Show - -- THE FARMERS OF INDIANA. They are Holding a Great Convention at Indianapolis This Week. ,Il DlANAPOLis, Nov. 17. Every known organization or-ganization -of the American farmers holds some 6ort of a meeting here this week. One of the most interesting questions is, "Shall all the interests of these concerns be merged into one?" Hundreds of delegates are already al-ready in the city. Congressman Jerry Simpson, who arrived yesterday, speaks most favorably of the alliance outlook. President Ferrell, of the confederated industrial organizations, com-drising com-drising the farmers' mutual benetit association, associa-tion, the citizens' alliance, the knights of labor and the national alliance, saidof the objects of the meeting: "The purpose is to take action toward the unification of all labor interests; to adopt a platform that ail the organizations in the confederation can stanioa; so that by united action, they may proc re the legislation they demand." Tli question of combining with other labo organizations is not to be taken up until un-til 11 February meeting. The hardest political polit-ical will be made on the endorsement of tL people's party by the alliance, the con-sens con-sens ; of opinion of the delegates already here eing that the alliance wiil not endorse the t rd party, but will indorse that party who platform most closely proclaims alliance alli-ance Vinciples.' Present Polk s?id that, while the alliance is opposing Cleveland, italsoopposed Blaine, HarnsofcHiH, ard any other man who d;d not advoiWte .jiance principles. "By the way," J?e'J'V"ao doubt you have ho&rd of the great iwmbination of Stanford knd Polk for the mead of the third party tidket. Why! Stanfocll? Stanford would noif get one alliance tote for constable. All these articles eircr.lated urging Stanford for the preside on the third party ticket are paid boomers for him. His circulation cir-culation bill was a pernicious mes sure proposed pro-posed to degrade the currency from the very start. |
