This has been whispered around for some time. It has been published in your Aliiance puper, edited by Mr Irwin. It has gone to the world th^t Livingston has gone back on Aliianoe demands. These things have been said in my absence. I have been appealed to and begged to join the Third parly to prove 1 uave not gone back on the Alliance, but I am here to resort to bet ter evidence today than this would ever he. (A pplause.) “Now, let’s see if I have been a trai tor. Two years avo the Alliance was clamoring fi r reform. I was asked to ti -nme p esidentof the State Alliance. 1 entered the race unreservedly. Bear in mind how we all stood in those days.” Mere Colonel Livingston traced his connection with the Alliance, showing up the yard-stick they had made and how it had no Third party notch on i*. Then ho spoke of the rail r< ad plank in the Alliance plai- form, saying it had no goverumentown- i rship clatse, but a government con Livingston read the is(Colonel twelfth plank.’ _ Somebody asked. “Isn’t that a rcsilu tion—not a plank of the platform, Col onel?” “Is it? Will, that’s what Colonel Peek will tell you, but let’s see. The evidence is that I was in the convention myself. The next is a letter from Fran ces I?. Willard, who was there and a member of the committie to frame piat- forms. (Colonel Livingston read the le ter which stated pi i jly that the pei - sion provision was a part of the origin al pisiform and not a seperate resolu tion ) The evidence is conclusive,what more do you want? (Applause.) ’Again, I wrote to Mr. Fowderly, who has been for a long time grand master workman of the Knights of Labor, who was also there A telegram from • Washington reacned me at the Markham last night stating that be affirmed that it was in th platfotm.

They are leading you as'.ray, and you arc blinded. Will you follow them any longer?” “No, uc, We’re done with ’em,” was the loud chorus. An Ocala Democrat. Colonel Livingston said he was an Ocala Democrat. His platform via- more money, better money, widely dis tributed, government control of rail roads. “if this isn’t dem*cracy,” said he. “l’il go to Texas and climb into the first hollow tree I find. This is the kind of a democrat I am. Now you know what kind of a coon I am. (Laughter aud applause ) But I want to say to you tellowsout there on the outside, don’t think hard of these poor farmers It is no little thing with them. Ob, if you knew as 1 kuow the thin crust of corn bread they are eatiDg for their daily bread, if you knew their need, their distress, you would kuow how hopeless they have gro-vn. But, from such men as Crisp,'* and the crowd would hiss and murmur their discontent-at auch utterances. He pitched into the banking system and into the Democratic house for not passing a silver bill. Colonel Livingston again. When Colonel Livingston took the stand again.he said: “Peek tells us that the Lord is with them ib this Third party.

Colonel Livirgsron again touched up the third party convention at St. Louis; spying it was not in sym- pa'hy with the southern alliance. He suggest* d that the alliancemen go on in the demo ratio party.

All in all it was decidedly a splendid victory for Livingstofi and Democracy People who had gathered on th^ streets afterwards said it was the speech they ever heard. They compared >t to speech, s of Toombs,of Cobb and of Spe<rfor comparison of ability, and they acknowledged the truth of every argument Mauv Third paity men were converted outright.

He recalled that the alliance made a promise to the Dc-mo- cia:ic convention if they would allow them primaries, they would fight for re-l* rin in die Democratic ranks. This the Democrats granted.

Men went wild with enthusiasm. Democracy w as the' word aud the flush of patriotism and party loyalty was od. Colonel Peek’s Speech. Colonel Peek began by saying it was the happiest day of his life (laughter) when he could stand np and speak for the People’s party. But after tne first sentence he was in terrupted by much talking and discon tent in the hall. Colonel Livingston arose and said “Hear him. boys. Listen to Colonel Peek. I will talk again afterwards.” Peek asked Livingston how much time he would allow him. “Fifty minutes,” said Livingston. “Oh no.” shouted several voices, “Colonel Peek, you just endorse what Livingston said and let’s ail go home.” At this every body laughed. “Hush, boy«,” said Livingston “Let ’em alone,” said Peek, “I ain’t afraid of ’em.” Colonel Peak finally got started and went on to defend the Third party. He said the people had trusted the Demo cratic party toe long already and no good had come of it. He asked what the party had ever done for the peop olGeorgia. He said the Third party would give all it promised “Will it give ns pensions for yankee soldiers?” asked somebody sarcasti- ca l!y. “No,” answered Colonel Peek evasivi ly talking in praise of Colo- tbe leader, and the other Third party men. “AU,” said he, “they may cry JEFFERSON JOTTINGS.

It is to be regretted that the entire club was not present to hear him. The clnb then held its regular meet ing.

As high an authority as Greiner does not consider it necessary to apply a great deal of manure when first setting the permanent bed, though the soil must be good. His first choice in the selection of a site is a deep, warm, sandy loam, pref erably slightly sloping to south or south east: his uext choice is a light clay loam.

Louisville, Ky., April 12.—A nuptial night came near ending fatally for two young couples from the interior of this state. Both were joined in the after noon and reached the city for sapper. They registered at the Louisville Hotel as J. J. Bruges and wife, and M. M. Forester aud wife, aud were shown to adjoining rooms on the parlor floor. They retired early. Nothing more was heard trom them until in the morning, when the hall boy was making bis rounds, and in passing rooms 107 and 109 he detected a strong odor of escaping i ;as. He quickly summoned a clerk. Repeated knocks at the doors resulted in no answer, and entrance was finally effected by means of pass keys. Both couples were in bed and were roused h i with difficulty. One of the brides was almost dead. It was found that iu one room the two jets were turned full on, while gas was escaping from oue iu the other room. The two young couples were very ill all day, one of the ladies requiring the constant attention of hysician. It is the old story. They ilew out the gas. ASPARAGUS GROWN ABOVE GROUND. The two ways of growing asparagus, both fdr market and home nse, are illus trated in the accompanying cuts, repro duced from “How to Make the Garden Pay.” Mr. Greiner, the author, says: In the first, the plants are set shallow, 3 or 4 inches deep, and the stalks are broken or cut off near the surface of .ground when 6 or 8 inches high. This gives green “grass.” always ten der, bnt of pronounced favor. It is a favorite way with the home grower and in some markets. See first cut For most large markets the stalks are grown under ground, as in Fig. 2 in the second cut, aud are thus naturally blanched and of milder flavor. The preparation of the gronnd, setting the plants and after culture are much the same for both methods, except that the plants are placed 3 or 4 inches deep in one case, against 6 or 8 inches in the other. The least distance that should be given i a bed expected to yield fine large stalks for many years is 5 feet by 2, re quiring between 4,000 and 5,000 plants to the acre; and nothing can be gained by planting closer.
