Here you are. An Associate Press
dispatch just after election says:
Since it has been demonstrated
that the Democratic party is so badly
divided everywhere, especially on the
currency question in the south, Dem
ocratic leaders in Alabama, where the
State campaign, which will culminate
In the State election next August, is
on the eve of opening, are seriously
considering the advisability of stop
ping all discussion inside the party of
currency and turning their attention
to reuniting the Democratic party for
the coming contest
This dispatch was from Alabama,
and referred to a conference held be-
tween Senators Morgan and Pugh and
other prominent silver Democrats of
the south who have been making a
vigorous campaign for free silver. But
like many other pretended silver men
in the party they regard principle as
subordinate matter.
Democratic silver men must either
pull down their signs or get out of the
party. The wholesale defeat of the
Democratic party renders all talk OF
reform inside the party" useless
Even II the party were not
divided against itself there would
be no hope of its CARRYING
out any measure at all. The
people have lost all confidence in its
professions and would not give it an
| other chance though it declared by all
the angels in heaven that it stood
solidly in favor of free silver and all
other great national reform principles
The gold-bugs of the east prefer the
Republican party, and the true silver
men are thoroughly disgusted with
Democracy. The Democratic party
has been driven from the field in con
fusion. Neither gold-bugs nor silver
men can endorse it's vacillating, uncer
tain, cowardly policy. East, west, nortf
and south the Democratic party is :
wreck. One kind of a Democrat can
not be distinguished from another il
the general mass of obliteration. Th,
very name Democrat has become a dis
grace in the eyes of the people. Com,
out from among them, if you wish t,
stand up for principle. Do not cal
yourself a Democrat any longer. unles
you wish to take chances of bein,
buried alive in the same grave witt
the dead.
The prostitute press dispatches an,
machine editorial writer's made a g-ea
noise about the Farmers Congress" a
Atlanta declaring against silver. Will
it would not have been surprising 70
the farmers by appointment VIII
composed that congress to have take
such action, the fact of the matter /
that they did not make any such decla

following resolution was adopted
Resolved, That we favor the free an
unlimited coinage of both silver an
