A Republican OPINION OF the Condi-
ton Of Anairs I'm Alabama.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 2.-The Daily
State Jearnal, the organ OF the republican party
Of Alabama, IN ITS issue this morning, SAYS -
We have lived in this State for more than a
quarter OF century, and have never felt inSe-
cure in person or property account of political
oPfnions We are sincere In cur repubicauism,
and we feel safe because we love our people, and
honestly believe that we are pursuing a fco9rse
that viii rebound 20 their peace, happiness and
prosperity. Those men who call themselves
Republicans, and who are continually trying 70
get into office by string up discord and strife,
ana poisoning the minds of voters in secret dens
at midnight; where honest men and sincere
republicans are plotted against, simply because
they are honest and sincere and have social
standing in the coInrnunity, may feel unsafe.
We indOrse no such 1bels upon the whole people
efor State. Radical, vulturous, kuklux Office
IS people than all the libels ever written. We
believe that every honest man h safe in Ala
bama, no matter what his political opinions are.
