iffThe workof the antisubtreasury and anti
hiiil jiarty convention that has luen in te
fsion in thij city for two day was linished
yast cveninirat > oclock As foreshadowed
tUiQitjAZKTTE of yesterday morning a-
very sensible and sound platform was
adopted It takes the Alliance back to its
days of primal purity when it vis not torn
and racked by internal dissensions or the
reckless ambition of demagogues They
desire the Alliance to be as originally in-
tended reo from > olitieal affiliation
That this Fort Worth convention is one
whose influence will be farreachiiiL in ex-
tent the following dispatch from Topeka
IOn by the Associated Press will attest
The Alliance leader of Kansas are
gii atly chagrined and worried at the action
of certain leaders of the Southern Alliance
in calling the Fort Worth Tex convention
to resolve against the subtreasury idea
They claim that it is a scheme of Southern
Democrats to break up the Alliance and
that prominent Democratic congressmen
are at the bottom o it
The Kansas lenders fear this action is but
thebeginniug of a movement that will dis-
rupt the organization in Kansas as thou-
sands of Kepublicans who affiliated with
the Peoples partv last year would follow
the course of their Southern brethren and
go back to their old party
It is a fact that this convention is re-
markable not only for its work and out-
spoken belief but its personnel is worthy
of note and may be summarized as follows
All were members of the Alliance
All were fanners
All have an occupation
All are clean men
Xone are iu the pay of coriwrations
Xoue came here ou free paves
None were from Kansas or Michigan
None were implicated m wrecking
DRY GOODS

the
Alliance exchange
None have ever looted an Alliance
treasury
None who have ever been whitewashed
> o expelled preachers
Jy one whose neighbor would not believe
him on oath
None who have l > ccn conspicuous failures
in life
All were straight goods and no shoddy
As Dr Morrow expressed it last night
Our purpose is to save the Alliance and
denounce the methods of her opponents
We have been denounced as traiors and
threats of expulsion hangover us but truth
crushed to earth will rise again and the
sober secondthought of the people is never
wrung
The action of yesterdays convention is
not confined to Texas aloue it is national iu
its scojie It is tho keynote and its vibra-
tions will extend all ovr the nation caus-
ing the masses of the Alliance to tiock to its
standard and again render the organization
as it was in the days of yore pure free and
untrammeled by political affiliations

liance was called to order by Chairman
Kendrick The report of the committee on
resolutions was called for and the commit-
tee asked for further time stating that the
resolutiots would be ready for reading by
oclock in the afternoon The time asked
for was granted Immediately afterward
Hon C S Hall of Missouri who had been
advertised to s > eak was introduced and ad-
dressed the audience for two hours His
sjieech was a masterly effort reviewing iu
all their phase both the tariff aud the s ib
treasury questions His propositions vere
clearly laid down and are clearly defined
amrhhe audience was held to a man during
the entire course of his argument Mr
Hall showed the pernicious effect of the
robber tariff which he said was the off-
spring of the Republican party nm tured
and fostered by them Thar the system of
protective tariff bore more heavily on the
tarmer than any otlu vocation because
they alone of all who engaged iu the every-
day exchange of ivtminoilities could
not fix a price en their pro-
ducts that every other tailing
was able to ask a living price for what it
produced but the price on the product of
the farmers labor was fixed by others be-
sides himself Mr Hail then took up the
subtreasiiry scheme and dwol on it at
length showing its utter impracticability
anil holding up to light its weak points He
cioed his remarks by warning the Alli-
ance to steer clear of this ignis fatuti the
subtreasury scheme and to tight it and
down it at any cost for if allowed to stay
it would be the disruption of the Farmers
Alliance
At the conclusion of Mr Halls speech
the audience showed its hearty approval by
nrolouged aaplaue When order was re-
stored some inquiries were made relative to
the investigation of Maeunes rccoid that
took place it Oeala Mr Hall lieing a mem-
ber of the investigating committee He
then disiloed the whitewashing method
indulged in at Oea a when lie alone refused
to whitewasi lum Maeune s demagogy
and chicanery was freely reviewed and his
character presented a orry invtarle when
Mr Hall hail done The convention then
adjourned till < > when Hon W S Me
Alcster ol Misissippi was advertised to
si > eak
Tlie Afternoon seHioii
At i ZO oclock the convention reassem-
bled and proceeded it once to business 1 >
F Hegels presented the foliuii ing resolu-
tions for the considerate n of the body
Whereas as the eitiruiis of For Worth
through their mayor having tendered to
us the hospitalities of the city and having
done all in their power to make our stay in
their city pleasant now therefore be it re-
solved by this convention of representa-
tive Alliance men that the thanks of this
body be and are hereby tennercd to the
citizens of Fort Worth for this kindness
assuring them that if our stay has not
been pleasant it is no fault of theirs ami
that the press of tho city be requested to
publish this resolution
Whereas gnve charges and accusations
have been made against President Fvau
Jones and other prominent Alliance char
actors and
Whereas said charges and accusations
are made in such a way as to seriously em-
barrass the good work of the order in Texas
and also impair its usefulness and
Whereas if said charges are true which
we do not assent the parties accused de-
serve aud ought t > receive the condemna-
tion of all honest men and
Whereas the chief actors in making their
charges demand ol the accused an investi-
gation Now therefore Im it
Resolved as the sense of this convention
that President Evan Jones owes it to him-
self and to the order that he submit to a
fair aud impartial investigation of ah the
charges that lave been made against him
and K J Sledge owes it to himself the or-
der and the cause of truth and justice to
submit to a like investigation as to the
charges made against huu iu Georgia as a
bribetaker and corruptionist
Resolved further that we deprecate the
wholesale denunciations by President Joues
and others of their accusers rather than a
submission to an investigation
Resolvedfurtherthat we pledge ourselves
to assist by all honorable means iu bringing
about said investigation aud that if Presi-
dent Jones and others who have been ac-
cused can successfully and before an im-
partial tribunal route the charges against
them we will surely assist him and them
to forever expel tho accusers lrom the
order
And resolved further that until Presi-
dent Jones and others who have been ac-
cused refute the charges against them
that it is tho sense of this convention that
they are at least restiug tinder a cluuu ami
that a copy of these resolutions be furnished

Resolution No J was read u follows
Whereas the state Alliance last August
in Dallas referred the scheme known is the
subtreasury plan bail to the sub aud
county Alliances for consideration and ac-
tion aud
Whereas we believe this plan to be
1 Contrary to the Alliance principles of
equal justice to all and ivcial privileges to
noue
2 That it is another movement towards
centrafration of poucr and parental gov-
ernment
8 That instead of increasing it will le set
the amount of money in circulation
1 That instead of raising the price of
farm products it will only give speculators
and the money power a surer and stronger
hold on the market prices
That it is impractical visionary aud a
probable campaign motemcnt originated by
our enemies to split the Alliance
Therefore be it resolved by Austin
county Alliance in tegular session that we
are opposed to the said subtreasury plau
and that our delegate to the state AlUanco
lie instructed to vote against it
After the reading of the last resolution
Hon W S McAIestcr wii introduced and
proceeded at once to his subject which wis
an exiiositioii of the objects and principles
for which the Alliance was organized
