platform in full. Some stron
spctciies v ere made against the re
solutions. There were only sixteel
Ter II. recorded out OF representa-
rinn OF thirty-fDur. Six vote,
against IL outright, and the remain
der refused tn vote, saying they pre-
ferr' a 10 wait till the afternoon ant
Lear Colonel Livings:ou's speech.
Thus il is seen that not majority
OF those present voted for the thir,
party, though Colonel Peek declares
the county alliance has receded from
the democracy.
Second. The county alliance. 10y
the same doubtful ballot, urged tn,
state alliance executive commute,
to send lecturers in the field Il
preach third party doctrines.
Third. A splendid speech by Liv
ing-;un-crisp, To the point, and
firmly UNFOLDING democratic prin
ciples; u speech that at once caught
the crowds aud brought cheer aftel
cheer from them till their lhToats
were sore.
Fourth. An attempt to arouse in.
terest in the third party by ColOuel
Peek, which failed to touch the heart
Of the convention utterly.
The great Alliance apostle, Living
ston, il will be seen by the above,
firmly upholds democracy. This Is
the man who has been advising Kan.
sas Alliance men, most OF whom
were formerly republicans, to keep
i'm the middle OF the road, and by all
means stick to the third party idea.
II will be observed that he did not
advise Georgia Alliance men TO do
that. Oh, no, the democracy is i'm
control there, 90 there is no need for
a third party in Georgia.
But the Consultation outlines the
speech of Col. Livingston as follows !:
When the colonel stood up before
the audience there was an outburst
OF loud and long applause. He he
gan by saying that he was present
by invitation from many of his
friends i'm Rockdale county to DIS
cuss questions that seemed TO be dis
turbing the minds OF some people.
He beseeched them to believe that

abuse anybody, but to fulfill n duty
To his state. his people and to him
self.
Colonel Livingston outlined his
CONNECTION with the alliance ever
since the first, and proved his course
consistent throughout. He was
loudly cheered, and frequently there
were delays of several minutes caus-
ed by demonstrations. Hats were
thrown up in the air aud meu grasp
ed each other enthusiastically when
lie finished, He proved that the al.
lance Of Georgia was being fooled
into the belief that no pension plank
was in the 1t. Louis platform. He
had letters from Miss Frances Will
lard, Of the committee, and Powder
~ verifying IL. His speech caused
an ovation.
Col. Peek then attempted to pres
ent his side OF the ease, and the Con-
stitUtiOH says:
He is not the speaker that Colonel
Livingston is. and failed to catch the
interest a. did his opponent. He de
Tended Mr.. Post, the third party
leader, and the party itself, and was
cheered by his little band Of third

Peek's speech, it being the same de-

But tue sainted fclk mao the CLOS
