to Alabama and grow up"
Says the Evergreen Courant:
..Afr. Stallings struck the key note when
he said that the principles of democracy
can never die. A man who is democrat
| from conviction will remain a democrat,
it matters not what you call him"
What the people want Is currency re-
form, and currency reform they are going
to have in some form. The best and
cheapest currency reform is to reopen the
minis to silver and repeal the law making
gold the unit OF value.-Cuba Banner.
Says the Seottsboro Progressive Age:
John G. Winston, solicitor for the
Eighth circuit. is not only performing
his duty as prosecuting attorney, but IN
addition to that Is doing good work for
the cause of free silver. He made an a bic
free silver speech to the good people OF
Blount county at Oneonta last Tuesday
night. He had a large and appreclative
audience.
Mr.. James Simpson of the Montgomery
Journal is being pushed by his friends for
the legislature from Montgomery There
Is no better democrat in the state, and no
man that is more deserving than this big
hearted freshman, who is as true to q
friend as the needle to the pole Let Jim
run. We would be glad to see him elect

But wouldn't 1t be bad policy to ruin
a good newspaper man by making him
legislator?
If Alabama thought her governor was
really snubbed at the Georgia exposition
it speaks very bad for the sons of Ala
bama according to the following from
C, J. Haden in his speech welcoming the
A1ahamians to Atlanta:
"Our mayor is from Alabama, our city
attorney is from Alabama, our police
Judge grew up with the winds from across
the Chattahoochee bathing his brow. And
policemen God alone knows how many
of them are countrymen of ours. SO, II
the worst comes to the worst, you are
still in the hands of your friends"
Judge Richardson Is not only DEM
ocrat In whom there is no guile, but a
party patriot of the first water. In
speaking of him the Decatur News says:
"Of course Judge Richardson Is known
from home as the Huntsville Argus says,
and he Is known as an unwayering' un-
terrified democrat always ready anu
willing to do yoeman service for the par
ty Although in the middle OF BUSY
term of court last week, he laid aside ms
books and continued his cases ana ran

high cockalorum Of the republican party
DR. Bob MoSeley.
The Alexander City outlook doesn't ia
vor the fire and water test of mans
| democracy in order that he may take
part in the party primaries.
at is very true that the democrats of
Alabama hold sacred their party faith,
and don't want any monkeying, but pray
tell us on what can they rely more than a
mans honesty. There are prodigals ana
prodigals who left the democratic party
during the recent years. Many will re-
turn If not barred by barriers called par
ty restrictions Let us not exact too
much The ultimatum must not be rigid.
| On the other hand, it should be conserVa-

as it were, but we do want to see those
honest men who have wandered from the
party given an opportunity mot fire
and waterproof tesO to come back ana re-
deem themselves"
The Decatur News has the following to
say of the probable candidates for the
legislature from Morgan county:
1--WE have a letter before us intended
| for publication, suggesting Hon. o. Kyle
| and Editor j. A Rountree as suitable
| persons to represent Morgan county In
| the next legislature. Their views about
| the free coinage of silver are not in ac-
| cord with ours, but we can cheerully
| commend both of them to the voters of
the democratic party. The next Ala
bama legislature will not deal with the
| coinage of silver and cannot possibly
do anything favorable to silver legsla-
| ton except to elect United States sem
| ator who will favor free coinage. We
| suppose that both Mr.. Kyle and Mr..
Rountree, if members of the general as
sembly, would vote for Captain Johnston
| for federal senator but that would not
make them any the less valuable repre-
| sentatives to the county. Mr. Kyle has
much experience as legislator; he has
been tried and can be trusted, and Mr..
Rountree is a sterling democrat, alert
and watchful, and never tires at working
| In a good cause. If they fling their flag
| to the breeze the mountains will echo
