Just think of ten thousand Georgia colonels all in one body! The State Alliance convention sat down unanimously upon the “stay law” abortion. This “unanimous” vote in cluded several delegates who in their local Alliances had voted in favor of a stay law resolution. Having voted on both sides, the interesting question now is: “Upon which side do they really stand?” Investigations regarding the pro pensities of nickel, steel and manganese bronze,made by Thomas Harrington, of Pittsburg, Pa., has resulted in the dis covery of a now metal. The metal at tains a very high strength, is indestructi ble by corrosion, being impervious to acids, and it can be wrought Into spikes, nails, etc., while either hot or cold. Tiik bill to provide that the state take the Confederate home is going to create a stir. The farmers are generally op posed to it, and in a quiet way they are making a fight ou it. They say the sol diers would not occupy the home if the advocate the crude methods of applying the sub-tieasury doctrine favored by some Alliancemeu. Vet Alliancemen Gaunt, Ellington and Watson will jump on Brothers Living- stou, Harry Browu and Calhoun, and 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.
