These are white men like yourselves.
From now henceforth and forever the

THE DEMOCRATS WARNED.
"Let them try the old game in No

Such denunciation OF Democratic
election methodsNin the south, such
menace to Democratic supremacy in
Alabama was never before Numbered
in the ears Of white Democrats from
the lips Of one who had been born and
bred among them and never voted a
Republican ticket in his life. 1o.mor-

DEAD AGAINST CLEVELAND.
The next days meeting was even
more notable. 1t brought to the front

nominee for governor; who claims to
have been elected by $1,000 majority,
which majority was overcome by fraud

General Weaver and President Harri-
son. The only instruction OF any sort
put upon them was resolution con-
demning Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy as a
conformation of the fraudulent methods
by which the general Democracy OF Ala
bama has for years maintained its
power, and by the fragrant exercise of
which, in the recent August election,
the Jeffersonian Democracy was robbed
of all the fruits OF its successful cam
paign.
The purpose Of the joint convention
to defeat at all hazards the Democratic
national and congressional ticket was
shown at every turn. Yesterday, when
speaking OF the threats made against
the leaders of the movement by the
regular Democrats, Chairman CASTOR
said: "They tell us that our action will
result in giving the state to Harrison"
well, let her 60" shouted half the
delegates in chorus.
To-day, in speech to the convention,
Captain Kolb, the counted-out candi-
date for governor, said, after the nomi-
nations had been made: Il need
scarcely to tell you. gentlemen, what We
pose OF defeating Mr.. Cleveland and the
Democratic candidates for Congress,
and if you all agree with me on this
point want you to show it by standing
up in your places" The convention
rose at once in mass amid great cheer
ing, leaving no doubt whatever as to its
final severance OF all relations with the
organized Democracy, state and nation

With unpledged electors, all hostile
to Cleveland, aud ready, if elected, to go
to Harrison il necessary to defeat the
Democratic nominee; with platform

in which is demand for "a free vote
and a fair count" and congressional
ticket which, if chosen, will help to pre-
vent Democratic organization OF the
house OF representatives, there ia no
possible obstacle in the way OF an in
dorsement of to-day's convention by the
Republican committee. There can be
no doubt that the Republican party OF
the state will enter at once, and heart.

ton Just formed, and that it will do all
that is possible for the success OF the
Lake View Park ticket.
REPUBLICANS WILL JOIN.
Chairman Moseley, OF the state COM
mittee, United States District Attorney
Parsons and all the other leading Re.
publicans now in this city express
themselves as being thoroughly salts
fed with the ticket nominated by the
Kolb aud Peoples party managers, and
they say chat the Republican organiza-
ton OF the state will go into the fight
for the election OF the joint nominees
with alacrity and enthusiasm.
A small section OF the Republican
party, led by one Stevens, negro
ofice-seeker, is expected to assist the
Cleveland Democrats by attempting to
put into the zelda straight-out Repub-
lican electoral ticket, but the success of
to-day's convention and the marked i'm
preston it has made throughout the
state have already had their effect
upon doubling Republicans, and in
week or two all attempts at starting
straiSht-out Republican sideshows will
be reduced to basis "ot revenue only"

tory to the Republicans were put on the

The Congressional ticket, on the other
hand, was given over largely to the
