The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C., as second class mail matter. C. F. WILSON, Klltor and Proprietor. "For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do." Thursday, Aug. i 8th, 1892. Dr. Pat Exum for Governor ! It's the joke of the season and enough to make a man lie down and roll over laughing. And Col. Skinner and Marion Butler well, they may do the talk ing and stir the animals up, but they ain't to be trusted with the plums. Oh, no ! , The Weaverites of the 4th District have nominated W. F. Strowd, of Chatham, for Congress against B. H Bunn, and A. C. Green, of Wake, for elector. John B. Eaves, "Loge" Harriss and other prominent Republicans were there to see that the infant was safely delivered. What excellent, experienced "grannies" they make ! In North Carolina, unless a man is color blind, he ought to hnd it an easv matter to tell a Democrat trom a Republican or a Third party man It has been so heretofore. Shall be changed now? it Judge Walter Q. Gresham denies the report that he would stump the State of Indiana for the Weaverites The report was started by such men as Dr. Freeman, we suppose, who are pursuing the policy of ' claim -every thing-in-sight." They are deceiving precious few people. J. M. Mewborne, who was the Democratic nominee for Congress from this District in 1890, comes out as a Third party man in a card, clos ing with the words, "Huarah for Weaver and the Field." He says he will not stump the State, but will do all the work he can for his party. And this is the man who ran for Congress against Cheatham two years ago ! He was defeated ! Would it not have been iust to our farmers to have saved them the mil lions of dollars they annually pay on account of the Republican tariff tax on bagging and ties ? The Demo cratic House asked the Republican Senate to aid in saving this large sum to the Southern farmers, but the Senate refused, and hence an unjust Republican tax on bagging and ties takes millions out of the pockets of our farmers every year. State Chronicle. Mr. Donnell Gilliam's speech before our Campaign Club last Thursday night was the best political argument ever heard heie. It was clear-cut, logical, convincing and a presentation of facts undeniably unanswerable. Next week we purpose printing a full synopsis of it, as also Senator Carlisle's masterly speech in the Senate, and the speech of Mr. F. A oodard, at Snow Hill, and Mr. C- B. Aycock here. They will be worth preserving. The Weaverites of Chatham de clare in favor of electing "all county officers direcdy by the people." This means they want to do away with the present system of county government When this is done many of the peo ple of Eastern North Carolina will have negro Justices of the Peace, negro county commissioners and negro Superintendents of Public Instruction. White men of North Carolina will never permit a set of men with such declarations of prin ciples to come into control of the State. Republicans dominated and con trolled the Third Party convention in Raleigh. When Col. Skinner de clared that if he was the candidate and the Republicans put up a State ticket, endangering the safety of white supremacy in the State, he would withdraw from the race, they howled him down, and succeeded in forcing him from the ticket. We understand Col. Skinner said while here yesterday that this was true ; and further : that his position was en dorsed by all members of the Con vention who had heretofore been Democrats. The Republicans are determined to give North Carolina to Harrison and win the State for themselves. Will they do it ? Wilson county people formerly held delegated county conventions. Yielding to a desire of the people for a change, and to do away with all idea of unfairness, for four years pri mary elections have been held. They have given satisfaction. The free will of the people was best expressed in a primary and so it has gone on. Now the Weaverites hold a delegated convention. Their leaders were loudest in crying out against this unfair method. They denounced it to stifle the free will and choice of the people. Do they resort to such methods now methods they have bitterly denounced because they want to stifle and strangle the will of their followers and ride over them rough shod ? Is that it ? Perhaps Dr. Freeman can tell us. JUDGE CONNOR. The Wilson bar unanimously rec ommend Judge Connor as the suc cessor of J.udge Davis on the Su preme Court bench and in this rec ommendation the people throughout this section of the State heartily join. As the Supreme Court is not now I in session and will not convene again before the latter part of