'The Tailor Makes the Man"

Since the tailor makes the man, II must
be evident to the most easy-going mind
that the best tailor makes the best man.
This, Of course, must be taken with limit
atoms. However, it is fact admitted by
all, that as a man must have clothing he
might as well have it to fl him neatly and
made IN becoming style as to have it dis.
guise him against all recognition by his
friends, as it too frequently does. For the
purpose then Of having their patrons praise
them because of their becoming appearance
and well-made garments, Clauss 4 Bro, the
popular merchant tailors, of Lehighton,
make point to give their customers per-
feet fits and garments well and ar.lstically
made. Artist in clothing themselves, they
are satisfied only when their patrons are
satisfied, and their purpose is to come as
near perfection as can be, The stock of fall
and winter goods is very large, larger than
most merchant tailoring establishments
carry, and much larger than can be found
In any Of the tailoring stores, and being
gentlemen OF taste the style of their goods is
a prime consideration with them. In adj
dtion 10 their immense stock of merchant
tailoring goods they have full line of boots,
shoes, hats, caps, and gentlemen's furnish
ing goods, to which they invite the.atten-
tion of their patrons aud tho public. Prices
ully as low as the same article can be got
anywhere in the State.

handsome majority. From every part
Of the county reliable reports are re-
ceived that Republicans, white and
celored are solid for the ticket. The
colored voters like the whites are raj
lying for the standard bearers of an
honest and a fair count. Colored vo-
ters recognize the fact that this is a
political and not personal contest
The black belt is for Shelby, Cochran,
Haden and Williams, because they
stand upon a platform which guaran-
tees honest elections, free schools, and
humane treatment Of convicts. Ev-
cry day new recruits come out from
the Democratic ranks. and it is safe
to say that the free, independent and
honest voters Of Madison are determln
ed to administer severe rebuke to
the present administration by rolling
up round majority against it.

Editor Gazette:
| would appeal to the colored vo-

test now going on. The Bourbons are
standing upon the same old platform
of 1861. They advocate not a single
new issue. They are frantic for Of
fice, and use its power to oppress the
poor-both black and white.

what are the issues advocated by the
Democratic party rnd what is it's pol
icy, and they are dum-founded- They
dare not expose their real designs.
Ii would shatter the last vestige OF
trust yet reposed in them by q mis-
guided people.
They tell you that the Greenback-
ers are Democrats. If so, why do
they not vote fer them. Is it not be-
cause the Greenbackers are in favor
OF equal rights and fair play with a
fair count ?
The Bourbons will leave no stone
unturned to accomplish their designs
They will advise you not to vote at all
You will be offered work on election
day with promise of double pay, to
keep you away from the polls and
cheat you out of your vote. Some
will even threaten to refuse to rent

Coming Over.

One of the most discouraging fea-
lures of the campaign in this county
to the Bourbons is the large number
of citizens heretofore Democrats who
are daily coming out in open sup
port of the Independent ticket. In
Huntsville alone over fifty such vo-
ters were enumerated by friend a
few days since.
They are not Office seekers, but
business men and laborers who want
a reform. This wonderful change of
sentiment among the whites, we un-
derstand is equally as great through
out the county.
It is high tribute to the intelli-
gence and civilization of North Ala
bama-this revolt against ring-rule
and partisan nisgovernment. 1t
shows that the people recognize a
higher duty than party servitude,
and intend to let the Bosses know it.
When it comes to contest between
prrty and the public honor and good
name public sentiment must always
uphold the latter.
1t is not strange taat this threat
ened revolution should create the
utmost confusion in the Democratic
ranks. It is said that they are divi-
ded-and a house divi ed against
itself must fall.
