The committee appointed to consider the Conference Report 

 now presented their report, which was a satisfactory solution of 

 the differences heretofore existing in the State Alliance. The 

 report was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, amid cheers 

 and other manifestations of deep feeling. It was felt that har- 

 mony had been fully restored, and the main object of this called 

 session had been accomplished. 



"REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PROCEEDINGS OF CONFERENCE 

 COMMITTEE. 



"We, to whom were referred the proceedings of a number of Alliance 

 brothers, calling themselves a Conference Committee, which met in Waco, 

 November 10, 1886, beg leave to submit the following resolutions, which we 

 earnestly recommend the Alliance to adopt, without debate, and in the spirit 

 of brotherly love and kindness, as a settlement of the seeming dissatisfaction 

 among our brothers : 



" Whereas, There is no warrant in our constitution for any committee of 

 conference ; therefore be it 



"Resolved, i. That the proceedings of said Conference Committee be not 

 recognized by the Farmers' State Alliance. 



. "2. That the official action of the Executive Committee in accepting the 

 resignation of President Dunlap, Vice-President Eddleman, and Executive 

 Committee-man Harrison, is hereby approved ; also all other acts in accord- 

 ance with the constitution of the Farmers' State Alliance. 



"3. That we re-indorse and reaffirm the demands passed at the Cleburne 

 session, with the construction that they are non-partisan in a political sense.

"W. F. PETTY, Committee." 



The committee on Acting President Macune's report said : 



" We have examined carefully the report of Brother Macune, and find it 

 full and explicit, and in keeping with law, justice, and economy, and we 

 recommend its indorsement. We further recommend that he be sustained 

 in his action in calling this session, as we conceive it has been the means of 

 protecting and preserving our noble order." 



In this is found the complete vindication and approval of what 

 had been considered by some an invasion of the rights of the 

 order, and is a fixed example of the reward which usually follows 

 patience and well-doing.
