St. Louis, Feb. 24.—[Speotal.]—The
Convention today finally adopted a
strong Third party platform. The
Third Party is burdened with an ex
ceeds gly weighty political creed es
pecially adopted for its own peouliar
flexible purposes, bearing the stamp of
endorsement c>f the industrial Confer
ence.
It is formally offered to the weak
kneed and dissatisfied members of the
two old parties.
Livingston and other Southern dele
gates who are p1< dg* d to the Demo
cratic party unconditionally fought the
movement of the Third party and great
ly retarded its final formation.
The majority of the delegates present,
w< re in favi r of the immediate con
struction of the new political party,and
determined to carry ont their scheme.
They knew what they wanted hut did
not know exactly what plan to adopt
to get it, so it wou’d bear the proper
and desired stamp of endorsement.
It was dcoided to direct the conven
tion into a mass meeting, turned the
Blue and Gray mass meeting. This
give the puller more rope and the tug
of war between the opposition South
erners and the majority of Third party
advc o&tes commenced.
General Weaver, of Iowa, was in the
chair. The project worked and in a
short time the whele thii g had reaohed
well developed infant with a lot of
tender nurses.
A resolution by Mr. Branch, of Geor
gia, to hold the Democratic and Repub
lican parties jointly responsible for the
condition of the poor people was ta
bled.
His Widow Describes the Great
Preacher's First Brooklyn Sermon.
Mrs. Henry'Ward Beecher gives an
interesting account of the first sermon
preached by Mr. Beecher in Plymouth
cbuiob, Brooklyn, in b< r fifth paper on
“Mr Beecher as I Knew Him,” in the
March Ladies Home Journal. A per
fect flood of warnings and criticisms
came to him before bis first sermon.
Doubtless all these warnirgs determined
Mr. Beecher more than aught else that
the people of his new church should

AT THE MEETING.
St. -Louis, Feb. 24—The Georgia
delegation held a caucus yesterday after
noon, at which Moses demanded the
credentials of the election of Post,
Branch and Parker, and here is what
came ont:
Gilmore was appointed by Humph
reys, of Texas, to represent the negro
alliancemen of Georgia and given eleven
votes, which would indicate that there
are 110 negro alliancemen in Georgia.
When the National Citizens’ Alliance
eanenssed at the organization of the
convention, there were members enough
in the several states to entitle them to
twenty-five delegates, bat there were
not states enough, so three votes were
given to Ellington, Parker and Branch.
Burying the Bloody Shirt.
At 9 o’clock a m., a remarkable scene
occurred in the music hall. Two hun
dred old soldiers inarched upon the
stage—an old Confederate arm-in-arm
with an old Federal—and the moet in
tense excitement prevailed. An old Fed
eral, Watterson, of Indiana, was pre
sented to open the meeting with prayer.
He began in the usual manner, but
grew excited, opened bis eyes snd mads
a regular speech instead of prayer, ray
ing, “The bloody shirt has been buried
deep, and on it written, *No resurrec
tion,’” at which a storm of “am
and a burst of applause followed.
Branch introduced a resolution pro
testing against the condition of the
common people of- this country today,
and holding tne Democratic ana Repub
lican parties responsible for it, and
moved the suspension of the rules for
its adoption. A Kansas delegate moved
to lay on the table, but it was lost. Ben
Terrell, who had been called to the
chair, ruled that the resolution was ont
of order, as this conference met for the
purpose of making a platform on which
all labor organizations could stand.
Branch arose to protest when some
one colled ont, "Appeal from the decis
ion. "
He did appeal from the decision of
the chair, but, before the question could
be put, he agreed for the resolution to
i*y on the table until the committee on
platform reported.

