Here follows the oath as pub
lished in The ARGUS last week.
I consented to become a mem
Der of the Band of Gideon after
being assured most positively that
it had no political significance and
that / could retire at any time /
saw fit. l should not have ioined
the order if I had supposed it was
the purpose to use it tor political
purposes or to improperly direct
or control the councils Of the Allia
ance, and as soon as | became COM
vinced that it was being used to
further political schemes and to in
tlnence in that direction the noble
order to which we both belong, [
at once severed my connection
with it.
Ny first suspicion that the order
was being used in this way was at
the speaking at Henderson by Mr..
Marion Butler and Col. Harry
Skinner, when / received a .ign
from a gentleman which | recog-
niz.d to be a sign of the order
known as "Gideon's Band" 1t is
not necessary for me to detail what
this gentleman said to me subse-
qnently which further aroused my
suspicious. These suspicious were
strengthened and confirmed at a
meeting OF the Alliance delegates
to tho Democratic State Conven-
ton of 1892, held in Raleigh the
night before the convention assem-
bled. Iu this meeting Mr.. S. Ohio
Wilson suggested and advocated
the retirement Of the Alliance dell
egatcs when the convention reach>
ed the election of delegates to the
National Democratic Convention
to be held at Chicago, and [ oppoe-
ed the suggestion. During the
discussion Mr.. Wilson gave a sign
which | recognized as a sign of the
order. and a delegate touched me
and [ stopped and we retired to-
gether when he suggested TO me
that / should cease from opposition
and let the thing go or.
[ tLen became thoroughly salts
fed that that order was being given
a political significance, and on my
return home I surrende. ed to Mr.
Wilson his papers and I have had
nothing to do with it since.
LEND You a letter written to me
by Mr.. Wilson, in reply to
one written to him by me.
l make this statement because
am Satisfied that my duty to my
State and tellow-citizens impera'
lively demands that | should break
silence about the matter which
seems to me a serious menace tt
the peace and good order of oul
people, and because / believe it il
my duty TO the Alliance, whose
cause is being ruined by this Sc :
cret ord.r. l am still an Alliance
man, and I joined this order tt
serve the Alliance cause, but | an
now satisfied that 80 far from sery'
ing this cause, it is destroying it
and that my duty as an Alliance
man, as well AS a citizen, demands
that | should take these steps t.
secure the suppression of thu
"Band."

Since it has become common say
ing for the country papers promiscu-
ously to boast of their mighty works,
and much reading, we we simply say
by way of passing remark, that this
paper gives twenty-five per cent more
reading matter-more columns, more
lines, more words-than any other
6-column paper in the State. Prove
your statements or keep less fuss We
know something of Mississippi Jour-
nalism, and hence we are ready to
meet argument. We have toiled in
cessantly to make this paper readable,
we are glad many have appreciated
our efforts, but there are others who
appreciate nothing; fortunately though
they don't number many in the make

Now that the Democratic National

roll the grand old party into power.

many of us were hoping, longing and
working for, we should remember
that it is party and party principles
that we are 10 work for, and not for
personal favoritism. Never in our
history has there been more urgent
demand for party loyalty and integrity
of principle, for ardent and earnest
workers. Too much of public senti-
ment lies in a shapeless mass, ready
to be nodded by the first impress, or
worse still. has been confused, distorted
by some local-isms. These little strifes
must be looked after and adjusted. 1t
is plain matter of fact that we can
eject democrat with concentrated
force OF all the democrats. 1t is fully
as imminent that a lack of unity in
action means overwhelming defeat
defeat now and perhaps forever. The
opposition will be very susceptible to
q blow this time, and if dealt at the
right time and place will insure a
democratic victory. Men Of reason,
leware the third party. prohibition
party or any new scheme concocted
for democratic defeat. Four months
is short time, but is ample to cast
the matrix to mould the destiny of a
great nation. See to it.
