 NOT so.

The argument is exhausted-go to the polls next Monday, do your duty, and all will be well.-Clarke County Democrat.
 Nay, not so. The argument for Democ- racy in this country never eau be exhausted. |. Every day some new reason develops why Colonel Oates should be elected and the piebald apparition laid low forever and a day. Keep up the argument till the polls close on Monday next And if you can't think of a new one, remember the old one of devotion to good government, home and country is ever green.

 Send me circulars of constitutional amend ment for city of Birming ham, there seems to be some misunderstanding. Some say it is to disfranchise the iliterate whites and nne-tenths of the negro voters. Re- spectfully, R. W. ALFoRp.
 Riverside, Ala, Aug. l, 1894.
 1t seems ridiculous to have to contra dict lie like that. As matter of fact the Birmingham amendment simply provides that this city may levy atax of twenty. five cents on the one hundred dollars for the purpose of paying her debts, and applies to no human soul outside the limits of Bir- mingham.

THE coored people are naturally in sym pathy with the leading men of the South, and they never would have gone off into the Republican party but for the misrepre- sentations of carpetbaggers and sces awags. These political parastes instilled into the mind of the negro fear of the Dem ocrats and hence mistrusi. But that fear and distrust is now rapidly vanishing and the negro is coming back into sympathy with the men in whose hands his interests lie.l The colored people would be ingrates in- deed if they did not appreciate such efforts in their behalf as have been made by Mr. J. A. VanHoose and other leading men of Alabama. Several years ago Mr. VanHoose started school in this city for the educa- ton of colored children and has just com pleted beautiful brick church for the col ored Episcopalians. He has given 10 this work his time and means, without reward or the hope of it.

Democratic County Ticket.
I HE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of Alabama, in conven- lion assembled, reaffirm the principles of the democratic party as declared in the platform of our party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the suc- cess of those principles in the triumphant election of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that he is the president of the whole > country Knowing north, no south, no east, no west.
 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to the principles of our party, and indorse his administration of the federal govern ment. While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, we are agreed in tbe belief that he is actuated by motives of highest patriotism and by an unsel6sh de- votion to the highest good of the whole people. While there are differences of opinion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage Of silver whenever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of a sound and safe cur rency
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of inc 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks.
 We heartily commend and indorse the present administration of the state govern. ment, headed by Governor Thomas G. Jones, who has so wisely and courageously discharged his great trust, and we com. nerd bis impartial and fearless execution of the laws. -a
 We pledge to the people of Alabama continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by the election of George $. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord- nnce with the principles upon which are based the laws regulating elections in large majority of the states of this union, without regard to party, and intended to obtain st the ballot box full and free ex- pression of the popular will. We believe in giving it a fair trial, and should it fail to accomplish the end which it WAS intended 10 effect, we pledge ourselves to make such changes and alterations therein as may be necessary to effect that end.
 We pledge our party to the maintenance of a system of free public schools and to increase the appropriations for that pur- rcse whenever the financial condition of the state will permit
 The party is pledged to continue it's ef- forts 10 remove all the evils Of the present convict system, and to enact all appro- priate legislation to prevent it's working injustice to any class of our people.
 We extend a cordial invitation to all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor of inc maintenance of good government, 10 unite with us in the election of the ticket nominated by this convention.

SOME of the Populite orators right here in Jefferson county are telling the people that the school amendment is a Demo- cratic trick to disfranchise the poor man |. Monstrous, isn't it?
 In striking contrast with these stories is the Cherokee Sentinel, Kolb paper, edited by MT. Brock, the ablest Kolb ed- itor in the State. He earnestly advocates this school amendment, and quotes let ter from Captain Kolb, who himself de- clares in favor of it and his purpose to vote for it. It is non partisan question, a thing to promote the education of our chill dren, and should not be misrepresented.

Then, how unfair, how unjust to this
great body of boys and girls, to adopt
methods or studies, or to SO conduct
the schools as TO deprive this great
army of little ones of a single moment
of time, Of syllable of instruction, Of 6
single dollar of the monies that belong
TO them.
To divert from them taxes; to waste
the time of these hurried primary pu-
pills, is cruel injustice.
To divert from them taxes for the pur-
pose Of giving a collegiate education
to some 5S youth, whose parents are,
as rule, able to pay for such excep-
tional education, is rank injustice to
both the primary pupils and to tax
payers.
Under existing conditions, at least,
equity and justice suggest that If the
costly High School is to be kept up,
the 5S pupils benthted by 1t should pay
for the privilege.
In strict justice the High School prop
erty and the competent teachers there
in, could be used to better advantage
in instructing the great mass of youth
who can not so through the High
School.

There were several In the party, and a
pleasant time was experienced. The
place visited was Cannon Beach. That
portion of the coast Is about nine miles
north Of Nehalem, and about five miles
south of Tillamool1 light station. 1t is
a stretch Of coast nearly 10 miles long,
and most picturesque, surprising Clat-
sop beach In the grandeur of its nat
ural scenery. II is increasing In popu-
larity as a. summer resort, and in a few
years hotels will probability be built
there, owing to the numerous advan-
tages offered to outing parties. Trout
streams teeming with speckled beauties
that are unused TO the deceptions of
the fishermen, are plentiful. All the
government claims on the immediate
coast have. been taken, and on each a
cottage has been erected, some being
quite pretty and homelilke, adding much
10 the beauty Of the coast. Clans
crabs, tomcod and pogies are sufficiently
plentiful to delight and satisfy those
who have longing for fish diet.
