Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Nev. County, Ark.) 1885-1???, 1892-03-03
REPLY TO J. w. GHORMLEY

Editor PICAYUNE Il see from the
Tribune that j. w. Ghormley is more
anxious to misrepresent me than to
combat and disprove the figures and
allegations made by me against his
cherished third party movement.
Now, friend Ghormley, l was a
member Of the Wheel for about 3
years, and am not ashamed for the
broad open light of day to shine up
on every act l did, as a private or
official, in the Wheel. Now, friend
G. NJ. Bishop was the treasurer OF
Georgia Wheel; he had the money
when Georgia Wheel bursted up; II
he turned the money over to any
one / know not. l.. A. Rag5dalc
was the delegate to Forest Hill.
When l got there, he informed me
that the County Wheel refused to
seat him, because the dues were not
paid. | borrowed the money from
p. Norman and paid the dues. Mr..
Norman refused to take the delegate
or the Wheel for the money, and l
became individually responsible for
the money. Ny Wheel Georgia.
paid me So Of the money back !;
met Mr.. Norman twice in eighteen
or twenty months, and l paid the
$50 borrowed, and offered to pay
the interest which he refused to
take. Now, sir, | lost the differ
ence myself, nor did not use the
money as intimated by you. Friend,
how many times did you ever dis
cuss stock raising, farming, etc, in
the Wheel? Oh, you're christian
state such stuff, when the whole
order, its actions, rise up to contra
diet you the fact is notorious ey-
erywhere, that the Wheel now has
other things in view. Yes, and you,
too, and if defeated, your patriotism
will take another turn. Patrick
Henry and the other patriots can't
hold you, The company you keep
are patriots indeed-they run for
Congress one year, the next for
clerk, and then drop out like back
numbers. They have been trying
to reform the national government
for the last ten years. but the fact is
they have tried to run Nevada Co.
Now, friend, | believe the House
will pass free coinage bill, and will
make several amendments to the
Mckinley tariff bill. What the Sen
ate will do, cannot tell.
think the next national platform
will oppose national banks, favor
tariff reform and general retrench-
ment.
The last State platform WAS all
that any reformer could ask, and
believe will be reaffirmed. A gener-
al reform spirit is prevalent every
where. nor is the Democratic party
behind the tide.
Now, friend, two years ago, when
l entered the fight against the third
party, you were among the first tc
congratulate me. Oh, | was then q
"bully boy" | am still making the
fight, and what Of you! Your morals
got so good, your intellect so bright,
your patriotism so great, your mod
esty so small, your scruples gone
your old chronic appetite for Of
flee came upon you, and you fell
and where? Among the other fell
lows that has travelled the same road.
Now, friend, do you want to l"-
fend the Wheel as manipulated III
this county: If so, certainly will
crafty you, and the county will get
more information about its method
than you gave the Wheel about farm
ing, stock raising, etc.
Now, to friend Caulder: never
liked to fight an enemy in ambush.
If YOU will make affidavit You did
write the arttle above your name in
the Tribune, then | will attend to
your case in detail. | know you,
friend, and know further, that YOU
know no more about Greece and
Sparta than O. 5. Jones and Ansley
have choose to tell you.
