I was rnoninatlng over this
when I read that Tom Harde
man was in the field for gover
nor. The grand old man has
put on his war paint and is be
fore the people. I don't know
what the young men will do,
but the old ones will nearly all
go for him. I served with him
in the last white man's legi&la-
lure and I know him." All the
old men remember his services
in the dark days of reconstruc
tion. The legislature of 1866
was the last one that was all
white pure white, and Tom
Hardeman was the soeaker
the level-headed adviser ' and
counselor, and along with Ben
Hill and' Stephens and Jenkins
and Johnson and Cobb, piloted
the good sMd of state safelv
through the breakers. Tom
llardeman is the last of the
seven : all dead but he and
'11 not 1'oresake him now. Mr.
Tortheu was good enough for
me until Hardeman came put.
The Brunswick Tiroes says it is
for xsorthen, but not a line
shall be written that will dis-
honor the name or tarnish the
fame of Tom Hardeman. That
is right. Let us all do that
way. For one time let us have
a clean and an honorable cam
paigu. Georgia will be honored
if either is elected. If you
can't conscientously vote for
Tom then vote for Bill, and
vice versa. They are both old
Georgia's sons, and have served
us faithfully in every position
to which they have been called.
Well, I am just obliged to
vote for Hardeman, for my
wife, Mrs. Arp, says his folks
are a Km to her ioiks away
round in some tangled up
way. I think tbat his step
mother's aunt married her
grandfather's uncle-in-law, or
some such -way. and that is
near enough for the Holt stock
that she came from to claim
kin with. They stick like wax
to the remotest generation.
I wonder what is the matter
with Atlanta papers. If they
have made any sign I haven't
seen it. Evan Howell knows
right now how the cat is going
to jump, but he won't tell. I
wonder if Atlanta is grooming
Tom Glenn for a dark horse,
1 don't care. He is another
Tom whom the people will
delight to honor. Some yes,
some day later on, perhaps,
but some day. I asked a friend
to-day whom he was forgover
nor, and he said, "I really don't
know and it troubles me. I
was content with Northen
until Oid Tom came out, and
now if I knew which one want
ed the office the worst I would
go for him."
I wonder how old Uncle Tom
looks. I haven't seen him
since I met mm a lew veara
ago at Carrpllton, at the farm
r' barbecue. He made a
great speech there and a cranky
old fellow interrupted him and
asked him what kind of calves
mide the "best milk co s, and
Tom said, "Heifer calves, of
course, my friends," and the
laugh was about over when tne
old crank said, "Don't mma
me. colonel, for they do say
I'm crazy, but I'm for you for
governor, all the same." And
old Tom looked calm ana serene
and said, "Crazy ! crazy, indeed;
not at all, my friend ; your
mind is as clear as a bell and
as sound as fdollar! I will
swear to it in the court house."
We waiit old Tom to come up
to Cartersville and stand up be
fore our people and shake those
grizzly locks and talk democ-
racy, pure ana nuncio, auu
we want Northen to come, too,
and I will invite them to my
house and will all break bread
together and wind up the day
with music and good will. But

1. That we demand- the
abolition of national banks,
and substitution of legal tender
treasury notes in lein of nation
al bank notes, issued in suf
ficient volume to do the busi
ness of the country on a cash
system, regulating the amount
needed on a per capita basis as
the business interest of the
country extends, and that all
money Issued by the govern

payment of all debts, both
public and private.
I approve of the above de
mand, and if elected to a seat
in the United States Congress
will end3avor to have it enact
ed into a law.

2. That we demand - that
Congress shall pass ' such laws
as shall effectually prevent the
dealing in futures of all agri
cultural and mechanical pro
ductions; preserving a string
ent system of procedure in
trials as shall! secure tbe
prompt conviction, and impos
ing sucn penalties as shall
secure the most perfect com

I heartily approve, of the
above demand, and if elected
will endeavor to have such law
enacted.

Fpnrpose'of pledging the cau
didates :for" nomination' and

have ben ratified by a large
majority of tbe subordinate
Alliances in North Carolina.
Politicians have so often
deceived ns by their verbal
promises, which they bretk
and then deny having made,'
that we have decided fox the
future to take their pledges in
black and white.
If the candidate to whom
this card is presented for his
signature signs it, then the
person ho psesented it will
immediately send, it to tbe
secretary oi the .State . Alliance
to he kept for reference, so that
if any. constituent .desires to
know if he favors our demands
he can get that information
from the State secretary.
If the candidate refuses to
sign this card, then tha person
who presented it will immedi
ately . report that fact to the
secretary of the State Alliance.
If , the c candidate signs the
obligation to support a portion
of these , demands and- refuses.
to agree to support the others
then he can, if hechoosas, give
ms reasons, m writing, ror so
doing, and they, will be for
warded to the . secretary and
filed with the card; or if a
candidate who refuses to sign
any of them, desires to give
his reasons for so doing, if he
will reduce them to writing
they will be forwarded and filed
with the notification of his
refusal.

