r.. THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND Con-
,,,-,r DISTRICT: There is an eff
.+onss 20 my prejudice garbled ex-
,.+s from a speech made by me on the
:, rr7, last to the Farmers Alliance
calhoun county; also letter written
,u.oIf to Hon. G. G. Ford, of Worth
on the Sth of February last. The
- soroht to be made available to my
...,. os understand it, is that in the
Laoa,b. | expressed myself favorably to-
.5s +be Alliance, and that, in the let
h. Invited the support of Alliance
and Of delegates to the Cuthbert
,ron+ion. whereas l am now, as it is
rorod opposing the nominee of the
,+b5ar+ convention, and denouncing
,.t convention as a Third Party move
oo+ To my surprise, [ learn furtheh
a+it is reported that L denied having
arir-en the Ford letter, | made no such
seniaL a friend Of NJ. Stevens said at
Tog,b court. that he did not have the
litter before hi II, and in undertaking, to
bate its contents, represented me as hay
II saidin that lerter.that if | could not get
endorsement Of the Cuthbert conven-
#On did not want any outsider to
nu" I disclaimed having written
ose words and l called for the pro
lction Of the letter 1t was not produced.
4 vent on to say thai l had written a
ter to Dir. Ford as my friend who had
sOmised me bis support, and th2t l had
uested him to see the delegates from
birth in my behalf, but | denied hay-
used the language ascribed to me by
friend of Mr. Stevens, and the let
as published, sustains me in that
bial, for it contains no such language.
Both the speech and the letter are pub
ed and l will not prolong this adj
IS by incorporating them herein.
", what I desire to say is, that in
speech and i'll that letter, when [
to the Alliance l mean the Alliance
en industrial organization, for such
eTstand to have been the purpose of
ormation. As such an organization,
p Institution designed to advance
interest Of agriculture, to make bet
amers and better citizens, and, if
please, to infuse a spirit of increas-
lgor and energy into the Democratic
IN the great effort to reform the
les OF the Republican party; as an in
un designed for these ends. it was
IN conception, noble in purpose,
worthy the confidence of good men.
llS view of the matter [ have always
Bat and have repeatedly said that
al been eligible would have been
noer Of the Alliance. And why
a farmer myself, with nearly the
u The little all | possess invested
lln9' the son of farmer, and af-
Oy the traditions and associations
FnO TO that condition, could not
'F"lse than in full sympathy with
l'lef IN whatever concerns the in
oi his Tocation, and | am ready
operate with him in any manner
"''o 10 promote his welfare as a
his interest; his people are my
interest people, and his DESTINY is
sunny In this sense, and this sense
N-""go OGGn identified with
p' spirit Of he Alliance movement,
D0' actually a member of the
Il. Inls sense that | am accustom-
J gler to the Alliance. There is a
''>"ncJIon between the Alliance
1I.l
'','e just stated and the Alliance
yea INTO a Third Party political
1t turns out to be unfortu-
,o' mat very large proportion
.''u'n are seeking to carry the
AL, ,l'o the Third Party. 1t is
n r' EFFORT that l make war, and
'' ,"e Alliance as such. The
