THE ALLIED THIRD PARTY.

interviews with leaders indicate that they

large number OF such people. and almost
to man they supported Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900. All these factions which are
fusing with this new name believe in their
heresies. Mr.. Bryan has preached many OF
them. All those orators who advocated all
that is in the Chicago platform during the
last two campaigns upheld many of the
heresies in which the factions making up
the Allied Third Party believe. AS one of
the leaders of the movement is reported as
saying. 'if the Democrats return to their
old idols those who believe in the Chicago
platform have nothing to do but to launch
a new party. in which all those who believe
in it's principles may find a Judgment"
The attitude which Mr.. Bryan will take
toward the new party is the source of no
little uneasiness. All that he has said of

MACHINIsTs' STRIKE MAY END.

Present indications point TO the early
ending of the machnists' strike in a prac-
tical victory for the strikers. Considering
its extent and Importance, the strike has
attracted little attention outside of the
participants and the lines of business in
volved This may have been because. as
rule. it has been conducted in a peaceable
and orderly manner, the exceptions being
local and unimportant. There was the less
temptation TO disorder because the machin-
lists have been gaining ground steadily
since the beginning of the strike, with
every prospect of winning if they remained
firm and did not weaken their position by
resorting 10 violence. There has hardly
been a day since the strike began that
large establishments in some part of the
country have not acceded to the demands
of the machinists. the latest to yield being
the Hoe Printing Press Company, of New
York. and the Corliss engine works of
Providence. r. /. AS the Hoe printing
press is the largest establishment of the
kind in the country, it is probable all the
other printing press factories will follow
its example in a few days. Most of the
railroads have acceded to the demands of
the strikers, and the total number of men
out has been reduced to about $1,000
The prospect of an early settlement of
the strike is due TO the efforts of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, of Chicago. The
secretary of the association has just re-
turned from the East, where he secured
promise from leading officers of the Ma
ch.nists' Union to appoint a committee of
three to meet a committee from the en-
ployers to discuss terms of settlement
The employers especially those of Chicago,
have thus far declined to meet the. ma
chinists TO discuss arbitration, but it is
said they are now ready to do so. A strong
argument in favor of the reasonableness
of the demands of the machinists is found
in the fact that a large majority of the
employers throughout the country have
acceded TO them, and there is little doubt
that the coming conference which is APP
pointed to be held in New York city to-
morrow will result in the virtual ending of
the strike. This will remove the only OBJ
stacle now in sight TO the full resumption
of operations in every branch of productive
industry.

The constitutional convention in Ala

ficulty in finding an amendment which will
destroy the negro vote and at the same
time leave the white vote intact. One of
the latest propositions is as follows:
Those who are illegitimate in birth or
loafers, or who may be infected with any
loathsome or contagious disease: those who
have been convicted of treason bribery

State, North or South, the whites would
suffer most. but in the South negroes who
do not work are the only loafers. 1t is
not probable. however that the foregoing
proposition will be adopted. but it shows
