/ " TURMOIL IN THE RATIONAL ALLIANCE. 1 TUB ORUBB CAPTHKKD BY THE TU1BD PARTY POLITICIANS. Memphis, Not. 17.?Despite the efforts mads by his friends, (he Tillman letters continue to be n source of turmoil at the Allienco cenvention. The body went inte secret ?cssion at 10 o'clock this morning, and one of Loucke'e supporters expressed a determination to introduce a reseluion bringing the whele matter before the A1 iance. and then demanding Tillman's expula on from the order for using his offioid position to aid the Democratic party. The friends of Tillman declare in this event they will iutreduce a counter resolution, demanding the expulsion of all the officers ef the Alliance who made campaign speeches for the Third party and the Republican party. Taubftieclc, one of the Third party leaders, while he does not appear on the floor of the convention, is charged bv the faction with trying to threw the Alliance into his parly, aud also trying to secure the expulsion of Tillman. Taubcneck romains in his room in tho hotol, and rofuses admittance to ull except Louckes and a fow of ^ bis friends. All of tho Southern delegates except tho members from Georgia arc supporting Macune for president. John McDowe 1, one of the most influential members of the Alliance, it is claimed by M'icune's friends, his experience! a change of heart, and will throw his strength to Macune. The Northern and Western People's party enthusiasts claim that if Macune is clec'ed his association with Tillman as a member of the executive board will cause the disintegration of the order. H. C. Tsubeneck tua lo a desperate rally of the People's party forces this afternoon. Heretofore the chairman of the executive committee confined himself to his room in his hotel, and did his work through rocssen gcrs. Lie Dal smooth sailing, and for a while it seemed that the All auce was going to elect Louckts and nu cut ire coteri of ollicers belonging to the most radical wing of the Third party ; but Farmer Iieck of Alabama, eno of the Alliance delegates who fought Ko b and other Third party candidates in that State, catne to Macune's rescue, and took up the light in his behalf and organized the opposition to Tauheneck. This afternoon, whon the Alliance adjourned, Macune's stock wns going up so fast that Tauheneck abandoned hts room and sa'lieu into the hotel lotuudn, and began to buttonhole his wavering followers. Iieck was there, too, and he made capital out of the fact that Ttnbeneck, who is n member of the order, was attempting to shnpo its policy. Tnubeneck, however, continued his efforts in behalf of Louckes. 1 Gen. Terrell, of Texas, who is also work- t ing for Macunc, lent a helping hand. Mr. licck thus discussed tho fight: "The success 1 of Tauheneck means the crippling of the t Alliance. We desire to keep it out of poli- < tics, but if Tauheneck succeeds, tho order i will bs the tail of the Th irtl imrtv Hio I I do not intend that a pnriy ?-f phieo-huntera a shall u?e the order for their own ends, if 1 e can helplt." 0 At eight o'clock the members rtartcd to ? the hall to dscide, by ballm, the question e ss 10 who should rule ihe ordsr. t TUB ALLIAKCK BOLT FROM TilK THIRD TARTV. Memphis, Not. 18.?The knot in the ? Farmers Alliance culminated iu a bolt this |{ morning, and tlio;e opposed to the People's cj party held a caucus, and concluded to form ? a new association etubo lying the doctrines 0, of the Alliance, but holding uloof from poli- a, tics. The Taubeneck crowd having cap- a, tured the coufcrencc, many of the delegate- a, refused to atteud the executive *e<sou. At ?. 0 o'clok they git together and atfcctod a e, temporary organizatieii, and began to stripe [v nit tiers for the i-suinoe of a manifesto. 1 he correspondent of the Uuited Press >a found Mr. Macune in Irs room, and that b8 gentienian made tho following statement: a0( 'I withdrew from the convention hall so because the national committee of the Peopie a paity have corns here and are attempt- S|t ing to secure control of the Alliance. They have used foul means, and have gone so far Ktn. " agen their measures, contrary to the f*cta Alliance traditions and principles, I with- this drew from the ball, and shall remain out to ht as long as such methods are besng used to we 4 divert the purposo of the Alliance. The cour delegates who left the. hall felt the same ss 1 sue I did absut ths matter." wliil Does this mean that you will try to form part these thinking as you do into a separate wo organization?" pers "Not necessari'y ; but if such an associa- fc?r tion is formed, ihe demand for it is from Stab the people who do not desire to see tlie prin- A ciple* a lvoca ed by Hie Farmers Alliance go ask to naught because de-igning politicians have 15 succeeded in capturing the present organi- ({. j /.at ion.

M. 1 Mr. Macune rcii'ed 10 another room when Dun thu bolting delegates bad assembled and the Car* work of mapping out a programme for \V. action was begun. Ohii Additional derails of last night's secret session am leaking out. Tillman called W Scott a liar an 1 a cowmd.

Among them were John ll McDowell, Governor Ruchanan, Ben Terrell of Toxas, and secretary Taylor. Terrell and Taylor, though elected to offices, are in sympathy with Macune, and when the sigoal is given, their friends assert, thes will cist their fortunes with the new body. Their election was an attempt to conciliate tho Macune faction, but it was a failure. Te-night the officers were installed in one room, while in another nn open Alliance meeting was held. Macune came into the hall ad i spoke, scoring the members of the Third party exeoutive committee, several of whom were iu the audience. Among llie resolutions passed today was one on the tomperancetquestion, pledging the support of the Alliance, s > far as a nonpiriisin organization cin lend aid, to the suppression of liquor driuking.
