rHB s1rUArIoN CLEARING UP.

The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday published the following interesting inter view with Mir John w Tomlinson, mem Der of the national free coinage demo- cratic campaign committee:
 '"The political situation is clearing up and assuming definite shape In Alabama, with good prospects of democratic har- mony and success. Yes, Joseph k. John ston, in response to urgent demands from democrats from all parts of the state, has authorized the announcement that he would be a candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for governor and the democrats of Alabama are almost unan- imous In the belief that Johnston is the man to lead the democracy of Alabama in unbroken ranks to victory next year. In fact ever since the last state conven- tion the nomination has been conceded to him."
 "Is Governor Oates a candidate for re- nomination."
 "No, Gov.Oates is not a candidate. He has said repeatedly, both before and since his nomination, that he would not be a candidate for renomination, but is can didate for the United States senate. l was in the convention that nominated Oates for governor and heard him say Tn a speech that it was in the third race he had won the nomination, and who could tell but that the same thing would be true of Joe Jc<nston. That night the Oates delegates mingled freely with the Johnston delegates, assuring them We are for your man the next time. The next time has come and they are true to their word. Johnston, as was his duty as a democrat, took the stump for oates and democracy triumphed."
 twill there be any one to contest Wlth Johnston for the nomination.?
 Ut looks now as if there will not. The democrats of Alabama realize that an- other hot contest like the one two years ago would not tend to strengthen the party"
 'Is there any danger of Alabama going like Kentucky"
 "No. Alabama lying along side of Mis- sissippi and the same conditions exist ing, will go as Mississippi went. The de- feat of the democratic party, for many well known reasons, would be more dis astrous in Alabama than in Kentucky and the people of Alabama thoroughly recognize this fact
 "How about the financial question in Alabama?'
 "Tn will be fought out on high and dignifed plan. without personal abuse and the views of the majority will pre- vail and the minority will, am sure, like good democrats acquiesce and give hearty support to the nominee.

WEAKNESS OF THE PoPUL1sTs.

Under the above head the New Orleans Times Democrat has the following to say:
 "One of the surprises of last Tuesday election has been the almost complete dls- appearance of the populist party Ihat party being based so largely on nara times and depreciated prices, and being com posed mainly Of calamity noWlers, .,. It ", e' natural to expect that 1t would very ma terially increase It's votes with business still more or less uncertain.
 "The democratic losses are largely attributable to the hard times; ana II was expected that these losses would re- suit to the benefit of the popullsts. II was natural to suppose that disSatls- fled voter who believes that the demo- cratic party which he has hitherto sup norted is responsible for the present de- Dression. and who wishes to give It d warning would vote the popullst tlcke' instead of the republican ticket; especial ly as the platform of the popullsts prom ises to restore better times.
 aWhen 1t came to the voting, however those explanations were doomed to dis appointment. The republicans receiVeo all wandering votes; and the popullsts have not only gained nothing from the depression, but they seem to nave actus'i- Iv lost votes. In Mississippi, they are de- cidedly weaker than they were year ago and this result is not attributed to inc improvement in the price or cotton hut rather to the disintegration ana m herent weakness of the new party II shows signs of early dissolution Tn a number of the states. In lnulana, TOT III III stance. where. at one time, the party was strong. it will disband at once. The lead- CTS have decided that there Is no future for populism in Indiana, and that IL Is a mere waste of time, money ana energy for them to carry on the campaign there The secretary of the state central com mittee has resigned and the other mem bers promise to follow his example. The Indiana populists declare that there IS a nrobability that the populist national committee will also give up the hght This story Is doubtful, and IS propaoly presented to excuse their own acuon hut even if the national committee holds on. it is evident that the populist party IS not as strong as 1t was a year ago. ana IS on the decline; and it must be recognized hv all that if the party grows weaker, III the present condition of affairs, which ought to be favorable to its growth and to help it politically, it will have very noor outlook in times of prosperity.
 .Srhe exclamation of the failure of the ronuljsts to increase their vote seems to he that the American citizen does not like what the politicians call firing 'blank cartridge votes.' He does not want to throw his vote away, ana 1T ne will not cast 1t for the democratic ticket, ha nrefars to vote the republican ticket instead Moreover, the changes and re- forms which the populsts promise, are not sufficiently attractive to the discon- tented voter, and do not strike him as practicable. It can be predicted with the greatest certainty, from the result Of last Tuesdays elections, that no matter whai the political situation may be next year the populists will poll smaller vote than in 1892"

THE LAND OF PROMISE.

