that the Populists would resort 10 reVo-
iutionsr-v measures in order TO seat Mr..

CLAW county OF Alabama, and in behalf or
the ,aw abiding people OF the state, ne
would say that the party he represented
were not Anarchists nor revoluticnlsts'
The reports to that effect, ne sald' were
without foundation In fact. lie 1urther
said his people did not intend TO take up
arms against the State Government.
Mr.. Manning then read the following
resolution. passed by the POpulist MEM
bers, and asked that it be spread upon
the minutes of the House. No objection
was interposed and the resolution was
so ordered: .,
Resolved BY the Populist senators and
representatives of the General Assembly.
I'm caucus assembled, that the action OF
our State convention. held in this city
on the 12th instant meets with our full
endorsement and that all reports pub
lished by an unfriendiy press to the
effect that any lawlessness in any form
is contemplated on the first proMmo' Is
absolutely false, and are circulated 10
hiring our party into disrepute among
patriotic citizens
