Alliance Leaders Split Over Third Party Endorsement
A nine member committee led by McDowell of Tennessee prepared an address urging harmony within the Southern Alliance and opposing the Third Party. The vote rejected endorsing the Third Party by a 1 to 16 margin, with J I Tillman active against it. An alternative long address backed preservation of free institutions and urged voters to support lawmakers aligned with Alliance goals. Greeting was sent to northern and northwest brothers seeking industrial freedom and defense against organized capital.