In summing up what MT. Edward Att kinson tells the,north he found on his re- cent trip to the Atlanta exposition the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
 MT. Atkinson found in Charlotte, N. C.. all the processes of cotton production, from the picking of the bolls in the field to the spinning of yarn and the manufac- turing of cotton seed oil and oil cake. In connection with the oil mill were huge sheds where cattle were fattened on the remnants of the cotton seed for the north ern market. One mill last year fattened 2O00 Texas cattle and for future fattening a better grade of cattle are being bred in the mountain districts.
 "In another place he saw complete cotton mill of the latest type. glazed with fine ribbed glass and run by electricity supplied by water power. He saw the gradual development of the negro into a necessary factor In southern industry. and under conditions which promise a satisfactory future for the race. This view of the case was emphasized by a visit to the negro building In the exposi- tion and by conversations with leading negroes
 MT. Atkinson also found evidenns of a great advance in farming in the south.

SOMETHING
HOGAN.
OUR LETTER BOX.

To the State Herald:
 It gave me so much pleasure when I read Governor Oates speech at Chick amauga, as printed in the daily papers, that l could not forego re-reading 1t in the pamphlet form, in which 1t now ap- pears. It Is difficult for any but practi- cal critic to give reasons In detail for what pleases him, but there Is evidence of manhood in the speaker and truth in his statements which appeals with pecu- liar force to us all. There is less than the suSual appeal to rhetoric in the sen- tences. There Is also lack of that beau- tiful word painting which Is so attract i've to women, especially of the Cuba Grey order. The speech Is short, not a word too much, none to spare. but there is pithness in 1t, added to courage in the speaker. who. while so many were en- deavoring to conceal the truth, pro- claimed 1t. The part taken by Colonel Oates in the battle itself Is plainly told and without varnish, neither does he spare Polk for his delay in making his attack at an earlier hour. Interesting as this account is, it Is in his causes of the war that the colonel rises to a plane of dignity unique and seldom heard on fra ternal caSions. He attributes the causes to that pernicious spirit in the Puritan character which assumed to think for others, who in pharasaical spirit thanked God that they were not as other men," They undertook to med dle with the affairs of the Cavaliers, who were generous, brave people and dis posed to mind their own business" It was "an aggressive fana aticism meeting brave and reckless defiance" In which shorthand way of comparing these two characters, if the colonel is not precisely correct, he has certainly struck the south ern notion of it.
 The colonel does not believe that the freedom of the slave was the slogan which fired the northern heart, for he cites the act of congress, which said "The restora ton to the union of the se- ceded states with all their rights, digni- ties and institutions" and as slavery was the peculiar institution of the seeding states he states a fact that cannot be plotted out. Neither did MT. Lincoln con- sider that freeing the slaves was to fol- low the restoration of the union, for "he suspended General Schenck in Maryland because he undertook the emancipation of the slaves" as "in violation of the con- stitution." He referred to the canoniza- tion of John Brown "as a martyr" and when in stating that southern people re- scented this intermeddling with their pe- culiar state of affairs by the abolltlonists of the north some of his audience ex- pressed surprise and dissent, said in re- ply: "I will tell you the truth and give you nothing but facts. He further states that it cost to subjugate the seeding states, including pensions, up to last year $8, ,250, 000. .000." The speech is well worthy of reading and does Governor Oates great credit.

Huntsville Democrat

Huntsville Democrat,
 When we hear a smart Aleck get up and say the silver craze is dead il re- minds us of an occurrence which took place in the suburbs of our city down on Dry creek during the latter days of the war Dead mules were very common in those war days, hence when a party of urchins walked up on a large gray mule stretched out on the common, 1t was a matter of no surprise. Do you see that mule. said Andy, our colored companion, well that mule is dead, and I intends to have the pleasure of twisting one mules tail before I dies, so here goes. There upon Andy gave the reclining mules tail twist No rife ever went off quicker when you pulled the hair trig- ger than did that dead mule. It was all over in second, the mule was quietly looking back, and the little negro was falling through the branches of a neigh boring tree. That mule was not dead, but sleeping. This is the present condi- tion of the silver sentiment. We farmers are busy marketing our crops right now, but if the gold bugs think we are dead all they have to do is to twist our polti- cal extremities. When they do it if they don't get back to the mother earth by a tree or telephone pole rout we will give up that we don't understand the patriotic nature of the determined mountain billies of north Alabama, who believe in main- taining the principles of sound democ- raoy.
Birmingham state herald., 1895-11-13

Jones has done. and let's keep Alabama in the hands of the party that has made 1t the grand state that 1t is today. Some are mad, some want power. and place, but the honest yoemanry of this country want true democratic principles to prevail and desire that the govern mental affairs of this state shall remain in the hands of the men who have the best interests of the people and the state at heart, and that class of the Kolb fol- lowing will not be slow in making choice of parties after the populist party shall have, today, been merged into the repub- lican party.
