letter character ziug marriage as "a
grand sweet song" is as follows:
f'when you've married Maud Muller and
settled down,
And all of her folks live with you in town;
When you've duly indorsed her papa's note,
And loaned Brother Johnny your sunday

When the brand-new trousers you haven't
paid for
Have been altered for boomers for mother
in-law,
Don't blame neutrality-suspicious. nothing
wrong;

And fill your fms with liquid bait,
And are borne pack nome IN royal state
And Maud. who's waiting there all the time,
just rolls mp her sleeves and speaks her
mind;
Don't blame matrimony-there's nothing
wrong
Grover says it's grand, sweet song.
ssWhen to bed you have put your little
brood,
And you long for innocuous desuetude;
When you see Tommy kick and yell and

And baby who's said to softly COO,
Bursts forth in a regular hullabaloo;
Don't blame matrimony-theres nothing

INGALLS, ANXIOUS TO RETURN.
He Appears TO Think He Will BE Re-
turned to the Senate.

CHICAGO, Aug. Elk Senator John
J. Ingalls, was here to day, Asked if he
would again be candidate for United
States Senator, he replied:
ut has been generally understood
since my defeat in 1891, that ii re
turned to public life, my ambition was
to begin where left off, arc resume my
old seat. There is gratifying unanimity
among Kansas Republicans in favor of
my return to the Senate, and | am sure
if they would see fl to homer me again,
l would accept it as testimonial of re-
gard, which no man could afford to de
spise, and would give to the State and
the nation the highest service Of which
I am capable"
Speaking of the Populist movement,
he said:
"Not wholly defunct, but on its death
bed; i'll with an incurable malady, its
pulse futters, its respiration is labored,
its temperature is low. The undertaken
is waiting. 1T has suffered more from
its doctors than from its disease. The
people have become convinced that Pop
ulism can afford them no relief from the
evils that af1lict modern society"

Wilmington Review
There is considerable difference of
opinion here as to the long lease of the
North Carolina r. r. TO the old Rich
mord & Danville system, the Southern
Railway The general concensus Is that
the directors were in too much of hurry
The rate agreed on, might do very well
for 30 year lease but 80 years is diff
ferent matter. Besides some think that
little bet er than ct might have been
obtained if the road had been offered to
competitors. 1t is valuable piece Of
property and although it is true that @
part of IL might be paralleled yet it
would take a mint Of money to build
another line al if the competition of
the new road wtC'3 hurt the old one the
reverse would hay1 70 be true also The
State owns large int.l est IN this road
and the people are therefore particularly
interested in whatever conceIns it.

overcome this very general impression,
which ~ f9rtunate.y prevails. The fact
canno. be overlooked or disguised that
we have not won victory in single

matter if they would. However, the plain fact remains that rather than see Cap tain Johnston governor of Alabama they would prefer to turn the state over to the combination that will oppose the party in the next election. The Advertiser helped Howard to defeat Colonel Denson in 1894 and rejoiced over it, and stands ready to repeat the act if Captain John ston is the democratic nominee. The action of that paper surprises no man who is acquainted with it's history, but better things were expected of the Reg ister, and people stand aghast when that paper unblushingly asserts that Captain Johnston could not poll lone-third of the democratic vote in Mobile county. Surely the people understand these things, and when the time comes will show time servers and. office-holders that true manhood and pure democracy. as taught by Jefferson and Jackson, is yet alive in the hearts of brave Alabamians, and, like the bhree noble patriot soldiers of the revolution that captured Andre, the spy, are unpurchasable by British gold, but are true and answering in their de- votion to this glorious old common wealth"
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-08
We Would, But You Will Not.

