Everybody knows it's true. know it is; that's all the democrats are capable of doing. They wanted to lynch me, but they didn't. The democrats can smell negro a mile away and will have nothing to do with him. A man who would buy your vote would hire you to burn house. The democratic record has always been in the way of progress, and the democrats have always favored slavery. The democratic party was fostered by slavery and retained itself in power by bRi- lot box stuf1ng. I hate the democratic party, you hate it, all good men despise it. I'll tell you why am in Alabama tonight. The democrats know me and fear me. Every community where there has eyer been a lynching demStratic sentiment is dominant. The demoGratic party is party of lynchers. It was democrats who stood over our mothers when the lash was ap- piled, which, with every stroke, cut the hide and caused the blood to flow down their bodies.

Beautiful and Brilliant Colors That
 Do Not Fade.
Scientific Discoveries That Tighten Labor-A Weaver's Experience in Dyeing-Carpets Where the
 Color Stays as Bright v Hs-=s
 as When New.

Within the last few years science has been ct work in the matter of dyeing, and the results are the fast diamond dyes for cotton-turkey red, pink, purple, orange, olive green, brown, etc. These dyes make colors so fast that even washing in strong soap suds will not start them. If a woman is sure to get the fast diamond dyes for cot ton when she wants to dye cotton, she will be able to dye absolutely fast non fading colors that will stay until the goods are worn out.
 practical dyer, writing in the Weavers' Herald, says: "I used to dye with roots and parks, but after all my work (and it was a tedious job) i, l was not satisfied, for the colors were hon1ely and often faded. At last 1 commenced to use diamond dyes, and the process is so simple and easy that the work is q pleasure. 1 have used carpets made of rags dyed with diamond dyes three years, and the colors are still as bright as when new.'
 Many of the diamond dye fast cotton colors are so superior to other dyestuffs that they are used by dyers everywhere, even in the big mills and the large dye houses. Imitators of these reliable dyes may clai n that their cotton dyes are ''just as good. ' but practical tests prove that the diamond is the only kind that makes colors which soap will not wash out or sunlight fade. The diamond dyes come In nearly fifty different colors, for silk. wool and cotton and will dye anything, from pair of stockings to dress or cloak.

What do the self-styled reformers expect to gain beyond laying predicate for the cry of fraud by their impertinent and iu qnisitorial ''house to house" canyass? Does it not appear highly chiva1ric for the Don Quixotes of reform to be ringing door bells and plying ladies with questions con- corning the political opinions of their hus- bands, brothers and friends? Have they so soon forgotten that this very style of can wasting was provided for in the odious and hated force bill, and this very provision was denounced as the most tyrannical and hateful of all the many hateful and tyran- nical provisions of that measureY It is bad enough for the tax gatherer in the discharge of a duty necessary, but unpleasant, to hunt men for the purpose of getting their unwilling contributions to the much needed revenues of the government; but it is passing strange that white men will harry their neighbors and poke their in- quisitive, prying noses into other peoples affairs.

A contemporary says that from entrance to exit it is the most inter- esting exhibition, or more properly speak, ing, exhibitions, ever presented American audienc-, Its many wonders never seen with any other shows, and ihe' universal excellence of the performance accounts for the great success that has attended the years before the public of the world.
