HASTINGS , Nob. , January 26.---The state farmers' alliance completed its labors here to-night. The nowa of Guitoau'a conviction was received dur ingtho day. There were great demon strations of joy. Three rousing cheers were given for the jury. The following resolutions were adopted without n dissenting vote : Ilcaolved , That wo advocate and will support and defend the rights of the many against the privilegea of the few ; that corporations , the creation of the state , should bo controlled by the state ; labor and capital are allies , not enemies ; in accordance with these principles wo allirm that the public welfare and safety demand the follow ing measures of relief : First. Law a compelling transporta tion companies to base their charges upon the coat and risk of service , with u fair profit added , instead of the now theory advanced by them of what traffic will bear ; the laws to prohibit the establishment , through construction companies or ether devices , of a fictitious cost for works of a public nature , prohib iting unjust discriminations against cituena and localities ; railroad com missions , state and national , with adequate quato powers to see that theao laws are enforced ; a liberal policy toward our water ways which during tlio sea son of navigation are potent in preventing venting exorbitant charges by rail roads. Second. Moro efficient laws against the crime of bribery and for the pro tection of the purify of the ballot a prohibition of free passes. Third. A public service founded on capacity and integrity. Fourth. The public lands , the com mon inheritance of the whole people should bo reserved for actual settlers ; Fifth. Currency , the measure oi values whether metalic or paper , should bo equal to coin and bo issued and controlled by the government only. Sixth. The known benefits of the postal systems of ether countries to be adopted in the United States , includ ing the postal savings bank , the pos tal telegraph and the telephone. Seventh. A free press , the bulwark of our free institutions , must bo main tained. Leading journals have boon purchased by monopolists who are en deavoring to control the thought of the nation ; the journals which are not thus controlled should bo sustained by the people. Resolved , That it is the scnso of this alliance that a legal rate for pas aenger tariff shall in no case exceed two cents per mile , for freights shall not i-xcecd two conta per ton per milo for distances of 100 milea or less , and ono cent per ton pur milo for greater distances ; that any poison accepting a pass from any railroad in tins state shall be held criminally liable , and the company offering such pasa shall be equally liable und puniahablo as the law shall direct , and that the legisla ture bo requested to enact such law u as shall conform to the foregoing reso lutions. Resolved , That as a largo portion of the railway lands of this state pay no tax , oven after they lire gold , but the party buying said land is taxed upon his payments as personal property , that wo momoriah/o congrosH upon the question that the railroads bo required quired to either pay their just portion of tax on lands hold under the grant of congress or that said lands revert to the government and bo thrown open to homestead and preemption , Resolved , That the state alliance unequivocally condemn the bill in troduced by Representative Valentino tine providing for a contingent con- grosamau from Nebraska with back pay from March 4th , 1879 , as such a measure would bo fraud upon the people , relleot discredit upon the state , and confei no corresponding benefit ; Resolved , That wo heartily com mend the action of Senator Van Wjck in hia cilbrta to protect the rights of thu Bottlers on thu St. Joe & Denver railroad ; Resolved , That tlio arbikraiy and tyrannical treatment of individu als by the railroad corporations when their interests contlict , oxcitcs our lively indigiiiation , and that the ease with which our courts are made their oupplo instruments excites our pro found alarm. THE FIRST DAY. ItECOKU OF l-nOpKKDISOS. Special Corrciondoiicu ] ol The i > io HASTINGS , Nob. , January 25. The state farmer's alliance met in this city at 10 a , in. yesterday in special session for the purpose of perfecting i ? ! f ? ) ita organization , and was called to or .lor by President Ingcrsoll , of Tccum sah. sah.On On motion the following committee - ' too on credentials was appointed Messrs. Matteson , of Fillmore , Mo- Graw of Adams , IJcrguson of Hamil ton and Upton of Thayor. Upon the departure of the committee to prooaro its report ilESIDKXT INOKllSOLL briefly stated the object of the meet ing. Ilo said that the farmers of this