Dispute Over the Seating of a Delegation at St. Louis.

THE BIG INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.

A Uuorglu Content Causes A Lively Scone Col. Polk Mudo Chairman— Other Uanine** of the Scuiun. '.TV'-V'

MANY FACTION'S HEPRESBSTKD^' Sr. LOUIS, Keb. Jl. Temporary Chairman Cannon opened the second day's session of the Industrial convention at 10 a. in. The report of the credentials committee recommended seating' 'JIH delegates from the Farmers' Alliance, 53 1\ M. Jt, A., 82 Knights of Labor, 97 National Farmers' Alliance, 25 National Citizens' Alliance, 1)7 Colored 1\ M. U. A., 27 National Citizens' Independent Alliance, 75 l'at''ons of Industry, 25 Patrons of Husbandry total, 077. The 1'ariners' Alliance was given 25 delogates-at-large, and thirteen minor detached organizations aud individuals were given a representation of 38. The contest from Georgia was left with the committea to be further wrestled with. l'crmnnent Orffanlzutlon.

The permanent organization was headed by Col. L. L. Polk, who was selected for permanent chairman after a lengthy wrangle. As vice presidents Frances Willurd and Hen Terrell were unanimously chosen, and tlie energetic little woman from hvanston was literally carried upon the platform and given a right royal reception when she got there. She told them that she was a farmer's daughter, that her right hand had earned her keep since she was 15, and then laid down her old familiar platform of the protection of the home against the saloon, no north, no south no sex in politics. Her references to women suffrage and prohibition were rather coldly received.

A Colored Man Honored.

John W Ilayes was elected permanent secretary, and Warwick, of Virginia, a delegate from the Colored Men's Alliance, was elected assistant secretary, although when the question was put a good many of the Georgia and Alabama delegates voted "No."

Douounctfd liviii| fitoit.

The third-party fight in dead earnest was suddenly thrown into the convention by the report of the committee on credentials seating Post and lJrancli, the two third-party delegates from Georgia whom it was sought to shut out. Post, in the bitterest speech heard in the convention, denounced Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, as attempting to hand over the alliance in that state, bound hand and foot, to the democratic party. After the exchange of personalities and extraordinary eonfusion, participated in by Moses, of Georgia, Elliugton, lirauch and others, the report of the credentials committee was fully adopted by a iarge majority, a substantial triumph for the third-partyites. The row among the Georgians continued fiercely, however, and was only ended by the sergeant-at-arms. club in hand, forcibly jamming the warring southerners down in their seats.

Cou!:t Cool Ofl* In Alaska.

When quiet had been measurably restored the long list of the members of the platform committee was finally completed and road, making a total of nearly 150 members. The announcement of Post as the platform committeeman from Georgia nearly started a personal encounter between him and Moses, a fellow Georgian. The convention as a whole was now thoroughly disgusted with the Georgians and plainly showed it with hisses and cat-calls. Jerry Simpson turned the whole dispute to ridicule by suggesting that half the Georgia delegates be apportioned to Alaska to give them a chance to cool oft. Secretary liaycs brought out sighs of relief by announcing that the Georgians had at last settled their fight, .'ost. being made platform representative from Georgia and Woodson, an anti-third-party man, the Georgia member of the anti-option committee.

Suh-Trcasury Snowed Under. Willetts, of Kansas, national lecturer of the Farmers' Alliance, moved that the convention demand the passsage of the sub-treasury bill as a means of relief for the people instead of petitioning the Washington solonsto enact the proposed anti-option law. Wheat, lecturer of the Knights of Labor, moved to lay Willetts' motion on the table, and on a vote the treasury substitute was snowed under.

A Permanent Census Iturean. Mr. Kelly (Kan.), undaunted by the fate of Willetts, offered a resolution that the appropriation pending in congress for a permanent census bureau be indorsed if provision were made for continuing the investigation of farm mortgages as a permanent fart of the work of the bureau. Jerry Simpsou warmly championed Kelly's motion, and Simpson's efforts were heartily seconded by Congressman Livingston (Ga.).

Livingston Willi Is Harmony. Livingston seized the opportunity while upon his feet to repel me accutuition that he ever wrote or uttered one word favoring turning the Georgia alliance into the democratic camp. He invoked, for the sake of the destitute people they all represented, that bickerings be dropped and there be union and harmony. Livingston's reply to the charges against him were well received and he was accorded generous applause from all parts of the house. Uetweeu Livingston and Simpson pulling together the convention, after some desultory discussion, adopted the census resolution by an emphatic vote, the only resolution to be adopted by the convention without previous reference to the platform committee.

Silver for tlic Platform.

A discussion of free coinage was now pitched among the delegates by Wilson. of Georgia, offering a resolution that the convention petition congress for the adoption of Ilia pending bill for

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Congressman Livingston fought hard to have this resolution carried.

Tracy, of Oregou, tacked on an amendment demanding the passage of the sub-treasury bill. Thunderous protests against the consideration of resolutions outside of the platform committee were voiced by Willetts, of Kansas.

Waite, of Colorado, declared the silver men wanted no one-horse resolutions—they wanted a silver plank where it belonged, in the convention platform. He* was taken at his word and the free-silver resolution was put on the table.

For nearly an hour after supper time the convention waited to hear from its mammoth committee on resolutions, but at last adjourned until to-day.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.

Another Victim or Mob I.aw lu Arknimat. PINE HI.UPP, Ark., Feb. 24.—George K. Harris, a negro prisoner in the jail, was riddled with bullets Monday night by a mob at Varner, the county seat of Lincoln county. Shortly before midnight a crowd of armed men entered the sleeping room of Jailer II. B. Rogers and demanded the keys. Rogers refused to deliver them, but was overpowered and when the mob .secured possession of the keys a rush was made for the jail aud Harris' cell was quickly located. The negro had heard the noise, however, and placed a billet of wood in lock in such a manner that the bolt could not be turned. Seeing the door could not be forced open, one of the leaders of the mob deliberately placed the nutzzle of his revolver through the bars, and pulled the trigger. In a minute a score of guns joined in and the negro fell to the floor, fatally injured, the blood streaming from a dozen wounds. Having thus accomplished its work, the mob quickly dispersed. Harris' crime was the murder of E. T. Parker, a sewing-ma-chine man.
