Joe Johnston. They now say the demo-
cratic ticket and platform are good
enough for them.-LaFayette Sun.
When Bowman and Parsons, Moseley
and Goodwin begin their canvass of the
state the democrats will realize the inn
portance of registering. And another
thing they will realize is that vote for
Johnston will be vote for white rule in
Alabama. These are dangerous men to
lead negroes, and they will be recognized
as leaders by the negroes before the
campaign Is over.-Huntsville Mercury.
The election of Joe Johnston and the
entire democratic ticket should be para
mount to every other issue with demo-
Gratis, whether for the gold standard or
the free coinage of silver; so, brethren,
sidetrack your objections, # you have
any, and roll up your sleeves and put
your shoulder to the wheel and let us
roll up such majority for the demo-
cratic state ticket next August as will
forever destroy all hope OF republican
success in Acknowledgement Record.
The republican party is displaying its
hand already in the present campaign.
On the stand with Captain Goodwin in
disappearing campaign speech at Birming-
ham were Dr. Moseley, Lewis e. Par
sons and perhaps other no less distin-
guished republican lights Moseley and
Parsons made speeches and they bitter
ly denounced the democratic party. The
mon cause against democracy. But de-
mocracy will win this year.-Greensboro
Waterman.
The white men in Alabama of all par
ties who do not want to submit to the
great indignity, insult and injury of being
forced to ride in the same car and on the
same seat with negroes, to sleep in the
same hotel and In the same bed with ne
groes, to eat at the same table and battle
in the same tub with his "cullud brother"
and have his children attend the same
school with negroes, had better commend
himself to the serious consideration of
this question before he accords the fusion
ticket headed by Goodwin, his support
Troy Democrat.
The republicans of the Second district
in North Carolina have nominated a ne
gro for congress. 1t is this party that
dictated two nominees of the populite
state ticket in this state. 1t Is this party
that proposes to elect Mr.. Goodwin and
dominate his administration DR.. Nose
ley and Lew Parsons and Ex-Marshal
Walker would be chief advisers Of his adj
ministration. Those who doubt that Mr.
Goodwin would be dominated by repub-
lican inf1uences-the most rabid kind of
republican infiuences-don't know Dr.

T Dear Mr.. Goodwyn Time was when
you did not scorn to take the office from
the democratic party. Governor Hous-
ton, the good and patriotic governor, APP
pointed you a member of the board of
inspectors of the penitentiary for four
years, Governor Cobb appointed you to
the same Office for two years. You were
elected by the democrats of Gilmore coun-
ty in 1886 to the legislature You did not
then think so contemptuously of ''polit-
ical pensioners" Oh, no. But now Cea-
sar has Ted on the combination, COM
post food, and hath grown great and con-
temptuous.--Huntsville Argus.
rst,o A;,~,a boo In covua when deH1n-
Gratis must stand shoulder to shoulder,
and not only vote for, but work for the
state and county ticket. Upon the sue
cess of the ticket now in the field depends
not only the present, but the future well
fare of the party; hence the necessity that
there should be no apathy or indiference
among members of the party. Before the
nominations were made the time was
when it was expected that men would ex=
ercise preference as between candidates
for the nomination, but that time has now
passed. The hour has arrived when all
democrats must assert their manhood and
rise above so small a thing a 8 personal
objection to one or more of the nominees.

The Hartsel1e Enquirer supports ]. HI.
Bankhead for United States senator, the
Athens Courier wants Bill Oates, the
Florence papers are enthusiastic for
G. p. Jones, and Tempkins and Pugh
and others are in the race. Jones being
our next door neighbor and also free.i
silver man. we are very much inclined
to espouse his cause. However, we have
it from good authority that Mr.. Jones
is not q candidate for senator and Will
not be. He wants no Office and could
not be induced to accept the highest hon
crs in the gift of the people. He Is a
lawyer and has no political aspirations
whatever Mr. Jones is a silver man and
believes in double standard and will
be found in this ranks bathing for the
truA principles Of demceracy.--Moulton
Advertiser.
