eulogistic of President Harrison, denun¬
ciatory of the Democratic party in its
treatment of the negro in the south and
strongly in favor of the force hill, threw
the house into a state of excitement and
confusion highly entertaining to the gal¬
leries, but rather wearisome to the mem¬
bers of the appropriation committee, who
in vain appealed to the house for business.

SIGNIFICANT SIGNS.
Mississippi Alliancemea Refuse to En
dorse Third Party Principles.
Jackson, Miss., May 30.-The action
of ... the convention . of . ., the Farmers ,, , Ain
anceof the fourth congressional district
in refusing, hy almost a unanimous
vote, to endorse the People’s
movement, is regarded as significant, as
this is the district represented in
ness by Hon. Clark Lewis, who last
year made the race inside the Demo
cratic party, but on the' Oc da platform
against Senator Walthall. It is also the
home of J. H. Jameson, state president
of the Alliance, and now a
for congress against Lewis, both of them
in the raoe before the Democratic pri
maries
Hon. Frank Burkett, leader of the
Alliance in trie legislature and state lec¬
turer of the Alliance, is also a resident
of this district. He also opposes the
third party movement. The action of
this convention, in connection with th.
faetthat it is the strongest Alliance
district ill the state, indicates that th<
Democratic Alliancemen in this state
will not follow President Polk and the
National Alliance leaders into the Peo¬
ple’s party.