country had been justly reproached with shirking many of their duties. Others had said "Lot the tailor stick to hia ; ooso and the farmer to his plow. " llothoughtall farmers Imd the God given right to think , apeak and act upon every question that could possibly como within the ranuo of human thought and action. Ho thought Senator Van Wyck had given them aonio peed suggestions in his address nt the state fair at Omaha last fall and had also given thorn some just criticisms not loss politics but moro politics for the farmora had boon the senator's advice. Any question concerning the welfare of mankind could bo strained into a political ques tion of the effort were made. Many of the evils complained of grow out of the neglect of organization. Ho had been requested to prepare ap-xpor on the subject of organization and . had done so , which paper he would pre sent Inter in the proceedings. AI.LKV HOOT , of Omaha , being called for , said that it was unnecessary for him to discuss in a doctrinal point of view the prin ciples of the alliance ; they had como hero to discuss the question of "how to do it , " not "how not to do it. " They had to-day to draft wajsand means to carry out their views. The question must predominate in the minds of those prcsont whether they should have n soperato and distinct organicxtion. [ Applause ] If you wish to niako a compound , , it ia neces sary to select the ingredients , put tin-in in a mortar und pound them up. Some of the counties in the state are already prepared to make their com pound , but he would say to these counties , "Hang up your herbs and lot them dry until other counties get roxdy their herbs to go into this com pound. " The ingredients are com posed ( f republicans , democrats and groenbackers ; take thorn away from their old politic xl haunts and vil lainies [ Applause ] Have them got out , and let us have something that ia of the people , for the people , and by the people. Lot us wait until sixteen or seventeen other states are ready to move ; lot not your compound bo made until all your other ingredients are prepared. 'I ho whole object of this meeting was to sot in motion some means whereby these counties can bo organized. I would nay , "Got your organizations first , and then at our next annual mooting , in Septem ber , arrange to make selections from the other tickets of state and county officers. " In our last senatorial elec tion wo made no fight , but out of the muddle came ono good man. [ Ap plause ] Though it was the merest chance that Senator Van Wyck was elected , ho stands before the people of the state of Nebraska in just the attitude we desire. [ Applause. ] Wo don't want farmers' organiza tions only , but we want to include other business interests the laborer , mechanic , business man and mer chants. Wo wish to have others be sides lawyers represented in the busi ness of the nation. To-day every man in the cabinet ia u lawyer. Are there no business interests in this country but these of lawyers I Put into the republican , the democratic , and the greenback conventions as many alliances men as you can. If those parties will not nominate alii ance men after you have asked them to , then it is they who ha\o driven you from the party , ( Applause. ) K. S. ( IILBKKT , of Caas county , being c tiled for , said that he had been in Nobnska foi BIX years , and for four of them had bi-un workiny with his neighbors , urging them to array themselves against the opprcnsionsof monopolies. When the legislature fmet in 188L ho wont to Lincoln with a petition , but found , upon consulting with Mr. Elton , editoi of The Lincoln Globe , then considered ono of the org ins of the alliance , that ho w is in adv.tnco of Mr. Eaton in hia \ iuws. Ho waa in favor of squeezing every , drop of water out of railroad stock. Thu bonds and lands gi on railroads weto not gifti outright , but were simply a basis of security for thu men who should choose to furnish the money to build those railro.ids , and ho did not wunt the railroid men to bo allowed interest on those bonds oren on money duo them on Ixnda Ho hud bought a piece of railroad land and had paid u good rate of in turest for it ; ho had paid out and hav ing gone through the mill ho didn't propose to pay the railroxds any morn interest in that way. Hu wanted that railroads should rectivo interest only on the amount of money they had actually invested. It had been stated to him that the mini of fifty million dollars had been given the H. it M road by the people of Nobrtskii. However that may be , ho was satisfied th.tt enough money had been given that road in Nebraska and Iowa to build it from Chicago to Keirnoy and fully equip it , paying