AN UNSEEMLY AFFAIR. AMBITIOUS POLITICIANS QUARREL ING ABOUT THE ALLIANCE' Democracy vs. Third Party the Htoon of Contentson-OrlinInation and Recrinil nation Among Some of the Leaders--A Full Account of the Matter. MEwuIs, Nov. 16.-The tituation among Alliancemen as to who will be their president is becoming more com plicated and the 13ght between the two factions is getting more fierce as the time for election approaches. The scoring that President Loucks gave the Democrata on account of the alleged robbing of Kolb of the Governorship of Alabama strengthened the opposi tion to him on the part of certain South ern delegates and made him a prime favorite with those who favor throwing the Alliance as a body into the third party. Those opposing these radical views of Loucks and John H-. MacDow li of this State held a caucus and deei ded to support Macune of Washington. Loucks' election means that the third party will capture the Alliance. In this event there will be a combination made by Texas and Eastern delegates and the result will probably be the distintegra tion of the order. On the other hand rank third party men insist that if Ma cune is elected they will draw out of the Alliance and form a new order in the Northwest. The conservatives of both factions favor a combination on a third man, and they imay be able to prevent the election of L.,oucks or Ma cune. Mr. Tillman, member of executive board, who sent out Democratic cani paign literature from Washington du ring the recent campa!gn, is roundly scored by followers of Weaver, who are demanding his expulsion from the or der. Tillman says he has nothing to be ashamed of and courts investigation, and insists that he his as much right to send out. Democratic literatue as other officers had to preach third party doctrine. The conmittee on const,itution and by-laws reported. Several changes were made. The salaries of all ollicers are scaled down. The president will hercetorth receive 82,C00 a year and expenses instead of $3,000. The secre tary's salaries was reduced from $2,000 to $1,500. The National Lecturer will receive 84 a day and expenses instead of S2,000 a year. Members of the exec utive comutittee will receive $4 a day instead of $5. In the future the executive commit tee will be composed of live members. The president js one of the members, and the other four will be elected an utially to serve only one year. The constitution was also amended so that miiembers of the order can be taken from cities and towis of 50K)0 in habitants or le s. Memorial services were held to-night in honor of lion. L. L. Polk, formnerly president. The election of otliuers will probablv take place to-morrow. lEMNus, Nov. 17.-Despite the ef forts made by his friends, the Tillman Wetters continue to be a source of tur quoil at the Alliance convention. The Dody went into secret session at 10 o'clock this morning, and one of Loucke's cupporters expressed a deter mination to introduce a resolution bringing the whole matter before the Alliance, and then demanding Till man's expulsion from the order for us ing his oflicial position to aidl the Dem ocratic party. Th'le friends of TPillman dleclare in this event they will intro duce a counter resolution, demanding the expulsion of all the of licers of thme Alliance whoi madle campaign speeches for the Third party and the liepublicani party. Taubeneck, one of the Third party leaders, while he doces not appear on the floor of the convention, is charged by the McCune faction with trying to throw the Alliance into his party, anti also trying to secum e the expulsion of Tillmnan. Taubener k remains in his room In the hotel, :mnd refuses admit lance to all except L.ouckes and a few of his friende. All of the Southmerma delegates except thie members from Georgia are support ing McCune for presiden '. John McD)owell, one of the most in fluential members of Ll.he Alliance, it is claimed by McCune's friends, has ex perienced a change of heart, and will throw his strength to M cCune. T he Northern and WVestern People's party enthusiasts claim that if McCune is elected his association with Tillman as a member of the executive board will cause the disintegrat ion of the or der. 11. C. Taubeneck made a desperate rally of the P'eople's party forces this afternoon. IIeretofore the~ chlarrman of the executive committ.ee conhined himself to his room In his hotei, and did his work through messengers. 