 Cody smiled pleasantly when the massive
 crowd cheered him.
 It's all a campaign eanard about the
 silver craze being dead" It's just gone
 up salt river a snipe hunting.-W
 Siftings.
 You are mistaken, brother. Those who
 have the "silver craze" are hard-working
 citizens, who obtain their living, as a
 rule, by the sweat of their brow. There
 are very few hunters or fishermen among
 them
 The Baldwin County Times thinks the
 people are going to take a hand in the
 next election. The country is safe when
 the people rule:
 The politicians might just as we'll un- derstand now as any other time that theA
 people are going to take a hand in the
 next election, and every candidate will
 be required to tell just exactly where he is at.'"
 Since Hon. Oscar Hundley has went 1. to dinner and Gen. Joe Wheeler waved hisdantern in front of the trains, is it not
 time for Judge William Richardson to make some distinguished ?"-Mor- gan County Herald.
 According to reports Judge Richardson is playing ever and anon to distinguished audiences in north Alabama and his music reads "Bimetallisms'' supported by chorus of more than three-fourths of the citizens of the Tennessee valley. Says the TuskaIoosa Gazette: Just what effect the recent order given by MT. Carlisle to close the hints to the coinage of silver dollars will have is hard to say. Our understanding all along has been that no silver worth mentioning was being coined and we can see no sense in the order coming like it does at this date. What good will 1t do any way to stop the coinage of silver dollars since the certificates can be issued against | the bullion as we'll as the dollars coined ? l The policy to redeem all this silver money | in gold is where we think the loose screw | is located, and we cannot see how MT. l Carlisle's order is going to remedy this '' The Demopolis Express pays the fol | lowing high compliment to Miss Margaret | O'Brien and her prospective paper: l Miss Margaret OBren, the talented l authoress and journalist of Birmingham l who is well known throughout the lanC as the authoress of "Judith," and espe | cially we'll known in.this section from hel | work on the Age-Herald is soon to star | a society paper in Birmingham that vii | be a novelty in this states journalism l We learn that the paper will be about the l size of Puck, and will be profusely illus trated. We look forward with muci | pleasure to the arrival of the initial mum | Der of this new venture, for we are sure l that 1t will be filled with valuable ant 1 pleasant matter for the numerous readers I who will hasten to secure it."

 l The State Herald certinly would mol l expect the golden-haired pretty girls tC 1 rally to the support of silver candi 1 date. But laying all jokes aside, MT | Jones would do honor to the Eighth dis | trict.-Morgan County Herald. 1 It is going to take the support not only l of the golden-haired lassies, but the sill l very headed men who followed Lee ant l Jackson, and democrats of the old schoo l to reclaim the democracy in Alabama l and 1t cannot be done by a ring in tht nose or ring at the capital. | al tbf l Greensboro Watchman, has at last growr 1 tired of this Twill have to run anyhow l talk. Listen:
 l ''The Montgomery Advertiser quotes 1 approvingly in it's Some Political Talk 1 column the remarks of gentleman tc l the effect that Governor Oates will just | have to stand for renomination for gov | ernor next year whether he wants to or l not and puts it on the ground that it's "a duty he owes the party" etc., and such stuff as that. We belong to that l class who, while appreciating Governor 1 Oates worth and ability. believe the sue l cess of the democratic ticket in this state l is not dependent upon his running fo1 l anything. If he does not want the gov. l ernorship, let him step down and give l some other equally as worthy democrat l an opportunity to gratify his ambition | There are scores of them in Alabama l The Advertiser will find out after awhile 1 that the "common masses of the common | people" have no patience with this twill l have to run anyhow talk"
