state alliance met at Atlanta last night and
passed resolutions Of great political import to
the south. For some time past the county
alliances and suballiances throughout Georgia
have been indorsing the peoples party move
ment under the direction Of leading alliance
men, who are also third party leaders. This
is In direct conflict with tho constitution of the
alliance, which prohibits anything like polit-
icsl action. The state executive committee,
recognizing this, met with Congressman Liv-
ingston, president of the alliance, and unani-
mously passed resolution demanding that all
alliances which have taken such action rescind
it promptly or surrender their charters.
THE CONVENTION HALLS.
Another hitch has occurred in the work Of
building the democratic national convention
wigwam at Chicago, and several days valuable
time will probably be lost in consequence.
The property owners on the lake front have
demanded deposit Of S15, 600 cash before per-
hitting the work to proceed, the required de-
post being to make certain that the wigwam
would be torn down Immediately after the
convention, instead Of being lefi indefinitely
for miscellaneous uses. This raises the
amount Of subscriptions necessary to $65, 900,
and thus far the arrangements committee has
secured only al, COO.
The subexecutive committee OF the republi-
can national committee is in session at Mime
apolls to review the work of the local conven-
ton committees. Yesterday afternoon the
committeeman visited the great hall at the ex-
position building, which is now in a very for
ward state, and pronounced it the best by far
for conventions ever put at the party's dis
posaL The acoustic properties Of the hall
were given thorough test with exceedingly
satisfactory results.
