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

have held secret ge-sions here daily, and so Ueoi

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

Later a number of friends of Macuoe'i
gathered in his room and disscussed furtbci
operations. 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.
