Congressmen Livingston and Moses
liavo returned to Georgia from the in
dustrial conference at St. Louis, and
are announced to speak at Covington
to-day. They are both squarely
against the Third Party movement.
In an interview with the Atlanta
Constitution Col. Livingston is quoted
ns follows:
“There was no contest over the seats
of the regular white delegates, Moses,
Wilson, Palmer and myself,” said
Colonel Livingston, “but wo were not
reported on at the first and that shut
us out for a time. Here Is the way
Georgia was represented: Ellington,
Branch and Parker ns representatives
of the National Citizens’ Industrial
Allianoc, a body that I never heard of
in Georgia. Mind you, they were not
initiated and appointed until they got
to St. Louis.
“Then Gilmore was seated with
eleven votes for tho colored Alliance
of Georgia.
“Moses, Wilson and Palmer flnnlly
got in ns the regular white delegates
from tile Georgia State Alliance, but
that was upon a,compromise that Kemp
and Post should bo admitted ns dele
gates, but agreeing to the unit rule. I
was a ilclegato from the National Al
liance.
“Ellington was put on the oreflen-
tials committee, and he kept the regu
lar delegates from the Georgia Alli
ance from having a voice in the organ
ization.
“Congressmen Livingston and
Moses did, after al|, keep the
convention from declaring for separate
organization. There was a big liglit
in the platform committee, but the
third pnrty men gnvo up there, and
agreed to let the convention linish its
work.
“We left and took no part, in the
mass meeting which endorsed a new
party movement,” said Colonel Moses,
speaking for himself, Colonel Living
ston and Major Wilson. “They tried
to rule me out because I was a Demo,
orat," Colonel Moso contllined.
Here is a good one he got off.
“The crank, Donnelly, declared that
the color lino would bo wiped out, and
it was,ns far as Georgia was concerned,
for her colored votes were given to a
white man."
“The platform- which was adopted
by the regular convention is good
Democratic doctrine except the trans
portation plank and the back pay for
tile soldiers,” said Colonel Livingston
Colonel Livingston states emphati
cally that no Allinncemnn is bound to
the third party in any way by the ac
tion of the convention. He thinks
that tile National Democratic conven
tion will make a platform at Chicago
which will embody the demands of the
Alliance.

Following the industrial conference
at St. Lbuis, which ineton Monday and
adjourned on Wednesday, a third
party was organized by the delegates,
or as many of them as would partici
pate, Following are the specltlc dec
larations in the platform adopted :
We first .declare the union of the
labor forces of tile United States tills
day accomplished,- permanent and per
petual. May its spirit enter into all
hearts for the salvation of the repub
lic and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who cre

Washington special to Colnmbns Enquirer-'
Sun.
Very booh after the House met to
day Col. Tom Watson moved over to a
seat near Farmer Everett and held a
long and animated talk with that
member. Every now and then Colonel
Watson would stab Mb right palm
with his left index finger to empha
size his argument, and Farmer Ever
ett would nod his head approvingly.
Later, Colonel W|itson answered your
correspondent and appeared in the
lobby fairly wreathed' fn smiles. The
Colonel had read the morning papers
and was greatly .gratified to learn that
the editor of the Peoples’ paper and
delegate Branch had downed farmer
Livingston at St. Louis, and had ob
tained seats In tho convention. The
seating of these gentlemen Colonel
WatBon regarded as a decisive victory
for the Third party people, and he ex
pressed his pleasure that it had been
done without the intervention of out
siders. The Colonel thinks the Third
party leaven is working, and that
sooner or later Colonel Livingston
and nil the balance of the Alliance
boys will be sleeping 111 the same bed.