11e had smooth sailing, and for a while it seemed that the Alliance was going to elect Louckes and an entire coterie of oflicers belonging to the most radical win g of the Third party; but Farmer Bleck of Alabama, one of the Alliance delegates who fought Kolb and other Third party candidates in that State, came to Mc'Cune's rescue, and took~up the fight in his behalf and organized the opposition to Taubeneck. This af ternoon, when the Alliance adjourned, McCune's stock was .going up so fast that Taubeneck abanaoned his room and sallied Into the hotel rotunda, and began to buttonhole his wavering fol lowers. Beck was there, too, and he made capital out of the fact that TIaubeneck, who is a member of the order, was at tempting to shape its policy. Taube neck, however, continued his efforts in behaif of Louckes. Gen. Terrell of Texas, who is also working for Macune, lent a helping hand. Mr. Beck thus discussed the fight: "The success of Taubeneck means the crippling of the Alliance. We desire to keep it out of politics, but If Taubeneck succeeds, the order wvill be the tall of the Third party kite. I do not intend that a party of place hunters ,shall use t he order for their own endi, lf I can help It." At 8 o'clock ihe members started to the hail to decide, by ballot, the ques tion as to who should rule the order. Important among the demands of the Farmers Alliance and industrial Un Ion today Is one for a railroad from British America to the Gulf, through Webraska, Kansas, Missouri, Indian Werritory and Texas to some point on the gulf, probably Galveston, The road Is to be chartered by the National Government, and the people along the line are expected to help. The States will be asked to donate all convict la bor not actually employed In peniten tiaries. A Splt Probable. . MEhPIHS, Nov. 18.-The knot Id the 'Varmiers Alliance culminated in a bolt bemorning, and those opposed to tbe pe's party ceptured th body, held S? Su, and ooncluded to form a new stlon ernbQdying the doctrines of aence, but ho1ding aloof from The Taubeneck crowd having the conference, many of the ~ refused to attend the exeu Live session. At 9 o'clock they, got to 7ether and affected a temporary organ ization, and began to shape matters for Lhe issuance of a manifesto. The correspondent of the United I Press found Mr. Macune in his room, and that gentleman made the follow ing statement; "I withdrew from the convention hAll because the national comtnittee of the People's party have come hero and are attempting to secure control of the Alliance. They have used foul means, and have gone so far as to make up a slate of State officers. Considering that these men were in control of the convention, and hal de termined to carry out their measures contrary to the Alliance traditions arid I principles, I withdrew from the hall I and shall remain out as long as such I methods are being used to divert the purpose of the Alliance. The delegates who left the hall felt the same as 1 did about the matter." "Does this mean that you will try to form those thinking as you do into a separate organization ?" "Not necessarily; but if such an asso clat ion is formed, the demand for it is t from the people who do not desire to I see the principles advocated by the Farmers Alliance go to naught because designing politicians have succeeded in I capturing the present, organization. Taubeneck and half a dozen national committeemen of the Third party have I held secret sessions here daily, and so far have shaped the entire policy of the organization through their tools on the convention floor." The election of officers was begun at 11 o'clock and ended in two hours. 11. L. Loucks, of South Dakota, was re elected president; Marion Butler, of C North Carolina, vice-president; L. -. 8 Taylor, of Nashville, secretary; Ben. I Terrell, of Texas, national lecturer. Members of executtve board: L 1 Leonard. Missouri; Mann Page, Vir- i ginia; 1. E. Can, New York; 11. C. 1 Deining, Pennsylvania. The Third party slate was not broken. The closing session of the convention was held tonight, when the newly elect- V ed ollicers were installed, in the pres ence of about one-half of the delegates. The others, diagusted at the result, re- e mianed away from the hall. A num ber of these delegates insist that as soon as Lhey return home and announce t the result to their State Alliance, a v withdrawal from the national body n will take place and a new order will be d formed. h Loucks' opponents held a meeting c and issud a manifesto against the methods of the Third party men, accus ing them of an attempt to disrupt the order. Parks, of Texas, took the docu nent to the conivention hall at 3 o'clock and read it to the delegates. Later A nm bn er of friends of Macune's C gath.red in his room aid discussed fur- t ther operations. Among then were C John 11. McI)owell, G'overnor Buchan i an, Hen Terrell, of Texas, and Stcretary t Taylor. Terrell and Taylor, though i elected to ollices, are insympathy with a Macunie, and when the signal is gi fon, I their fric'ids assert, they will cast their t fortunes with the new body. Their election was an. attempt to conciliate the Ilacure faction, but it was a fail ure. 