our best attention and unqualified support
When ws oamiraed ourofflclal rcsponslbllltl
our first effort was to resuscitate the order,
whleh we found to be In a disorganized and de-
moralized condition. In this effort we were
confronted with greet difficulties—z depleted
treasury, the Southern Mercury luaolvent, with
all the expenses of the last State Alliance and
some other debts unpeld. together with
some desentlons In onr ranks which culminated
In the laaulng of what Is known as the Austin
manifesto, the establishment of an anti-alliance
paper and the convening of a convention in
opposition to the demands of the order (the
efficto of whloh 1 am proud to state passed like
a miasmatic fog before tbe rising sun), and tbe
power .and Influence of monopoly
confronting ns on svery side; but
with
and
earnest co
fronting us on ovary side;
h preslstont effort upon our part,
I tbe unselfish, self-sacrificing and
earnest omqpera'lon of a few faithful lecturers
together with apatrlolic devotion of the mem
bershlp that stands without a precedent, we
have triumphed and now turn hack to you the
Fanners' Htet* Alliance in a healthy and pro
gressive condition aa will be shown by the
various report*. Brethren, with the present
outlook we have every reason to be encouraged.
The Increase of membership, tbe firmness of
our people, the noble cause u whloh we or* In
listed, all foretell a victory whose matin hours
are hailed with delight by an enslaved people.
We would exhort yon to deal gently with the
erring, exercise charity toward offender*, con-
strue words end deeds in their most favorable
light; but remember It Is our solemn duly to
defend the principles ol our order until death.
Remember In these things essential w* must
have unity, also that It Is better to prune then
destroy end that eternal vigilance la the price
of liberty. Respectfully submitted,
President Farmers' State Alliance of Texas.
The appointment by the president
ot Mt. Hubbard as corresponding sec-
retary was ratified by the convention.
At the afternoon session ot the body
some resolutions relating to the condi-
tion and good ol the order were intro-
duced and referred to appropriate
committees. The Injunction of secrecy
is on these and not one would be fur-'
nlshed (os publication.
The following xins offered by MrJ
Bennett ol LimezKTSo and passed
unanimously:
Whereas, the signers of the Austin manifesto
end their allies hare pubHshed to tbe world
that they would be before this body with proof
to sustain their action; therefore be It
Resolved, That this body grant them full
privilege to do so at say time during this
meeting.
A resolution waa Introduced provid-
ing for tbe appointment of a commit-
tee to look into the present condition
of the cotton crop and see what oould
be done, if anything, to relieve the
distress likely .to ensuo. The resolu-
tion also said that the farmer wanted
the oo-operation of everybody.
Tbe balance of tho standing com-
mittees were then appointed and tho
meeting adjourned for the day.
At night there was an open meeting
for everybody, which was entertained
with an address from tbe Hon. Hen
Terrell, the assistant national lecturer.
He was introduced to the audience by
President Jones as a man who had
carried the Alliance bannor in every
section of this country, from Wall
street to the Kio Grande, and had
never permitted Its folds to trail In the
dust. Mr. Tflrroll was g roe tod with
loud applause. He said that the Al
ejected from the premises without cere-
mony.
The above aecusatlon caused tho ap.
polntment of a committee of Investiga-
tion. which inter on submitted ^the
following report:
Mr. Chairman and brethren of ttia
Farmers' (State Alliance o'rTexas: We.
your eommitteo appointed to correal
an arliefo appearing in this morning's
News beaded. “Ejocted from the hall,”
beg leave to submit tho following re-
port;
1. N.o one was ojoeted from tho hall
for any cause whatever.
2. Tho indication of feeling ou the
part of the body, as manifested on
yesterday with respect to tho' sub
treasury plan, snows conclusively there
was bu*; ono sentiment of fueling in
this body and that was -manifestly in
favor of the sub-treasury.