for oven every piece ot blown paper used by the com pany. ' The speaker had fought in the antislavery - slavery ranka for foity years under the most discouraging circumstances liu had witnessed the unti Masonic conflict , and had been a democrat not a technical democrat but such a democrat as our fjavior was. Ho bo- liuved that a public sentiment iigainst monopolies could bo successfully created , but the organ ! /ation of a political i arty waa a slow and expensive siveprocess. . Four thousand million dollars are arrayed against the alliance and that sum cannot bo successfully fought by ten cent contributions , In Caaa county there are 0,000 pee ple who have no interest in favor of the alliance. If wo nro forced into nn independent party wo are killed dead as rx muckered. The railroads are robbing Casi cotintv of § 400,000 annually in passenger and freight over and above a rate which would return an interest of from 10 to 25 per cent , which is a great deal more mor.oy than farmera nro making on their inveatmoitta. Ho thought the pnssongcr rate should be reduced to 2j cottta per milo , aud ho wanted the freight Uxriff reduced two-thirds. " The support of the press of the state ia a very important matter to the alliance , and the attempt to form n separate ptrty now might deprive the alliance of that support. If Mr. Rosewater , of THK BKK , were present , ko would like to known what position his paper would take in case an inde pendent party were formed. To tight without nowsptpors would belike like attempting to carry on war with out anna or ammunition. During the war thcro had boon a great cry of "On to Richmond , " and Hull Run and diststor to the union army was the result. VllESIDENT IMIKKbOU. said that the enforcement of soolionl , article 2 , of the atato constitution > < as all that waa required in the way of affording to the people of the state in formation aa to what the railroads were rculi/imr upon their investments ; that an attempt had been mndo by the legislature last winter to enact n law to carry out the prousions of the con stitution in that rcuurd , but that the railroad experts had mitnaged to whip around until the object arrived nt had failed of accomplishment. Secretary Burrows stated that ho had prepared a abort ronort , giving the status of thu organization , the objects of this meeting , etc. , and that perhaps this would bo a proper time to present it. He then presented the following : 1IISTOKV aV THE ALLIANCE. A little moro than a your ago the state alliance was organized at Lin coln. By a portion of the press of the atato , which derives its inspiration from railroad managers , it was called a foolish , weak-brained movement , and its promoters were denounced as fanatics or demagogues , but the verdict dict of the farmeia of the atato has been of the nppoaito character. They have rallied to the support of the movement with a unanimity that 1ms been surprising. Fully 300 subordi nate alliances have been oiganized in Nebraska in the year just passed , em bracing a membership of between 11- , 000 and 12,000. , A year ago the active formation of alliances was just beginning. Now they have an existence in the states of Nebraska , Kansas , Iowa , Now York , Wisconsin , Michigan , Missouri , Indiana , Illinois and Minnesota , while then ; are st.i'o alliances orgam/.cd in Nebraska , Now York , Illinois , Iowa , Kansas , Wisconsin , Michigan , und Indiana. There are probably 1,200 subordinate alliances formed , with a membership of about 30,000. This growth is simply prodigious. And when we consider that the largo ma jority of the farmers of the country , whether members of the society or not , are fully in sympathy with its objects , and ready to join at uny time when opportunity offers , wo dis.-over still further occasion for congrat ulation N\ hen wo consider , also , that the alliance apparently attacks an iu terest which all concede forma the basis e > f notonly our well-being but our very existence aa communities in the west , it will bo plain to the most su perficial observer that there must bo aonie real und glaring evils existing in that interest which form an almost in tolerable burden on the .shoulders of the people to impel them to unite so generally for defence. There nrn at this date in Nobtaska 332 chaitered subordinate alliances. A portion of these are not , perhaps , in active operation ; but in aneli cises the organi/ation exists , unl forma a ready moans of communication bo- tueen ita members and the state alli ance , und an emergency nil ! nt any time call it into uctu ity.

