Looking to the contest to come off in Ala
baina next fall, everybody wsnts TO win.
Up 10 Date there IS no sort Of disagreement
among the ahti-Radlcal element. There
are not three hundred white men in this
State who don't know that the race issue
has-b been made against them. | soieiHnIy
affirm, that in large intercourse with me-
chanics, planters and farmers, the producers
OF the State, have not met one, or heard
Of one, who is not opposed to the payment
of one dollar on account of the principal OF
interest Of the fraudulent railroad bonds.
There isn't a taxpayer, not an aspifam 10
office from the Tennessee line to the Cub
of Mexico, who does not join in the demand
for reduced pay of public servants, economy
in all expenditures, lower taxes, and gen.
eral administrative reform.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Huntsville now has fourishing Drama
tic and Literary Society, composed pTinci-

idea for the dramatic club and literary So
ciety to unite in an effort to establish a

and enjoyment of citizens generally, Ths
would pay small monthly or annual fee
to sustain the institution.
