CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Morning News
says: A new political organization has
beeE formed. Reciprocity in it's plat>
form and Blaine it's chic 1t is a COM
blnatlon of la orIng men in the pIotect-
ed trades, farmers who are not IN, Or are
weary of alliance and democrats and re
pu ubllcans generally who believe in
Blaine and protective tariff. The or
ganiZation is secret and oath bound.
Each member must subscribe to rIt-
ual that fixes his opinion on certain
questions In black and white. 1t claims
$4,000 members in Ch -cago. Among
them are w. E. Mason, Frank Lawler
and host of hers promin inent in poll
;Ics and business. Outside of Chicago
the organization, it is said, has $1,000
members. Encampments or lodges are
to oe organized In every city IN the land.
Old time political associations will be
laid aside. Its scope is immense. 1t
takes In half dozen interests. In the
west it embraces every one who Is par-
tial to Blaine or reciprocity and it Is or
ganlzed under the general name of the
where there is no Farmers Alliance to
bar the way to success, the organization
is called the continental League" This
particular branch of the movement was
intended to exist 10 cities and large
towns almost exclusively. Elk Assistant
Postmaster General Ciarkson is said to
have conceived the idea OF the Organ:Za-
tiop and Patrick Ford, editor of the r.
ish World, of New YOrs, is credited with
assisting him in working out its details.
To the great cities other difficulties be-
sides those in connection with tariff
have to be cons dered. These are called
deputies and other orders CT like char
acter which are suppOs d to hate Mr..
Blame. To offset these Mr.. Ford hit
upon the continental league scheme, re-
ciprocity, and opposition ID, theories OF
the deputies were to be it's platform.
Particular emphasis was to be la d on
the latter point. Outwardly at least
this was to be the apparent object. Dem
Ocrats and republicans would uni in
ranks. By the ritual of the Continental
League leading questions are put to
candidates, all members are oath bound
and must not under any circum3tance5
reveal the secrets of the organization.
In the questions the candidate is asked
If be is citiz n of the United States.
This requirement is essential to admis-
sion.