September, and as the successor of Judge Davis will have to be, elected by the people j in November, we had hoped that the : Governor would take counsel with those who are in close touch with the people, and wait until, through their convention, he had learned their will. We learn that he has, however, concluded to exercise the authority given him bv the constitution, and ! in advance of any party action, make an appointment early next week. This is his right, and in its exercise we doubt not he will honestly endeavor , I 01 the 1 to promote the best interest State. THK WILSON DEMOCRATS U 1 r.KKl FIED. The Democracy of Wilson county feels better to-day than for some time. It has been claimed that the Weaverites had the county and the Democrats would hold slim primaries last Saturday. The result proves the untruthfulness of this claim. Nearly 1,000 Democrats more than usual ly participate in a primary election turned out. The Democrats of Wil son were aroused and they deter mined that they would show their traducers and slanderers where they stood. We are proud of them ! They are always right at the right time, and we know they will not at this time fail to stand by the party that represents the principles which means to them the safety of life, property and citizenship The Demo crats did well ! The Weaverites are on the run, and the number in this county is growing smaller every day. HE SHALL HAVE IT! Dr. H. F. Freeman has sent the editor of The Advance two lengthy communications, which he asks us to publish. He claims that we have misrepresented him and wants to set himself right. "We do not acknowl edge the justness of his claim, and cannot see that his lengthy personal attack upon this editor vindicates himself. The truth of the matter is, The Advance criticised Dr. Free man justly and fairly, and will con tinue to do so as occasion arises. And it does not nroDOse to be used as a vehicle for him to cart his willful mis representations, vague sophistries, and personal attacks, to the door of the good people of this county. Dr. Freeman shalf have a hearing ! Oh, yes ! As leader of the Third Party in this county he shall have such a hearing before this campaign is end ed as will make him regret the day he ever asked it at our hands ! W KONG AGAIN, AS LSI A I The Kinston Free Press corrects and error into which we had fallen. We thought it was our old friend JohnE. Woonard who was nominat ed lor Congress, but it is Mr. F. A. Woodard. We see that Mr. J. E. Woodard has been made chairman ol the Democratic Club of Wilson. It is an excellent selection. Wil mington Messenger- Col. Jno. F. Bryton is President oi the Wilson Democratic Club, and The Advance believes that a wise selection. Mr. Woodard, how ever, is doing valuable service in the cause and deserves the credit he will receive.

(SPECIAL cor. the advance.) Washington, Aug. 7th, '92. Both Democratic and Republican political headquarters in this city are scenes of great activity just now. Wkc arp hmsv sending out camDaien documents. There are demands for 250,000 copies of Senator Carlisle's tariff speech already in, and more expected. Speeches of other states- men bearing on tarift are also wanted throughout the country. There is an unprecedented call for Henry George's book "Protection or Free Trade." J. C. L. Harris has been here dur ing the week trying to get adminis tration influence to bolster up the plan originated by himself, Dr. Mott and Judge Russell, which is to put no Republican ticket in the field, and thus encourage the Third party tomfoolery. They think it the best u Tk,v4 pulley LU 1111 1 U11UC1 lilt liiau pen t. jr banner, foment that schism, and thus open the way lor Republican supre macy in our State. I do not think Mr. Logan Harris received all the encouragement he wanted, I judge, from what a prominent Republican official with whom he had a confer ence told me to-dav. The leaders here know that a Southern Demo crat is right hard to turn, that he has learned a few things from sad experience, and that the heresy which him run the risk oi a return ot Ke publican domination in his section must have more backbone than this Third party foolishness has, or ever will have. There seems to be a feel ing among the panjandrums here, that the Eaves' idea of a straight out Republican ticket is a good one, and that when the voting time comes it wiU be Democrat vs. Republican, and no side show will come into the ting ! And, while I admire the usual astute ness of Harris, Mott and Russell, I reckon the ides of November will prove that the panjandrums here, and Eaves, are right. Senator Ransom will make his headquarters