| ATTORNEY a. ~. UA1A1oA.1y tDo cAAeA @eS-
tor in the Deneen Movement for the
past three years in the Second Ward
has gone over to the Brundage faction
and has taken with him the entire or
ganization consisting Of such leaders as
Mrs. Ada Mckinley, Carroll Nelson,
clerk; Wallace johnson, clerk; Richard
e. Parker, contractor; Joseph Brent,
carpenter; A. 3. wilson, decorator;
Chas. Ford, expressmaa; B. ". Williams,
with the Chicago Journaly Dan. Macon,
with the Committee Of Fifteen; W. n.
Hunter, banker; d. Bishop, barber;
Chas. Reese, clerk; Robert smalley,
clerk; E. Hinkle, manager; W. 81. Clark,
attorney; Nelson Cramnssr, clerk; Chas.
Dunston, special officer; d. v. Foun-
taine, with National Boiler Surety Co,
and many others, all of whom are strong
and influential. This being true, the
Brundage forces have fallen heir to the
strongest outside force in the Second
Ward. Mr.. williams, who is credited
by the voters and rightly 50 as the
leader of the Deneen forces has been
identified with Hon. R. o. West, the
high Priest in the Deneen faction for
the past twelve or fifteen years and it
is said that Mr.. West has often said
that he would rather rely on Mr.. Will
iams with five supporters than many
men with FIVE hundred because he has
always found him to be honorable,
foreeful and Trustworthy. When Mr..
Williams took up his residency in the
Second Ward there was not "Cor-
porals Guard" of Densen followers but
by his persistent and untiring efforts he
succeeded in building up q powerful or
ganization for the Deneen faction. This
organization consists of . Captain in
each precinct and out of the "a precincts
In the ward they have fully organized
Is of them, and are stiIl perfeeting the |
organization by helding weekly meet

Before leaving the faction Mr.. VIII |
Jams said that he had given the matter |
Thorough consideration from all angles |
and although he felt that one Of his |
best friends, the Hon. r. o. West, would |
remain with the Deneen faction, he
thought that Mr.. West would soon re-
tire from its active msnagement, and as
In the Deneen movement there were too
many Of the "little big" men whose
heads are very much swelled and who do
not think Colersd men are yet out Of
Slavery or can govern themselves, he
,as decided 10 make q move for . more
prospective political field which would
10 for the best interest Of the movement.
BE had taken the matter up with his
'aptains and they had decided to 60
With the Brundage faction which all
agreed was the best thing to do, and
rom now on he intends TO work as
for said faction a. he had in
he past worked for the Deneen side.
That he had Mr.. Carroll Neison released
. he was charged with having had him
appointed in the Recorders Office, and
lad him placed on the Brundage pay
oil, as he did NOT want to embarrass ,
dr. Nelson by leaving him to scramble
or himself, this alone explains fully
he man and IL we would elaborate on
{ for several columns, we could not .
improve on the sentiment expressed in
ne act ltseif.
The Colored people need more "win-
ans" in the ward, as never before can
re cite one act Of this kind accom-
lished by one Of our leaders. The peo-
lie should always hereafter remember
his and should rally to his support as
ne and elect him This deed should 80
ndear him in the hearts and minds Of
he people that Il would not be neees-
ary for him to make q campaign as he
Is already shown the kind Of msttle
'hieh is much needed In and among our
'aders, but is so lacking. The average
'ader heretofore seems to be bent and
ound, soul and body, to feathsring his