says the ScOttSDOrO progressive Age:
 Tt is apparent from the tone of the Advertiser and the Mobile Register and one or two other papers in Alabama, that they do not intend that the democratic party shall be united in the next campaign. They have already raised the war whoop,' and declare it to be their purpose to fight the free silver democrats to the bitter end. They are determined that Joe Johnston shall have opposition and to stir up discord and disturbance in the democratic party, let it cost what it may notwithstanding they are con fronted by the fact that nine-tenths of the democrats in Alabama are entirely satisfied with Joe Johnston as a candi- date for governor, and are willing to run him on the free silver platform, whether it agrees with their ideas or not. Because the majority of them think 1t best the minority are in favor of sac rificing their individual views for the purpose of harmony and party success. But not so with these disorganizers. They are obeying the behests of the ad- mnistration and would, no doubt, rather see the state go into the hands of the republicans than that the silver cause should triumph. These are the same or gans and the same men who were taunt- ing the silver men with disloyalty, and predicting that they would not support Governor Oates on the gold platform if he should be nominated and they were met with almost a universal expression from the people and the press that they would support Governor Oates and such a platform if a majority of the democrats should see proper to take such a course, but now. when it is a forgone conclusion that Johnston and the free silver cause is to be triumphant in the next demo- cratic convention, they are sowing the seeds of discord and preparing the way with all possible force to make his suc- cess. when he shall be nominated, as difficult as possible. They are showing their disloyalty to the party and their readiness to enter into any kind of con- spiracy. or rebellion, to defeat the will of the party. They show by their con- duct that it Is not the success of the par ty which they seek, but their own ag- grandizement. and if they cannot lead they will not follow. They will rule or ruin If they can."
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-08
Alabamians Will Be True.

The following able editorial is taken from the columns of the Sumpter County Sun:
 Alabama politics at this time present a strange state of affairs. The Montgom- cry Advertiser and Mobile Register find ing it impossible to force Governor Oates from his expressed determination not to be again candidate for governor, are exceedingly busy prophesying dire de- feat of the democratic party if Captain Joseph F. Johnston is the nominee. Of course 1t was apparent to every observ- ing man why these papers desired Gov ernor Oates renomination-it would give Ex-Governor Jones and Congressman Clarke a much better showing to be elects ed United States senator and to the Ad- vertiser great joy in defeating Captain Johnston for the governorship. Gov ernor Oates was too smart to be caught in the trap, and boldly announced his intention of standing for the United States senatorship to succeed Hon. James l.. Pugh. Captain Johnston's candidacy for governor was announced and hailed with delight by all democrats in the state who desired the success of the party. Had these papers been more in touch with the people, or imbued with that party pride which should stand above fa- voritism, they would have dessted in their warfare on Captain Johnston and submitted to the wishes of a large ma jority of the democratic voters of the state.
 To-day we witness the disgusting spec tacle of two daily papers scraping Ala bama as with a fine tooth comb trying to turn up some candidate to oppose Cap- tain Johnston for the democratic nomina- ton for governor and threatening his de- feat if nominated. Why is this? Per haps the holders of their stock or obliga. tions in the east who worship at the golden shrine could best explain the

Wants Harmony, in Horn.
the Russell Register:

Says the Russell Reg1Ster:
 "The Advertiser sees and appreciates the absolute necessity for harmony in the democratic party. It is in favor of harmony. and in support of its ideas along this line it has asserted, and of fered to prove, that the democracy would be in great danger of defeat in Alabama if such another contest as the Oates Johnston contest had to be gone through with next year.
 "Of course the Advertiser was in ear nest and meant just what it said. Its words were true. Governor Oates, like the blunt, plain-spoken man he is, says in no uncertain words that he will stand by what he said in his canvass last year. that he would not be a candidate for the office of governor again. Captain John ston has all along been considered as a probable candidate for that office next time. and he announces that whoever beats him will have to go through an- other Oates-Johnston campaign.
 No paper in Alabama appreciates thiS fact more keenly than does the Adver- tiser. Now if the Advertiser believed what it said when it said that the dem ocratic party was in no condition to stand another contest like that of last year 1t would seem that there is a lack of true patriotism if it refuses .to allow the problem Ito be solved by the unani- nous nomination of Captain Johnston.
 "Of course the Advertiser would not have the presumption to advocate har- mony with the express proviso that the Advertiser shall state the terms. If the Advertiser should pursue this sort of course 1t would show up more pure and unadulterated gall than ever Baltzell ex- hibited.

No Man Could Poll Larger Vote.

''In our estimation Capt. Joe Johnston is the man to receive the nomination for governor of Alabama. True, our party is badly split on the money question-a
 question that should cut little figure in the state election. After the nomination is made one faction or the other will have to knuckle down and support the nominee, and we might as well prepare to do it gracefully. We believe DO man could be put in the field who would poll a larger vote than Captain Johnston, therefore we hope he will be nominated"
