The attempt of Democratic newspa-
pers to make it appear that the Republi-
can is the party of free silver and that
the country has been saved by the sound
ness of the Democracy, is as bold an en-
terprise as any newspaper ever engaged
in. Unfortunately for the success of
their scheme, there is record in exist
ence which shows exactly the attitude OF
the representatives Of the two parties on
this question. This record shows that
81 Democratic senators supported the
Stewart bill as against 10 who voted
against it, a majority for free silver of q
while IL Republican senators voted for
the Stewart bill and IS against, MAORI
ty against free silver of 7. In the House
1870 Democrats voted for free silver and
Ill against, a majority for free silver OF
90; while only u Republicans voted
for free silver, and Sc voted against ii
majority against free silver of SO. In
the light of these figures it will be seer
that the Democratic papers which have
undertoken to make it appear that the
Democracy is the party of sound money
has undertaken a pretty big job.

No doubt the candidates of the regular
Democracy in Alabama will get the GER
tificates of election, but this by no means
is conclusive proof that they are entitled
to them. The Peoples Party are conf
dent that they have really carried the
State by 10000, and that if justice were
done Kolb would be the next Governor.
The truth is that fraud is SO prevalent
in Southern elections, and resort to false
counting is so common that every intelli-
gent man at the North has ceased to re-
gard the declared results of them as at
all indicative of the political sentiments
of the people.
