The man who thinks Weaver will
be the next President certainly has
very vague ideas in his head and
can't foresee at all. Still there are a
few who have just small knowledge
enough to believe it. some in our
county, but they are excusable. They
don't know that if all the electors
(197) he has out were elected he
would then like 26 of getting in,
Harnett white men do you want
the Republicans to manage your
county government ? We think the
sound echoes back to us no. If you
don't, vote the Democratic ticket.
We have men nominated whoso po
litical record is clean and pure, whose
character cannot be impeached, men
who will serve 3'ou in every capacity
as well horbctter than the 3rd party
men or Republicans, men whom you
have tried nd found them right.

S' OTHO WILSON WEITES A
LETTER-
F. M. Simmon, Chai.man. Raleigh,
N- C. . .. ":
Sir,:- A copy of the Sla.e Chroni
clc of the 19i U inst., containing two
letters and a nenfational wii'jsnp by
j-ou with reference t a so called so-i-ret
nolitical society, of" which I am
said to be the official head, has been
handed inc.
I As vou have used the machines:
of the party of which you are the
official head, together with the Dcin-
of -.rati r: nreas of I he Sta C and the na-
tinn for its circulation. I hope that I
your -jense of fair play will give "the
same prominence and wide circular
tion to this communication. Justice!
demands it. ....... .-
If there is in North Carolina a se
cret political society known as "Gid
eon's Band," or any-other name, or if
there ha been a political society
winch controls, or has tried to con
trol the people, or policy of any po
litical party, other than the councils
of the patty itself, I am in ignorance
of its existence.
Very Tr ul',
S. Orno Wilson.
Mr. Editor; At the request of
Mr. S. Olho Wilson, I desire through
the medium of the press to: lay be
fore the people of North Carolin the
above letter, which I think contains
the strongest possible proof of the
charge he thertin essays to answer.
It will bo observed lie does not deny
the statements made by Messrs.
Reed and Bell, and makes ihz sin
gle point that the "Band" is not a
political society. In other words,
summoned to the bar of public opin
ion, his plea is what is known amon
the lawyers as a plea by way" of "con
fession and avoidance," He admits
by rot denying (under circumstances
which imperatively call for denial if
one had been intended) the existence
in North Carolina of the Gi ieou's
Band," He admita thereby that
Messrs. Reed and Bell have correct
described the machinery by which it
works, to-wit: Chiefs, sub-chiefs.
Ihirly select men in each county and
300 in each Congressional district,
"who can be relied on in all meet
ings." He admits thereby that these
men are bound by oath, under severe
penalties, to execute "all orders em
anating from their superiors;" he ad
mits that he initiated Reed and made
Iiim "Chief" in the Ninth Congress-
ional district; he admits thereby
that he made overtures to Bell to
join and revealed to him the secrets
of the "Band;" he admits that he de
clared t!:e purpose of the Band to re
to promote the "Reform movement."
But he says the "Ba'id" is not a po
litical society.
I leave it to the intelligent people
of the St-'to if this is not a fair inter
pretation, indeed the only admiss
able interpretation of his letter.
These lac'.s being admitted are prov
en, the people will not accept Mr,
Wilson's conclusion as to whether
they constitute a political society, es
pecially when it is well known that
he and some of his followers have
very eccentric notions about what is
political. They will take the facts
and decide for themselves, and thee
facts, admitted, as I have shown, by
Mr. Wilson, show a well defined po.
iitical organization.
What did Mr. Wilson mean when
he told Mr. Bell the object uf the
band was to promote the "reform
movemeut!" Did he refer to the
platform of principles adopted at
Cincinnati in 1891, which with slight
amendments, were afterwards incor.
porated in the St. Louis platform and
then adpted at Omaha? What
could he have meant if not .this?
Bell so understood him, for . he re
p!ied the scheme was dangerous and
would destroy the alliance and defeat
the-reform proposed. Is there any
doubt about what is known as the
"reform movement" hein a political
movement? Docs it not seek to
have cortain well defined policies ens
acted into law, and where in conflict
therewith to have the fundamental
law changed ?
