DEMOPOLIS.
MT. Pettus' Card Creates No Comments
 Silverloons at Premium.


 Demopolis, July 25.-(Special Corre- spondenee.)-Mr Pettus card to the pa- pers denying that he is a candidate for gubernatorial honors has caused very little comment in this town. Tn fact cannot recall a single expression regard ing it.
 Politics are at a dead standstill in De- mopolis just now. It's all one way so far as sound money is concerned, and that is in favor of it. I do not suppose one could muster up the proverbial cor porals' guard of silverloons in this beat. "The boys" are not talking money now. They are all preparing for the grand re- union of Camp Oracle, which is to take place here on August G.
 MT. H. A. Monnier, the indefatigable worker at everything he undertakes, has gone to work as one of the reception com mittee, and has already secured contribu- tions enough to guarantee that not sin gle veteran will leave our gates without having received the best the land af- lords. It is understood that the Demop- oils Rifles will be invited in body to the dinner, and that they will act as an es- cort to the veterans. This arrangement is peculiarly fitting and we trust will be carried out.
 A big crowd left this morning for Big bee, Ala, where they go to participate in the barbecue and tournament which takes place there today. Captain Mor- ris' baseball team were to have 'gone up'' against the Livingston boys tomorrow. but on account of the fact that a good many of the players could not get off the game was postponed. Our team is practicing every day, and on the 9th of August, when they tackle Uniontown, we may expect to see battle royal.
 Mrs. E. M. Turner and son of Greens boro spent several days in town this week.
 After pleasant visit of several weeks to Uniontown Miss Ira Welch returned home last Monday.

MT. Aldrich and the Age-Herald.

Montgomery Advertiser.
 The news comes from Birmingham that the AgeHerald has passed into the hands of new company, in which Tru man H. Aldrich has a greater or less in- terest. MT. Aldrich is a prominent re- publican, but in an interview he declares that his interest in the paper is merely business one, and that it's politics will not be interfered with. Capt. Frank P. D'Brien is to remain as manager
 As @ matter of course every democrat in the state will regret that Captain O'Brein could not manage the reorgani- zation of the property so as to keep re- publican stockholders out of it. The fact that MT. Aldrich is interested in the property, to say the least of it, cannot be of any advantage to its influence for time. But every man who knows Cap tain O'Brien we'll cannot doubt his de- mocracy, and the fact that he is to re- main as manager is guarantee that it will be democratic paper as long as he has anything to do with it. The straight forward continuance of the paper in it's old paths of party fealty will convince the public in due time that MT. Aldrich's connection with it is not for political uses.
 The paper itself says of the matter:
 "The Age-Herald, as a business enter prise, had republican stockholders in it's earlier days, who put their money into the enterprise for the purpose of building up and developing this section. They never attempted to dictate it's editorial policy. It has ever made steadfast licls for democracy; the party in the state ap- preciated it's value and has ever sought and obtained it's influence. It's history as true exponent of genuine democracy is without a blemish. The people shall always know just where the Age-H Herald stands. and it will always be found on the side of right"
 In the light of MT. Aldrich's own dis avowal of ulterior political motives. of Captain OBrien's continuance with it, and of this announcement by the paper, it strikes us that the exultation of the State over MT. Aldrich's connection is altogether premature. The latter pa- per's only chance of permanent exist ence has been to absorb or kill the older paper, and naturally it hopes that this development will forward it's design. But the State can never satisfy the public of it's trustworthiness as a democratic pa- per with its present conduct, and it is idle for it to expect to usurp the Age Herald's place as long as the latter keeps it's word. The Silverloon's stockholders will get tired wasting their money long before the company that appears to be behind the Age-Herald will surrender.

Republicans and Free Silver.

Weekly Courier-Journal.
 Harper's Weekly, one of the earliest and ab1est journals to see the necessity of reform of our currency system, has been deploring the fact that only demo- crats have had the courage to stem the tide of fiatism. Not a single one of the presidential possibilities of the republi- can side has opened his mouth on the subject. General Harrison and MT. Reed, if not unsound in the matter of finance, have said nothing more against free coinage than Governor Mckinley or Sen ator Allison On the other hand Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have fought the fight and won the vic tory so far as the democrats are con- cerned. The Weekly regrets that the republican party has no statesman of the boldness of MT. Cleveland and the expos itory power of MT. Carlisle to combat a heresy that may give serious trouble in the future.
 sThe republican party is full of free silver senators, not all of whom live in the west That there is ground for the Weekly's fear is shown by the attempt

