 vastated the city of New York, of which all the leading newspapers gave full account, where the front portion only of five entire floors of one of the largest manufacturing

know what the democrats are. From Maine to Texas they are ballot box suffers and thieves. Some of you say you don't know this. Everybody knows it's true. l klow 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 bal lot box stufflng. 1 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 ever been a lynching democratic sentiment is dominant. The democratic party is party of lynchers. It was democrats who stood over our mothers when the lash was ap- pfed which, with every stroke, cut the hide and caused the blood to flow down their bodies. How can a negro be demo- crat when the party has such a record as this?-S. H. Doyle. negro, at the Van- Hoose meeting.

M uNRECOGNlZED DEMOCRACY.

There were not as many 300 votes cast in the primary June last, and over 45U of them were reported from the First ward Evening News, Nov. II.
 And this, too, in face of the fact that the News, in its issue of April IS, urge the Democrats 10 register and vote in the fol- lowing language:
 Now, what is the duty of all Democrats in the city of Birmingham?
 There can be but one answer register and all candidates submit their claims 10 the Dem ocratic primary.
 The members of the Municipal Democratic Club have no longer any excuse for old ing aloof from the organization, and the News was never more confident ol anything than that they will With practical unanimity prove that their protests have not been captious and tbat they are ready to concede much for party harmony

And what a record! The police force re- duced to about twelve men duty at one time, because-of wrangle with the police commission, when sneak thieves. burglars and murderers were holding high carnival in Bir- mingham, and the lives and property of citl- zens were practically unguarded. By the way, MT. Warnock was a member of the po- lice commission. He did not aid it much,
 But all this happened when the present "unrecognized city democracy' was be- ing fully recognized" by the News, and long before it raid all those pretty things about the city democracy, when last March see?

Young men, think well before you cast your vote today. Some of you will vote for the first or second time. If you vote against the regular democratic nominee the stigma on your esoutcheon will never be obliterated. It will stain all your future political life. If the stain is ever obllterated by forgetfulness, the scar will remain, an emblem of your disgrace. A crack in fine old Dresden china can never be concealed, and single flaw causes the coin to ring false. Old meu can afford to be careless In their political affiliations, for they have nothing to look forward to; i; but young men cannot. In political life, as in the field of chiyalry, young men should be like Chevalier Bayard, without reproach.

Notwithstanding every assurance has been given the reform monopoly of fair election, notwithstanding managers and clerks have been selected from men above suspicion of fraud, the reform monopoly and it's organs, the News and the Tribune, still insinuate and cry fraud. This has been their battle cry and they are Ioath to give it up.

A CONVICT,s DEVILTRY.

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3.-George N. Harris, who is serving term in the peni- tentiary here for horse stealing and who was employed in the tobacco factory in that institution, today attacked with piece of iron pipe MT. Pleasant l.. Read, the man. ager of the press room. He dealt Read several murderous blows, and but, for the interference of other convicts at work in the shop would have killed him. Read had reported Harris for stealing tobacco.

How many shams and frauds have been perpetrated under fair namesl Some shrewd politicians and office seekers are seeking in this campaign under the fair name of re- form to cover their real designs. A similar trick was designed and accomplished in New York, resulting in the defeat of the democratic party. But even now, only a few days since, the cover is fast lifting and the bread light of truth discloses the repub- lican party in full possession and control of the city; political tricksters clamoring for aud filling offices, and many deluded peo- pie who were caught by the catchy word, reform, the object of ridicule, realizing to the fullest extent the adage "what fools we mortals be.'' Verify, these so-called re- formists know full well the value of the truth uttered by the sinful David, "Blessed is the man whose sin is covered" " Under this covereof reform is lurking shrewd, political consprators and the republican party, having for their ultimate purpose the capture of Jefferson county two years hence. Let no such men be trusted. They are in league with the republican party it may be unconscious or unwilling tools, but tools none the less. No mar $ democ- racy is ever questioned who votes the democratir ticket. Democrats, stand by the nominee eff your party.

1.-THE recent success of the Republican party in the country has emboldened its leaders to hope to restore 1t to coming to the front the same leaders who led that party in the terrible days of recon struction, and we find them appealing to the same class of voters that they, with Spencer and others of his kind, appealed to from 1868 to 1874. And in their meetings we hear the same infiammatory harangues, greeted with the same hideous yells, that we heard in those dark days, the memory of which will cling 10 us as the memory of a horrible dream. Alabama can not afford turn to power of those who misgoverned her from 1888 to 1874. It is then more i'm nortant than eyer that we should organize

THERE never was a day in the his- tory of Alabama when there was greater necessity for this organization on the part of Democrats than there is today.

The Jeffersonians, the populists, the ''reformers'' (formerly democrats) aud the republicans are all for him.

Every faction which deserts the demo- cratic party and sets up in opposition has adopted the fashion inaugurated by Kolb of claiming to be the democratic party.

MO. PACIFIC TIME TABLE.

the notice appears on page IL OF the re-
port just referred to; but later on the
the company thought better of it, and
accepted the inevitable.
We do not claim that Mr.. Ellis has
ever beea in favor of confscating rail-
road property by an unreasonable
reduction of freight rates; but he has
always been, and is now, heartily
in favor OF all reasonable and Just legis-
lation to secure proper and much
needed reduction. No living man ever
heard him say one word in opposition to
this. He has not changed one particle
upon the subject. In the state republic
can conventions he has always advocat-
ed a plank in the platform pledging the
party to enact suitable laws upon this
subject, whenever he has been dele
gate. His position upon the question
has been widely known, and still the
opposition press of the district has per-
sistently and falsely represented him as
paid attorney for the railroads from
the moment of his nomination. With
out attempting to give Mr.. Ellis any
credit for the benefits they have received
on account of his fighting the railroads,
now that he is candidate they repay
him for favors received by denouncing
him as corporation lawyer and monopo-
list. We shall see what fair-minded
people think of such tactics on election

proceeded to "size up" our people, and
classed some of our best citizens as
"fools'' and upon that classification de-
cided to ''work" them. Now that word
fool is not nice word at best, and in
the mouths of brainless people it be-
comes offensive, hence we object TO its
use as applied by these outsiders to our
own people. We would like to say to
these would-be statesmen that so far as
we have observed our people know
enough to come in.out Of the rain, and
we would remind BIr. K. that one of the
men whom he could not name without
calling him a fool and whom he was so
sure of working" is man who has
fought, worked and voted for the up
building of q government under which
as proved by Mr. KS own words he has
generally held the Office of seavenger.
Now these self-constituted statesman
may not know enough to take this
gentle hint, without.this energetic kick.
but the kick is coming, it win be deliv-
cred on the 9th of November. Friends
see to it that you put enough energy in
this kick to land these hireling into the
obscurity whence they came.
