ground or pretext, and the far-felched falsehoods upon which it is based.
 Another accusation is made In a recent issue of the Advertiser to the effect that MT. Pngh and myself were pledged, by remark of his, made iu a caucus of the democrats of the senate, to vote against the house tariff bill, unless 1t was amended Tn the senate. This statement is also ut terly false. On the contrary, MT. Pugh agreed with me, and so stated in the eau GUS, that we would vote for the house bill, known as the Wilson bill, whether it was or was not amended in the senate.
 Another falsehood from the same source, which has been often repeated, Is that charged that the convention that nomi- mated MT. Cleveland was corrupted by the use of money. The speech in which this statement is alleged to be verified has been published and circulated in Alabama by thousands of copies. It is not before me. did not come to Alabama as to an ene- my's co intr purpostd 10 meet attacks from am mbascades, and did not suppose that the general assembly would be invited to put me on trial for my political life. In this communication l cannot find room, within proper limits, to show the injustice and fall cy of that charge. l shall, there fore, only enter my oeaial Of auy utter ance by me in the senate or elsewhere that could be justly construed into an assault upon the honor of the democratic party. l know of no reason why should belong to or remain a member of a corrupt party, nor have l found in the history of that grand organization any reason to doubt the purity of it's purposes Or the wisdom of ts creed. If sometimes unworthy men adhere to the part for selfish purposes, like barnacles on a ship, they may retard it's progress though they may not alter it's course. h such case it is no harm if democrat who wants his party to keep pace with the peo- pie, 80 as to provide them with good gov ernment, should object to having the will of democracy smothered by private and personal interests, whose advocates were as much at home in the republican party as they could possibly be in the democratic party. If this is an offense against our party, l have offended only to this ex- tent. Respectfully,
 JOHN T. MORGAN.

THE DRE1BuND INTACT.

BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-The Cologne Gazette prints long reply to the article which appeared in the London Standard on No vember 16 analysing the position of Ger many in Europe and de fining the relations of the dreibund to England. The Gazette denies the assertion that the dreibund is dissolving because Italy thinks England's help is needed On the contrary the dreibund is firmer since Eugland's maneu- vers. The fact is that the Anglo German relations have become very much worried of late. Germany, the Gazette declares, will not endure England as an obstacle in her colonial policy. England knows that Germany has the strength and will prevent any such actions

 voices in the hall and his suspiclons were aroused but he quieted his mind with the idea that the young man was far away in Camden and fell off to sleep again.
 This morning he found the oung lady all right, and at 5 clock they went to the union depot to take the Mobile and Bir- mingham train. Unknown to MT. Farley the young man, whose name is J. E. Afford, came to the city last night and had talk with the young lady in the hall.
 
 waiting room and going to the lunch room drank cup of coffee. During the four or five minutes that he was absent MT. Afford drove up in hack and Miss Duggan took a seat by his side.
 Whom MT. Farley returned the bird had flown and had left no signs of its flight. The young couple have not yet returned to the city, and it is supposed they drove to Summerfied, where probably the knot was tied, and then perhaps went through hn nrfr fO Ca nd
 Both of the young people are we'll con- nected, and there was no objection to the match except the youth of both parties.

A RING ROMANCE
Baltimore SUM

A Michigan Judge has render
ed an interesting decision in re-
gard to the ethics of engage
ments. George Rose, of A1pena,
was engaged to Mamie Gage and
he gave her a diamond ring to
bind the bargain. After awhile
they quarreled and lie demanded
the return Of the ring, but, like
a sensible and practical girl, she
held on to the spoils of love.
Then he instituted suit for it,
but when the case came to trial
the Judge asked George if Mamie
had submitted. to his kisses and
caresses, and George admitted
that she had On the strength of
this, says a dispatch from Alpe-
na, the judge dismissed the suit,
holding that kisses and caresses
were a legal equivalent for pres
ents-a most righteous decision,
and one that is likely to put a
stop to filtration FOUNDERS like
George, who attempt to make
one ring do for an indefinite
number Of years.
