Birmingham state herald., 1895-10-25

We don't suppose that the News man had his minds eye on Editors O'Neal and Coleman when he wrote the above.
 There is a man in Mobile named Dam- rich. There are numbers of them up north who are not named that, but they are that just the samer'-Montgomer News.
 Yes. and they have Damrich way of scattering some Damrich broadsides in order to control the votes of some people who are not so Damrich.
 "A Montgomery newspaper apologies for the showing Bankhead made by say ing Clarke followed him andathus had an advantage. But next time says our es teemed brother, Bankhead will follow C1arke.-Eufaula Times.
 From the way things look now, MT. Bankhead will have to follow MT. Clarke to Washington before he can catch up with him again.
 Why don't some of the cranks raise a kick about the profit made by the govern ment on the l cent pieces? They are said to cost but s1 per 1000, as purchased in the form of blanks. The government stamps them and makes 1000 per cent Montgomery News.
 
 besides we have enough on hand locally to kick such silver cranks @ as Morgan. Pugh, Pettus, Cobb Stallings, Robbins, Bankhead, Johnston, Wheeler, etc.
 Editor Barr of the Florence Gazette thinks Senator Morgan should "educate" himself upon the attempts to "educate" the people. The Gazette has very little patience with our five, very contrary con- gressmen:
 'It is stated that Senator Morgan is going to begin campaign of education in Alabama at an early date. If he will educate himself as to what is best for his people, it will be more than he has been doing of late. He will learn, no doubt, to his astonishment, that they do not want free and unlimited coinage of silver and that they propose to stand by the president and indorse the administra- tion at the next state convention, the op- position of our two senators and five or six congressman to the contrary not withstanding. The senator should mingle with his people and acquaint himself with their necessities"
 "The article referred to by the State Herald did not appear in the editorial columns of the Times-News. It was clipped from some exchange and through
  Herald knows that we never advocated any such foolishness We have time and time again stated our position on the money question, and do not deem it necessary to say more than that we are in favor of sound money as advocated by the Democratic party-the same poli- cy so ably defended by President Cleve- land and Secretary Carlisle. ."-Gadsden Times News.
 The State Herald regrets that it was mislead in the matter by the failure of the Times-News to give proper credit However we hope no injury may result to the Times-News from the occurrence. nor that the mind of the general public become so befoddled that they may not be able to view the great question in- telligently.
 The Eufuala Times makes the following criticism on the O'Neal-Coleman duel, which is too sensible to be passed un- noticed:
 'Why two men of any calibre what ever, much less two editors who ought to have sense enough to know better, should waddle about loaded down with guns is an inscrutable thing to us. But such things be. Just Monday, Editors ONeal and Coleman of rival publications in Huntsville pulled their guns on each other and emptied their pistols. Forum ately, they were such miserable shots as to hit nothing at all but the empty atmosphere, and some people were cruel enough to observe that the air was even unpunctured. so miserable was the aim of the shooters. They said Coleman and O'Neal could not hit the atmosphere. And that is the gratifying feature about it. Perhaps they had never shot pistols before. We hope not. And we hope that they have shot their last time, too. It is cowardly for any man to carry a pis- | tol, but for an editor, for man supposed | to have some sense and some decency, 1 it is ineXcuSa ble."
