Livingston, president of the Georgia State Alliance, was prescntatthe third party convention in Cincinnati and lias been .interviewed as to his impressions of the meeting and the third party move ment in general. Among other things he says: “No one who could witness what took place in Cincinnati but would be thor oughly convinced that those people arcin earnest, and while there were a few old political leaders present, doing the utmost to manage and control the convention, the masses that composed.the convention were from the field and shop—entirely si now element in political conventions. Their repeated efforts, through the re publican party, to secure free and uulim i ed coinage of silver have made them desperately determined to cut loose from idl alliliatiou with any party, and the action of a few democrats in the last house, iu voting against the measure, has gone a loug way towards diminishing the confidence of western democrats in their old party. I discovered one thing iu Cincinnati—that the masses of the northwest have little confi dence in the former leaders of the old parties. Many seem determined to have lor president a western man, and are more than willing that a southern man should be nominated for vice president. The opinion is strengthening day by day that the only hope for the masses of the people is to be found in an Alliance be tween the northwest and the south. I found them exceedingly anxious to know how our people south viewed the politi cal situation. They were eager to catch every bit of information in this line from any source whatever, which showed their intense interest in the political situation in the south. The masses that composed the convention in Cincinnati came, many of them, instructed by their people at home not to return without setting on foot a third party movement. lam clearly of the opinion that this senti ment >s growing rapidly in the eastern states and middle states among the labor ing classes. The sympathizers with this movement iu New York to day hold the balance of power in that state. In my opinion there is no possible hope for any political party to succeed in 1892 that does not clearly define itself in favor of these reforms. The south was represented in the convention to a very small extent indeed. The call for the Cincinnati convention was irregular and unauthorized, so far as the Alliance is concerned; and yet there were a few Al iiancemen present from the southern states.* Of course, their influence was very limited, and they did not attempt to leave the impression upon the convention that the Alliance people of the south would consider themselves committed to any action taken there. In the north western states the action taken by the convention will largely stimulate the in dependent movement. Indeed, in my opinion, it will crystallize it. This will be clearly seen, I think, in the fall elec tions in 1891. The old greenbackers, the Alliance people, and other labor organizations, were all united and combined by the action of the convention, and if this extends, as I believe it will, to a controlling ex tent in the Eastern and middle States, it will either drive the Eepublican party out of existence or force them to a coal ition with the Eastern Democrats, who, to a large extent, are against free silver and in favor of a protective tariff. It will clearly set up one fact for the South —that the Northwestern voters of both parties are willing to form a political Al liance with the South, offensive and defensive. What influence this will have Upon the Southern j eople the future alone can show r , and it is certainly con tingent to a great extent upon the action of the national Democratic party. The Southern Alliance people me as clearly committed and as unequivocally in favor of tariff reform, free and unlimited coin age of silver, supplemented with a cur rency good and stable, sufficient to do the business of the country upon a cash basis, as are the people of the Northwest. I learned from the delegates from the Eastern, middle and Northwestern States that •almost without an exception they placed the financial question as the one of prime importance, making tariff reform second ary. This opinion prevails to a much larger extent among the southern masses Ilian the public are aware of, and no ef fort to conduct a presidential campaign upon the single plank of tariff reform can be successful. The success of the third party move ment now rests simply and solely upon the disaffection towards the two old par ties. Whether or not it will finally suc ceed must depend upon the immediate nction of the democratic leaders, and the democratic press, and the democratic house of representatives. A fight against free silver, tariff reforfh, and au increase of the currency, by either or ~both old parties, will precipitate a successful third party movement, The reason that the south had so small a representation in the convention was, in the first place . the call was unauthor ized, s&Tarasit concerns the Alliance. In the " second place, at the Ocala con vensionfc!afct December, when our north western alliancemen were so clamorous ’ for a organization, an agree ment was entered into that the Alliance, and all orders having the same ends iu view, should assemble upon a proper basis of representation then agreed upon, on February '42cJ, 1892. and perfect and Stdtr of laiie jte- simplify their demands, and also at that time agreed to consider the necessity for a third party movement; or to provide in some other way the means of relief. The Alliance people of the Siuth felt com mitted to that proposition and conse quently did not attend that convention. The third reason was the public dclara tion that the intention of the Cincinnati convention was to bring into existence a third party, without awaitiug the action of the convention on. February, 1892. ♦'A . AS OTHERS SEE US. The Boston. Mas., Advertiser, which has heretofore been in opposition to the Alliance, has the following: “No one will deny that the gentlemen who have seen fit to inaugurate the Farmers’ Alliance movement in New England arc men of considerable mental power and men who are thoroughly in earnest. They are at least entitled to a respectful hearing, and can speak for themselves. They represent an impor tant factor in American politics of to day, and their influence in the next Congress will be evident in the legisla tion which that Congress enacts. Their visit to New England therefore is cer tainly an event worthy of notice, whatever may be its results. How ever much the