RUIN, RED.RUIV!

is altogether the most ingenious theory
of the assassination we have heard.
RUIN, RED:RU1N!
This ''here" country is going to ruin!
There is no doubt about it, ruin is what
nj 8 this ''here' great country. Cause
why? Men who are boilers, men who
have been read out of the party by the
Mobiles county wire-pullers, because
they didn't support Dunnell last fall,
are actually, shamelessly, and with
brazen. boldness ''aforethought," being
appointed to fill the highest positions
by Republican Governors and nominal
ed for important offices by Republican
State Conventions. That we should
live to see it! But we have! That pa
triots like US, and Barber, and Bloom,
and Town and the rest of us Republi-
cans, who have always stuck to the
party through thick and thin, and coun.
ty offices aud post offices and all the
Others that end in oflice,-that we
should live to see the downfall and ruin
of our country. Such is lie!
Look 1T the record:
Edgerton, appointed Senator.
Gen. Baker, nominated for Railroad
Commissioner.
W. W. Braden, nominated for State
Auditor.
Every one of them opposed to Dun
nell last fall, and yet, and yet, oh it is
enough to break the heart of a Mobiles
county Republican to see such apostacy
to Republican principles. Was there
ever any principle known to a Mobiles
county Republican straight" beyond
loyalty to Dunnell? And he who breaks
the commandment which includes all,
and is all, is he not guilty of all? Oh that
this country should ever be brought to
the pass of recognizing Edgerton, and
Baker and Braden as Republicans.
lcl,abod!
FRED BLOOM FURTHER "EXP0SEs''
THE ADVANCE MAN.
In last weeks Journal, Fred Bloom
continues his review of the editor of the
ADVANCE. as follows:
He thereby assisted the Southern
States which were making gigantic ef-
forts to get control OF the government
by the election of a Democratic presi-
dent and getting control of both houses
Of Congress, divide the state of Texas
into three states thereby securing to
them four additional u. S. Senators, in
crease the number of Supreme. Judges
to fifteen, annul the late amendments
Of the Constitution and I'LL laws passed
under them, repudiato the national
debt, pay all rebel claims and pension
rebel soldiers. That is the style Of q
Performed Republican" he is. Failing
last fall to accomplish his reasonable
designs he now has the audacity to ask
the Republicans of Mobiles county to
assist him 10y endorsing his co workers
at the convention to be held next Mon
day. just look and behold the kind of
company he associates with. But time
forbids extending this exposure of him
any further at present.
And this man Miller is still loose in
the community, roaming around! This
man, who last fall united with the
Southern States to overthrow the Con-
stitution and the Bylaws; divide the
State of Texas up between the Cow
Boys and the KuKlux; repudiate the
public debt, especially the rebel debt,
and increase the number Of Supreme
Judges, so that he could get onto the
bench himself, or words to that effect.
this man has the 'audacity" to say that
Mills and Miller, two soldiers who
served through the war and have been
lifelong Republicans. who worked and
voted for Garfield last fall, and who
have filled county Offices for one term
with general approval, ought to he
given another term as an endorsement,
since that is the custom and is the fair
way ot doing. Yes, sir, this man Mill
er, who united with the Southern
States last fall to oyerturn the Consti-
tuition. including the Bylaws, has the
''autlacity" to do this, to ask that Re-
publican soldiers he nominated by Re-
publican Convention and given Office
i'll Republican county. Angels and
ministers of grace. protect Fred Bloom
and his 'consorts'' from such q fate,
and give the nomination for Auditor
to Fred Bloom. Down with the South.
ern States and one ADVANCE man.
And now while Mr.. Bloom is review
ing us we must return the compliment.
We don't allow any man to get ahead
of rs in doing favors. And as we have
often been asked about ''that bridge''
and what Mr.. b. had to do with it, we
may AS we'll ''review" that now.
That famous bridge was the one a.
Cross Jack Creek, between sections So
and So, in Seward, known as the Lind
erman bridge. The contract was let
last fall for $3.50. 1t was built in the
snow and accepted in the snow by Mr..
Bloom on behalf Of the Commissioners.
When the snow abutments melted off
in the spring the foolisl, bridge went
down and tloated off with the current.
The contract to get the bridge back and