in New York City for the present, where he now is, from which point he will direct the cam paign throughout a large portion of the South, gfivine especial attention to North Carolina. I understand that ex-Secretary Whitney has ex pressed the warmest admiration for our senior Senator's fine executive ability and power to control men. Senator Ransom has always been in the confidence of Mr. Cleveland. He told me, when the Hill boom, so called, was at its heigfht in North Carolina, that Cleveland's popularity, based on his high character and sterling integrity, was almost phe nomenal throughout this entire Union and that it was never safe to make predictious in favor of any other can didate. Your recent editorial praise ot him was ricnly deserved A well informed Democrat here. who holds a position of influence, says: 1 he State loses one 01 its best men in the death of Hon. J. J Davis. He deserves to rank with her greatest and purest sons. I hope however, that his seat will be filled by Judge Connor, ol Wilson, than whom there are few abler lawyers or purer men." This Democrat knows Judge Connor well, and I beg leave to cordially endorse his judgment. Air. rioran, ol Iredell, wno was appointed through the influence of Hon. John S. Henderson, has been promoted in the Treasury Depart ment to a higher position The Republicans here are doing a great deal of bragging about the way "in which the Farmers Alliance crowd treated Elias Carr at Greensboro That was verbiage of a Republican ex-Congressman to me yesterday Their only hope of success in North Carolina evidently lies in the defalca tion of these misguided men who will be among the first to repent when they have helped place a Republican Covernor at Raleigh and negro dep uties all over the State. They wil get no sympathy then, however. Congressman Grady and his wile and a party of North Carolinians have returned from a delightful trip to VVatkms Glen, Niagra halls, Buf falo and Toronto. A member of the party says : "We took the train at .l n 1 i tne rennsyivama aepot at 7:10 a. m By sunset we reached Watkins Glen one ol the most picturesque spots ever imagined. from the top ol Glen Mountain one has- a magnifi cent view of Seneca Lake and the adjacent country, which rises in graceful undulations until a ridge ol high hills meets the sky. The Glen is a gorge through which a crysta stream leaps and foams, ' forming thousands of waterfalls. This stream has worn its way through shale, lime stone and sandstone until great prec ipices tower above it varying in height from one to five hundred feet. Next day we reached Niagara Falls. I had pictured this great natural wonder in my mind's eye from ear liest childhood and, for once, my ideal was not shattered. On deck of the Maid of the Mist I saw it. Early in the morning, by the light of the dawn, 1 saw it, while rainbows threw their iris tinted arcs across the bil lowy clouds of spray that rose from the depth of the rushing waters of the American Falls, while one mighty arch ol prismatic colors spanned the horseshoe falls on the Canadian side. I saw it from a carriage on Suspen sion Bridge, from the Canadian shore, and stood, clad in wattrprool, under the Falls itself and from every point of view it was Niagara beautiful, sublime, inimitable, indescribable! Pen of writer, pencil of artist, tongue of of orator must fail in any attempt to describe this "Thunder ol the Wa ters," the Indian meaning of the Niagara. It must be seen to be ap preciated and having been seen once, it remains in Memory's picture gal lery forever as the most beautiful and most imposing of natural objects. From Niagara we sailed up Lake Ontario to Toronto which we found to be quite as large and nearly as handsome a city as Washington. The University of Toronto, the Old and New Parliament Buildings, Os- borne Hall, Victoria College and St. James' Cathedral were the main points of interest. We then re-crossed Lake Ontario, and took the train to Buftalo. Here we found a beauti ful city of about 278,000 inhabitants. We asked several about Cleveland's popularity and they all agreed that the "Old Man" would certainly car ry all that section by a big majority. We crossed and recrossed Lake Erie in a stift gale, but remained on deck in spite of the waves that drenched us trom head to loot. The " trip was worth twice the money charged." While in Toronto Mr. Grady pur chased a nice suit of clothes lor $22 and a number of other articles 01 clothing for his family. He says he is going to stump his district in this suit and give his constituents an ob ject lesson on the effects ol the Mc- Kinley bill. Tuesday the Society of