Mr. Murry’s name was not montlon-
ed in till# body a* being In favor of or
against The sub-treasury, nor would
this body have ejected him for the
reason that ho was an antl-sub-tiwaaiiry
man nor tho reporter of an anti-sub-
treasury paper.
Mr. Murry withdrew from this body
on hi* own ucooi'd, as wo believe, for
foar of the action of this body with re-
spect to traitors of the cause, and 11
the doors lie barred to him It will not
bo bocauso hols an anti-sub-treusuryito
-but because he has violated the Alli-
ance principles aud his obligation.

nouncement Dr. C, W. Maoune deliv-
ered a public address upon the de-
mands of the Alli&uuo at tho audito-
rium pf the city ball. He was intro-
duced by Mr. Leverston us ' 'the man
whose devoted head bad been tho tar-
get for more villainous attacks than
had fallen to the lot of any other in-
dividual in the Alliance.” As Dr.
Maoune advanced to tho table he was
greeted with round* of applause.
After quiet was restorod ho roforred
briefly to the organization of the Farm-
ers' Alliance and bow it had outspread
every other organization of a similar
nature and how it was still growing
greater ovefy day in spite of attacks
from within and without; be took up
tho Ocala platform and read each de-
mand; sold every man within the
sound of his voloo would probably be
called upon to defend those demands
and it bohooved every person to study
them well and ponder them deeply; he
did not suppuso there was a per-
son within the sound of his voice who
was so foolish as to stand out against
the governmental control of railroads
and telegraph line*; for twenty-five
years the price of labor and the price
ol agricultural products have been
getting cheaper; a dollar would not
buy as much to-day as it use to; the
people bad more than four times paid
the amount of the government debt
and it is twice as large as it was
twenty-five years ago; Wall street had
grown rich at the expense of tbe
farmer, by oauslng the scaiolty of
money ha tbe fall when the farmer
wanted to sell, and by creating a surplus
of money in the (priog when he was
forced to bay, while everything was
high; Liverpool and Wall street con-
trol the agricultural products of the
world; he said that cotton and wheat
bad been made tho basis of tbe flexible
volume of money to result from tbe
operation of the sub-treasury because
they were the two things oauslng all
the trouble and because they were the
fading articles of export; he said ha
was not a politician and bad nothing
to do with politics and closed his re-

A Word or Ahvick.—Wednesday
afternoon, when Maj. Thomas rode
Into town and brought the news that
an unknown white man was lying
dead In the hall, our coroner was so
drunk that he could not taka
charge of the case. Thl» is only
ono of several occasions, and wa
think the time han now arrived
for us to observe that if Dlik Blodgett
doesn't brace right up and head in a
new direction something will happen.
Out this way we never wait to Impeach
an incompetent official, nor Is a com-
mittee appointed to ask him to resign,
lie is pulled up to a limb and then
given a chance to git. If he doesn’t
take it, the next pull leaves him up
there.
In this instance tbo dead man turned
ont to bo old Jim Carnahan, who ought
to have turned up hi* toe* long ago,
and who went out and died to get rid
of hi* own company. But that's no
excuse for Dick. Business la business,
and he ha* got to*be sober enough to
toll the dead body of a man from a mule
and proceed a; oordlngly or a shadow
will fall across hi*'path.
Nxvxb DtD It.—Our esteemed con-
temporary came ont in a doub’.e-leaded
editorial yesterday charging ue with
many bad things, and advising' tbe peo-
ple of this town bp shoot us f till of lead.
We think he wfote tlio article under
a misunderstanding, lie knew that
we know he hud been In the
Ohio penitentiary for stealing l we cows
and a lot of pork. He supposed we
were the only ono dohkcscoiI of the
knowledge, and when he found the
■tory nil around town tho other day he
lumped to the conclusion that we had
betrnyed lila confidence. We never did
It. Bill Overton spouted it while half
drunk, and the way Bill came tp know
waa because ho went to tho aame prison
at the same time for stealing fortyn
bushels of wheat of the same farmer.;.
