contending among themselves and unite in their efforts to build up our material as well as our political interests. Crim- ination and recrimination should cease. It is an easy thing to write personal and tantalizing articles about those who may differ with us, but this is not the way to convince one of error and accomplish good. There has been too much person. alty and feeling indulged in by some democrats towards others who don't full ly agree with them on financial and oth- CT matters of our national and state gov ernments. We have for some time been gently reminding some of our impulsive and indiscreet editors and other writers to tone down along this line. and we are gratifed to see many others throughout the state adopting this course.
 You may by intelligent, conservative reasoning lead men inlyour way of think ing and acting, but you can't drive them! that day has passed. On this subject that cultivated, Christian gentleman and unswerving democrat, the editor of the TCskegee News, truthfully says: To abuse your neighbor because he fails to see just as you do=o on political or reli- gious matters is neither right nor is 1t good manners. This is a free country, and every man has a right to worship God according to the dictates of his own con- science, and he has the right to use his own mind in choosing his political affili- ations. And while we do not blame men for using all honorable methods to gain men to their standards yet we deprecate the practice of newspapers and individu- als who have no kind words for persons who differ with them. Here we have the paper missing gold bug at his neghbor, and back is flung the epithet silver loon' On the financial question, about which many prate loudly, and yet, in truth, of which so little is known, our neighbors are allowing themselves to be divided, some saying, I won't support gold man if he is nominated,' and others, I won't vote for a free silver man If he is nominated.
 Fellow -countrymen, this is all but the Verest nonsense. Let us remember that the money issue is only one of the many problems the solution of which now con- front the American people, and to divide on one and fall to quarreling over that undoubtedly means defeat so far as the others are concerned If the democrats of Alabama would only exercise tolera- tion towards each other, standing to- gether on all the great principles of gov ernment agreeing to disagree on the minor details as to what sort of band cog or pulley shall be used in running the machinery, then we would remain in vincible against any enemy or combina-i ton of enemies which might arise The man and the paper whose influence goes out to harmonize this great people. now somewhat divided, will be the benefac- tors to our day and generation"

UTAH.

The republican party for thirty years has pursued the Mormons as one of the twin relics of barbarlsm. and yet we find, now that Utah has an opportunity to come into the union as a state through the friendly action of democratic con- gress. that the Mormon hierarchy call upon their church to defeat the dem- ocratie candidates, Messrs. Thatcher and Roberts. Mormonism is evidently intent upon making friends with the mammon of unrighteousness. When MT. Blaine lost New York state and the presidency in 1884 by that welcoming address of Rev. Dr. Burchard, in which the cele- brated alliterator denounced Rum, Ro manism and Rebellion the republican papers were quick to explain that MT. Blaine did not hear the words distinctly and thought that the reverend gentleman said Rum, Mormonism and Rebellion" They were afraid to denounce the Cath ollie church, but quick to denounce that Mormonism which they had been char acterizing for thirty years as barbar- ism yoked with slavery The alliteration shows what Burchard said and what he meant, and it was only after the indig- nation of the Catholics showed itself that Mormonism was selected as a scape- goat. That small wit of MT. Burchard lost the presidency to MT. Blaine. It elected MT. Cleveland and brought about everything that has followed that cleo tion in the way of fastening upon the country the peculiar ideas which have marked the two administrations of the president. From such small acorns grow great oaks. But we are digressing from the subject in hand.
 The Mormon church is now hand in glove with the republican party, and that party expects two senators from the Nor mons to overthrow democratic power in the upper house. The Utah democrats are very properly in a frame of mind over the base ngratitude of the Latter Day apostles, who are ordering their men to vote the republican ticket. So much so that the territorial convention, which appears to be a democratic body, have issued a declaration in the following spirited language:
 We, therefore, in the most solemn man. ner, say that we will not be dictated to. interferred with or hindered in our po- litical duties by those selected to min ister to us the consolation of gospel.
 The people being sovereign in this free land, to the people we make our appeal. The church being the source of mans religion, to the church we appeal when we so desire, with regard to matters af- fecting the conscience.
 We call upon the democrats of Utah. men, women and children, and all other people who sympathize with our efforts to secure political freedom, to assemble in every hamlet throughout the territory on the evening of Wednesday, october 30, in fhpiY nSnnl nlacPS Of meeting, then and there to read this declaration; to listen to such remarks as may be prop erIy made in connection herewith, and to solemnly consecrate themselves, their efforts, their property and all that they hold dear, if need be, to this cause Of human liberty.
 And this cause, with the help of the One who holds the universe in the hollow of His hand, we will ever advance and maintain

 Because the Alabama editors were not met at the depot with brass bands and escorted to the Aragon or some other equally fashionable hotel when they visited Atlanta some few have seen fit to charge Secretary Rountree as being the cause. While the State Herald thinks that with the free advertising the Alabama papers have given the exposi- ton the editors should have been met with brass bands and welcomed in a dress suit fitting speech, and that our Georgia friends acted very unwisely, even if un- thoughtedly in their treatment of Gov ernor Oates and staff, yet the press sec retary had nothing whatever to do with it. Secretary Rountree was called home from this city by telegram announcing the serious illness of his wife the even ing before the party left for Atlanta, and therefore could not chaperone them through the midway and other important places of the exposition or see that they had mock turtle soup, double-breasted steak, medium rare, hot coffee, Boston rclls, etc., and downy beds to sleep on all for being an editor.

To the State Herald:
 I take pleasure in correcting the im- pression made, as published, in my inter- view with the State Herald reporter of today.
 My language was too broad in leaving the inference that Judge Greene would hold that saloon doors could be kept wide open without a violation of the city law. The fact Is, Judge Greene holds that a saloon keeper violates the city ordinance 1. When he makes single sale on Sunday.
 3. When he Is at his saloon on Sunday for the purpose of making sales.
 3. When he keeps his door open on Sunday, whether for the purpose of do- ing business or not.
 I hold that if saloon keeper is in his saloon and answers taps upon the door and grants admittance and either gives away or sells whisky he is guilty of vio- lating the city ordinance.
