GREENvILLE's ALL1ANcEmEN
The Third Party Faction Come Out On
Top in an Election.

Greenville, S. c., July 14-At a meet
ing of the Greenyille County Alliance, to-
day, Hugh M. Barter, an avowed third
party man, was elected president, defeat
ing NJ. L. Donaldson, president of the
state alliance, who was president of the
county alliance also. The delegate to
the state alliance convention
from this county, President
Donaldson's own, is strong
personal and political opponent Of Presi-
dent Donaldson, who was bIacklisted by
Gov Tnlman because he supported Presi-
dent Cleveland at the Chicago convention.
This is an important alliance county and
today's result is a decided triumph for the
populist and Tillman element of the alli-
ance, and defeat Of the more conserva-
tive faction.