Such bodies were not au thorised by the slate constitution un til our late annual meeting , and then by an oversight in the revision of the constitution , it was nut made incum bent on their secretaries to report their oigani/ixtion to the state accru- tary. I luve therefore no nu'uim of making an exact statement of their numbers , I believe , however , that about twenty-five are now organised in thu hUto , Of the counties having no alliance within their borders , ten are east of Adams ; nine are north of the 1'latto , and one south of it. Of the balance of Hiich counties thirteen are west or upon the line of Adams , and of these nine are in the South I'latto country. It will bo seen , thorefote , from thu liven distribution of those counties throughout thu state that there can be no general local cause which has ro tantcd thu formation of alliances in certain counties. As there haa been no systematic dibit to extend their organization , but thia has boon left to the impulse of the inhabitants of the counties so accident can bo solely chargeable with the lack of their ox- 'stereo in these counties. St'OUKSTlONS AS TO WOHK. The work to which your nUontiou ii nvitod nt the present mooHinj is , first , : ho devising of some offoctivot method 'or organizing the alliance in those counties in which it has nn yet no 'ootltold , and extending it whore it ins gained only n fooblb hold. It has 3eon thought that a atato otgnnmnir committee , miniating of ono member from each county , with a chairmm olootod bj this mooting , who inixj or may not bo additional to the members , would bo perhaps ono of the nuwt effective moana of carrying forward this work. The cominitteom n for the county can have nn advisory super * vision ever the work in his count ) , it being his duty to atinuilnto organize lion and encourage members to con tinue in the good work. Th6 Stixto Secretary w ill thus bo afforded a reli able medium of communication with ouch county in the ptato , aud a reidy means of disseminating information It is also recommended that there should bo established a Bounty orgui- mm , ' committee , consisting of one member for each precinct , whoso duty it shall bo to see that at least one alliance is found in each precinct in the county. It may bo well , also , to require each subordinate alliance in the atato to appoint a committuo to enroll every farmer in its precinct upon blnnk of a uniform character , to bo furnished by the atato sccrot.xry , and forward thu same to him , to euailo thu state alliance to perform extensive mission- arj work for the accomplishment of its object , should it at any time become - come necessary. It would also , in my opinion , bo ad visable for the county committee in connection with the mombera of the state committee , to lake measures to ascertain and report to the state sec retary for publication the former political record of every person \\lio may declare himself a candidate for any inipoitant ollico during the approaching preaching campaign , and that the state alliance shall , ever the signature of its oflicers , recommend the defoit of nil candidates whoso records aie adverse to the objects of the alliance , or who ate of such a character us not to inspire eonfidenco in their profes sions. You may also think it desiiahlu , after discussion , to appoint a commit tee to suggest aiibjecta upon which you desiio enactments by the next legislature , and per haps to formulate bills upon all or n portion of such subject. The extreme shortness of the session under the constitution , and the fact that nn election of United Stxtes aenxtor u to take place , which will probably for a tune diatr.ict attention from other work , renders it almost impossible to nmtuio important legislation during a single session. But the greatest oare should bo taken in the selection of such a committee , and the subjects entrusted to it should bo expressly stated. It would bo bettor that no committee should bo appointed than ono which would perform its dutWm an improper manner. Should you downline to make special efforts to push the alliance into these counties in which it is not yet organi/ed , it seems indispensiblo that a special fund should be provided for that purpose. One mooting in i county , with aufliciont prououa pro parationa , would sot the hall in motion. Such meetings would prob ably contribute a portion of the ox- ponse. The expenses of a speaker going into such counties muat bo pro vided for , aid the part not made up by local meetings would ha\o to bo found elsewhere. The report was adopted , WM. next addressed the alliance in ro- spoiiBO to loud calls. He said he came hero with the conviction that this was to bo the most important meeting ever hold in thia poition ol the state. It is not necessary to state why wo arc here.
