MR.. RAYNER MAKES HOME RUNS.

But when Mr.. Rayner came to dis

matters in general. he raised several
points upon which we ara reluctantly
obliged to take issue with him. He
means all right, no doubt. but it seems
to us that he is making some radical
and palpable mistakes.

The Huntsville Independent is
making a most consummate ass Of it.
self in its war ON Chairman Moseley.
The Independent and its coterie OF
would be bosses hadn't much to say
when Mr.. Mesely was receiving, as
shield, the sings and arrows Of the
democratic press and speakers dur
ing the campaign, but now, like Mr.
Seddon, they must need air their
views touching the ''respectability'
of the party organization in the state
Jasper Protectionist.
Precisely so. Chairman Mosely
hasearned the position he holds by
brave and manly service for the
party, qualities that men admire
irrespective of politics. The rank
and file Of the party are at his back
now and will stand by him against
attacks made by men who did not
show their colors in time of battle
We are for principles not spoils.

The Proposed Election Law.

The proposed new election law.
published IN these columns last
week, is dangerous to tho free and
sacred ballot necessary to the pres
ervation of the American principle
ofgovernment.
1t should be defeated.
First. Because it is an educational
qualification, in disguise.
If we are to have such quali6cas
ton of the ballot let the issue be
fought 0. enly and above board be
fore the people. No such ques ion
vas at issue when the present mem
bers of the assembly were elected.
Second. 1t virtually puts the vot-
ing, canvassing and elections almost
wholly into the control of the Judge
of Probate and his inspectors.
Ofcourse, the letter Of the law
says that such shall not be done,
but at the same time lays the temp
ptation wide open-and no ambi-
tious politician would resist it,
Third. 1t is impracticable in the
present condition of affairs.
1t is a bad law for the masses just
now and deserves to he overwhe' med
with a storm of public protests a.
gainst its passage.

cumulate something; system direct
ly opposed to the present fifty per
cent and seventy-fve per cent prin-
cple on advances TO farmers. We
maintain that under the operation of
the present labor system, we will
never enjoy prosperity in the farm
ing regions Of the State, and the great
wonder and marvel is that a system
fraught with so much evil could con-
tinue for such long perio |. We are
of the opinion that when it becomes
apparent thatorth nern and western
capital will not come al our solicita
ton the people of the agricultural
section Of the State will be forced to
seek remedy for their ills at home,
and such remedy will be found in the
complete revolution Of our labor
system.
Eighth. While we as citizens of
Alabama rejoice in the success Of the
National Republican party, we de
clare that it is our honest wish and
desire as shown heretofore by our
hearty support of white men for eve>
ry office in the State to have the very
best relations exist between the rae
es.
We do not believe that the ap-
pointment of some coIored men to
federal positions by Republican
President will menace white civil "a
ton any more than the retention in
office Of some and the appointment
Of OF iers by Democratic President.
We honor the white men Of this
State who have SO long stood by
the principles Of the Republican
party-we will hail with delight any
policy by The Republican admins
tration Of General Harrison that
will strengthen and build up the
party in this State, to the end that
every citizen, black or white will be
protected in every righ. before the
law.

my feet and ankles were twisted out
