HIS GAIN TENS OF THOUSANDS or
 VOTES

Only four weeks and three days now until the campaign will close. When MT. Bryan was nominated it was said by re- publicans that if the election was to take place in a week or ten days he would be elected, but that they were going to in- augurate a campaign of education and bring the people around to their way of thinking.
 The campaign of education has been inaugurated and prosecuted but not by the republicans. The democrats have car ried on a campaign of education. It has been the most brilliant campaign ever prosecuted in any country and has had telling effect, if the republicans who said immediately after the convention that Bryan would be elected were the election to take place in a week or ten days were correct, and we think they were then if the election were to take place next Tuesday he would be elected by an overwhelming majority. He has gained votes by tens of thousands in his brilliant campaign.
 Instead of inaugura ting a campaign of education, as they proclaimed they were goin to do the republicans inaugurated a campaign of misrepresentation and cor ruption. This campaign they have prose- cuted with an energy worthy a better cause, but after ten weeks of their time has been spent and only four weeks more in which to prosecute it remains they are today in a worse condition than they were when they began it. Millions of dollars have been and will be spent by them before the polls close, but they can't buy this election. The people are going to resume business at the old stand this year. The most of the next four weeks will be spent by MT. Bryan in what are called the doubtful western states. It will be remembered that MT. Bryans crowds in the east were numbered by the thousands, but when he started back to the west and reached Ohio the press reporters began to measure them by the acre. So it will be in the west from now until the brilliant candidate of the demo- cratic party closes his campaign, and he will simply speak to acres of people.

HE WILL REMAIN IN THE RAGE

It begins to appear that Watson is lack ing in patriotism. His hostility towards fusion indicates that with him 1t is Wat son frst and then reform. Since the day of his nomination he has been clamoring for MT. Sewall's retirement from the democratic ticket in order that he (Wat- som might have smooth sailing for the vice-presidency. His speeches have not been such speeches as a man who would prefer to see his people relieved, to being vice-president of the United States, would likely make. His published letters have been very much of the same charac- ter as his speeches.
 The Georgian appears to never have viewed the situation save from the stand point of Watson's interest. lie has evi- dently never stopped to consider the fact that MT. Sewall was nominated for vice. president by the convention of a great political party and could as easily con- clude that Watson was in his way as it is for Watson to conclude that Sewall is in his (Watson's) way.
 If the fact that the candidacy of both Sewall and Watson is to damage the chances of MT. Bryan stared Mr, Sewall III tliN leNC Sp IieiIhly CD hils VI eboplA SetS it stares him in the face we believe MT. Sewall would promptly retire from the race. We have sufficient faith in the earnestness and patriotism of MT. Sew all to lead us to believe that he would long ago have retired from the race had he not felt certain that his retirement would damage the chances of Mir. Bryan for election.
 We had hoped that when MT. Watson reached the conclusion that Mir Sewall was in the race to stay that he (Watson) would promptly retire. That he would do this we had no doubt until recently. But his telegram to the Indiana populite in reference to fusion has somewhat changed our opinion. We begin to think that MT. Watson had rather see Bryan defeated and with him the great cause of financial reform than fail to become vice. president of the United States himself. It is possible that we are mistaken in this conclusion. We hope that we are in error and that after the Georgia elec- ton MT. Watson will get out of the race, Unless he does our opinion of him will be confirmed and we think 99 per cent of the populite voters of the country will form about the same opinion of him that we shall entertain in case he continues in the race.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

"No people, in a great Emergency, ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals It makes no treaty that it Noes not break, it has no friend it does not betray. Armies and na- Vies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin. No na- ton ever fought great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the crisis of the great peril 1t becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field, but when the battle has been won and peace secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory"

The Cincinnati Enquirer refers to the work of a statesman whom few demo- crats would have had the democratic convention at Chicago indorse in the fol- lowing manner:
 "The conspiracy to destroy silver money commenced twenty-nine years ago, when John sherman, fresh from a conference with London bankers, turned up in Paris and turned the scale in the international conference on coinage, weights and measures, then in session, in favor of the British scheme for making the gold standard universal. With, con- summate tact he worked in the dark for six years as mole works in the ground, and accomplished his darling object of demonetizing silver in the United States without detection and without discovery of his work by congress, the people or the press"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-10-01

When the republican party declared that bimetallism was preferable to the gold standard, but that foreign countries would have to consent before we could have it, selected Mark Hanna to run the campaign and nominated a mortgaged man for president it started on the road tO certain defeat

The New York World publishes a spe- clal rom Chicago which says that the canvass made of the state of Illinois outside Of Chicago by the republican managers develops the fact that the vote or the state outside the city of Chicago Will be about tie between Bryan and Mckinley. That is quite a let down in the claiming department of the repub hcan campaign committee and means that Bryan will carry the state beyond doubt. Chicago will go for Bryan by at least 20, 900 majority.

The Peoples Tribune, Captain Kolb's paper, comes out for Bryan and Sewall this week The Tribune is the leading 'populite paper in Alabama and is an ably edited Journal. It has always wielded powerful influence in this state with the populite voters and we are satisfied that it will have no trouble in convincing it's readers that it is pursuing the only wise course left it as an earnest advocate of reform.

If while the farmer has been growing poorer and poorer under the gold stand ard the condition of the wage-earners of the country has been getting better and better. the advocates of the gold standard could have used argument and not have had to resort to the use of money and coercion in the pursuit of the votes of the wage earners for the gold standard.

The laboring man-we mean the wage earner--who is asked to vote for McKin- ley and the gold standard because he can buy more of the products of labor with his wages, under the gold standard than he can under free coinage, will, of course. ask himself this question: Why then is 1t that dollar under the gold standard will not buy more of my labor than it would under free coinage?

The disgraceful conduct of corporation managers in states like Illinois, Indiana and Iowa towards their employees will not fail to open the eyes of laboring men everywhere. When a corporation delib- erately posts notices to its employees that unless they march in the Mckinley pro- cession on the 10th they will have to march in the pursuit of job on the 11th it requires no Solomon to tell how those men will vote when they find themselves alone in the voting booth.

The populites who want financial re- form are not likely to throw their votes away this year simply because Mir Wat son is not favorable to fusion.

Why do the corporations not say to their employees: You know we are under the gold standard and that you are doing well. Your wages are getting higher and higher, there is plenty of jobs and hands are scarce, true farm and other products are cheap, and the farmers are dissatis- fled, but you and all wage-earners are doing well, we therefore appeal to you tol vote for the gold standard and cease threatening to discharge them unless they vote for the gold standard.
