A VAIL OF DISTRESS.
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS APPEAL TO
cLERGYMEN FOR ASSISTANCE. ~

Politicians Have Lost Their Influence
with the Masses-The Campaign In Mis-
souri, and Illinois-Indiana Apportion-
ment.
BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 31.-Populist and
Prohibition preachers all over Alabama
are showing around with great glee a
letter recently sent out by the Demo-
cratic state campaign committee to all
the preachers in the state. They inter
pref it as Macedonian cry, and it has
given new life to the opposition. A
Prohibition preacher has already sent it
to the national organ, accompanied with
a scathing reply on the immortality of
Democrats. The letter is on the letter
head of a Democratic campaign COM
mittee, whose headquarters are in this
city. 1t is as follows:
REVEREND AND DEAR SrR-I take the liberty
of addressing you, not as minister of the Cos
pei, but as good citizen who is deeply inter-
ested in the welfare Of our people and in their
moral elevation. Many of our good
people have broken away from the great body
of conservative citizens and gone after teach
ers Of strange doctrines and dangerous poll

of nothing so effective and certain as the Cody
counsel and advice of ministers of the Gospel.
know that it is delicate matter to call upon
you to do work which is generally regarded as
inconsistent with your holy calling. /, how
ever, do not so regard it. l believe that the
influence of the Cody men of this country
could not be better employed than in uniting
the political power of citizens in behalf of
good government, because good government
fosters the church and advances the cause of
Christianity. / therefore appeal to you, in the
most earnest and solemn manner, begging you
to use every effort consistent with your high
and sacred calling to bring our people together
in the support of the most eminent living ex-
FOUNDER Of the true principles and correct
policies of our government.
If / have overstepped the bounds of pro-
priety in thus addressing you, 1 beg you to for
give it. A most earnest desire to avail myself
in the conduct of this campaign of every
possible good influence to reunite our people
and make them strong in the support of good
government is my only excuse. Politicians
and officeholders generally have lost their
power and are no longer accepted as teachers
Of correct doctrines. With profound respect
and reverence, ! am your most obedient serv-
ant. Q. M. SHELLEY, Chairman.

mlssaI OF the CRIMINAL case against him
in the Albany court on Oct. "a. The
case was the one brought by the Demo-
cratic national committee, through its
subcommittee, charging Peck and his
stenographer with destruction of some
of the records of his Office. When
It was called in the court on Oct. "a, the
prosecution, knowing the falsity Of its
charge, did not even appear, and the
case was dismissed. This shows the I'M
Just and false character of the attacks
which have been made on Mr.. Peck and
his report.

said, 1--WE don't expect to elect Weaver, and
don't believe that Weaver expects 30 be
elected; but we do expect to throw the election
into the house Of representatives" The

A Democratic victory in the states
which they must now carry in order to
elect president would also insure them
enough new senator's to reverse the pres
emit slender majority in the United States
senate. If they elect a president this
time they will clearly have both the
house and the senate, too, and will thus
be placed in absolute control for the first
time since 1859, with nothing to prevent
their carrying ont the threats they have
made against both the present tariff and

Is He Honest or Nota

We are told that their. candidate
neither believes their platform nor
would dream of carrying it out, and
that therefore there is no danger. We
put no such aspersion upon their candi-
date. To hold the nomination under
such circumstances would be an act not
emily Of treachery to the party whose
standard he bears, but of folly besides,
since the country could not help seeing
that an effort was in progress to deceive
It as to either the policy of the party or
the purpose of the candidate. - White
