TIU i: III lit I PARTY.
We do not "mean any harm'' by
saying "third party nonsense." Wre
mean good by what we write aud
jsay. We canuot, therefore, cease
repeating that this Third party
movement is the most nonsensical
that ban Uezu put on foot in many
a day. It is nonsensical because
it "demands" laws that would make
this government a political machine
ten times more heinous thau it has
ever been ; nonsensical because in
stead of its advocates standing by
the members of their own family
they have turned their backs upon
their own true fiiends and with
drawn fiom tho TRUE PARTY OF
REFORM ; nonsensical, because in
stead of ataudiug side by side with
their friends and flouting in solid
phalttux the common enemy, they
are .endeavoring to eta in peed the
army that has and is shosviug itself
fueiidly to tlteir interests; nonsen
sical, because ot the antics aud
complete simplicity aud uonsense of
some of the leaders and speakers;
nouseusieal, because of its incou-
sisteucyand its fickleness. Why say
inconsistency f Inconsistent because
at Ocala the organization it, prr
fesses to follow demanded iu plain
language a reduction ot the Tariff,
and then at St. LoGis it adopted a
alatform coutaiuiuer nothing that
could be construed more in favor of j
tariff reform than for high protee.. !
tioo, and yet these St Louis de I
manders are condemning the Dem-. !
ocratio party for indefinitenesa in
the statement of its principles; ins j
conieteot because its advocates are :
dying out "robbery," "slavery" and j
"oppieasion,'' under the present i
government, aud at the same time ;
are pursuing a course that virtually i
makes tbem an annex cf tbe party
that is wholly responsible for tho
present system of government ! In
consistent, tco, because tbey said
any party tbat would either endorse
their demands or "something bet
... n .1 efatwl that lAT-
ler, tUtty Wiiuiu Bioim i
ty ; and tbe Democratic party baa
endowed a part of their demands
and for tho other part it has substi
stnted ''something better" and yet
those Third party ilea are fighting
it ! Tho fickleneHS of these deform
era is evidenced by the fart that
they will demand one thiig this year
and next year they will hiss at ihe
party that stands up to defend the
eamo thing. It is not forgotten how
great importance was attached to
the tai iff question at Ocala iu lbW;
fil f dejeKato at. Ocala con.
mention force bill to tbe Third par.
tyitep they laugh you to scorn !
These are a few of the reasons foi
using the terms, inconsistency, fick
leness aud nonsense.
Now a few words about last Sat
urday's meetiug. In the first place
the leport of the meeting which th
secretary kindly furnished us i
mislead.ug in one or two particulars
There was no effort made to have a
turn out of the "opposition" and
the spectators that were piesent
did not go to make a fight aud
would not have opeDf.l theii
) mouths had they not been challeng
ed to do so. But those who offeree!
a few remaiks have nothing o!
which to be asuamed. Tbe secre
tary savs ouly three voted agrust
the movement, but fails to stab
that mauy did not vof9 at all and
fails, tx),to state the fact that it
, ,,rarAftil u 1t.in.
j and it was soon evidenced that
they were not, for those three
that did not vote were i riled ou'
of order by the chair! Tin
fact is Mr. Wilsou had appoint
ed as far as he knew delegates onh
who were in lor the Third paitv.
and the meeting would not have
been known as widely as ir, was had
not the COURIER, slipped up on it
through an Alliance Democrat. Ii
they wanted to make a test as tr
which party is the strongest of the
three in the county they shoulc
have had an understanding amon
the different parties, to that effect
before convening.
Any Thud partyite building
hopes on the result of last Satur
day's meeting will be sadly disap
pointed, unless lie is a Republican
and is working for that party.
Mr. Shuford ot Catawba wonder
ed why people who did not attend
the !5t. Louis meeting could know
more about tho Union soldiers'
plank than be did himself, he being
piesent. The truth is that those
who "know"' the plank was in the
platform have abundance ot evi
dence from those who did at
tend the conference, and from other
sources. No unprejudiced mind
can read the evidence and deny the
truth of it. What does Col. Liv
ingston and Congressman Mosps of
Georgia, say? Were they not
there ? Was "Master" Powderly,
and Miss Willard, not there? They
all say the 12th plank was in tbe
platform. But above all who should
know better than I he SECRETARY
OF TUE COMMITTEE ON PLAT
FORM McLalliN f See his let
ter in last weeks Coukoe. These
evidences coupled with the fact that
the platform was so published all
over this countiy in A'liauce and
non.Alliance and iu official and non
official papers is enough to out
weigh anything Mr. Shutord may
say.
Mr. i. E. Hoover, took occasion
to make remarks about the $4,000
bonus paid by the lat Legislature
to Joe Daniels, public printer.
When he came to this point he Less
itated, but liually said he must turn
on the light and let the truth come.
Mr. Hoover forgot that the last leg
islature was composed, principally,
of AUiancemen- lie seemed to
forget that Mr. Wilson, the man,
who, politically, has deceived the
Democratic party ot Lincoln county,
aud who is a leader of the Third par
ty ot this county, was a supporter
oiJosepbus JJaoieK He forgets
,liat "ost of the clf-an cut Demo- j
crafs the straighfout Democrat !
,,; PrP8s for the most part, con
demned this action on the part of
'ast legislature,
Here is a quer: If Mr, Wilson
CAa "Q ne year turn one complete
somersault from the Democratic
platform, and lnd upon the Third
party platform, how long will it take
to turn 2 somersaults and land
into the Republican ranks?
Prof. Hahn tickled the fancy of
his followers by reading an article I
taken from the Charlotte Observer
and copied in the Courier in the i
issue following the State convention
in which we published tho com
meuts of the pross of tbe State.
We do not agree with the Observer
in saying that one can be a good
Democrat and endorso none of the
State Platform. But we do say
that if Mr. Wilsou endorses his own
action iu the last Legislature and
Mr. Hoover and Prof. Halm do not,
aud all three can still be good Third
party men, then for the same reason
men can differ about the Democrat
ic platform and still all be good
Democrats. Try again.
Now we have only to add that
while there were, no doubt, men in
the meeting Saturday who are
honest in their convictions, yet th
doings aud actions of that little band
was more silly, nonsensical and
radical politically than anything
that has occurred in Lincoln since
tbe days of radicalism;
It will be seen in Third Party
proceedings that W. M. Hull, coun
ty commissioner, was appointed r
delegate to their Congressional con
veutiou. Mr. Hull was asked las!
Monday, before he was re elected,
as to his position, and be positively
declared that he was not a Thirr
party man and upon that assuranc
he was rt-elected commissioner. If
is due Mr. Hull, and his friend -however,
that he make a public
statement over his own name as !
his position. It is due these Thir.
partyites to say that they have no
right to mix up men's nams as be..
iug members of their "organization''
'? those men ar not.
A. WELCOME COMK1IJL
TIOX. We have received the following
letter, which we take the liberty t
publish. We assure Dr. Spainhour
that the article he proposes will b
welcomed to our columns.
Lfnoib, N. CL June 1, 1892.
J. M. Roberts,
Dear Sir : I occasionally see
copy ot your paper, and think yo;.
are doing some good work on th
early history of our country, for
which everybody should be grate
ful. The German and Swiss ancestry
of many of the early settlers of Lin
j coin county landed at Philadelphia,
i aud first settled in Pennsylvania.
The severe winters and the desire
'or a more Dngeoial climate causeo
them to emigrate south from 1740
to 1765.
In hunting up the history of my
own family, at considerable expense
1 procured a rare old book contain
ing a list ot emigrants from Germa
ny and Switzerland, aud as I find
many of the names that I remember
pleasantly in Lincoln, I propose
writing out for your readers the
time of arrival at Philadelphia,
the ship tbey came over on, and the
names. By thie, mauy of those in
terested in such matters may be
able to trace their relationship, it
you desire such.
I send on a separate sheet some
ot the names. You can erase such
names as are not subscribers, or
such as do not care whether they
have any ancestry or not. and add
to tbe list such names as you have
ou your list of subscribers and I
will get it up for you.
Very tiuly yocr,
J. JL SlMNlIOUR.