east may condemn the ob jectionable propeganna of the Farmers Alliance it will not do to depend upon ignoring or ridiculing those doctrines. They must be met fairly as living is sues, and must be defeated as argument and common effort. It is indisputable that the coming congress is much more frieudly toward the Alliance programme than was its predecessor, and it is still an open question whether the fifty-second congress will not adopt that programme. It is very evident, therefore, that the gentlemen who spoke at Concord, N. H., as representative of the Farmers Alli ance movement represent no contemptible nor insignificant party. They are neither fools nor madmen, but are shrewd, cap able and prominent in their party. * * * WILL WORK BOTH WAYS. George F. Gaither, the manager of the Alabama Alliance Exchange, was elected a member of the national executive com mittee of the new people’s party at Cin cinnati. In an interview Mr. Gaither says: “The people’s party appointed three delegates from each State to meet with the National Farmers’ Alliance con vention in Washington the 22J of next February and lay the plan of the new party before them. If the Alliance puts a national ticket ir the field the people’s party will put out no ticket, but will vote for the Alliance candidate, but if the Alliance puts no ticket out the peo ple’s party will do so, and expect to get the support of the Alliance.” **• The Farmers Advocate (Charleston, W. Va.,) says: “Now is a good time for you to begin to formulate a standard to which you desire your representatives to approach. Resolutions are not infre quently adopted among the Alliances to the effect: “We will support no man for representative legislative office who is not in harmony with our wishes and de mands as expressed in our Alliance plat form.” The mere assertion and reitera tion of this declaration will accomplish no good whatever unless it is backed by our organized effort to execute it, and whenever would-be representatives be come convinced that your assertion is no longer an idle threat, but a fixed deter mination; they will either brave you to your teeth, or concede youT demands and advocate your claims. * * # The Southern Mercury of Huntsville, Ala., says: “The guns of the Alliance are turned upon the enemies of reform, and we do not propose to limber till we shall have swept the field of every enemy to our cause. There are somo in our ranks who are traitors to the cause, who are pretendingly reformers, but by secret and underhanded means are striving to disrupt the ordt*. ‘Murder will out,’ and, like the ass in the fable, their true character will appear after a few move ments.” * * * The Brookhaven (Miss.) Leader has the following: “There is vastly more smoke than fire about this talk of division among Alli ance men on the sub-treasury plan. The Madison County Alliance, the home of the Assistant State Lecturer McAllister, who has attempted to stir up so much discord, has endorsed the entire Ocala platform without reservation, sub-treas ury plan and all, by a vote of 46 to 6.” GENTILES^IN~CONTROL Of the Leading Mormon News paper in Salt Lake City. A dispatch of Monday from Salt Lake City, Utah says: A controlling interest in the Salt Lake Herald has passed into Gentile hands. The Herald has been a leading exponent of the Mormon church, and this practically breaks the back of the church of thi. latter day saints as a factor ii Utah politics. The Herald will be meue a strong democratic paper, ad vocating the admission of Utah into the union. The old parties are broken up iu this political revolution, and hence forth all issues will be on the national party lines. Booker Jailed. A Richmond, Va., dispatch says : Louis Booker, against whom the hustings court §rand jury found five indictments a few ays ago for embezzling fund# held for the Hanewinckle heirs, of which estate he was fiduciary agent, was committed to jail Saturday afternoon, beiag unable to | renew his bail bond of $20,000. This i was a great surprise, and gives the case ! a darker aspect than it bad asumed be fore. ' ' TRENTON, GA„ FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1891. THE WIDE WORLD.

Dun & Co.’s Report for the Past Week. R. G. Dun & Cos. report a deposing effect of the continued shipment of gold to Europe. The amount shipped this week is stated at $7,600,000, and Russia is still drawing from London. The east ern and western markets are reported to be fairly supplied with money, but at a few southern points money is close, and caution in extending credits prevails. Trade seems healthy at most places, but the strikes and the disclosures regarding some bank officials at Philadelphia cause itiuch local trouble. The iron business is still weak, with less demand for railroad iron, but a better demaud and small advance in bar and plates. Trade at western cities is quiet but very hopeful. At the south, crop reports are highly satisfactory, and trade, although only fuir, or even sluggish now, and at Memphis generally depressed, is expected to be excellent hereafter. No material injury has been sustained from the drought in the region tributary to New Orleans by cotton, sugar or rice, but the heavy rains have done great good. In general it may be said that the crop outlook has rarely been 'brighter than it is now, and this gives the strong est reason for the hope that any present depression in trade will be temporary. Failures for the week number 214; for the corresponding week of last year the figures were 190. CONVICTS KILLED. Fearful Explosion in the Pratt Mines. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch sajs: At the Pratt mines, Friday, an explosion of gas in a shaft where the convicts are worked, killed ten neero convicts and one free miner named Tom Moore. It is believed that the men had in gome way knocked off a plank from the door which stood across an ojd chamber, and on which the word “gas” was written. The gas rushed out and caught Are from a lamp. The officers of the company we‘ni to the rescue and worked to save the rocO, but were themselves suffocated and narrowly escaped, being dragged out unconscious. The bodies of the dead have all been recovered. The mines are not considered in danger from gas as a rule, and this is the first accident of the sort in a long time. Two life eon victs worked faithfully with the rescuing party. BACK TAXES To Be Refunded to the W. & A. Railroad Lessees. At Atlanta, Saturday, the Western and Atlantic Railroad Commission awarded the quondam lessees of the road back taxes to the amount of $99,644.04.

