talk with delegates.
A dispatch of Thursday, from Topeka,
says: The Kansas delegation to the
National Farmers’ Alliance convention,
at Ocala. Fla., has returned. They ail
speak in the warmest terms of the hospi-
tality of the Southern people, and are
encouraged to renew their organization
and work in'Kansas. “Ihe call issued
by John H. Rice for a national confer-
cnce to organize a third party was unau-
thorized by the meeting at Ocala, and
the Alliance North and South will pay
no attention to it.” These were the words
of Dr. L. McLallin, editor of The Alli¬
ance Advocate, official organ of the Kan¬
sas Alliance, on his return from the con
veution. He spoke w ith earnestness and
as one having authority to speak for the
great organization be represented. “We
are not ready io cons det a thud party
movement yet,” c Dtinued Dr. McLallin.
It is too early, and mch a movement is
premature. Fust, we want relief fr m
the burdens that depress agriculture
and make slaves out of the men wi o
produce that which the people agriculture con-
Mime. We want to elevate
and secure legislation which will
throw protection around this most im-
portuat of all icdu tries in this country. ”
Dr. McLdlen said he found the colored
meu of the eouth aroused on the que-tlous
agitated by tho Alliance, and that tlioin- |
ands of them would hereafter vote with
the whites on the great issues advocated
by the National Alliance. “Sectionalism
is dead,” he continued. “The negroes
bave organ’zcd and the’* will no longer
be the willing tools of the bloody shirt
republicans and carpet baggers of ti c j
south. ” Never was the A1 innee
so firmly united in Kansas as at
the present time. The leaders
who attended the Ocala convention are
lookiug after the senatorial contist, which
will t ceur on the 27th day of January,

thikd rAitrv talk.
Mr. McGrath, president of the Kansas
Allian e. in an interview Thursday said,
the legislative committee of the Nation J
Alliance will meet in Washington some
time in February. “Thirty-five states,”
be said, “will third be represented at the meet- will
ing, and the i arty movement
be one of the principal things to be acted
upon. This movement said 31 r. McGrath,
“will eventually embrace all labor organ-
izations in the United States, In fact,
all of them are committed to it now, e.\-

A later repokt.
A Topeka dispatch says: The follow-
ing interview with President McGra h,
published Monday, would indie te that
the Alliance has, tor ihe present, decided
to drop the third party movement. He
says: “ The agitation in the South over
the Lodge bill precludes the possibi ity
of anv iudepent movement at this time.