American Florists meets in this city. Strange to say, the South, the native Land of Flowers, is not represented among the nine hundred florists expected. The Evening Star of this city has secured the services of Col. Fred Olds as its Raleigh correspondent. He has a very interesting and newsy letter in Saturday's issue. The Post has also secured the services of a Ral eigh correspondent who, I think is J. C. L. Harris, Esq. There is a long and able resume of the situation in our State in Sunday's Post and infer Mr. J. C. L. Harris wrote it. He tried to be independent, but his ear marks" show to some of his friends who have been in the habit of reading his letters in the New York Times. FOR THE SUPREME COURT BENCH Judge H. G. Connor the Man I or the Place What is Said About Him. We have letters authorizing us to state that the bar of Johnson county, the Goldsboro bar. and the bar of Louisburg have endorsed Judge Con nor for the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. The bar of Goldsboro has also passed resolutions endors- Judge Connor. State Chronicle. The Journal does not care to champion any man's claims to the seat on the Supreme Court bench made vacant by the death of the lamented Davis, but we take occa sion to express our high admiration of Judge Connor, as a man, a Demo crat, a lawyer and a Christian gentle man. He would be an ornament to the Supreme Court of North Caroli na. Newbern Journal. HON. H. G. CONNOR We publish to-day the resolutions of the Goldsboro Bar endorsing Judge Connor for appointment to the place made vacant on the Supreme Court bench by the death of the lamented Justice Davis. The Areus desires to add its warmest endorsement to the resolu tions of the Bar. Tudee Connor is known to us all as eminently qualified for the posi tion. As citizen, lawyer and Judge he has loner had and deserved the respect and confidence of all our peo pie. We have long regarded him as an ornament to the Superior Court bench, and we trust Gov. Holt will appoint him to the Supreme Court, where we have no doubt he would prove as useful as he has in the lower court. No mistake would be made in pro moting Judge Connor. Goldsboro Argus. WOOOARD OR CHEATHAM ? Which Will Ton Choose, the White or the Negro ? Man The Second District in its present form, with such a man as Fred. Woodard to lead, can easily be re deemed and placed in the Democratic column. There is but one thing which can defeat the Democratic ticket and re-elect Cheatham , and that is the Third party. If the white men and former Democrats of the District who now adhere to the Third party, continue in that party and vote for the nominee, Mr. Thome, then the result will be Cheatham's re-elec tion, unfess the Democratic party should develop strength enough to defeat both the other parties. The Third party leaders knew when they nominated Mr. Thorne that he did not stand the ghost ot a chance lor election and they know now that he cannot be elected and that in voting for him they are simply helping to elect Cheatham, there may be some ignorant adherents of the party who tninic ne can be elected, but Mr, T1 . . . i norne Knows, ana so does every man ol ordinary intelligence, that it is not possible and never was. Now then, these men talk loudly of re form ; they profess to be patriots and to love their State. If so, let them abandon a race, hopeless from the beginning, and like true patriots and white men support Woodard for Congress. Talk is cheap. Action is what we want. Why talk of pa triotism, love of State wives and little ones, as some of the Third party do so patly, and then vote against the very best interests of their State and all that is dear to them ? Can persistency in such a cause be at tributed to any other than the princi ple of rule or ruin ? There is not a Third party man in the District who does not know that their interests and the interests of the country would be as safe in the hands of Woodard as Thorne? We have known Mr. Thorne for many years and have always esteemed him, and it is hard for us to believe that at this late day, after having so long fought in the ranks of Democracy, he will allow himself to be made a cat's paw of, to pull Republican chestnuts out of the fire. There are practically but two candidates in the Second District and every man who votes will practi cally vote for Woodard or Cheat ham. This fact is so apparent that no sensible man will risk his reputa tion by denying it. Now we simply ask the question, which do you pre fer ? If you would rather see Cheat ham elected than Woodard, vote for Thorne. But the more manly course would be to come out like men and .

