A Pasha but not an Alexandria

Note the incident that the Domo-
cratic organ singles out for burlesque
or ridicule the only representative our
colored citizens have on any ticket in
the field. In a feeble attempt to be
witty it dubs w P. Williams, Pasha
Williams. This slight treatment Of
Mr.. Williams, who is a we'll known
business man and citizen, eholding an
elective Office at Meridianyille, by the
Independent, is significant as showing
the general Bourbon contempt of hon
oring a cOlored man. Straws will
show the way the wind blows. How
ever "Pasha" Williams will not re-
treat but will be at the front until the
close of the polls on election day.
when our funny contemporary will
think disaster worse than Alexan-
dria has overtaken its cause.
Compared with the following no
tice from the Aduocate, the Green back
organ, the contrast ia significant
w. P. WILLIAMS. is a citizen of
Meridianyille. He has the esteem
and respect Of his neighbors without
regard to races. Men of all parties
vote every year in Huntsville for
colored men rs Aldermen; the idle
and foolish can't of prejudice is CIV
ing place to common sense, and the
logic of events. Nor have the people
found cause to repent the representa-
tive and official position which as a
people they have conferred upon this
class of our citizens. The colored
man, ss alderman. as constable, and
policeman, has acquitted himself
with unlocked for excellence both as
to integrity of character and sober
discreet judgment. Race preju-
dice will not be factor in the judg-
ment Of the practical, intelligent vo-
ter, who recognizes in the colored
man the basis of our industrial eco
nomics, and is ready and willing to
see him properly and justly recog-
nized in the conduct Of govern

To the People Of Alabama.
Chairman.

The Representatives of Independents
and Of the Greenback Labor Party, met
in conference at Birmingham on the 9Th
day of July, 1882, and resolved on the
declaration of principles hereto annex
ed. They are plain, simple, and easily
understood, and can be easily followed
by all men, rich or poor, learned or un-
learned, who wish to deal justly with
their fellows.
While the so-called Democratic par
ty declare in what they are pleased to
call the ''time- me-hOnOred principles of the
Democratic party" (Bourbonism never
gets boyOnd), our plitfo rm is honored
with the antiquity of natural justice
dating from the time that primitive man
dealt fairly and humanely with his fell
low men: an announcement of funda
mental principles of common honesty,
stated to lead and not to mislead, and
to which the public safely demands an
immediate return.
1t may seem strange that these prin-
ciples are denied by Bourbonism. Per
haps they are not; but they are despis-
ed and defeated daily in the political
administration of the State.
The Conference also presented a tick
ct for State officers, embracing the
names of men who advocate and endorse
these views, and place their CLAIMS to
your suffrage on the rectitude of these
principles.
We believe no gentleman presented
on this ticket ever failed to res, ond to
the uttermOst, in war or peace, to the
demand of public duty, or slept when
the State called for his help.
In presenting this ticket, we are not
unmindful of the significant fact that
in August, 1880, the Democratic majority
was counted at several thousand more
than the highest aggregate vote that
party has polled at any period of its
history. 1t is true that the same fraud
ulent election is in the book of Bourbon
law rInrepealed. 1t is true that there
are vet alive the men, motives and
methods of that memorable August
when the election began only when the
count began, and when slippery lit
tie David, with the sling of an Inspec-
tor, cast out and counted until he had
securely slain the Goliath of an adverse
public sentiment and will.
But with diligence these miracles will
cease, and no step that prudence can de.
wise should be omitted, which will de-
tect like frauds or deter them from re-
peating the ordained mockery of Au-
gust, 1850.
We advise that candidates for the
Legislature in opposition to the Bour-
bon Democracy be presented in each
county in the State, and that they be
supported by vigorous canvass in each
instance.
BY such means majority, or pow
erful minority, i'll the Legislature may
be obtained and such remedial legisIa-
ton had aswill once more restore to the
people Of Alabama the fact as well as
the form of democratic government,
and relieve them OF the most irrespon-
sible and odfous of all monopolies- IA

laws whicn enable them for all time to

opponents out.

Roesrs REPUBLICAN STATE Com OF ALA !
MONTGOMERY, ALA, july 10TH, 1882. I
To the Republicans Of Alabama:
The Republican State Convention, which
assembled in this city on the 9th inst,
adopted a resolution endorsing the candi-
dates nominated by the Birmingham Con-
ference for State offices, and calling on
Republicans throughout the State to give
those candidates a hearty support.
The names of the candidates SO en-
dorsed are as follows:
FoR GOVERNOR:
JAMES L.. SHEFFIELD,
Of Marshall.
FOR SECRETARY OF STATE:
ALBERT H. TOWNSEND
of Butler.
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL;
CHARLES P. LANE,
of Limestone.
FOR TREASURER:
JONI W. MONTGOMERY.
of Jefferson.
FOR AUDITOR:
JOHN B. SHIELDS.
of Walker.
FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUcATIoN-
IRA G. WOOD.
Of jackson.
Tie platform of principles upon which
these candidates go before the people de-
mands amongst other things:
l. The repeal of the Snfamous election
law. and the passage Of a new law which
will secure to every citizen right to vote
and to have his vote counted.
2. The re-establishment of an efficient
free school system, to which the Democrat
ic party is unalterably opposed, and which
we may never hope for as long as that
party remains in power.
D3. The abolition of the convict labor
system, which is barbarous and inhuman
in its effect upon the convict, and unfair
and unjust in its effect upon the laboring
man. with whom it brings the convict in
to competition.
The Republicans of Alabamasfind them,
selves in full accord with the Independ ents
apon each of the above propositions. i
was this fact, coupled with the conviction
that the men putforth at Birmingham were
honest ana courageous men. into who's,
hands could be safely left the accomplish

ositions, that induced your Convention Y

quaint you with that action to induce you
to buckle on your armor and to rally once

enemy of Independents and Republicans
alike. it is the enemy of any party, of any
man or men that would bring back purity
to the ballot box. an impartial administra~
tion of the laws to the Courts. the seal Of
legitimacy to our executive officers, and
to the people, the blessings of educat ior
and intelligence. 1t would trample under

What is needed by the people is a
public school system which will give
the poor children nine months school
ing in q year instead of three. The
party that will work to accomplish
this, instead of using its energies
in disgraceful manipulations to retain
power is the party in demand.

The Winning Ticket.

Every good citizen desires to vote
only for good men for Office. 1t is
not, however, always for man that
vote is cast. As in the present
canvass it is the principle, the policy
which certain candidates are set up to
represent. All Of our candidates. in
the present contest happily illustrate
in their records and fair regulations
the principles and the just cause for
which their fellow citizens have Sc
lected them to stand. Every Repub
lican, Independent, Greenbacker. or
honest citizen who wants to cast vote
against fraudulent elections and in
favor of efficient schools and a correc-
ton of the evils Of the Convict sys-
tenn must feel proud that he can
discharge his duty to the State and
also subserve every other interest by
voting for Capt. David D. Shelby for
the Senate and Messrs. w. w. Fla
den, Jno. w. Cochran and VIM. P.
Williams for Representatives.
The personal Of the ticket is un
tarnished, every man on it being well
known as possessing character and
ability. Captain Shelby, who heads
the ticket, sacrifices much to serve
the people. His recognized high le-
gal talent and requirements united
