MORGAN AND PUGH
Spent Yesterday in Birmlngham-Silver Men Meet Them and Discuss the Issues.
 Things All Right for Alabama,

Senators Morgan and Pugh spent the. day in Birmingham yesterday en route to Tuskaloosa, where they will speak to- day. Quite number of democratic leaders from different parts of the state were here also, and for several hours the senators and those friends here In the city and from over the state who agree with them on the financial ques- tion were in consultation in rooms at the Morris hotel. The senators brought cheering news from the capital regard ing the prospects for the final triumph of the true principles of democracy, among which, of course Is the principle of free coinage. The gentlemen from over the state all reported things political in good condition, and the prospects or victory as nattering as could be Wished for. The silver sentiment is growing In every section of the state, and free coin age democrats have no doubt as to the final outcome in the coming contest Ala bama is going to stand by the true demo- cratic doctrine of the free coinage of gold and silver.
 At 3:30 Senators Morgan and Pugh left over the Queen and Crescent railroad for Tuskaloosa. Many friends and admirers called to see them during the day.

MORGAN AND PUGH
Deserve Monuments More Lasting Than Brass or Stone" Says Correspondent
 in TuSkaIoosa Gazette.

Tuskaloosa Gazette, Nov. 2.
 Whatever estimate our city daiIies may place on the financial views of our sem ators this city and county should not fof- get that each of them have rendered to us lasting and highly beneficial services
 senator Pugh took leading part in our river and harbor convention years ago. He made very fine speech in that convention in favor of the objects of that convention, and dwelt especially upon the vital importance of opening up the War riorito the immense coal fields above this city. And on his motion the first appro- priation of $50,000 was secured for the Warrior below Daniels creek. And from time to time the needed funds have been appropriated, until now the three lockA and dams are an accomplished fact The harDor improvements at Mobile have also gone on since that convention. until wa nave a channel there of "A feet.
 MT: Pugh has been diligent and active Tn all the appropriations for the rivers ana Ms.,la haroers in Alabama, And ssnatoF convention, in which he took the high position that as the United States gov ernment had reserved the control of the rivers and hafbors 1t was their bounden duty to improve them.
 senator Morgan deserves to have a . " hiVie idsIinB than brass or stone erected to his memory on tha campus ot our state university. For sev- eral sessions of congress he made in- enectual efforts to secure s150, ,000 to pay for the fine buildings library and sp- paratus burned by the federalS, and finally on the 23d of April, 1886. be pro cured g. grant of 46,OSQ acres of the re- served mineral lands n the coal fields of Alabama for the perpetual benefit of our state university at Tuskaloosa. These lands have all been located by Col. A. c. Hargrove and others. and they have now patents of the United States for the entire grant and they embrace the finest coal lands in the state Only about 15,17O acres have been sold, at an average of $13 per acre, amounting to s197 ,451 .b6 in all. The balance of the lands unsold amount to 30904 acres, which at s13 Der acre will amount to s401 ,739. and If you add the S197451 already sold you have the magnificent total of s599. .19O54.
 Senator Morgan stands at the head of the grandest scheme of the nineteenth century-the Nicaragua canal He has by his masterly management procured the approval of that measure by the united states senate: and the recent able committee sent to Nicaragua to inspect the feasibility and estimate it's cost now stands ready to make favorable report estimating it's cost at S100,000 ,000.
 This, the greatest prospect of the age. will in my opinion be of more benefit to the coal region drained by the Warrior than any othef ono locality in the United States.
 Of course Senator Pugh has all the time, with all his influence, seconded these measures.
 Certainly these senators will receive cordial and grateful hearing from the citizens ot Tuskaloosa on next Saturday.

GUIN.
Colonel Bankhead Spoke to Large Crowos
 Arguments Unanswerable.

Arguments Unansweraple.
 Guin, Nov. 6.-(Special Correspond ce.)-Captain Bankhead addressed large and appreciative audiences at Win field yesterday and at this place last night. He went from here to Hamilton. His argument for free silver was plain practical, common sense argument. Even the strongest gold standard men admit that it is unanswerable. Ills speeches are having a good effect In this section-they have tendency to harmon ize our people. While we aim to make the fight of our lives for free silver, we are democrats and whatever platform the democratic party in its wisdom adopts, both in the state and nation, we will accept and support it as demo- orats. Free silver democrats are largely in the majority in this county and the "silyer craze" as some call 1t, is no nearer dead than 1t was two months ago.
 The streets are crowded with cotton wagons this week. Trade seems to be lively. The farmers are pleased with the price they are getting for their cotton, and the report from all sections or thlS county is that there is plenty of corn ana hogs to make plenty of meat to oo the country, and you don't hear so much taik about hard times.

WITH THE COURTS.

Some of the cases were continued, some of others taken.
 In the probate court no marriage H. censes were issued and only few small deeds were recorded.

 Commissioner Wilson's Court.
 Sam Campbell, George Grissom and James Joice were on trial yesterday aft ernoon before United States Commis- sioner H. A. Wilson on a charge of con- spring to prevent a citizen of the United States from exercising the rights guar anteed him by the constitution of the government. These men were arrested upon & warrant sworn out by George Giolitti, an Italian, who averred that the men assaulted him in one of the mines at Horse Creek for the purpose of making him leave the place.
 Gioitti was put on the stand, and he swore that he was naturalized In Colum- bus, Ks. and that in September last he was assaulted by the defendants, who had given him notice previously that he must leave the works. He stated to the court that three men had held meeting just previous to the assault and had elect ed president of the same.
 The defendants had witnesses also on the stand and 1t was shown that just simple fight took place between Giolitti and another miner, and that the latter had not been apprehended.
 On account of the absence of some other witnesses the case was continued until the 29th instant Mr. John Shugart rep resents the defendants.
 Court Notes.
 The court house officials miss the genial presence of MT. Tom Porter, who until his departure for New York occupied a responsible clerkship in the probate office. Charles Wellborn and other United States prisoners will be sent to the Brooklyn penitentiary Monday afternoon. New steel fire proof files and roller book shelves are being placed in the clerks office of the city court.
 We've had a bitter defeat" say the court house men, "but we'll get together and win victory for democracy next time"

Kind Of Horses in Dema ID.

The Western Agriculturist says:
Coach and carriage horse size, style
and beauty is now the ruling market
demand. We have predicted ii would
be for years, while we have been
breeding millions Of small trOtterS for
speed. The depression developed the
change so quickly that many can not
realize the lost cause of the country
cross roads trotter. while those who
read the stock journals and farm pa
pers of the city daily, or who visit the
large cities and see the type Of large
harness horses with the elements Of
beauty in form and action, can better
understand the mistakes we have
made III breeding for speed alone.
which now has little commercial value
except for professional race-traCk use.
While the great city markets demand
the coach horse type with high knee
action. The trotting horse papers have
tried in vain to cry down the intrOduc-
ton of the coaChers, just as they did
the draft horse, which they predicted
would soon play out. Now we can not
get half enough of those despiSed
draft horses and the coacherS have TO
run the gauntlet of foreign COMPETE
ton. There are European buyers for
more horses than we yet raise, and a
wonderful home city demand that
buys with a lavish hand to keep them
from the foreign buyers that fill all
our horse markets.
