The president's gavel fell at 10
o'clock, and Mr. Granberry, at the re
quest of President Jones, arose and in
troduced to the Alliance Hon. H. A.
Llnu, acting mayor of Austin, who
'delivered the address of welcome.
Mr. Linn tendered a hearty wel
come to Austin to the members
of the Alliance. He descanding upon
the principle of the Alliance which lie
said the people of the stale ought to
study. He hoped that during their
stay the delegates would visit the
great state institutions of charity and
that members would have a most
plsa9ant sojourn in their capital city.
Mr. Linn was replied to by Mr.
Stump Ashby on behalf of the Alli
ance. He made a hearty response to
the sentiments uttered by Mr. Linn
'Mr. Ashby alluded to the fact that
the relations of the people of Texas
towards the people of Austin were not
strained, and the people of the state
took an equal pride with those of
Austin in the Capital City. The
speaker then gave an amusing ac
count of the origin of the Farmers
Alliance and the meeting, many
years ago, of five old farmers in a
blacksmith shop in Parker county,
, who elected a president, had no need
'Of a treasurer, and who in resolutions
adopted signed themselves, "We, the
peeple of the United States." Yot
- from five men the order had soon
. grown into ten thousand.
Mr. Ashby then spoke substantially
; as follows:
I think with the mayor that it is
; good for ua to meet in the capital city
and to become familiar with the in
stitutions of our state in which we
are all so much interested. Wo are
gratified to meet here with such a
cordial welcome and are glad our re
la'lons to the people of this great city
are free, full and hearty. As in a
large measure representative men of
Texas, we are proud to have present
so srood looking a body of men from
the rural districts. We are here today
in such numbers as will be respected
by the people of the whole state.
Men love perfection, in manhood or
rit, KB is technically known. We
have had the patience, courage and
vigor to build up from a very small
beginning a mighty institution that
covers this great hospitable state of a
country that spreads from sea to sea
and from the lakes to the Gulf, and in
which there is no spot in which there
is not a Farmers' Alliance. (Ap
plause.) Our aim is to educate our
people in the science of government,
and last, but not least, to improve our
financial condition.
From an humble beginning we soon
grev into an association of 10.0(H)
farmers that with banners and music
won applauseand now we look abroad
our country and see 7,000,000 farmers,
the tramp of whose marching shakes
the whole land. (Applause.) We
have satisfied the people that we are
engaged in a laudable work and we
are not satisfied but will lend a help
ing hand to our laboring urban popu
lation. (Applause.) Our work is
the life work of the people.
The speaker closed by a glowing
tribute to the women as leaders of re
form, and also to the State University.
At the close of Mr. Ashby's remarks
President Jones called the State Alli
ance to order, with the request that
all not entitled to seats should retire,
which let the reporters out. with
them went the spectators, who did
not amount to many. The Alliance
then went into secret session at 10:30,
President Jonea in the chair.

PRESIDENT JONES' ADDRESS.
The president read his annual ad
dress in which he congratulated mem
bers of the order in thus beinsr able to
participate in the Thirteenth annual
session of the State Alliance. He al
luded to the present exciting political
campaign in which the very life of the
oruer win ne tried as never before.
While much has been accomplished
in raising me industrial classes t j a
higher plane of social manhood yet
we find tho octojus of avaricious
greed sending forth its deadly tenta
cles in the shape of corporate
and wicked combinations seizing our
industries and dragging down to pov
erty and degradation the laboring
classes of our country. The time has
come when the industrial classes must
stand together with a vigorous hos
tility to all vicious and discriminat
ing legislation, striking a death blow
to sectional prejudice.
The president appealed to woman
to give her inlluence in favor of the
order, and hoped for universal educa
tion, so that by banishing Ignorance
we shall also banish crime, poverty,
want and misery.
On the sublect of land the president
said the home must be protected and
encouraged, and deplored the fact that
so much of the public domain of this
country is passing into the liands of
foreign syndicates.
On railroads he said: "Under indi
vidual or corporate ownership and
management of our present system of
railroads and their regulation a
proper adjustment of the transporta
tion tariff's cannot be attained. We
would Biiggest, therefore, that injus
tice to all government ownershin and
operation is the ultimatum."
While declaring the Alliance is not
and can never be a political organiza
tion, yet it maintains as a principle of
its declaration of purposes the right to
teach the great fundamental princi
ples of government.
On the financial issue President
Jones said it had become necessary
for the people to take from
individuals and corporations the
power to contract the currency
and this could best be done by the
government issuing money direct to
the people, In quantities suflicient to
perform its function.
He closed by saying the present
outlook along the line justified en
couragement, and on retiring from
oltlce he expressed his gratitude to
members of the Alliance.

THE SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE
TWO KEPIMENTS OF MILITIA ON DUTY
AT BUFFALO.
All Quiet at the Scene of Late Troubles and
Authorities Claim to Be Able to Com
mand the Station Non-Union
lien Going In.
Buffalo, Aug. 16. There were ho
sensational developments in the
switchmen's strike last night and the
situation has improved. With two
excellent regiments of tho National
Guard in the field and the police re
inforced by 200 specials, the feeling is
much more reassuring than yester
day. The calling out of the militia by
the sheriff is generally commended,
especially as his deputies proved
oracticallv worthless, and manv of
them deserted at tne nrsc snow oi op
nosition. The notice claim to be ab
K "
to handle the strike inside the city
limits, but In the town of Cheektowa
ga the situation is different.
STOPPED NON-UNION MEN.
Buffalo, Aug. 16. About thirty
non-union switchmen came on the
Lehigh Valley last night and were
quartered at the United States hotel.
A committee from the strikers vis
ited them and asked them to go home.
They agreed to do so provided union
men would pay their expenses. As
none of them can be found at the hotel
it is supposed the union men sent
them away. The New York Central
called on Sheriff Beck at an early
hour this morning and demanded pro
tection for its property. The roadmen
have not struck but the company re
ceived intimation that they might do
so and trouble is feared. It is known
that a committee were sent to Super
intendent Burroughs of the Central
yesterday for a conference. Finding
him out on the line a statement was
telegraphed him. His reply was re
ceived but gave the men no satisfac
tion. QUIET AT ELMIRA.

quiet. The company has not made
any efforts to move any trains which
the strikers do not interfere with.
THE VANDERBILT SYSTEM.
SCHENECHADY, N. Y., Aug. 16.
Bailwaw officials here say that there
are no union switchmen east of Syra
cuse on the Central, and no trouble is
apprehended here, although some
men declare openly that Vice Presi
dent Webb has not suppressed organ
ized labor on the Vanderbilt system,
and there is a possibility that train
men are stopping work through sym
pathy. MILITIA UNDER ARMS.
Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 16. Mem
bers of the First and Eighth separate
companies of the State National
Guard received orders to be ready to
go to Buffalo at a moment's notice.
TRAINS RUNNING REGULARLY.
Susquehana, Pa., Aug. 16. The
switchmen's strike has not reached
this point, and the situation remains
unchanged since yesterday. The men
are reticent and give little informa
tion. Union men are simply waiting
orders from headquarters before mak
ing a move. Passenger trains are run
ning on time, and through freight is
coming east irom over the western
division.
RUMORS OF A STRIKE.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 16. It is
rumored this afternoon that the
Central switchmen would strike to
night, but the report is not verified.
Blaine Will Speak.
Boston, Aug. 16. A Bar Harbor
dispatch says authoritlvely: "BJaine
will speak in the coming campaign in
Maine. He does not feel strong enough
to make a regular stumping tour but
will make five minutes speeches at
various points."