'ronight the ollicers were iustalled la one room, while in another an open Al liance meeting was held. Mactine came into the hall and spoke, scoring [ the members of the Third party execu- c tive comm11lttee, several of whom were I in the audience. 'he re-election of President Loucks a was a triunph for the third party men I and will certainly injure the organiza- t tion, especially in tihe South where a maijority of thte members ot tile Alli-.i ancue are Democrats. Already thtere aire unmistakable evi dlencesof a biolt. Dr. Macuine has with- E diawn from the national body and is prep)arinlg ran adldress which will be a 3ign~ed by the dielegates from every 0 Southern State, and which sets forth he p)ositioni he assumes and which was nade necessary by the action of thme ~onvention.a P'resident Loucks represents what is lesigniated by manty of the delegates as he political faction of the third party , md under htis leadershrip t bey think he b viil endeavor to swing the organriza. di ion ats a body into litre wvith the lead- 0f rs ot tire third party and the non-polit cal standing of the order will be lost. G Duiring the heated discussion last ~ ighlt ,Jonn F. Tillmaa denounced Mr. cot.t, of Kansas, as a coward and a, counrdrel. Congressman Otis, of Kansas, in see mading thre nomination of Loucks,said: s 'lif M'acune is elected president, we of ~ she West will have to withdraw from t.he national order for we have had snoughl of the purchased allies of South ern Democracy." Lt was alter these utterances, which S were loudly applauded by the friends y of Loucks, that General WVest, of MIs sissippi, wvithdrew Macune's name from e before the convention. WVest went on t o say thtat while ihe and his colleagues e frent Mississippi would not withadraw fromt the order they would retire from the order, arid lhe left. lien Terrell, of Texas, answered Otis'2 attack oni Macuine and said that his (Otis') utterances would drive 50,000 men out of the Alliance in the South. D)elegates fitom Alabama, Texas, Ten nessee, M ississl ppi,1"lor ida, South Caro lina, Kentucky and Ohio, to the num ber of 255, had a memorial spread on the intutes today deciaring the "false, cruel, unojust warfare which has been waged upon Birother Clo. Macutne by part.isan leaders throughrout the couan try whitsc chief object was the (destruc tion of our noble order and asserting, "our fuIlle't coinfidenice in brother Ma cune and in ihe c beief thtat hie has bieen slandered and maligned ini the most wicked manner without a pre 'edent In political partisan warfare ot this coun try arid by enemies of organized labor andt productive industry." Th le convention closed its labors to nighlt by Installing the niewly elected Dificers. To Ruin Musiani i L0ND)ON, Nov.17.-Theo Iherhnu cor- K resp(,ndect of the Times says: "Frederick Engels, in the socialist or ganr Vorwariz, claims that he predlicted1 four years ago the dlownfall;of pi'otection in America, and that now tire second portion ol his prophecy Is on the eve of fulillment--namely, the destruction of Englaad 's monopoly of ths world 's trade through the advent of free tr ide in America. Engeis adds that there will be I man industrial struIggle such as the world. has never before seen, that the dismal story of the last decado wIth respect to ti cotton and woolen fabrios, so familiar t' to every Lancashire operative. will re- k peat it.self in every other fild of indus- si try, and that Great britain will sink to d the position of Holland unless thre work- h lug classes come to the rescue by adopt ing sociaism." THE Q~UARREL in the Nationai Alli ance between the adherents of the De mocracy and the third party is an un fortunate affair. If the Alliance is to survive and do the grand work it was I organized to do, it must eschew parti zan politics altogether, and let its mem- t bers vote as they choose. The day that the Ahilance is committed to any politi- a eal party its doom is sealed. t SAVING THE SALARIFS.
