Birmingham state herald., 1895-11-01

Was rather too much for me. Broke, broke, broke,
 1 list to the sad refrain | Iimargfned once, l margtned twice, l But 1 never will margin again. The Anniston Hot Blast of yesterday
 is an eight-page quarto gotten up in ex- cellent style. It is an exposition edition | and represents Anniston in first-class style.
 The State Herald is really a very de cent newspaper and now reads more like a newspaper than a campaign flyer. 'Where there is life there is hope" Is an old saying and true one.-Ozark Star. Why certainly, dear Joe, "where there is life there is hope" and when the mar | riage bonds between newspaper editors and postoffices are set aside by divorce proceedings the public hopes for that old time free expansion of opinion. But not | until then.
 The News does not toot it's horn great deal, but right here we would like to call attention to the fact that the News published President Cleveland's Atlanta speech in full just twelve hours ahead of any other Mobile paper.-MobiIe News. But don't you think your belated con- temporaries showed better judgment by feeling the pulse of their readers before pouring the whole dose down them in rather an unexpected manner. Discre- ton, we are told, is the better part of valor.
 The State Herald said Bankhead made a bowling speech. Now we've known Bankhead many years and have heard him crate, but never heard him howl. He's not that kind.-Montgomery News. The word howl" "Sanday," was in quotations. Sam Jones says "it's the hit dog that howls," and to make the appll-
 cation apply to speakers Captain Bank head in some instances has been unable to run up against some fellows, and therefore the word howl for the present is obsolete.
 The cause of sound money is sweeping the country like a prairie fire, and the policy of the present administration will be indorsed in the next presidential elec- tion.-Ozark Star.
 It Is all owing to your Interpretation of the meaning of sound money. If you mean the unlimited coinage of both gold and silver without charge for mintage, we agree with you that "sound money is sweeping the country like a prairie fire," but if you mean that the single gold standard is sound money then you are off your base muchly.
 Senators Morgan and Pugh have A list of appointments to speak in Alabama during next month. If they have not changed their tunes very materially they will be of no great service to the democ- racy.-OZark Star
 Does the Star want our Alabama Sena- fnr fO
 make music in harmony with John Sher- mans fiddle? They will pick a gourd banjo many days hence before they do It and leave to their democratic constitu- ents to decide between the modern demo- cratic-republican quadrille and the old fashion reel On with the dance. The Selma Times thinks the sentiment
 Is growing throughout the state to ad- init former democrats into the party pri- maries. It says:
 There is growing sentiment through out the state to admit to the democratic primaries all those former democrats who will come back and pledge themselves to vote the regular ticket at the August election. The Advertiser and papers of it's way of thinking claim that this is an effort to break up the democratic party by destroying its discipline, etc. Just after the war, when the Old Bald Eagle of the Mountains was elected governor, great stress was laid on the democratic and conservative party. Why was the word Conservative italicised and cap- italized from every stump and in every editorial? Was 1t not to conciliate and bring back those who had gone off after strange gods? Why not mix little con servatism with the politics of the present day? It might relegate to the rear some of those who have dominated state pol itics for the past few years, and there is where the shoe pinches. Othello's occu- patton would then be gone. The papers that have been criticising so much dis cord would then have nothing to harp upon Every wayward democrat return ing to the old fold would strengthen the party with by four to six votes-as most | of them have sons who think as their fathers do We shall await with interest | the action of the executive committee. Congressman Bankhead reached the city last night and is spending the day here To a, Times reporter he stated that the object of his visit was merely to see his constituents and pass few hours with them, as he has nothing in partic- ular on his hands till congress convenes. The colonel is looking extremely well and expresses the firm conviction that when the national platform shall have been adopted all democrats will be found
 
 | of the differences that may now exist among the brethren. The colonel goes to
 Eutaw this evening and will spend Thurs | day at that place.-Tuskaloosa Times. Captain Bankhead reminds us of Gen.
 Bob Toombs in his speech before Tam
 many. It was directly after the close of the war and sectional feeling had not abated. In one of his periods he raised on tiptoe and exclaimed: Any man who says the south was whipped by the north is al liar! And if can't prove it you may
 kick me out of townv Hang the trai- tori" went up and down the line. Catch ing the feeling he created he exclaimed again in equally as high tone: q re- peat: the man who says the south was
 whipped by the north is liar! We sim
 ply wore ourselves out trying to whip you!' The Captain has actually worn himself out trying to catch up with MT.
 Clarke, and has at last given up the
 chase and will rest among his home
 friends until congress meets. I