sentence of bis prayer, as bis heart rose
heavenward, the effeit of the preacher
became visible on bis oongregition, and
he brought his hearers close to the mer
cy-seat. All wasohaug* d. An almost
breathless solemnity pervaded the
church, and tears were on many faces
The youthful look vanished and did
not return, as, in bis sermon, he plainly,
and with great solemnity, showed his
he*r> rs the course duty called him to
p* rsue. As he said of these remarks
years after: “I lifted up the banner aud
blew the trump t in the application of
Christianity to intemperance, to slavery,
and all other great national sins. 1
said to those present, ‘if I remain here
and you come to this church, it muBt at
t ie commencement to distinctly nndei*
stood that I wear no fetters, that l
will be bound by no pr* cedent,
ar-d that I wi'-l prei-ch »he Gospel as 1
apprehend it, whethei men will hear or
whether they will forbear, and I will
: pply it sharply and strongly to the
overflow of every evil, ard to the up-
buildingof all that is good.’”
After the close of the sermon many
came to counsel Mr. Beecher. They
were actuated by kindness to him and
anxiety for the church. Such bold,
pi on speaking they did not understand.
They bad never been used to it. It
would overthrow this young church.
“Don’t ally yourself to unpopular
men or unpopular causes,” they told
him. '‘There is no oall for it. You
will only injure yourself aud break up
this chuich.”
After preaching a month iu Plymouth
Church, he was installed as pastor on
November 11th, 1847.
A Jew Peddler Lost,
Augusta, Feb. 24—S. Sternberg, a
dry goods merchant of this city, has re
ported the mysterious disappearance of
J. Kitai, a Russian, whom he started
out on the road last December to peddle
goods. Katai was last heard from De
cember 14th, when he wrote from
Wards, S. C-, for more goods. Stern
berg believes Katai has been foully mur
dered and his body secretly buried. He
does not believe the man has acted
wrong.
Bishop Nelson Consecrated.
Atlanta, Feb. 24—Rev. C. Kinlocb
Nelson has been ordained and conse

of the diocese of Georgia. The beauti

led all who oonld possibly do so to at

in St Lake’s cathedral.

three minutes General Weaver was in
the chair, snd the first proceedings of

inaugurated.
It was in the form of a mass meeting,
which was to set in motion the machin
ery of the new party.

his untiring energies and see the frui

While yet it is a new bora babe, he
may be willing that its standard—which
will inevitaliy go down in defeat this
year—be borne in the hands of another.
But, this far-sighted man can see in the
near future something more than an in

defeat. He sees his party in full vigor of

party will not carry many states
this year, but will get a large vote in
the south, with a fighting chance for
success in Nebraska, Kansas and South
Dakota. Ia the southern states the al-
ttanoe, oven in Georgia, has lost some

prospects of it giving birth to a third
party. Nevertbless, the new party will
give the democrats plenty to do this

The Platform.
The fir t grout labor conference of the
United States and cf the world, repre
senting all divisions of urban and rural
organized indu-try, assembled in na
tional congress, invoking up n its ac
tion the blessing and protection
of Almighty God, put
foith to and for the producers of the
nation, this declaration of union and
independence. These cord'tions
whioh surround us best just ; fy our co
operation. We meet in the midst of a
nation brought to the verge of moral,
politcial and material ruin. Corrup
tion demands the ballet box, legisla
tures, congress, and touches even the
ermine of the bench. The people are
demoralized. Many of the states have
been compelled to isolate their voters
at the polling pbioes, in order to pre
vent universal intimidation or bribery.
Newspapers are subsidized, or muz
zled, public opinion silenced, business
prostrated, our homes covered with
mortgages, labor impoverished and
and land concentrating in the hands of
capitalists. Urban workmen are de
nied the right of organization for wdf-
S reteotion, imported pauperized labor
eats down their wages, a hireling
standing army, unrecognized by our
laws, is established to shoct them down,
and they are rapidly degenerating to
European conditions.
The fruits of the toil of millions are
bodily stolen to build up colossal for
tunes, unprecedented in the history of
irohibit. d. All land now held by
rai roads and otL>> r corporations in ex
cess of their actual needs and all 1- nl
now owned by aliens sbonld be reclaim

tual settlers (nly.
10. Transpoi tatiou being the means
cf expense and a public necessity the
government should own and operate
roads in the interest of the^ieople.
11. The telegraph and tel phone, like
the postal system, being necessary for
the transmission rf news, should be
owned and operat'd by the government
in the interest of the people.
12. We demand that the government
issue legal t* nd< r notes and pay union
soldiers the difference between the price
of the depreciated money in which he
was paid and gold.

ence as the consummationxf the perfect
union of hearts and hands of all sec
tions < f our common couiftry, men who
