PARTY NOTES AND NOTIONS

The inadvertent omission of few words yesterday in this column did in justice to the cause of bimetallism. about which Colonel Money had talked while here Tuesday He said that the recent vote on the silver substitute bill in the house disposed of the silver question as far as this congress was concerned. AS jar as this congres was concerned" was what was omitted.
 By the way, Colonel Money said the best speech in the house on the silver Sharpe Williams of Mississippi. Senator Gray of Delaware, goldbug as he is, said to Colonel Money of MT. Williams speech: Tt was the most intellectual and brilliant speech yet made on either side of the question" John Sharpe Will Hams is quite capable of eXcelling, just as the distinguished senator remarked. There is not a brighter man in congress than MT. Williams. He has had beauti- full education in this country and Europe. and is well off in the worlds goods. own ing plantations in Mississippi and real es- tate in Memphis. One of his Inspirations. by the way, is his wife, a charming daughter of. our own state, doubtless formerly known to many here as Miss Bettie Webb. MT. Williams witty and cogent argument for free silver was made in the house on the 18th instant.
 Our esteemed contemporary, "The Clarke Column" in the Evening News seems to have inaugurated itself mainly for the purpose of claiming everything in sight for the man with the onliest blue eyes they is Why don't they quote him and point out the wisdom of some of his utterances? There is a feeling in some quarters that this is because they are not too dull to comprehend the diff ference between the late Benjamin Frankin's almanac and MT Clarkes speeches in his battle for principles, one being Poor Richards Sayings and the other Richards Poor Sayings.

Seney, Mich. Feb. go. Four men were killed and seven others seriously injured at McKay's lumber camp, north of here, today. A steam log handler was being experimented with and the men were engaged in shoveling a wide road for the machine to work in. Suddenly the machine became uncomfortable and started down the road with great speed. The banks of snow on either side of the narrow road were so high the men had no chance of escape. Four of them were literally ground to pieces under the ma chine Seven others were tossed on the snow banks and were more or less se- iiously injured. A severe blizzard Is rag ing and no help can go to the camp from here.

THE RACES.
O'Connell Is Here.

O'Connell, a king and crackerjack of horses, has joined the famous flyers now quartered at the grounds of the Alabama State Fair and Racing association.
 He came Tuesday from St. Louis, along with a car of horses belonging to J. w. Speir and MT. Brown of New York, among them being Enthusiast St. Ilario, Lisely and La Sale, with number of 2-year-olds to be named at the coming Birmingham meeting.
 All those named are stake winners. They are not winter running horses this season, and will open their spring cam pagn here.

porters here were bothering themselves as to where Thomasville is, where Cap tain Johnston delivered his famous speech. It was suggested to them that if they did not accomplish anything more they would at least learn something of the geography of the state A gentle man few years ago ran for solicitor, and received in the legislature one vote. He consoled himself by saying that while he did not get elected he had at least learned something of the geography of Alabama.
 A gentleman in Athens writes a friend here that most of the influential support CTS of Governor Oates two years ago in this county are now for Johnston, while every man in the county who was for him then is for him now and that he is sure to carry the county by at least to1. He also writes that the Athens Courier, which was for Oates last time. is hit ting some hard licks now for Johnston as the man to harmonize and unite the party. a.saSs
 When Hon. John G. Winston, Jr, of Marshall passed through the city yester- day returning from holding court in De- I<alb county, which is part of his circuit, he stated to a State Herald reporter that DeKalb was IS certain for Johnston this time as Marshall; also that Cherokee would go for Johnston. The influential workers of DeKalb county who were for Governor Oates last time, and carried the county are supporting Captain John ston this time, believing that Johnston can be elected if nominated, while Clarke could not.
 What a pity our esteemed contempo- rary, "The Clarke Coumn,'' is so limited in space. It is hard to be so stinted in room when there is so much to be claimed. WAT