and full intention of this meeting.
The chair appointed the following:
G. W. Hahu, O. L. Wilson. J. W.
Sigmon, James H. Ballard and J. C.
Bess. Before retiring, G. W, Hahn
called tbe attention of the audience
to tbe presence of prominent Re
formers from the sister county of
Catawba and begged, therefore, foi
tbe instruction of the audience dur
ing Committee'.- absence, to intro
duce Mr. A. C. Shutord, Capt. P. M
Mull, and Editor J. C. Click, who
made solid speeches giving forth no
uncertain sound. The ominitte

Preamble.
When in the course of a long pe
lioil of cor. lption within the domi
nant parties, an elemeut arise
which demands a check upon th
frauds perpetrated by said parliep.
and there is no disposition upon the
parties to hearken to reasonable p.nd
just demands, but hurl hack abus ;ince, and we do hereby send greet
and vituperation iu the face of those j mg to the newly organized People's
demanding; and wheu that eiemen:iparty of our ei8ter and ,)id her

2. Resolved, That re do this day
organize the People' party of Lin

manner, so tbat the humblest mem

much voice in the selection of offi

this organization is withont malice
toward any it is made in the in
terests of all classes, in the interests
of our one common country.
3. Resolved That we hereby da
dare our iotention to be honest and
consistent with our convictions;
therefore, we declare our intention
to vote tne People's Party ticket
from the lowest to the highest offi

who love principle more than party

4. Resolved, That we extend a
hearty welcome to all, without re

love fieedom more thau elavery,
justice more tnau roubery, to join
us in this crusade against legalized
robbery.
A motion to adopt tbe resolutions
with various seconds. The discus
sion of the resolutions at once seem
