ALABAMA.
A GreenbaCker's Experience.

JH. Randall. Greenback campaign
orator. has written Il letter relating his |
experiences in Alabama. He went |
to Kizer Hall, to Il barbecue and joint |
discussion between Democrats and |
Greenbackers. OF course lie got the !
worst of it. He says of the first Dem |
ocratic orator: In the course of his |
speech he said: The COufederacy still !
exists. my friends, and jeff Davis, the
best President and devoted to our
interests. and if Hancock is elected,
and we have no doubt he VIII be, you
will be paid for all property you have
lost through Radical rule, and you must
stand by the great Democratic par
tv, for solid South will give us entire
control of the General Government, and
we can redress all our wrongs. His thlr-
ty-minute speech was almost entirely
of this order. AS soon as we report
ed. it was decided that we speak in be-
half of the Greenback party one hour
and fifteen minutes and that Mr.. Tay-
lor, of Butler, reply to us in the same
time. We opened our case in a calm
and pleasant appeal to everybody not
to applaud but to give us close atten-
ton while we presented the facts in
relation to the present situation,
and we soon had engaged the serious
and earnest attention of everybody OH
the ground within hearing of our voice.
when man remarked, We don't want
no d-n Yankee TO come here and TAX
to us: we had better shut him up. Tn"
| next thing was for Il band from the
! neighbOring town of Shubuda to strike
up. and the Committee of Arrange
ment claim they could not stop it, nor
did not"
lie next went to Shubuda, and he
describes his greeting Is follows:
There's the Greeubacker now d-n
him." Three cheers for Hancock;
Cd d-n Yankee Gieenbacker. he
ought to be killed." Lets give him
he'll" and some other phrases of like
character. We quietly passed on and
said nothing. being followed part of
the way by young men, yellil g at us
as they halted fifty yards from our
team. In about ten minutes Il young
man well dressed and perfectly sober.
separated from group. came up to us.
Der. the following conversation:

expect l am.
NJ. B. D.-I have a note l was re-
quested to give you. Read ii and give
me your answer.
Very well. sir.
We took the note, written on leaf
torn from pocket memorandum, ana
read us follows:

pard thirty-five minutes to pick mp
, your duds and git out of this town.
Yours to death,
TIE BOYS OF SHCBUDA.
'Do you mean to tell me that an
American law-abiding citizen, on
the way to attend to his business
cannot stay in this town to take the
first train of cars going South"
VI. B. Dive know you, and you
cant stay. YOumust go to the next
station.
> Who gives this Orler?"
NJ. b. D,-The boys of Shubuda
Your time is passing; you better get
along. or you'll catch hell.
Mr. Randall understood this as IN
indication that the people of Shubud;
did not desire him to espOund Green
back theories in that neighborlIeOd.
l APARTY OF HATE AND MALICE.
Since the Alabama election the
National Vie,C, Greenback argan, has
been pouring hot shot into the ranks OF
: the shotgun Democracy. The follow
ing is from that paper;
Accounts from Alabama come to us
filled with evidences of the frauds prac
ticed in the late election. The most
shameless and open discrepancies exist
between the ballots cast and those
counted. At Huntsville an amount OF
suppression and intimidation equal Ia
that used in the worst days OF recon,
strUction We're openly carried on. Com
ment upon these things without more
positive action does very little good
The party who condemn these outrage
: Gus abuses, be they committed by who
they may. has a hard work before il
but it must he accomplished. The cX-
ecutiOn of laws themselves must be
such as to prevent similar action by
any party. That party which parades
a platform sonorously quoted by the
man who voted to protect brute force
in Congress. which declares for free
ballot, and leads its forces to such a
victory as that gained in Alabama, is
a party of hate, of malice, and the
protector of the worst crime known TO
nations Subyersi0n of the
peoples will. Work against it. Vote
against it. Refuse its alliance. Let
the honest men come out of it,
