CALVIN AND THE THIsp PARTY:
No Nomination to Be Made by the
St Louis Convention,

0~ AOOAo OOANOAtlODs
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 16.-The much talked
Of labor convention at st. Louis is now
only few days of. What that conven-
tion does will be watched with great deal
OF interest by the people OF Georgia,
especially the alliancemen. Hon. Martin
Calvin, one OF the leading alliancemen of
the state, a delegate to the st. Louis CON
vention Feb. %, was IN Atlanta a day or
two ago. In speaking Of the approaching
labor conference, which is expected to give
official birth to the third party, he said:
There will be no nomination by the st.
Louis convention. The convention is meant
to be advisory. 1t may be that this con-
vention will call another after a committee
has conferred with the two parties asking
recognition for certain demands of the
farmers"

ing third party tickets'
woN'T MAKE ANY NOMINATIONS.
"They won't do anything Of the kind,
certainly not at the February convention.
don't know what may be done at the
second convention. l think there will be a
second convention held.n
While the convention was under discus
sion, an allianceman, who is outspoken for
the third party, and who believes that the
convention will put out ticket,
said: 1T is all nonsense about
the third party drawing money
rations from the Republican party. In the
first place, we have not reached that point
where we need any campaign funds. But
when we do need money for legitimate ex-
penses anybody can contribute it who wants
to see the Peoples party successful. The
Peoples party will take any mans vote,
whether he hes heretofore belonged to the
democratic, republican, knownothing,
greenback, whig or any other party. This
Is the Peoples party, with a platform that
that indorses the platform"

Serious Charges Against the Manager
of an Alliance Store. |
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 16.-J. R. Graham,
manager of the alliance exchange store at
Rehin, Ala, was bound over under 81 200
bond here to-day for larceny after trust.
Some weeks ago the store at Heflin, Ala,
was burned, and Graham came to
Atlanta TO see about the insurance.
Previous to the burning of the store
he bought lot OF guano from W. r.
Mckenzie of Marietta. The guano was
sold to farmers on notes, and their
notes forwarded to Mr.. Mckenzie
in payment. Subsequently Mr.. Mckenzie
sent the notes to Graham for collection, and
it is claimed that he collected the money :,
about 81 $780, but instead of remitting it to
Mckenzie, used it himself in cotton specu-
larion and lost. When Graham came to
Atlanta in January he was arrested by
Mckenzie, and, as stated, on the prelimi-
nary trial to-day was bound over.

BROWN AND LIVINGSTON AT OUTS.
Until recently Mr.. Brown was a great
friend of Col. Livingston and at all times
his defender from attacks made on him.
From some cause or other Mr.. Brown re-

the paper severed their friendship, until
there is now open war between them, Capt.
