BUTLER EXPOSED.
HIS PLAN Is TO CAPTURE THE
DENOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Secretary Swinson of the Wayne AIIi-
ance Attacks Butler and Calls on
Third Party Men a. Straightouts.

The Goldsboro Argus of yesterday
contained a revelation of matters of
great moment. 1t said: Everything
does not seem to be, SO to speak, as il
were, after the manner of men, or
words to that efect-altogether lovely
among the Farmers Alliance and
Third party afliliates and st. Louis
platformers in this county. Here is
circular which made its appearance
yesterday, and is absolutely reliable, as
to its genuineness, because it was
handed to US by Mr.. Swinson himself
1t speaks for itself and-whether it
speaks for any one else in the county
or not, which we doubt if it does-it
certainly speaks for Mr.. Swinson.
The citizens of Wayne county, who
are earnestly and truly in favor of the
St. Louis demands, and are willing to
stand by them as the Peoples party
platform in point of principle, and who
| as-Alliancemen and-true reformers
would evidence in good faith, repu-
diation Of any farcial, Elusive or force
movement looking to the securing of
those reforms, rather than by bold,
open, manly fight before the world as
American citizens, are invited to come
to the front and meet in the court
house at Goldsboro, Friday, May Is,
at 10 a. M, and we will organize for
this county Peoples party, promis
ing in advance, that no Butler be al
lowed to wine or dine us in perversiou of
our purpose and principles. Every
person who favorS the formation of
a Peoples party upon the St. Louis
platform, and willing to stand by prin-
ciple, rather than policy and intrigue
in obtaining, and repudiates the idea
of capturing ANY OTHER PARTY
MACHINE as means to gain their
ends, are invited to come. The ques-
tion of color or previous political affilia.
tions are waived in this fight for rural
and urban labor upon the merit Of
princi pie. (Signed) Abbott L. Swim
son.
"Mr. Swinson is the secretary Of the
county Farmers Alliance, and is also
likewise, one of the county Alliance
delegates, appointed under the Butler
call last week, to 90 to Raleigh to at
tend the Butler conference on the nigh
of May II, the evening prior to tn
meeting of the State Democratic con
vention. Now when Butler and Swim
son confront each other in that confer
ence on the 18th, the traditional 'tue
of belligerent nature that is said t
have been consequent upon the meetini
of Greek and Greek will pale into in
signifcance-ifit it be even recollected a
(. alias a comparison of the clashin
t of these two mighty patriots and intel
lectual giants and would-be Moses-es-e
of the enthralled people.
"It has developed that Mr.. Butler

last Saturday did not at all satisfy tb

any more than it satisfied straigh
