Colonel Livingston states emphati cally that no Alliancamaa is bound to the Third party in any way by the ac tion of the convention. He thinks that Three of the National Democratic convention will make & platform at Chicago which will embody the demands of the Al liance. ; "fcfo'i ?. «* single Cleveland; gia, I have yet to meet trim.’ candidly that Mr.: - ^‘ v In Geor- I tell you Cleveland on n t carry this state, even if nominat d, and it would be priitical suicid ; on the pari of the democrats to select him as their standard bearer.” ’■ “Will the Allianeemen go , into tin* Democratic county mass meeting or primaries?” “Yes, most of them will, for even tbe Third party advocates concede.tbe- foot that there is no possible chance for them to elect a president this year, and they can only result in (browing the elec tion into the house, which is over whelmingly Demioratic. Of course, hey do not want to see Mr- Cleveland, tbe candidate of Vfall street, . tb cted, for it would mean a repudiation of >ur demands for relief. “Allianeemen are conservative, and when they study the situation I believe tbat they wilt .remain almost solidly with the Democratic party. They see 1 that every leader of this Third parej movement. has selected an office io himself and that it violates, the princi ples of tbe Farmers.’ Alliance by mak ing it a partisan p >Iitic U organization. The National uemoqratio convention must adopt a broad aud liberal platform and nominate a, ticket, on which the farmers can rely. If this is done, the Third party will never gain a foothold in Georgia. “Should the dem> critic p irty hy mis chance nominate Mr. Cleveland for thv presidency, which I regard, as an im possibility, its effect will be very disa— rous iu strengthening the third p .r.>; in Georgia lc would do moretoei - oourage tbe movement than any r.th-r ten things tbat I know of, because th* alliance people are unanimous in their opposition to Cleveland, and they would regard his nomination as a direct affront to them and a notioe served that tbe democratic par ty did not want them ii its ranks, it would, be very differen should Mr. Hill be nominated. The al liance believes that he is in sympathy, with their demands for reform, and they like the earnest, straightforward, democratic wav that be has in dealing with : public affaire. They like his dem ocratic record; they admire his back bone, and they would supp*r: him almost to a man.. Should he be nominated, there is n< reason why Georgia should not roll up her old-time democratic majority- but. to be perfectly frank, 1 believe - Mri Cleveland’s nomination would lose the state to the democracy .” “What about the report that yOfl-iwil" accept a position on a Columbia, 8.