TO SIGN AND GIVES HIS REASONS.
When Mr. McAlister present
ed the card to Col. Jones, tbe
latter said hb would reply to
the secretary in writing; and
yesterday evening Col. Jones
mailed a letter to the secretary
of the Alliance, - of which the
following is a verbatim copy
Charlotte, N. C, June 18, 1890
L. C. Allster. Esq., Sec'y Meek
lenburg Co. I armers' Alliance
Sir: I -have carefully read
the demands in the shape of a
declaration of principles sub-
mittea by tne Alliance and re
spectfully decline to sign the
aame. In announcing myself as
a ondldate I distinctly stated
that I did so subject to the
decision of the Democratic con
ven tion to held J at Laurinburg
on the 29th oe July. If nooiinat
ed I shall be the candidate of
that party, standing squarely
upon its platform. -
My first allegiance is to the
party whose candidate I aspire
to become. To it, in my opinion
this country owes whatever of
liberty and good government it
enjoys, and whoever under
takes to set up a standard of
political principles indepeud
ent of It, Is distrubing its
harmony and destroying Its
efficiency. It is the party of
the people,' As a proof of the
fact, it aucoeeded on yesterday
Iu securing the passage
tnrougn congress 01 a
bill providing for the free
coinage of silver; which I
notice Is one of the measures
demanded by the Alliance and
it is engaged at this very
moment in aatuggle against the
great evil of legislation in the
shape of burdensome tariffs,
subsidies, &c which is another
of the evils of which the Alli
ance complains. Can not the
people safely trust this great
party to labor for it in the
future as it has done in the
past ?
But there ia another objecs
tion which I have to signing
the pledge which you present
in the behalf of the Alliance.
I am reliably Informed that of
the twenty-five hundred far
mers in tne county, less tnan
twelve hundred of them are
connected with the Alliance,
and that in this congressional
district less than one-third of
them belong to it. Now you
have excluded these non-AUU
ance farmers from yottr de
liberations as you, have ' ex
cluded me 1 you have not given
us an opportunity, to. hear your
discussions of . these measures
If elected to Congress I will
recognize the fact that a large
majority jo f my constituents
are farmers.:1 I . hope I should
labor for their : improvement,
but 1 certainly, would be liable
to be xreatly.embarrassed if I
Were to pledge myself in ad
vance to that one third of
Raleigh, June 16, 1880.
At a meeting of the Demo
cratic State Executive Corns
mittee, held in this city on the
10th. inst., it was resolved that
the Democratic State Conven
tion be held in the city of Ral
eigh on "Wednesday, the 20th
of August, 1890.
It will devolve oa this con-
vention'to nominate for va
cancies filled by appointment
of governor, a chief justice and
one associate justice of the
supreme court, and judge of the
superior court for tho first,
fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth
districts, also judges of the
superior codrt for the second,
sixth, seventh and eleventh
districts to succeed tne pres
ent incumbents, whose terms
expire, and to adopt a plat
form of principles and tor such
other business as may properly
come before it. . - -
The convention is called to
meet later than in 188S to suit
the convenience of the great
masses of Democratic voters,
so that a fnllet representation,
reflecting a more general senti-
ineDt, may be insured, and. it is
very desirable that the dele
gates shall attend.
The Democratic party con
gratulates the people of the
State upon the material and
moral advancement made un
der its beneficent administra
tion of affairs, and having
redeemed its pledges in the
past, presents its claims to
them for a continuance of that
confidence to which it is justly
entitled, fully assured tbat
they will be recognized and
the-iuterests of all classes thus
subserved.
The term for which Hon,
Zebulon B. Vauce has been
elected to the Senate of the
United States will expire next
March, and the legislature to
be chosen this year will be
called upon to fill it. It be
hooves us to see to it that no
Republican is elected to the
Senate from this State. V
The committee most .earn
estly requests a thorough early
organization in every township
and county in the State,
is essential that this primary
work shall be done at once, so
that we may be ready for an
active, energetic campaign as
soon as the convention adjourns.
It will not do to assume that
our opponents, because they
are inactive now, have no life.
They can organise with celerity,
and stand ready to take ad
vantage of any apparent
lethargy on .our part, and, if
we wish to prevent opposition,
we must demonstrate, by our
organization and strength, .its
futility. In 1882 over confi
dence and apathy nearly result
ed in the lass of the State and
again in 1886 front the same
tions . and the rights of the
sovereign . states;, the reckless
appropriation of . the public
funds for illegal and 'unneces
sary purposes, . by which not
only is the surplus left in , the
treasury at the end . of ? Mr,
Cleveland's benign administra
tion entirely swept away and a
deficit created, , but also the
opportunity : of giving ; relief
from the burdens of taxation
is retarded; all admonish us
that our only safety .lies ,io a
return to , Democratic rule in
the country, and its continu
ance at home. Should they
succeed in their aims, we might
expect federal supervisors,
backed by federal bayonets, at
the polls and a re-enactment of
the scenes of 1868 in our own
and our sister states.
Utterly indifferent to the
interests of the Southern, farm
er, all-its legislation has been
at bur expense for the benefit
of other interests and other
sections, and the only hope of
the agricultural South to throw
off the legislative shackles that
have- crippled our prosperity
and bound us to poverty is to
move forward on the lines of
those great priucipl of relief
which the Democrat. 0 party
has steadfastly advocated. To
attain these ends the co-operation
of all patriotic men who
have at heart tbe prosperity of
our agricultural aud industrial
interests and material welfare
of our southern people ia
earnestly asked, and they . are
urged to enroll themselves be
neath tbe Democratic banner.
Let every Democrat realize
the responsibility that - rests
upon him and meet it. There
can by no doubt of a grand
victory is we will do our full
duty. Unceasingly vigilance is
the price which we must pay
for success, but when we con
sider what defeat means to us
the sacrifice is small. Over
estimate rather than under
estimate the enemy and go into
the fight determined to win it.
We jmust prove equal to the
emergency, and when the first
Tuesday in November shall
have passed, victory will be
ours, and white supremacy,
which is synonymous with
Democratic rule, will be' assur
ed to ns for a further term.
By the Committee.