There seems to be considerable
obtuseness on the part ot some peo
pie in this State as to 'what consti
tutes political action, but it is hard
to be believed any can be found so
dull as not to see that what was pop
ularly known as tho reform move
ment was then a political movo. and
has continued up to the present time
to be one.
; If Mes3is. Reed and Bell's letters
left any doubt (and I think they did
! not) in the minds of our people
about the actual existence here of a
secret political society, Mr. Wilsons
letter finally removes that doubt.
The existence of "Gideon's Ba;d"
in this State, and tho stitemenU cf
Messrs. Reed and Bell in reference
thereto not being denied, ilia people j
will, cf cour32, from their upia'.oa of j
its character and objects from the
ti e statements of these gentlemen.
If the order is political it is unlaw
ful; if the order 13 not political, but
merely intended tr control and direct
the deliberations of tl;c alliance, theu
it is an outrage npoa the members oT
the alliance-who have not -been1 ad
mitted to its secrets, that a secret
."cabal" -.should have been formed
within their order to c'andcstinely
control its councils.

THE ''REFAWK" CANDIDATE
-FOE CONGRESS.
The candidate for Congress of the
party in the third district i3 F, D.
Koonce of Onslow, lie is a great
adv cate of RefawmM and is calling
upon Reforms to support him again3l
Hon. B, F, Grady who is a heal Re
former and e'-joys the confidence of
all who know him. In 1800, Mr.
Koonce announced himself as a can
didate for State Senator on the Al
liance platform,: Cv. Thompson, who
is now a elector for Weaver, wrote on
the '1 Tlh of Oct. to the Newberne
Journal as follows :
"Frank D. Koonce, nondescript
candidate for the Senate in the 9th
district lias no connection with the
Alliance and does not posses the con
fidence of the Alliance people of On
slow: and further. Mr. Koonce has
not signed the Alliance demands."
This shows what Mr. Thompson
thought of llr. Koonce. What did
the Alliance at the home of Mr.
Koonce think of him ? Happily they
have given the public an estimate of
Mr. Koonce. . On the loth of October
Riehlan's Alliance adopted for pub
lication the following :
"Waereas, it comes to our know
ledge that F. -D. Koonce, of Rich
lands. N. C, has declared in his can
vass for the Senate that he is "with
the Alliance and- of the Alliance."
and that he claims the support in his
candidacy of the Alliance voters in
Onslow, therefore,
Resolved, TV. at we make it known
to. the public tiiat the said Frank D.
Kooi.ce has no connection with Rich
lands Alliance, No. 1977, and cans
not have by reason of his profession
of the law, that we have no confidence
in him, or m his profession of love
for our Order; but that, on the con
trary, from our intimate knowledge
of his past political life and of his
personal character, we consider him
a shrewd mislcade'r of the unwary for
his personal gain."
Can the fanners of North Carolina
ex pent to get Reform ty defeating
honest Benjamin Giady, a .true blue
Alliaueera.v:, and vot ng for Koonce
of whom Richland Al'.i'mce officially
said : "We consider him a shrewd
misleader of the unwary for his per
sonal (ain ?
Let us use a little common-sense
in this campaign. Loud profession
of devotion to tho cause of Reform,
"shrewd misleaders" of the people
"for personal gai i" cannot make
them worthy of the support of good
men ho desire Reform, People are
putting too mu.-h oontidence in men
who are good at promising. If they
rust such men, the' will destroy the
coming of the relief needed by our
people. ortb Carolinian.
The Republican leaders are trying
to play a trick on us now They tell
the t. p. that there is no chance lor
Weayer in this fight so you con e
and vote for Harrison with 113 and
we will go with your men in the coun
ty alFairs. Alliauccmen and white
men of the county, are you goiug to let
them in arch you right in the Repub
lican camp that way? . Young men
who have always been in the Demos
cratic ranks, and always helped us
fight Republicanism in cvry form
can see now. what we have been tell
ing you all tho time that it was a
Republican scheme. Why they prom
ised you they would not get out a
