowed upon Watson, Ellington a
Co. In this case Z. c. Post, a northwestern
republican who emigrGte TO Georgia sew
eral years ago and has since been more or
less Of prophet in the ranks Of Georgia
republicans is the company, as his name
precedes Senator Ellington's in the circular
as chairman of the national committee
for Georgia"

entered and reported to headquarters.
THE DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS.
At the meeting of the alliance executive
committee to-day for the purpose of select
Ing delegates to the st. Louis convention,
which meets on Feb. % to determine tho
future political policy of the alliance, the
following delegates were chosen: Congress-
man Livingston, chairman of the delega-
hon; w. A. Wilson of Ameri-
Gus, vice president OF the state
alliance; Martin V. Calvin of Au-
gusta, Congressman Charles l.. Moses of
Coweta county, II. p Bell of jefferson,
Jackson county and N. L. Palmer of Floyd
county. The five alternates are: J. H.
Traylor of LaGrange, l.. II. o.
Martin of Elbert county, Con-
Hressman r, w Everett of Polk
county, w. L. Peck of Conyers, and
r. d. Wilberly of Pulaski county, district
lecturer. But one man in the delegation is
favorable to the third party-Mr. Palmer of
Floyd-and as the delegation was instructed
to vote as a unit, it goes without coutra-
diction that the representatives of the Geor-
gia alliance will vote in the convention
against O third party. 1t is likely, however
that ex-senator Ellington and other ex-
treme third party alliancemen will break
away from Col. Livingston and send an
other set of delegates to the St. Louis
convention instructed to vote straight out
for third party policy. Congressman
Livingston said this afternoon that he
anticipated such move, and ex-senator
Ellington intimates that this win be the re-
suit.
