Journalism's Requirements.

1t has come to the News that some of
it's colleagues in the recess fight for
sound money" have expressed surprise
and even censure because the News yes
terday afternoon conceded Captain
Johnston's nomination. In the name of
truth, good friends of principle, how
could the News have done otherwise?
The election returns, which the News
had fondly tried to have another way,
came in for Captain Johnston
Journalism is not always the happiest
occupation A daily newspaper which
tries to do it's duty endeavors to fulfill its
implied contract with its readers to tell
them the truth and just as quickly as
possible. and the truth unfortunately is
frequently that which brings disappoint-
ment and sorrow to the makers of a pa
per as we'll as to its readers.
The editor of a newspaper, If he appre-
ciates the high responsibility of his vo-
cation, feels that to publish the facts
promptly and fearlessly and to express
opinions honestly are a duty to which he
is bound by an obligation as solemn and
sacred as the oath of judge on the
bench. The nearer newspaper APP
proaches to such edtorship the closer it
comes to enduring power and influence.

TAKE TT LIKE I1TTI,E MEN,

How vigorously the Sound money"
democrats of Jefferson county can work
none know better than the Johnston
forces. They stand ready to duplicate
tain Johnston's behalf this sum-
mer, If permitted to do so.
They insist that they have ma
jority, though small in tomorrow's con-
vention. and they appeal to the Johnston
men not to hinder or embarrass them in
organizing and controlling that body.
This appeal is made for harmony's sake,
and for the present and future welfare of
the democracy of Jefferson county and of
Administering News.
We can see plainly two propositions
put forth in the above editorial. One is:
I'VE can do you good in August if you
will sit supinely by now and let us have,
not what we have justly won. but what
we want very badly, and unless you do
this we will not do our duty
in August" The other propositions
is this: Now here you have car
ried the state and won the contest, even
without Jefferson let us have this coun-
ty for the sake of harmony For the sake
of harmony Johnston men are asked to
step aside and permit us to carry out
our original intention, which we under
took regardless of harmony, which was,
if possible to defeat the triumph of
Johnston in this state by fighting him to
the bitter end in his home county-yea,
in his home beat" Oh yes, harmony is a
great thing now in the eyes of the men
who have used all manner of means to
wrest from Johnston his home county.
Some weeks ago harmony was a thing
n,a1x- 20 JNn
now we are deliberately and cooly in
formed by the managers of the Clarke
campaign in Jefferson county that har-
mony and aquiet surrender of this county
to them by Johnston's friends. after they
have won it in spite of the means that
have been used in the effort to carry it
against them is necessary to the secur-
ing of that vigorous work" which we
are informed by them through the News
that they are capable of performing for
the democratic nominees next August
If the Clarke forces have honestly and
actually carried this county, as claimed
by the News for them in several different
places in the same paper in which
| the threatening and appealing ed
| itoral appears why appeal to
| the Johnston men to let them have it
| and threaten not to do their duty in Au-
| gust If their appeal is not granted
| Threats nor appeals will deter the John
| ston forces, neither will the cry of har-
| mony by the Clarke men at this late day
avail them anything. They have made a
desperate effort to carry the county, re-
CARELESS of harmony" and have lost,
and today they will and should stand up
and take their defeat like little men.

FIGURES COUNT.

Yesterday the Evening News changed
its figures again, and concede to john
ston 276 delegates in the state conven-
ton and claimed for Clarke 1893, and
classed as doubtful 35--the doubtful
votes to come from Barbour, Crenshaw,
Escambia, Fayette, Lamar and Monroe
All of these counties are well known to
be absolutely certain for Johnston--no
contests in either of them, except posi-
bly, Barbour. In managing to run Mr..
Clarke's vote up to 1873 the News places in
the Clarke column Covington, Jefferson,
Lee, Marengo, Pike, Sumter and ITALIA
poosa, aggregating 80 votes, not a single
county of which Mr. Clarke will carry ,ex-
cetp possibly one-half of Sumter and
Marengo. Thus it will be seen from the
News concessions and the returns TO
hand that Mr. Clarke will get about III
votes out of the 504 constituting the state
convention.
Notwithstanding the News is not q
close calculator, 1t is to be complimented
on being fair enough to concede john
ston's nomination.

UGLY FOR UNGERHART.
Recent Conner Arrested for Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses. u -

w. Ungerhart was arrested yesterday
morning by officer H. 7. Culpepper at
his boarding house, near the opera house,
on First avenue, on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretense.
Ungerhart, it seems, was behind with
his landlord for board and gave him a
creek on the First National bank for $40.
He also gave Mr.. Doc Satterwhite a
check on the same bank for $40 and re-
ceived in lieu thereof $3.50 in cash, and
was told to return later when the face
value of the check would be paid.
When the checks were presented to the
bank for payment it was ascertained
that Ungerhart had no account with the
bank.
When arrested the prisoner refused to
talk, and simply stated that he expected
10 receive some money and intended to
fix the matter up. He came here the
week of the races, and where he halls
from seems not to be known here. His
trial comes up in the police court this
morning.

they can compel the nomination of a

among honest and patriotic democrats
that their party will be untrue to its
record and it's principles when the Chi

opinion that the result of that conven-

could ask for, and that there will be the
most irresistible revival of democracy
this year that the country has ever wit
messed.

and patriotism of the people,"
With the exception of the Advertiser
and here and there an individual and Mr.
Clarke himself, everybody comedies that
Johnston will be the democratic nominee
this year. While the Advertiser does not
longer claim the nomination of Mr..
Clarke, it has not yet worked up sufl1-
cient courage to admit that Captain
Johnston has won the contest and will
be the nominee. Of course this is a hard
job for the Advertiser to have to perform,
and it should be given time. 1t requires
a considerable degree of moral courage
to just come up and confess like man
that you have been whipped, and we are
willing that the Advertiser and Mr.
Clarke have few more days in which to
work themselves up to the proper pitch.
