ADVANCEMENT OF TITIS CHEAT ORDER.
THIS PROCEEDINGS BRIEFED.
The importanT devcloprriient of Thurs
day was the foimul itimi of a Call for a
Electing jn Cincinnati on the 23d of Feb
ruary, to organize the national union par
ty. It is evident that the^Tarmers 1 Alli
ance, as a body, will not endorse the
third party idea. The southern inembeis
and the Missouri delegation have their
axes firmly #et against fl move which
would be so ilafhnging to tlie order in the
south, and as tficy conaiithte tin over
whelming majority of the membership
and the representatives here, no such ac
tion could be hoped for by the western
delegates who are pushing the third party
idea. < r *
Realizing that an ntjempt to seoure tho
endorsement of the convention would be
dcatu to (heir project, they have shrewd
ly concluded to make an individ
ual crusade, capturing an ABianccman
here and there in the South, and rnktng
in the most of them in the West. With
tills U'J'i'M (o jhe [hO. 000 colored voters,
v.lio await gluon, they will Itive a party
over 1,000,000 strong tb shut on. Th*
scheme is One of inmirffse political im

Thursday night the Allinncc bad an
of/eti meeting, addreshetl by sjM'akers
from tho c olored Allisnce anil ,qf thy
Knights of. Labor. There was a full at
tendance Of Allifiuecroen, who seemed to
enjoy the meeting intensely.
A negro from South Furohna made a
speech in which he rejoiced in tlie elee
tion of Tillman and overthrow of the
aristocracy.
Another negra, L D- Mijler, of Jjau
isiatia, said rite, colored people wanted
the Australian ballot, which the Farmers’
Alliance war going to giv e them
H irry Tracy, of Texas, a white man and
a i-eterau ftiliancc-nuMi, said the farmers
ware going to so’ve tin? negro problem.
They were the: friends of (he negro whom
they lmd boon separated from by (lie
chicanery of politicians. Pointing to the
negro aliiameemcn, he said: “We must
not leave here until we have formed a
federation with this organization-, which
will bear fruit in the years to come.” '
Mr, Barber, of Virginia, an aged Alii
aneomao, said to the ne-to speakers:
“Go back and'tell your people that yon
have forgotten republicanism, that yon
Imve fofgotfp’n dorfic'draoy', wid that the
k’nimera’ VPtfßu c} hasf risen up in tho

There is a sirong effort being imgfle
to have the aotion by thb National Alli
"nee again-t the elections bill expunged
from the records, and may amount to
something before the session closes,
At a meeting of tho National Colored
Alliance, during the afternoon, a resolu
tion, was offered rc iting the fact that tho
Farmers’Alliance aimed at the better
ment of the condition of tlie farmers in-'
dustrially, morally and socially,
and regretting Criticism and
condemning the action of the
white alliance in passing tlic resolution
Wednesday in opposition to the federal
elections bill, because such-action has no
reference whatever to the aims and pur
poses of the organization, and was calcu
lated to check the gyowth and influence
of tho alliance. The resolution will prob
ably pass.
The alliance press .committee requests
the publication of the following: “U.
