The report was at length by Chairman Livingston. The report wai adopted without dissent. This ai tion undoubtedly means the ab¬ solute consolidation of these two orgini zations in the near future. Colonel Liv¬ ingston' for also adoption offered a resolution the provid l;iu the • of 8t.

An amendment was by Mr. Loucks, of North Dakota, railroads providing for the ownership of all and tele¬ graph lines by the national [government. Col. Livingston < pposed tli'i, and offered as a compromise measure, u resolution providing that liberty to control aud op¬ erate all such lines shall vest in the gov¬ ernment, and if, after a fair trial of this system, it is found that it does not afford the relief demanded, or effect reforms in the management of them, government ownership adopted, after shall be complete. discussion. T his was Mr. some Wade, of Tennessee, offered an additional amendment that every Alliance lecturer, Btate and National, and all newspaper organs of the Alliance shall support the 8t. Louis and Ocala platforms suspension (amended the plat films), or suffer fr<m order; and further, that qo candidate for any national political office .''hall be sup¬ ported By Alliance member ', unless ho. , ttifhi’rifPS this tihllform, and Ay sub-A I-* uuns may oe su^vememu nt pleasure qj the president. This was also ad pted, and the whole platform as amended was adopted unau mousiy upon a call of the roll by states. Or. 0. W. Macune, chairman of the national executive committee, submitted his annual report of the work accom¬ plished by that body during the past year. It referred at length to the work ui mo committee iu unviu^ *«*> treasury bill drawn and presented to congress. The chairman said that the committee’s mission in this particular was virtually ended, because the Alliance had elected forty congressmen, who would look after pushing fhc hfii through thotkiational legislature. The report recommended the reduction of the sal¬ aries of all national Alliance officers removal from Washington city of national Alliance president’* office, inas¬ much as the retention of it there entails an expense not commensurate with its usefulness. Regarding the third party question says: “I recommended as a compromise that would carry out the end sought to be achieved by the west and north, if it met-the approbation of the south, that a convention be called to meet in February, 1802; that the convention be composed of producers, delegates from all the associations of and that the next annual ses¬ sion of the supreme council elect dele¬ gates to represent this order in that vention. I sustained this by saying it didn’t commit the people, but provided a themselves means whereby they could express on this great question through their subordinate during county and state organizations the coming year. Whcu the great eonvetion meets, grid delegates and instructions will come from there their with peop'e. authority If their people decide in favor of indepund ent the party action, it will prevail. If not, cause will still be benefitted* by the conference, and there wi 1 be n better t&e un¬ derstanding labor organizations of the objects seeking which are to .achieve. This is the bus's of all I er commended, but it has taken a wonderful both hold upon them, and wilt satisfy sides.” “If the convention of 1892 should be called as it doubtless will be, the ques at work on the subject ot amalgamation thedi under the same rubs. Despite white verse and section of the force bill, the Colored Alliancemcn appear to be on the boated terms. — ym* At the *.* INVESTIGATION afternoon session REP the OUT. , appointed to investigate Livingston and the against Polk, Maeunc, made the billowing report: been 1.

The Negro Alliance, on Friday, wired their protest against the Conger com¬ pound lard bill to Senator Paddock. At the forenoon meeting of the Na¬ tional Colored Alliance, Friday, . the following amended resolution was unsn imous “Resolved, I y adopto That 1 : delegates attend¬ wc, Farmers’ Alli¬ ing the National Colored ance, do hereby, in meeting assembled at Ocala, urge upon congress to pass the Lodge election bill, and let it apply to all sections of these United States.” The principal change from Thursday’s resolution is the elimination of the para¬ graph criticising nnd denouncing the white national Alliance for its action. Arguments were also made for the subtreasury plan by Messis. Livingston, of Waddell, Terrell, of Texas; Harvey, Georgia, Florida, and Harry Brown, and of Dowell, and against it by Wade Mi of Teunessee and McAllister, of Missis¬ sippi. When the question came to its passage, the result was a vote of 79 to 9 in favor of the bill. A reso’ution en¬ dorsing the Pickier subtreasury bill was subsequently adopted with only three dissenting votes. THE FORCE BILL. A vigorous attempt was made to re¬ verse the action ou the force bill.

An important item in the business of the Presidcnt afternoon session suggestion was adoption the of Po'k’s that national legislative board be suuersceded by a national legislative council, compos cd of the national president and the pres idents of the State Alliance.