Disorder and Many Exciting: Scenes A Fall State Ticket Put Forth. The Third Party State Convention was called to order by W. R. Lind say in Metropolitan Hall in Raleigh, j Tuesday at 1 2 o clock, tie called Marion Butler to the Chair, who made a speech. 357 delegates were present. 16 counties were not rep resented at all. It was said that one third the delegates were Republicans. The Vance county delegation was composed entiiely of negroes. At 2 o'clock the Convention adjourned to wait for the report of committees on permanent organization and platform. It was 3:30 o'clock when Butler rapped the convention to order. The committee on permanent organization reported in favor of the temporary officers, with J. H. Lane and R. B. Kinzie as assistant secretaries. On this report Butler made more remarks thanking the convention for the addi tional mark of confidence. He said years had been spent in planning and organizing and to-day the conven tion was here to art. Tie then sud mittcd the upu.l of tiio committee on the platform of which he is chair man. There was applause for each plank, particularly on demanding 6 per cent, interest and taxation of all rail ways and endorsing the Omaha plat form. There was demonstration as Marion Butler read the last plank. The convention, by a rising vote and amid vociferous cheers, adopted the platform unanimously. It then proceeded to select a can didate for Governor. W. P. Exum, of Wayne, ploced in nomination Har ry Skinner. There was a regular scramble to endorse Skinner, some of the speak ers saying the Third party movement must not be confined to farmers and prohibit membership to lawyers and other professional men. The editor of the Vance Farmer spoke of Skinner as Polk's successor, and predicted for him the most bril liant and successful campaign on record. Skinner was then nominated by acclamation and Chairman Butler said : "I declare Harry Skinner the next Governor of North Carolina," and, as Skinner took the platform re peated the words, while there was great demonstration. Skinner said the nomination was a surprise, as he expected to make a fight, not for position, but for princi ple, but that the wave in his favor was irresistible. He spoke of himself as a pioneer on economic questions and said the Democrats were bound by chains of gold to Wall street. He had registered a promise to vote against Cleveland and expected to do this, and yet remain in the Demo cratic party, but the party leaders had chosen to make Cleveland a test for Democracy, and this read him out of the party. It had read out all men in this convention. He said he did not desire office, and before he ac cepted this position he wanted to say that if he found that the Republican party was, by its conspiracy, about to divide the white people ot North Carolina, he must then be at liberty to take his stand for white people. Unless he was given this liberty and given it freely he must decline the nomination If it was so given he would accept. z A delegate then moved that Col. Skinner be called back and made to explain what party he would support if he did not vote for Weaver. This statement of Skinner's was a bomb shell. It threw the convention in a constant uproar. Butler was wild with excitement and left the chair. Delegates arose in wra'th, and some of them spoke ol themselves as clod hoppers and hayseeds, but swore they did not want to sell out. They wanted a People's man. They shouted that they wanted a farmer put up. They wanted no uncertain sound. There was thrust after thrust at Skinner. The delegates declared they had come here to put up a straight ticket ; that this party was made up of Republicans and Demo crats. One delegate stepped for ward and said he had it from Col. Skinnner that the latter was in the hands of the convention and of the executive committee for all time to come. At this announcement there was a great outburst and calls for Skinner. Nathaniel Macon shouted at Skin ner : "If the Republican party puts a ticket in the field will you stay with us?" Skinner said lie was not seeker after this nomination and there was misconception of his remark. There was a necessity for the preservation of home government. That question was above that of financial reform. What he had said was that if the Re publicans threatened a division of of the white men of North Carolina in earnest, not a Republican ticket put up under Democratic influences, he felt that he ought not to lead the Third Party. One delegate asked if the contest was between Eaves and Carr, who would Skinner support ?" Skinner said, "I would support Carr." This raised a remarkable stir. That there was a split was evident. One delegate shouted : "Nominations for Governor are in order." There were shouts of "take his name