Wall street forced the Republican
party to raise the Force bill issue.
Harrison is afraid of the thing and
wants to ignore it in his letter of
acceptance. Tie money power will
not allow this. They want the
Democrats and Rel ublicans to blind
all economic and financial issues
with this one. 1t is true this force
bill business will hunt Harrison's
chances for success, but the money
power does not cool. In fact the
gold bugs would prefer Cleveland
10 Harrison, but either would be
satisfactory. Gen. Weaver is the
man the gold bugs dread. They
fear the Peoples party and its live
issues. They fear that the people
will learn their rights and their
wrongs and vote for the party of the
people. The only hope of the mon
ey power is to get up sectional
feeling and prejudice to blind the
real issues of the campaign. The
people have been reading ana ,hink.
ing for themselves. They will not
be fooled this time. They will vote
for financial reform. they will vote
for more money, they will vote fol
system that will give them fail
price for their products.

What is wealth? The pro duct of

The labor of the land. How much
of this wealth that labor made does
labor own? About One-fOurth of it.
Who owns the other three-fourths +?
The other fellows that earn their
living by the sweat of somebody

Most of it has been secured by legal
lied systems of robbery. Name
some of those systems. The con-
traction of the currency system !;
the monopoly system, in railroads,
in telegraphs, trusts, and syndicates;
the national banking system the
boards of trade system and many
other systems whose practical re-
suits are the enriching of the few

We have for some time believed
that the just and needed reforms
demanded by the people could only
be gotten by union of effort on the
part OF the South and the West.
For months it has been evident that
new political organization was
necessary in national politics to ac-
cOmplish this end. In State and
local politics this did not seem to be
necessary. Therefore we have ad.
vocated and urged the reformers Of
this State to act with the Democrat
ic party i'm State and local affairs.
In good faith the reformers of this
state decided to follow this course,
and it is not our fault that it has
become necessary to organize new
party in the State and counties.
The people have been forced to take
this action or sacrifice their honest
convictions and forfeit their own
self-respect. The Democratic ma.
chine has exerted itself to irritate
and exasperate the people. The
politicians determined to drive
enough of the reformers out of the
Democratic party to leave them in
control. They have done more than
they intended. They have driver
the rank and file of the people, tn,
laborers and wealth producers ou
of the party. They have only |
remnant of the party left. The.
are in full cont, oil and the peopl
will never trouble them any more
The politician has just realized wha
he has done. He has changed hi
tune and is now begging the peo9l
to come back. But the people ar
now at home in their own part.
and will stay.

CORRUPTION In ALABAMA

the Returns fro1l Aiaba-
mas Black 1'eit.

MONTGOMERY, All A. aug. g.
Especial Returns rom The eiec-
lions OF yesterday arr stiii coming
in slowly. aud confirm the reports
of the big majority toy Mr.. Jones,
All the early reports wtre from pop.
ulation centers which were expected
tn return maioritiks for organized
Democracy. and they did il. The
reports which have been coming In
to-day are from country precincts,
counties with few towns, aud the
news shows majorities for ko!b, but
these majorities me small up to to-
night.
The indications show that Kolb
has carried the following counties:
Pike, Tallapoosa, Chiffon, Tuska-
loosa, Butler, Etowah, Macon, Lee,
Randolph, Morgan, Marshal, Ell
more, and Chambers. The MAORI
ties for Kclb in these counties aggre-
gate 10 900. This maj jority Governor
Jones will overcome by the majori-
he will receive in two counties
Montgomery and Dallas. In Mont
gomery he, is already certain Of g.
600, and Dallas will, ii is estimated,
be safe for Jones by at least 1000.
Now the Kolb people make the
following Interesting showing. The
thirteen counties carried by Kolb
have a total white vote Of 3G.07I.
The two black belt counties, the ma
iorjties Of which will Offset the ag-
grepate majority of KoIb in these
thirteen counties, have white vote
of 4.4s9. In spite OF the concession
of his Iieutenaats of 10000 majority
for Jones, KOlb'S people have not
given up the fight and they claim
vet that their ticket is elected, but
they are going to take steps at once
to contest the election in all the
black belt counties which have re-
turned big majorIties for Jones.
In Montgomery Kolb man stood
at box keeping an account of the
number who voted. He will swear
ON the contest that only $40 votes
were cast in the box. The officers
returned a vote Of 500 for Jones and
SO for Kolb from this box. At an
other box in Bullock county, where
Gov. jones was given majority of
500, Kolb man says only 3C0 votes
in all were cast. A Kolb man tele-
graphs here from Wilcox county TO-
| day that at a box in that county
where "a vote of 345 was returned
for Jones and none for Kolb, only
40 people voted.
This is a sample of the evidence
which the Kolb people claim to have
as a basis for their contest, and
they had dozens of lawyers in all
parts of the State to tender their
services in the prosecution Of the
contests.
Much depends on the complexion
of the next legislature, and if the
ratio of to-day keeps up KUlb's peo'
pie expect to have majority OF thai
body on joint ballot.

ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT?

AS we passed a crowd a few days
since, an exuberant gush of patriotic
8 dor caused gentleman to exclaim
that "we Cleyelandites are making
a grand fight for pure Jeffersonian
democracy" and he seemed to be
sincere in his statement. Let us
see: Did Jefferson ever favor con-
troll of the currency of the country
by national banks? No. Did he
ever favor a reduction of the per
capita circulation for the purpose of
making labor cheap and the prod
ucts of labor low, so that high rate
of interest could be maintained and
the usury from money would buy
twice as much labor and products as
ever before? No. Did he ever fa-
vor the perpetuation of primogeni-
ture, directly or indirectly? No;
he opposed it; but corporate power
has re-established it. Did he ever
favor a system of finance that would
operate for the benefit of foreigners
for the enslavement of Americans ?
No. Did he ever favor the use of
money in electi ons to bribe voters
or purchase their votes? No. DID
he ever favor organizing systems
by law to build up and enrich those
engaged in particular lines of labor
at the cost and damage of agricul-
ture: No. Did he ever favor
demonetizing silver? No. Did he
ever contend for any principle an
tagonistic to the rule Of the people
for the interest of the people by the
people? No. What existing poll
cy of this government or policy
suggested by Mr.. Cleveland eithe
now or during his administration
did Jefferson favor? Not one. Ye
these people call themselves Jeffer
sonian Democrats 1t is difficult t.
conceive how they can make goot
their claim.-Alliance Herald, Ala

"A SOUTH Halter. +"

On July 2Sth THE CAUCASIAN
published the following editorial:
ga great deal is being said by
many of the papers about some
partisan and sectional utterances
made by Mr.. Weaver during and
just after the war. But we fail TO
see the point. What would we
have thought of Southern man
during those years of bitter section
al feeling who would not have used
similar expressions about the North.
The leaders OF thought and action
on both sides did the same thing,
and were applauded by their people,
and if they had done less would
have lost the respect not only of
their own people, but even of the
other side. In fact it was the most
patriotic and high-spirited that
were the strongest partisans in tn ose
times and the test of true manhood d
both North and South is now to be
able to bury all those feelings and
to join hands in great fight for the
cause of humanity, in a great fight
between the people and the enemies
of justice and liberty. They ssy
that Weaver is an enemy and hater
| of the South. In our opinion the
South has no greater enemy and
hater than the gold-bug, it has nc
better friend than the advocate OF
an honest and just financial system
Mr.. Weaver is a friend to the South,
for he is in favor of what will be to
our benefit. Idr. Cleveland is an
enemy to the South, for he favors
what will be to our dettiment. Let
US discuss the real issues. Sectional
animosity and the bloody shirt car
not be used in this campaign tt
blind economic refOrm.n
If the above is not true, if it i:
not good logic, if it is not unanswer'
able, why has not some paper re
piled to it? Yet the Cleveland pa
pers continue to reiterate their par
tisan and sectional stuff about Wea
yer being a yankee general ane
fighting against the South, about
what he did and said at that time
Where was Mr.. Cleveland while
Mr.. Weaver was on the battle fielt
doing his duty? He was at his hom'
cut Of reach Of bullets. He hired
substitute to go into the war TO
him. Which course do you respec

The Cleveland papers continue to
charge that Mr.. Weaver Is i'm favor
Of paying TO Union soldiers the def
ference between gold and deprecia-
ted greenbacks. This Is untrue, for
Mr.. Weaver opposed putting such a
plank in the Omaha Platform. But
suppose it were true, Mr.. Cleveland
is in favor Of paying the bondhold-
the difference between go d and the
