The State Alliance convention sat
down unanimously upon the “stay law”

cluded several delegates who in their
local Alliances had voted in favor of a

both sides, the interesting question now
is: “Upon which side do they really
stand?”

some Alliancemeu.
Vet Alliancemen Gaunt, Ellington and
Watson will jump on Brothers Living-

the sub-treasury platform will have to
stand aside while these giants fight it
out on the railroad question.
As Col. Livingston is pluperfectly
solid with the Alliance, and Senator El
lington didn’t get the vice-presidency
which he asked for; and Editor Gannt
was given to understand that the state
Alliance proposed to run the Southern
Alliance Farmer their way, that he
might retire, it looks like the Watson
anti-railroad faction had been set down
on pretty vigorously; and that under the
lead of Col. Livingston a conservative
and sensible policy was to be pursued
with regard to the railroads.
Anyhow, this is liow* the situation ap
pears to an outsider. We shall see what
we shall see.

Here’s the way the Early County