down." A motion to withdraw his name was de clared out of order by the chairman. Dr. Exum said he was deeply grieved to see how dissatisfied the ' convention was with Skinner. He then moved that the vote by which ! Skinner was declared nominated be 1 reconsidered, and twenty-five men seconded this in a breath. There was another great clamor. One dele gate moved to adjourn until 8 o'clock. It was tabled. There was renewed confusion. Skinner suddenly stepped to the front and whispered to chairman Butler. Skinner then said he had the misfortune always to cause rows. He declared he was the pioneer in hnancial retorm and weaver and fields and the Con ( sionai ticket but would gres- ho longer ( venti0n. He withdrew it, saying, "I j " . . Will Support the man yOU nominate tO-day." A T Dalhv said if Skinner would make renewed pledges he would fa-! vor him. Butler said he was authorized to saw that Skinner had withdrawn from ' the ticket, but if his name was again put up he would support all Butler then declared that there would be no Republican State ticket, hence no necessity to take down the Third Party State ticket. Several delegates shouted : "All want to know what sort of a man we have." T. B. Long replied : "We have been fooled and we have richly de served it. I have always longed that a farmer and a Third Party man be put up." He asked permission to withdraw his second Of Skinner's nomination. A delegate shouted, "Skinnei is largely responsible for the state of affairs to-day. Let us down him." To this came the responses "put him down ; sit on him." A delegate begged the convention to adjourn so as to cool off. Nathaniel Macon said Skinner had covered the ground and that if he he thought Skinner would surrender this convention he would cut his throat with his old knife. Many delegates begged the con vention to adjourn, saying that noth ing could be done at this stage of the proceedings. Elias Carr and F M Simmons were seen in the gallery smiling at a scene unprecedented in the historv of the conventions of North Carolina. One farmer protested against ad journment, saying he favored making "Brother Worth the next Governor of North Carolina. At this there was applause. A motion to adjourn until 8 o'clock was adopted. While this was being voted on J. C. L. Harris, Republican, proposed a resolution in which he quoted T. B. Long as pledging Skin ner to abide by the directions of the convention, the latter to assume all responsibility. At 8:15 o'clock the convention re sumed its session. A. J. Dalby, on behalf of the State Executive com mittee, said it had had a consultation and asked the committee to start with the nomination of the Secretary ol State and that thus everything would be set right and no more mistakes like Skinner's nomination would be made. A delegate moved that each can didate come before the convention before the nomination and definitely state his position. This was unani mously adopted. A Mecklenburg delegate said the convention wished all nominees to take off all their old political clothes and burn the bridges behind them. (Applause.) The convention then proceeded to the nomination of the State ticket. There were various candidates for all the offices, and amid much uproar and confusion the following ticket was selected : Secretary of State, Dr. L N. Durham, of Cleveland ; for Audi tor, Thomas B. Long, of Buncombe ; for Attorney General, R. H. Lyon, of Bladen : for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Rev. T. W. Woody, of Guilford College ; for Treasurer, W. H. Worth ; for Asso ciate Justice, W. A. Guthrie, of Durham ; for Judge of the 12th Dis trict, W. H. Malone, of Buncombe for Electors at large, Marion Butler and Harry Skinner by acclamation. The choice bit of work for the evening was taken uothe nomina tion for Governor. E. N. Hardy, of Wayne, present ed the nume of Dr. W. P. Exum, of Wayne, and another the name of James M. Mewborne, of Lenoir. W H. Worth was boomed, but his name was withdrawn. Dr. Exum said he stood by the people, with the people and for the people, and would be there until the tight was over. He was for the Omaha platform without the crossing of a 1 or dotting of an I. Applause The result of the ballot was : Exum 203 ; mewDorne, 220. At tnis an nouncement there was great cheering and the nomination made unanimous. of Exum was For Lieutenant Governor there was an attempt to nominate Mewborne by acclamation. Macon protested, sav ing the man ought to be from the West. Mewborne's name was with drawn. The names of V. N. Sea well, of Moore, R. A. Cobb, of Burke, R. Z. Linney, of Alexander, and J. S. Peace, of Granville, weie put before the convention. The friends of Linney withdrew his name. The result of the ballot was : Cobo, 328 ; Seawell, 78 ; Peace, 83.

