The Goldsboro Daily Argus con tains t ho following open letter to the lYoph-'g party candidate ror I low riu-r: I'o tiie Hon. W. P. Exum, People's Party candidate for Governor of North Carolina ; My Dear Sir: After looking care fully over the field, I find every ar gument against the Democratic par ty false. I looked carefully through the "political tickler" and I find the Republican party is responsible for all the had laws, and ou'y occasion, ally lias a Democrat voted for any of the;e bad laws. The Republi can party passed all the bad nets of financial legislation which we have had sir.ee lSitO, namely those acts explained in the '"seven financial conspiracies" so truthfully by Mrs. Emery, and when these measures went through Congress every branch was E-publio.tir One of the lead ing facts r.u r rif riners now advo cate is that this legislation has been lnnrc harmful than even the iniqui tous protective tariff laws, of which the R -publican party is also the au thor and advocate. When Mrs. Emery's eloquence shook the faith of the western Republicans in their party, I am of the opinion that the enjoinment should have been, go to the Democratic party which has so earnestly opposed these conditions that now crush the laborer and far mer to almost a half' existing state of livelihood. If the reformers now divide on the verge of victory, is ;t not suicide and especially so when they are to look to the Republican rarty for assistance, and that party the acknowledged author of all the evils of which we complain ? I see eo many dangers ahead that I tremble for "lie destiny of our State under the existing political condition of af fairs. The Republicans are now taking a census of the voters to find out our strength in the following way : First : To know how many People's party men we have that have been Democrats. Second: How many will return to the Deniocritic fold in case they give us a three cornered iiht. Now if they are assured cf a victory to fight their own battle they rejoice at our division and will take advantage of the s:i:no. But as the last resort they will support our People's partv ticket and a victory for r form, and only leave us at their mercy in L'JG. Hence the very same lion that pulls our load in 1S!2 will turn on us and devour ii3 in IS'.';. And I see that victo ry for us now is a victory for the Republican party in 1800, with the strong probability of their coming in the field in the eleventh hour this y.ar even and carrying the Stat1 by reason of the People's par ty. While I regret to be seemingly untrue to my fiiends in the People's party theie is a duty more sacred than personal friendship and that duty is to go in the cause that calls the patriotic sons of North Carolina to the standard bearers of Democrat cy ; j.nd under this banner I am not only true to my friends but to all o' her citizens of my State, because Democracy i3 the true friend of all the people the masses. I surrender J. all political ambition or prospectj for what I ccnceive to be a more sacred duty, viz: voting the Demo cratic ticket and thereby proving myself faithful to the best interests of my State and country. 1 assure you of my personal friendship, and also regr-t everything that shall prove detrimental to you personally. Rut I assure you that the same mo tives that caused me to be your politi cal advocate, caused ma, upon accus rate investigation, to be true to the pady that oppose the great evils that now afflict us. Yours very respectfully, Dal. M. Hardy. Goldsboro, X. C, Aug. 2'J, "J2. WH AT I YOl" 'I I! I Mi. Mk, Editor: In the beginning, the Alliance claimed to be nonsec tarian and nonpartisan. In other words it said that it was neither a religious sect nor a political party. It professed not to interfere with a man's religious or 'political convic tions. In the religious domain it lias adhered to its futulimental principle of nenseetariauism, but in the political realm it ha? depart ed from the fundamental principle of nonpartisanship by demanding and insisting that its adherents stand on the platform .f the Popu lite party, and vote for those candi dates only who have adopted vith out mental reservation and will ad vocate with heartiness the poli'cal principles contained in said plat form. A foundation s'ouo and the principal one has been removed from beneuMi the Alliance superstructure, and the safety and the perpetuity of the same have been endangered. The underlying nonpolitical princN pie of the organization, which made it possible to catch men of all polit- ical all: nations and thus to augment with little persuasion the number of adherents, has been cast aside as worthless, and in its stead political allegiance has been substituted and made the touchstone cf a membei's loyalty. And yet it is said that the Alliance is true to its Constitution and teaching as fird presented. Such a statement wiil not bear scrutiny. It is not a fact. The present political attifude of the Al liance cannot be reconciled with its oiiginal nonpartisan claim and pro fusion. At first a Denocrat or 71 -publican was infornud that the Alliance was not in polities, that it expecud to s-cure its demands through the parties already in ex- IS PltOX Alil.Y il II.TY.
