 The campaign in Alabama which has just closed has been a very bitter one. Owing to recent changes in the election laws the republicans refused to nominate a ticket and the contest was between the demo- crats and populists.

 The following ringing silver plank was adopted by the Michigan repub- licans in their state convention held July 31: "We believe in the use of gold and silver as money metals, to be maintained in circulation on a perfect equality and interconverti- bility. We recognize the so called silver question as one of the para mount issues of the day, and believe that the people of this state can and do look to the republican party as the only party that can give a wise and adequate solution of the problem. We, therefore, pledge the republican party of Michigan to use every effort in its power to restore silver to its historic position in the United States as money metal. We pledge this in the beliei that permanent prosperity will not be assured or justice done, until silver takes its place by the side ol gold as one of the money metals ol the world"
 Thomas Jackson, an ex-employe of the A. X P. railroad, has now been in jail thirty days for contempt of court in connection with the strike. Two others engaged with him have served their terms of ten and thirty days respectively. Jack son is not a criminal. Whatever mistake he made was one of the head more than of the heart, and while his act might have been construed under the circumstances, as con tempt of court, we are satisfied that no contempt was intended by him The Court which adjudged him and imposed the sentence upon him, ha: the power and authority to modify the order. It would be a gracious act on the part of Judge Hawkins now to modify the order reducing the term of imprisonment of Jack son to such an extent as would per init of his release, and the sugges ton is respectfully made to Hi Honor. The majesty of the law snc the dignity and honor of the Couri have been fully vindicated. Jackson has already served over thirty day' in jail, while he has lost his posi- ton, and his punishment has cer tainly been sufficient to satisfy th' demands of justice.
