parts, as the sequel will show. "A

blank check, filled it in for 500 and
rendered it to Mr.. Palmer to help

Yet in the face of all these alarm ing contingencies the Evening News is cry ing that we will have to get together in 1S96 In the very act of asking for recon- ciliation two years hence it is recklessly, needlessiy, hatefully sowing all the seeds uf discord, strife and hate. In the name of gentle peace it is waging unjust, cruel, relentless and determined war. While claiming that democrats must get together, It with fetl purpose and formed design is planting dynamite and giant powder to blow the party to atoms. While whisper ing into the ear of democracy words of love, trustfuiness and smooth fiattery, it is driving it's stilleto into the victims vitals.

for illegal registration, If any has been practiced. They are guided by sworn state- me nts made them and by the best inforina- ton obtainable, but cannot possibly detect all frauds of this kind.
 By this registration list it would seem that many street aud poll tax subjects have lodged the collectors, and it is most op- portune time to swell the street improve ment and school funds. The authorities might do we'll to look after this matter at once; obtain the names and residences of all persons registered and proceed to call upon them for the amounts due the city. It may be possible that some of these patriotic citizens have overlooked the fact that their residence within the city limits and right of welding a ballot subjects them to an annual contribution to the pub- lie treasury. Let the collectors proceed with the lists.

LIVELY REGISTRATION.

The intense activity of both contending parties in the municipal campaign has swelled the city registration list to nearly 5o00 voters up to this hour. Whether all of these are entitled to vote may be ques- tionable. and there ought to be thorough sitting of the matter so that the truth may be ascertained. In the event of violation of law by illegal voting the offender, whether he be white or negro, Democrat, Reformer orwhat not, ought by the courts to be furnished with Judgment in the State peDitentiary. Such action would have a most wholesome effect, not only in Bir- n,ingham, but all over the country.
 The registrars are in nowise responsible

THE FIRST BATCH
Of Flyers in the City-Among Them Fonda, Sure Winner-The
 Races a Surety.

The first installment of horse flesh to take part in the winter race meeting which begins on Saturday. December 1, was seen in the city yesterday morning, when MT. Bevins arrived here from Lexington with 8 number of blooded horses.
 Immediately upon his arrival members of the Eoard ofdirectors made arrangements for the horses until the sta bles at the fair grounds have been repaired and put in good condition, the work upon which will begin Monday morning.
 Among this lot of horses is the little mare Fonda, which made three- quarters in 1:14 flat last winter at New Orleans, winning several thousand dollars. He has with him some other good horses which have good records and national standing. These horses will be followed by plenty of others, which will be on the ground in time to take part in the opening races.
 The committee appointed to collect the money subscribed to the sinking fund of the association had splendid success yester- day in making collections. They say that not single person as yet who has sub- scribed has been backward in paying up his subscription. They will resume their collecting this morning, and will be pleased if they have as much success today as yesterday.
 Tne money is being turned over to the treasurer as fast as collected, and those who pay receive receipts from the associa. tion.
 Several telegrams and letters were re- ceived yesterday iuquiring about the purses, now they would be paid and the exact date the races will commence.
 The scale books and numbers were re- ceived yesterday, and the advertising will probably arrive this afternoon.

Have democrats who now propose to aid in destroying the democratic party of Bir- mingham calmly considered the far rsach- ing consequences of their rash act? Are they so heated and blinded by passion that they cannot reason about their contem. plated action? Is the instinct of destruc- tion SO strong and so highly aroused within them that they will rush the party on to ruin, even though they perish politically with it? Will they allow the thousand slanderous rumors which sneak through tho streets, and which have no responsible percentage, or are too cowardly to avow their origin and descent, to influence their conduct? Will reasoning and thinking men be controlled in their opinions or have their judgments formed by the yelled hints, inuendoes and covert charges which appear in the form of rumors, or in the pages of newspapersf Will they not ask the authors or the circulators of these things to come out like brave and true mon from behind the mist and the defenses of obscurity, and make their charges openly, boldly and bravey.

It is said that after that most amiable of reptiles, the crocodile, has made meal of nice, juicy pig or fat pup he will lie upon the hot sand near the river's brink and shed copious tears in honor of the poor beast which has contributed to his repast. Just so with the reform crocodile; having used the Rev. s. H. Doyle, after making as it thought-a bountiiul feast of him, it now sheds tears because the Rev. s. H. Doyle is dead. He is not so pleasant possi- bly to the crocodile's digestive organs as he hot, burning tears that fall like rain upon the sanf~~Poof Doyle, poor crocodile. But it was ever Thus.

MT. Wa' Tx outstrips in his advocacy ot fair any democratic nominee for ofdcS sofe before the people in Als5ama. Indeed, no man has lore mag -1animously and boldly declared for right, not even the cougloTerate candidate for mayor, Mir. J. A. VanHoose, who claims a monopoly of reform. h this declaration and act Mir. Warnock clearly demonstrates who is the real reformer in this fight, and whether he is defeated or elected will have the respect and admiration of right-think- ing people. Right thinkers will sustain Mir. Warnock. They will not see such a democratic leader defeated by republicans, negroes and people who have always turned up their noses at democracy, but on the 4th of December they will cast their ballots for the true reformer-Robert War nook.

''It is reported, - said the speaker, s'that I'll close the barrooms and open prayer meetings. 1 have no idea of closing the saloons. They pay tax. and we need that now. Eight or ten of the purest aud whitest men in Birmingham are saloon men, and they have pledged me their sup port. I haven't had time to visit all the saloons, but am going to all of them. .''- J. A.

Some of the VanHoose men privately dis claim any responsibility for and condemn at the wigwam, but are afraid to do so publicly. They fear that they will thereby lose some negro votes. In the absence of public denial or disclaimer for the utter ances in the wigwam, VanHoose and his followers are responsible for the same, the meeting being held under their auspices.
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-11-24

The VanHoose crowd charge that the present administration has squandered large sums of public money, and insin uate that money has been misappropriated. Yet they have been invited by the mayor to send committee of their most competent men to inspect the books of the city, which shows where every dollar of the city's money has been used. They have failed to send their committee, preferring to repeat charge which they know to be false simply for campaign buncombe. What do honest people think of such re- formers?

;. THE Monroe Journal nominates Col. B. L. Hubbard for Railroad Commissioner. The colonel did some effective work for Democracy last summer. His campaign jokes have not yet been forgotten. If there had been more good jokes told all over the country the people would have voted the Democratic ticket, for they were in bad humor and needed pacifying.
