THE GREAT ALLIANCE GATHERING IN
INDIANAPOLIS.
Allium, People'. Party, Inilu.trlsMolun
Kefonn Preea, W eights or Labor, Nation,
al State Acuta' .iaaoolatlon and Kindred
Organisations.
Indianapolis, Nov. 18.—Minty are tne
expressions tunl view* of the delegates
to the great Alliance gathering in this
city. There are more thau half n dozen
different organizations represented hare
by delegates from nearly every state,
There are frequent sessions of -the
Farmers’ .Mutual Benefit association,
the People's party, the Confederated In.
dnstrial Union, the Reform Press asso
ciation, tiie Northwestern Alliance, the
Citizen’s Alliance, the Knights of Labor,
the American Federation of Labor, the
National Slate Agents' association, the
National Citizen’s Industrial Alliance
and kindred thiugs, all working as if
impressed with the idea tlint other in
terests were of secondary importance.
Some of the minor associations might
appear Indlcmns hot for the earnestuess
with which they are prosecuting their
several missions. Huwevet vatied the
interests, all of them center ,on the
pr- -osition looking to conversion of the
Al nee proper into n political body,
and tile consensus of opiuion secured
from three-score and more delegates
points to the conclusion that the Alli
ance will perpetuate itself not as an in
dependent political body, bnt as a thbr
ongbly non-partisan organization.
Further, that it will remain ns dis
tinct from the third party as it is now
from the Republican and Depmcratic
parties. Whatever maybe the divisions
and subdivisions of the Alliance, jg is
strange what a hold the sub-treasury
scheme has upon the great hulk of the
delegates. It is noticeable, however,
that the yonnger meu, apd apparently
those who have had the least experience
in financial fields, are the readiest to
enter upon disenseinn of its merits.
Among them H. W. Ayer, secretary
to President Polk, and manager of the
Reform Press association, persistently
ndvoeatee that inasmuch as the govern
ment loans money to the banker npon
evidence of a debt, i. e., bonds, the Al
liance is justified in calling for the dif
fusion of currency directly to the peo-
de upon their evidence of wealth. It
■ a fact patent that the Alliance lead
ers have no goal feeling for either
Cleveland or Harrison.
President Polk said that while it was
trne that the Alliance -was opposed to
Cleveland, the little man in the white
house was id the same boat, and the
Alliance will vote ns readily agitinn
them both, or against Blaine, as it wiS
against any man not sopporting Alli
ance principles. In biz opinion it wonld
be the veriest, inconsistency to vote for
Cleveland or Harrison, for they are sin
gle standard money men. Mr. Polk
also paid his respects to the proposition
looking to n combination of Stanford
and himself for the head of the thfril
We offer for the .coming week

departments it wns worse than present
conditions.”, : _
Congressman L. F. Livingstone of
Georgia, supplemented this by saying:
"Georgia lias 115,000 Alliance voters
and it captnred threo fonrths 'of tho
legislature and six out of ten congress
man. This was accomplished through
Democratic primaries, which nominated
Alliance Democrats. It wonld he folly
for either Cleveland or Harrison to ex
pect Alliance support, because of their
position on the money question. If the
tariff was the only question Cleveland
wonld lie supported. *
A secret session of ths executive com
mittee of the Confederated Industrial
Organizations was held with Benjamin
Terrell, of Texas, chairraan.'The prime
object was to settle details ■■ Of the pro
posed convention of these organization:
in February and to change the meeting
point from Washington to some more
centrally located city. Cincinnati,,
Louisville nnd St. Louis were* named,
with the odds farming Cincinnati.
Mr. Terrell report* that the ineetini
in February looks to unification of al
labor interests, so that by nnited action
needed teuislation may be teenred.
The Confederated Organizations now
embrace the F. M. B. A„ tile Farmers’
Alliance, the Industrial Union, the
National Alliance,' the Co-Operativ*
Union, the Citisens’ Alliance and the
Knights of Labor, and it is proposed to
open ths doors to the Federation of La
bor, the Knights of Industry and the
Labor Christian Union. Mr. Terrell
belongs to the Fanners’Alliance, whlci)
be characterize* as the purest and best
of all the others, bnt he says it is not
tbs pnr|HMe of tb* February meeting at
the Confederated Organizations to take
any political action. Mr. Terrell,
speaking as a Democrat and citizen,
•ays that be wonld vary much regret
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, be
cause his good basis theory is objection
able. He has the same objection to
Harrifon. and hi adds:
■ I aih in favor of Boies of Iowa. Ha

the fight squarely on tbe free coinage

Congressman Watson is quoted as
follows in the Indianapolis Journal:
Georgia is ready for a third party
candidate, the bnlk of the Democratic
party will pass into tha new line and the
movement will swoop tbe state. There
is not the slightest probability bnt that
ths Democratic platform will contain
the Ocala damanda. No man on earth
oaa carry Georgia for Cleveland. Hill
would not receive a majority anywhere
azeept possibly in the printing office of

CHINESE REVOLT,
Gniibnsl, Nrrrmrr to Protest the Live*
e »r Foreigner*.
London, Nov. 18.—A telegram from
Shanghai aays: The capture of Tehwei,
near Foochow, on Tuesday by 15,000
rebel* was a well organized rising. The
rebels were armed with repeaters and
led by capable men. The outbreak was
directly mainly against the authorities,
though anti-foreign cries were heard.
European residents are apprehensive
of a spread of the revolt. The British
consul here in an interview said he be
lieved that the recent quietude was only
temporary, spring aud summer being
the favorite period for outrages in
Chino. Light draft gunboats are an
absolute necessity to protect the lives of
Europeans in the interior and at river
treaty ports, where massacre will inev
itably follow anti-foreign demonstra
tions unless special "preventive measures
are adopted—-—
In spite or tbe semi-official statement
that two of the Ychang rioters have
been beheaded and others bastinadoed,
it is notorious that the real culprits are
still free, being protected against arrest
by exalted officials. Agents of the
Pekin treasury have paid the indemnities
agread upon—£2,000 to the sufferers at
Wuolm aud £4,000 to the families of the
Europeans killed at Wnsieli. The
American missionary, Mr. Darte, ex
pressed the opinion tlint' the troubles
will be renewed next spring.

WasiiiniiTon, Nov. IS.-In the su
preme court of the District of Coulum-
hia, the demurrer iu tbe case of the
United States against Charles A. New
ton, charged with violating section 13
of tbe civil service act, wasimauimonsly
overrated and the case went to. the
criminal court for trial. Defendant
gave notice that he wonld apply for
writ of error,
Commissioner Thompson, of the civil
service commission, was soen by a re
porter and questioned as to bis views
npon the decision,- He said that tbe
supreme court of ths United States, in
the case of Newton M. Cnrtis, held that
tiie tew forbidding government em
ployes to solicit or receive money from
each other for political purposes was
constitutional, bnt the decision jnit
tendered goes much farther, and hold*
that all solicitations for political pur
poses within government buildings are
unlawful: 1 Theeffect, lie thought,
will be to practically , stopf political as
sessments.’ and to leave all government
employes free to contribute, as they see
fit. ■ This decision is a complete vindi
cation of the course of the commission,
which has endeavored to enforce the
tew and protect government employes
from forced assessments. It is entirety
satisfactory to ths commission.