J. C. Ayer & Co. Lowell, Mass. Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. G ABSOLUTELY PL' THK FOURTH PARTY. Here is the Party For Von, if the Oilier Don't Suit, and it will "Fill the Bill." The following from a Texas paper is going the rounds of the press and we publish it by request : Editor Courier : Being an old and astute politician and having care fully studied and analyzed the Demo cratic, Republican and Third Party political platforms and finding them all rotten and corrupt to the core, of evil and only evil tendencies, calcu lated in their nature, design and pur pose to bring disaster, ruin, poverty and destruction to the masses, and believing there is yet hope of averting the disastrous ruin that threatens our country by organizing a fourth poli tical party similar and yet dissimilar to either of the aforesaid parties ; similar to some of the foregoing, as it is to be made up entirely of the rag tag, bob-tail, dissatisfied, disaffected, grumbling, growling, whining mem bers of other political parties ; and dissimilar as no man is allowed to become a member of this party for our trade or influence. I hereby call a mass meeting of such men as ahove described to meet in John Barbee's opera hall on the night of May 21, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, for the purpose-of organizing and fully equipping for the war of this fourth political party. When fully organized we will elect by ballot a sufficient number of men to fully, secretly, stealthily and sneakingly canvass the entire county of Hamilton. It shall be the duty of canvassers to lie on, misrepresent, and throw their nasty filth and slime, and even puke on all other political organizations. I hereby notify all interested parties that no one shall hold office in or even become a mem ber of this party until he fully en dorses and subscribes to the following oath : "I, A. B., in the presence of these, my digruntlek brethren, do most sincerely promise and swear that old Jim Hogg is personally and individu ally responsible for the drouths, cy clones, hail storms, short crops and low prices of farm products in the State of 1 exas ; if Clark is elected Governor he will have the country in a worse fix than Hogg has, for I do solemuly swear that Clark is a bigger liar and a smarter man than Hogg. "I furthermore do solemnly promise and swear that 1 will not, under any circumstances whatever, vote for any man for any office who can read and write or whose state and county taxes amount to more than two dollars a year. "I do furthermore most solemnly and sincerely swear by all that is good and bad, with all the devil and vim there is in me, that I do honest ly and sincerely believe that the property accumulated by the hard licks, industry and econmoy of our wealthiest men ought to be divided equally between the lazy, disgruntled members of this party, and I further more swear that I will not be satisfied until this is done. I furthermore tip toe and rock back on my dew-claws and most solemnly, sincerely, willing ly and anxiously promise and swear that I will never plant more than a half crop of anything and will under no circumstances half work that, and furthermore swear that I will do all I can to keep my neighbors from working theirs or paying their debts, and to cap the climax, I do with all the earnestness of my soul, from the bottom of my heart, sincerely promise and swear that I will take my wife's chickens, butter and eggs to town and trade for whiskey, get big drunk and talk politics." Believing a party made up of the above mentioned material would revolutionize the whole country and be a good thing, I urge all who can conscientiously take the above oath to be prompt in meeting at the above time and place.

H.Robbins, Esq., former chairman of the county Republican Executive Committee, had gone to the Third Party and resigned his office and several others of the committee had done likewise and the legality of the call for this meeting , was in doubt. It was finally decided to turn it into a mass meeting. When the mass meeting got to work a County Execu tive Committee and delegates to the State Convention wen- elected. The question of maintaining a county ticket or of endorsing the Democra tic or Third Party ticket was postpon ed to a meeting to, be held at a later dayr. The white Republicans seem to have gone to the Third Partv al most if not quite en masse. We sup pose those who hav e remaimed true to the old party will be governed in toeir actions by instructions of the Slate Executive Committee. X. X. X. S. it A i Ol. A SA I N;s.
