At the meeting of the association
held in the city of Washington,!).
C, beginning February 22nd, 1893,
I was instructed to call another spe
cial meeting at Chicago sometime in
September. In conformity with such
instruction I hereby name Monday,
September 4, 1893, as the date of
said meeting. OwinEr to the fact that
Chicago may be reasonably expected
to be crowded at that time, and that
it might be difficult, without pre
vious arrangement to secure suitable
accommodations for our members at
reasonable rates, I have taken the
responsibility to make arrangements
with the proprietors of the Louisana
hotel, northeast corner 71st street
and Seipp avenue. This location is
only two blocks from the World's
ran grounds, so that members can
visit the great fair without submit
ting to the jostling or the annoyance
of travel in the crowded cars. The
hotel is large and airy, and better
than all, it is in the hands of our
riends. The proprietors will pro
vide ua a hall suitably seated and
supplied with tables for our meet
ings, and will give reform editors
and their families reduced rates.
The regular rates for rooms are from
$1 a day per person upwards, ac
cording to location, size of room,
and other conveniences. Children 8
to 12 years old will be charged half
rates. A reduction of 25 per cent,
is offered to members of our associ
ation and their families. This does
not include board. Meals at the reg
ular hotel resturant are 50 cents.
Good meals can be obtained at other
restaurants near at hand at 25 cents.
Xo reduction is offered on meals.
It is expressly stipulated that, in
order to be certain of accommoda
tions, members of the association
shall notify Capt. C. A. Power, the
agent of the hotel, not latek than
august 15, of the amount and kind
of room desired in order that it may
be reserved. Members will readily
see the necessity of thjs. The pro
prietor cannot be expected to with
hold accommodations from other
customers for our benefit unless we
engage them in advance. Further
more it is expressly stipulated that
those engaging rooms shall be there
on the oay appointed, for the rooms
will not be longer reserved.
It is earnestly hoped that all edi
tors of ihe reform papers will ar
range to attend this meeting, as we
desire a eeneral consultation respect-
ino- onr future work. It is also
honed that all will be able to remain
lona- enousrh to visit the great fair
and get at least, a general idea of
this marvelous exhibit.

favor of the repeal of the Sherman
law and of such further financial
legislation as the national Demo
cratic platform suggests the coin
age of silver upon some such basis as
will insure its continued circulation
upon a parity with gold. We caum . t
but Ihink, in view of recent events,
that either the free coinage of silver
or the continued operation of the
Sherman law will defeat tlie very
object the silver men have in view.
And again, while nothing could pos
sibly be further from the purpose of
this patriotic and illustrious citizen,
we clearly foresee that the general
tenor of his letter will greatly em
bolden the Hum party uud add im
mensely to its strength. In view of
the certainty of a combination next
year between the Kepublicaus and
1 opiums, this is to be particularly
deplored, for at best, the contest in
Torth Carolina is to be close and
doubtful, the d sappointments fol
lowing the accession to power of a
party which has been out, rendering
the maintainance of its position, in
the rlrst election thereafter, always
uncertain, It would be idle to deny
tnat Senator Vance's public and de
liberate avowal of sympathy with the
financial policy of the Farmers' Alli
ance complicates the situation im
measurably.
In reply to the above and to fully
state his reasons Senator Vance
writes the following letter addressed
pointedly to Mr. Caldwell himself,
Go.miskoox, )
Near Black Mountain, X. C,
July, 27, 1S93. S
J. P. Caldwell, Esq.:
Dear Sir: I take no exception to
your comment on my recent letter to
the Mecklenburg County Alliance,
beyond the fact that you authorita
tively designate me as differing
from my party, and misrepresent
my words with the letter before you.
The charge that a Democrat is at
variance with his party, who refuses
to favor the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law, depends for its
truth on what the party laid down in
its platform at Chicago, if promises
and pledges amount to anything.
Let us see! The Chicago platform
demands inter alios, the repeal of
the Sherman law, as a cowardly
makeshift, an obstruction to the free
coinage of silver, &c. The obvious
meaning of this is, if that law w as
out of the way we could have free
coinage (I quote from memory,
having no copy of the platform be
fore me.) That is one of the things
I propose to put in place of the Sher
man law; and I propose to vote
against its repeal unless that be
done. If my party is opposed to
that, then its utterances at Chicago
were insincere and intended to de
ceive; if it was sincere, then I am
trying to stand on the platform.
Again, it pledges the party to the
use of both golo and silver, on equal
terms, without discrimination against
either as to coinage, tteetera. Now,
if we cease to coin one and refuse to
tender it in payment even of obliga
tions which by the contract are pay
able therein, we do discriminate
against that metal in coinage and
virtually cease to use it. In oppos
ing the repeal of the Sherman law
without some substitute preserving
the use and coinage of silver, I am
squarely with the party and those
who favor unconditional repeal are
not with it but are violating its so-
omn pledges.
Again, the platform pledges the
party to such legislation as snail
maintain the party between gold and
silver, so that a gold dollar and a sil
ver dollar shall bo interchangeable
and one as good as the other. Now,
in objecting to the repeal ot the only
law on our statute books which binds
us to the use of silver at all, without
some substitute or conditions tend
ing to make good the promises of
the platform, no honest man can
doubt that I am with and not against
the party which made those promises.
The only possible way to avoid this
conclusion is to assume either that
those promises were fraudulent and
not binding, or that the party has
since changed its position and now
favors abandoning silver, altogether,
and of neither of these propositions
is there any proof acceptable to me
The pledges of the platform are joint
and not separable on tne suoject or
silver money
You cannot select one, the repeal
of the Sherman law for example,
and Dronose to redeem it alone and
denounce those who insist on the
fulfillment of all, as untrue to the
party or differing from it. Nor will
men of common sense who are loyal
to the purpose they profess surrender
the advantages ot their position
The law now m existence can be
kept thus by the non-concurrence of
either the House, the Senate or tne
President to its repeal; whereas,
that Sherman law once repealed,
the measures (whatever they may
be) which are to take its place to
continue the use of both gold and
silver, maintain their parity, remove

KFFECT OF VANCKS LETTER.
It w ill not be confined to North
Caroliua or to the Mecklenburg
county Alliance. It is accepted
here as a declaration of war against
Cleveland'santi-Democratic adminis
tration. The free silver men here
and the free silver, unmuzzled and
unbought Democratic press of the
country speak of it enthusiastically
as the boldest and bravest public
utterance that has come from the
south. Already one hundred thou
sand copies of the Utter have been
pnuted for distribution in the
southern states. It strikes the key
note. It hits the bulls eye right in
the center. It is an inspiration, only
a man of the people could put his
thoughts in such living, burning,
imperishable woids. All hail our
new Gladstone! Hurrah for Vance
and home rule which means the
people. May God spare his life and
give him strength to win the battle!
This letter has stiffened the weak
kneed free silver Democratic con
gressmen from North Carolina. They
have been coquetting with the "un
conditional repeal" crowd, with a
view, obviously, of securing ap
pointments. Hut Vance has drawn
the lines. If Vance was a me uber