No award was made for the betterments claims. THROUGH DIXIE. NEWS OF THE SOUTH BRIEFLY PARAGRAPHED 1 Forming an Epitome of Daily Happenings Here and There. A Raleigh telegram, of Saturday, says: The standing committee of the diocese of North Carolina has consented to the con secration of Phillips Brooks, of Boston, as bishop. The Episcopal council, in session at Petersburg, Saturday, reconsidered its former action dividing the present dio cese, into two dioceses, and referred the whole matter to a committee to report next year. The building of the Southern Manu facturing Company, of Richmond. Va,, was destroyed by fire Friday. The com pany were manufacturers of ground cof fee, hominy, spices, etc. Loss $35,000; fully insured. The Nashville and Chattanooga Rail road Company has notified the secretary of the treasury that it is prepared to re deem June Ist $500,000 of its bonds held by the government, together with interest amounting to SIO,OOO. A singular result of the recent fire iu the Mohawk block in Jacksonville, Fla., is the embarrassment under which it places the United States court for the northern district of Florida. The fire made a clean sweep of all papers and records of this court. A Tallahassee dispatch of Friday, says: The bill to repeal the railroad commission has passed the house by a vote of 35 to 17, and it is thought it will also pass the 3enate. There is widespread dissatisfac tion with the past administration ands a rebuke the institution meets with a sud den death. This is a surprise to the rail road people. A telegram of Saturday from Shreve port, La., says: William and John An derson, colored, who held a girl, Jane Ware, on the railroad track in Bossier parish until the train ran over and killed her, were pursued by a posse of negroes, captured and hanged. They offered no explanation for their deed. The Ander sens were bad characters. The Cumberland Presbyterian general assembly began the business of its sixty second session at Louisville, Ky., lyiday morning with the newly elected modera tor. An overture was presented asking that the doctrine of the church regarding sanctification be interpreted. A memo rial asking for a brief, clear creed upon which all Presbyterians may agree was presented. A New Orleans dispatch says: The attorney for O’Malley, in the jury bribery case, on Monday, gave notice that he would apply for a change of venue on the ground that defendant cannot have a fair and impartial trial in the parish of New Orleans, where the indictment is pending. The attorney for McCristol, another of the jury bribers, gave notice that when the case came up for trial he would make similar motion. A BIG FAILURE. Steve Ryan’s Dry Goods House Closed. The mammoth dry. goods house ol Ryan’s Sons, at Atlanta, Ga., was closed by the sheriff, Tuesday, under the fore closure of a mortgage of $111,704 in favor of H. B. Clttflin & Cos., of New York. Following close upon the Claflin mortgage were eight others which were filed in the clerk’s office in the superior court, in Atlanta. They make the entire amount $388,123. This is one of the largest failures ever known in the south, and has caused the greatest excitement in business and com mercial circles. STORY OF THE FIRM. A few years ago Mr. John Ryan went out of the dry goods business. From a small beginning he had built up a large dry goods establishment at 61 Whitehall street. He had become wealthy, a large real estate owner, and a man held in high esteem by the entire community. Mr. Ryan sold his business to his two oldest sons, Stephen A. and John F. Ryan, and the business was continued under the style of John Ryan’s Sons. Some time ago Mr. John F. Ryan sold his interest in the business to his brother Stephen. Up to that time the business of the firm had been vastly increased and enlarged. Already it had mnde quite a stir in dry goods circles by selling goods at astonishingly low prices. When Mr. Ryan became the sole proprie-’ ter, however, the volume of the busi ness done by the house was enormous. Goods were sold at such very low figures that it was said that the business of the city in that class of merchandise was being greatly injured thereby. But the bargain sales continued. Goods were still being sold below cost. The blow finally came and the big house was closed. THE CAUSES. Mr. Ryan attributes his failure to the long rainy teason in the early spring, when trade was very dull. The reports circulated uv N. J. Schloss & Cos., of New York, which were circulated to injure Mr. Ryan’s credit, are also at tributed as a cause of the failure. Since then Mr. Ryan’s creditors have been restlvss and were pushing their claim. Mr. Ryan’s liabilities will go over $750,- 000 and may reach $1,000,000. His as sets cannot be estimated at present. They consist of his stock of goods and his books and accounts, Mr. Ryan tlnuks his assets may reach $500,000. But this is merely a rough estimate. All merchant! who want to build up their business should advertise in this <oaner. as it will D&Y them to do so. CROP REPORT. Weekly Bulletin of the Agri cultural Department. The weekly