with surprise after mature reflection. The Democrats had assumed the reigns sof. government two years before; hard times had set in with the advent of a Democratic administration, and these hard times were the necessary sequence of Republican unjust and unwise legis- latlon and of Republican extravaganza. A high protective tariff had enriched a few at the cost of the many, and the in justice of that was as apparent to req sonable men as was the payment of mill lios of dollars to steamships, sugar grow CTS and unworthy pensioners of the war.
 Then came the meeting of the Demo- cratic Congress, with arduous and deli cate work before it. In it's good sense it repealed the sherman law, and relieved the country of the inquity of Mckinley ism. The discussions and efforts which brought about these results caused di- visions, discensions and dlscontentment among the people. Then the panic of 1893.
 These were some of the burdens of the Democratic administration, which for a season darkened the way; and, added to these that numberless corps of dis appointed offlce-seekers and chronic calamity howlers, Democracy seemed for time -burdened.
 But returning prosperity dispels all gloom The wheels of practical indus try are revolving with force millions of workmen have had their wages increased 90, 15 and 20 per cent, the silver mania is dead, tariff reform is genuine in it's opera tions, and it seems that victory is sure again for 1896.

they have made to gain control of a New York daily. The paper they are after is the Mercury. This journal, which was made a daily two years ago, was bought some time back by Harvey M. La Fol lette, who paid $25,000 in cash, but failed to settle note for another payment July 1. The owners then refused to turn over the property, and litigation over it has begun.
 It turns out that the cause of the deal hanging fire was the offer of certain silver men, headed by seven United States senators, to advance money to the Mercury in consideration of it's sup porting the silver cause. The following letter accompanied contract form which specified that the money, $250,000, was to be advanced as a loan ''to insure its con- sstent policy in support of silver coin age:"
 "Confidential)
 United States Senate. Washington, D. C., -, 1S9-.-It has been apparent for several years that what the silver cause most needed was a substantial daily newspaper in the east. Those of us who have been making the fight in congress keenly recognize this need. The west is aroused. The east can be if the facts are presented to it.
 After careful and painstakng re- search. we are now prepared to ask our
 
 the restoration of silver to advance money to the New York Mercury as a loan. This paper has been established fifty-four years, and during the past two years has been issued daily. It has no debts and is on a good basis. In our judgment, it can be made one of the strongest and most influential papers in New York city, and can do the cause in- calcuable good.
 Tt is now silver paper In cOnsid- eration of the loan advanced by those in- terested in the success of the silver cause, written agreement has been made that the paper shall be non-partisan and de- voted absolutely to the cause of silver. After a personal investigation by Sena- tors Pettigrew and Dubois into every de- tail connected with said enterprise, we give it as our best and deliberate judg- ment that the money advanced will be paid back with interest within three years. Preferred stock will be issued to those advancing the money. An oppor- tunity is thus afforded to secure great daily silver paper in New York City. whose financial policy will be controlled by tried silver men.
 Tn our judgment, no one will lose a dollar who advances it. Even if we should be mistaken in this, and there should be some loss, the opportunity is so great that the risk ought to be taken.

The Very Enjoyable Lecture of Dr. J. A. B.
 Lovette.

Leeds, July 26-(Special Correspond ence.)-Dr. J. A. B. Lovette has delighted Leeds with his lecture on the Evolution of the Worlds" This lecture is decidedly new and striking.
 Whatever may be said of the truth of his theories, one thing is certainly true, that is, that Dr. Lovette is a master in the field of investigation. He has con verted geology into an sociological cy- clone, which has blown the material so far out into immensity that astronomers may employ themselves for the next. thousand years hunting for a souvenir of the Garden of Eden. But through all this bewildering geo-astro-nomical lec- ture the thoughts are sublime, the man. ner of presenting them beautiful and Gods truth, the Bible, made more beau- tiful and interesting.

 "Surely it is not pretended that Demo- crats want Democratic doctrines fitted through Republicanism, or vice-versa; that's nonsense. ."-Evening News.
 Of course, and it's nonsense for news paper that bolted the Democratic party at so late a date as November, 1894, to try to teach Democracy to the people. The Democrats of this city who remem- ber the course of the Evening News last fall are laughing heartily at it's cheek and presumption in posing now as O leader of organized Democrats.
 The Birmingham Evening News, which is now warning Democrats that it would be best to withdraw their patronage from the Age-Herald because forsooth it has discovered that a Republican is stock holder in this paper, is the same newspa~ per that was in collision with Republi- can Dr. Moseley, his usual white allies and negro followers in their successful war against the organized Democracy of Birmingham last November. Isn't that a nice sheet through which to filter Dem ocratic doctrine?" And isn't it brazen 1mpudence in that paper to attempt to advise Democrats how to act?
