SOME 100000 Republican Govern
ment pap suckers are now hanging on
the ragged edge, expecting to have to
earn their living like other men.
THE Blainites have no doubt that
great frauds were perpetrated by the

sad.
= No to this time! No, indeed;
the Democrats have elected Grover

THERE are 5000 square miles of coal
fields in Alabama almost equal to
half the coal area of Great Britain.