Wa Are Not So Lonesome, Now- !
Our sister town, Washington,
has certainly gone on a boom
in the way of levying specific
taxes, and to a certain degree
it looks like she is about to
overdo the thing. -The last
issue of the Gazette' contained
a long list of enterprises and
professions against which taxes
had been placed, and In some
instences at ,an unreasonable
figure. It charges steamboat
companies, railroad companies
and Telegraph companies' the
very things that the town could
not get along without a tax
for the privilege of doing busi
ness. Then the Undertaker's
business is is so lucrative that
he must pay a tax of $100. But
to cap the climax it has taxed
its newspapers the very en
terprise tbat'do more for bnild-
ing up the town than very
thing else, for which the town
might well show its appfecia
tion by making handsome
yearly donations to them. We
thought Wilson was the only
town in horth Carolina that
appreciated her newspapers so
little as to levy a tax against
them for the privilege of doing
business in the town. Green

1 Eich Without Money ;
r :
Many a man is rich without
money. Thousands of men
with nothing in their pockets
and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich. A man born;
wit,h a good, sound constitu
tion, a good stomaca, a good
heart and- good limbs and a
pretty good headpiece, isrich.
Good bones . are better than
gold ; tongh muscles than siK
ver; and nerves that flash fire
and carry energy to every
function are better than a
houses and laud. It is better
than a landed estate to have
the right kind of a father and
mother. Good breeds and bad
breeds exist among men as
really as among herds and
and "horses. Education may
do much to check evil tenden
cies or to develop good ones ;
but it is a great thing to inherit
the proportion of faculties to
Btart with. -The man is rich
who has a good disposition,
wno is naturally kind, patient.
cheerful, hopful, and who has
a flavor or wit and fuu in his
composition.
The hardest thing to get on
with in this life is a man's
own self. A cross, selfish
fellow, a desopnding aud com
plaining fellow, a timid and
care-burdened man these are
all born deformed on the in
side. They do not limp, but
their thoughts sometimes do.

It is important that the

best suit the masses of the

a ooncn rariner wno was a
little abseut-minded.was.one
aay going into Perth wun a
load of hay. He led the horse
out of the stable, but instead of
backing it into the trams of
wagon, he absent-mindedly led
the animal along the road and
never as much as looked be
hind him till he walked into
the yard, leading the horse,
where the hay was to be de
livered. "Whaur will I back
into ?" he cried to a stableman
standing by. ''Back in what ?"
asked the man. "The hay. you
stupid idiot." "What hay ?
Ye've nae hay, ye daft gowk."
Turning round, to his conster
uation the farmer for the first
time apprehended the fact that
he had left the wagon at home

In his hurry to repair the errer
he started off at a trot and was
half way back to his own farm
before he realized the fact that
he had left the horse behind.
An offset to this is found in
an' incident, conuected with an
old Scotch preacher, known to
many readers of the Chief. On
one occasion when on his way
to preaching he suddenly re
membered that he had left his
sermon at home. Ke imme

his horse to a tree and walked

imagine no truer picture of real
greatness than that of this
grand man standing up before
his countrymen at Chatanooga
and voicing the sentiments
given below. We have some
such examples in this State,
