tity of interests which will knit us to
gether into an undivieled body.
2. We must turn a deaf ear to the
carpiugs and complaints of those who
are on the outside of the alliance, and to
the factious grow lings of the disgruntled
who are in our fold.
We must stand solidly on our
national platform. It needs no apology
from any of us. It speaks for itself and
for us. It is the broad basis of our
national union and mutual interests. It
suits men of our persuasion in every sec
tion. Let us not abandon it nor be
driven from it. With that creed we con-
hail,
al hundi
long befo:
m! alliancemr
ate had asse

illianeeinen
i Job
irtH of the stat
• formed but a si
■ever, of the throng of
who packed the hall.
Among the early arrivals J
li. Gordon was the most talked of. He
occupied a scat in the hall during the
morning session, and watched with deep
interest the movements of the day.
Just after President Livingston called
the convention to order, Rev. J. G. Gib
son of Oglethorpe gained the attention
of the chair.
“Mr. President,” ho said, “I rise to a
question of personal privilege.”
Everybody knew what was coming
lias been generally understood for *
eral months past that Mr. Gibson had
been centered upon to lead the light
against Livingston in the convention,
lie was one of the most conspicuous
members of the famous mansion house
caucus held there several months ago,
and since that timo has been assiduous
ly at work collecting thunderbolts to
burl at the president of the alliance and
against that wing of the alliance at
which the caucus at the mansion was
directed.
Hut, like all other conventions, tlua
alliance meeting has a special time for
everything, and it was therefore sur
prising to the members that Mr. Gibson
should so suddenly begin his attack.
After this announcement that he arose
to a question of personal privilege, the
president asked him the nature of the
question before proceeding.
Mr. (iibson did not give it, but claim
ed the right to he heard.
“The gentleman is out of order,” said
the president. “There is a time for ev
erything, and until this convention is or
ganized and ready for business, the
chair will not recognize him.”
This was received with hearty ap
plause.
Governor Xorthen, who occupied a
prominent seat in the convention, hasti
ly and excitedly arose.
“Mr. President,” said he, “I hold that
the gentleman is not out of order. I
know something about parliamentary
law, and ho is entitled to the tloor.”
To which President Livingston re
plied: “I am satisfied that you arc well
versed in parliamentary law, and you
know as well as I do that the gentleman
is not in order until the convention is
organized.”
Governor Xorthen protested.
Colonel Livingston insisted.
“Let ire suggest to you, sir,” said the
president, “that you are not entitled to
a seat ou this lioor. You are not a dele
gate to the convention, and you have no
right to interrupt the proceedings at
this time.”
The governor did not yield, and the
president said:
“Mr. Xorthen! You must either take
your seat or leave the convention!”
This capped the climax! Pande
monium rtigned, and cries of “Put him
out!” “Put him out!” followed. The
governor held the floor, and continued.
“But the gentleman from Oglethorpe
can appeal from your decision.”
“Ho can,” said the president.
“Then I appeal,” said Mr. Gibson.
The president put the question, and
one wild shout went up from the throats
of several hundred members in favor of
sustaining tlie decision of the chair. It

-J. We must co-operate in
and labors with our brethren i

pledge is a part of our Ocala
must he fairly and fully redeemed.
.■j. We must prepare for a hard and
bitter warfare against our order and its
principles. Xo new organization seek
ing reform of the political and economic
conditions of the United States has ever
been assailed as we have been. But
that which has been done against
as nothing to what we will have to com
bat in the future. We must set our
flags forward, compact our ranks and
break our enemies to pieces upon the
solid breast of linked and loyal alliance-
men.
0. In this great light for right, justice
and relief we must be willing to make
personal sacrifices of time, money and
opinions, that we may be united and
gather to ourselves all the helps our
work demands.
And now I have a few words personal
to myself. I have done the best I could
for you and the cause. I have suffered
much without complaining. I have been
true to my obligation and my responsi
bilities, and stand ready to answer for
all my words and deeds.
Our demands are just, liberal and in
harmony with the golden rule. Our
order and platform are becoming more
popular every day, and the greatest
calamity the toilers of America could
suffer to-day would be failure, from any
cause, of this grand and glorious reform
government.
We are charged with making it a suc
cess, and it would be an everlasting dis
grace to us if it should fail through our
own follies, mistake, or cowardice.
. I promise you, on the other hand, a
complete, brilliant and beneficent vic
tory if wo are but united, faithful and
truo to our opportunities. *
President Livingston then explained
hat the mission of General Weaver,
Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease had been
In Georgia. It was not for personal or
party ends, but they were here on a
campaign of education and for the in
struction of Georgians and the cultiva
tion of fraternity.
He then recommended that the stato
alliance purchase Tho Southern Alli
ance Farmer, and place it in tho hands
of proper officials selected for that pur
pose. He said that the paper could be
had for haP the present price under that
arrangement. He spoke at length upon
this subject, dwelling upon the impor
tance of a good organ.