crop report, issued from the department of agriculture at Wash ington, says: About a normal temperature prevailed during the week over all the agricultural districts east of the Rocky mountains, and also on the Pacific coast, although it was slightly cooler in the eastern po-tions of the cotton region and in the lower Missouri valley. It was a cool week in the central Rocky mountain and southern plateau sections, the de parture from the normal temperatue rang ing from 60 to 80 per day. There was a slight excess of temperature in the Mis sissippi valley and Minnesota and the Dakotas. The timely rains which occur red during the week over the central valleys have prevented a threatened drought over the principal wheat and corn states, and will doubtless prove of great value to the growing crops. Ex cessive rains have occurred from New England westward over the states of the Ohio valley and the southern portion of the lake region and thence westward to the Rocky mountain districts. Excessive rains also occurred in the central portion of Minnesota and the Dakotas, ana por tions of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, while generous showers occurred through out Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. The precipitation was very light in the South Atlantio States, i.nd no rain occurred on- the greater portion of the West gulf coast and also in Northern and Central Califor nia and in Oregon. In the States of the Ohio valley, and in the lake region the prospects were greatly improved bv the recent rains, although in many sections the rainfall has not been sufficient to completely relieve the crops from the previous drought conditions. The frosts on the 17th caused some injury to crops and fruit in Michigan, and in the North ern portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The crop prospects were also improved in Tennessee andKentucky, but the light rains have given only temporary relief in Tennessee, rust and the small insect damaging the wheat. Texas and West ern Arkansas report the weather favor able, cotton plants small but in good con dition, deep rooted and well cultivated, corn in tassle, and general prospects promising. SENATOR CALL Is Declared Re-elected by Flori da’s Legislature. A Tallahassee dispatch says: The deadlock in the senatorial contest is broken. The action of the caucus on Monday night to adjourn the caucus sine die by a vote of 49 to 47, was.the prelude to the action by the Call men in going into joint session and- electing Call senator by a majority of one at noon Tuesday. After adjournment the Mays and opposition forces caucused, and de termined not to be present at. the joint session, and left the city for the day. At 12 o’clock m. the joint session met in representative hall with President Browne in the chair. The roll of the senate being called the secretary announced that fifteen sen ators only had answered and that there was not a quorum present. President Browne responded that he should rule that a quorum of the senate was present, thirty-two beiDg the whole number of the senate and fifteen, the actual number present. The roll of the house being called, the clerk reportid thirty-eight present. The secretary of the senate then announced the joint session was fifty-four two members paired and not voting. The president then declared that a ma jority of both hou,es wus present. Mr. Stapler rose to explain his vote, and said that he had paired with Mr. Vaughn, of Escambia, now absent,, and as the sur roundings had changed from what they were when the pair was effected, he did not feel bound, and therefore, holding the pair at an end should exercise the right to vote. This was the vote that gave Call a majority of one. THE VOTE TAKEN. The chair then announced that the election of a United States senator was now in order. It was decided to make no nominations. The roll was called, with the following result: Wilkinson Call, 51; Mays, 1. The president then declared that Wilkinson Call had re ceived a majority of the votes cast, and was the duly elected United States sena tor. A MONUMENT TO RAIDERS. Andrew’s Men Honored With a Bronze. A bronze monument to the Andrews raiders was erected in the national ceme tery at Chattanooga Saturday. It is in six sections, surmounted by a bronze lo comotive. A fac simile in miniature of “General,” the engine which the daring party of soldiers stole at Big Shanty, Ga., being captured while attempting to de stroy bridges between Chattanooga and Atlanta in 1863. Several of them were hanged, eight of them being buried in the cemetery. Suitable inscriptions ara on the tribute, which will be unveiled Decoration Day. Movement of Specie. Exports of specie from the port of New York during the week amounted to $7,103,651, of which $7,060,230 was gold, and $43,421 silver; $7,050,600 in gold and $34,000 in silver went to Eu rope, and $9,630 in gold and $9,42i in silver to South American ports, The Au rania, which sailed Saturday, took $2,- 800,000 in gold, consigned to Liverpool, and La Bourgogne took $500,000 in gold and $34,000 in silver, consigned to Paris.