“It’s bound to eoine to that,” remarked
Colonel Wntson, earnestly, “or some
thing else. The time has arrived now.
when these gentlemen must play
their cards openly and every tub must
stand within its own hoops.” When
asked point blank if he thought the
8t. Louis convention would mate
rialize into a Third party movement,
he expressed ills confidence that it
would, some way or some how, but as
to candidates for the Presidency he
knew nothing. It is understood that
delegates Post, Ellington, Branch and
other Third party representatives at
the St! Louis convention will return
home by way of Washington tor the
purpose of holding a conference with
Mr. Watson, who is how the recog
nized leader of tile Ocala platform Al-
llancemen in the State of Georgia.
That these gentlemen propose to dump
Col. Livingston unless he changes his
political course can hardly be doubted.
Livingston is presumed to be in col
lusion with the Hill Democracy, and
unless this suspicion is dispelled he
may just as well throw up his hands
aha announce his retirement from
politics so far as Alliance aid is con
cerned.

gerously close around the New York
Governor.
T11M ALBANY CONVENTION.
Tile outcome of the Albany conven
tion, it seems, is that Hill and Cleve
land, as leaders, will so dlvldo tiie
New York Democracy as to put tho
State in tile Republican column should
ultlier of these men be nominated at
Ohloago.
BUT THEY WANT NEW YOBK.
“But,” as a prominent Democrat
puts it, “the Democratic party must
not go outside of New York for her
oantUdate if it wants to make assur
ance doubly. Buro and secure the con
trol of the government at tho next
election,"
FLOWEB IS THE MAN.
He continued: “Flower is the man
who can unite the Demboraoy of New
York and he can easily carry tho State,
to vitory. When tills is plainly
shown to the convention at Chicago it
will be a strong argument in favor of
placing him at the head of tile ticket
FLOWEB AND QUAY.
“Flower is a little too much hand-in-
glove with the Hill people, possibly
to suit the Cleveland people, but this
will be easily overcome if Gray, a
Cleveland man, is put on the ticket
with the New Yorker. It seems, at
first glance, that the ticket would
surelyjwin. .
GOING IN TO WIN.
“The’pemocrnts are going in to win
tills yeqr. They are going to put up
the oCHiyiigestB ticket possible. To ^do
this Hill and Cleveland will be allow
ed to fight on till' convention time.
Then the party will unite all factious
on some man other than these two,
and Flower lias the best chance of be
ing the nominee.”
WHAT HENHY WATTEBSON SAYS.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Henry Wnt-
terson, who returned last night, was
interviewed regarding the political
situation. He Bald:
“The way tilings have been
shaped in New York it would be sui
cidal for the Demoorroy to nominate
either Cleveland or Hill for the Presi
dency. Hill cannot carry a single
Northern State, unless it be New
York, and Mr. Cleveland cannot carry
New York at all. Kentucky will in
struct her delegates to vote for John
G. Carlisle.”
StrhUKO Pcnnnce of n Gambler
Priestly Gnrb.
Los Angeles, Feb. 21.—One of the
greatest mysteries of this oity has
been that of tho tongueless man,
which lias .j,ust been solved. Last
November a priestly-looking man
hired a room at the lodging houso at
tho ooi'iicr of Fifth and Broadway.
Ho was quiet, wtll-bohaved and a
great ohuroh member. One morning
lie was found in his room, blood issu
ing from ills mouth and a bloody
razor in his hand.
On examination it was found that
ho lmd out out his tongue with
the razor. Bloody tracks to tho door,
out in the hall and the bath room in
dicated that lie lmd been there,
Searoli allowed that he had thrown Ills
tongue down a drain pipe. Nothing
oould bo learned from him about Ills
identity. Ho lmd plenty of money
and paid his bills. After his wound
healed lie disappeared. He was
thought to Imvo been a Catholic
priest.
It now turns out that Ills name is
George Wilson. He goes garbed ns n
priest, but he is a professional gam
bler. His family Is wenlthy and live
In New York. His father has just
died and left nn estate of $150,000,
$50,000 of which was left to him. The
estate cannot be settled up until
George has been found, and deteotlvcs
from New York arc now In this oity
looking for him. They Btate tlmt
George has been the blaok sheep of the
family, and that ills oonduct has
oaused them untold trouble, Tills
statement suggested that the man’s
strange net of cutting out Ills tongue
was prompted by remorse nnd humil
iation for his past deeds. .
