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 all portion, 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 nir plans the oth- »n The nets, and -J. We must co-operate in and labors with our brethren i er states and sections of the ui 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.