When Inst seen in this oity ho wns
still wearing his priestly garb, and
wns belioved to be staying nt St. Vin
cent's soliool.
A Little Fun Willi tin* Pni’HOii.
Andrew Wallace is one of the oldest
and best known ^residents of this city,
says the Indianapolis Journal. Many
years ago he was President of the
State benevolent boards. It was while
he was occupying t hat place that he
met the late Dr. Mclntire, superinten
dent of the instution for the education
of the deaf and dumb. The doctor was
a strict member of the Presbyterian
church, and orthodox all the way
through. Mr. Wallace was a Pniver-
salist. ‘‘Doctor,” said the latter, “you
are an educated mail and I am not. I
want to ask you a question or two. Do
you really think this world we inhabit
is round and revolves on its axis once
in every twenty-four hours?”
“Certainly,” replied the doctor.
“And you believe there is a heaven
and—and another place?”
“Assuredly.”
“And that heaven js above us?”
“Yes”
“And the other place below us?”
“Yes.”
“And the world turns over once
every twenty-four hours?”
“Yes.”
“Well, doctor, if that's the case,
doesn’t it occur to you that the spire^
of your meetinghouse points to hades
about half the time?”

Chicago, Feb. 21.—A dear case of
suicide was the finding of the coroner's
jury upon Annie Munson, tho laun
dress, who died from arsenloal poison
ing. Tho testimony of witnesses
brought out the foot that the young
woman was despondent the Sunday
morning proceeding her death, owing
to tho desertion of her lover, Budolpli
Berllng, after he had promised to mar.
ry her. At ttie post mortem examina
tion held by Dr. Hoktoon, a most pe
culiar and raro anatomical condition
was found in addition tb traces of
arsenio.
in speaking of the oase after the
Inquest had been held iii O’Tdomes &
Cummings’ undertaking establish
ment nt No. 4125 State street, Dr.
Hcktoen said that in holding nearly
2,000 post mortem examinations ho
had never found ns complete a case of
transposition as lie hnd in tiie Munson
examination. “Every part wns clear
ly transposed,” continued tile surgeon,
“nnd lias been so from birth. The
heart wns upon the right side and the
other members of tho viscera were
completely transposed. It is a rare
and most unusual oase nnd one that is
well, worth receiving careful attention
from surgeons. The woman suffered
no Inconvenience therefrom, however,
and from talks I have had.wltli her
acquaintances anil friends I lmve learn,
ed tlmt she lmd paid but little atten
tion to the transposition of her vital
orgniis.” ‘
The New York Protect.
From the Indiana poll* News.
? The* protest of the Democrats of
New York against the snap conven
tion took the shape of a meeting at
Albany simultaneously with the Tam
many eohcdiirse. A majority of the
counties of the State (thirty-six of the
total of sixty) were represented^ del
egates and an address was issued
showing inoontrovertibly the outrage
which tills February convention was
in its departure from party usage; de
tailing bow the State committee is a
machine product of a former conven
tion that was packed in the inter
ests of the Taniany heelers who are
trying to make their voice appear as
the voice of the Democrats of New
York. The address recojuended the
Democratic masses to choose delegates
to. a State convention to be held at
Syracuse, May <11. Thus the way is
opened. Thus the Democrats have a
chance to speak. Thus, let it.be hoped,
is set in motion a protest which shall
so ring in the ears of the Democratic
National Convention that it-will not
dare heed the dictation of Tammany,
but will hold-thc party true to the in
terests and Issues of reform, and. with
a candidate-that good citizens can sup
port will lay down a campaign that
has reason in it; that offers reason for
the Democratic party asking control
of the country.
