Of course Dr. Moseley is to be heard. If elected, Moseley and Parsons would control Goodwin. This is too palpable to admit of discussion.
 This assertion by Reader: You know that Goodwin is not aud never has been a republican pr a supporter of republican princi- ples," is most assuredly incorrect. We do not know any such thing. On the other hand, we know that Goodwin is a republican and supporter of republican principles, which in Alabama means a man who wants off1ce-wants office bad; wants office bad enough to be willing 10 oppose the rule of the white man in tile hope of getting office.
 Reader should ask something hard If he really does not know why Goodwin could only be looked upon as completely in the hands of the republicans he Is about the only man in Alabama so badly in the dark.

All He Wanted Was the Power.


 According to the Attalla Herald the following story comes from north Ala bama:
 "A black -and-tan county convention was in session and one of these carica- lures upon the white race was using all the arts known to such degraded things in trying to pull over the negro influence to his side of the question, and no doubt make them pliant tools In his nefarious schemes to boost himself into office. "One of the darkies not rellshing his remarks, methods or manner, got up and said: If I had de power I'd change dis black skin O mine and make it white, and if I had de further power I'd streighten dis kinky wool O mine and I'd be white man, jine de democratic party and vote the democratic ticket streight, and wouldn't be caught nosing around trying to manipulate nigger meetings to get their votes to put me in office like you are doing.'"

Gallant Joe Blackburn deals those dem ocrats in Kentucky who bolted his nond- nation last year severe rebuke in the following interview:
 "I shall leave in a few days for Ken lucky, not to go upon the stump, but to take charge of the campaign. I be- lieve that the cause of free silver will win in the state and I give notice now that we shall declare for the free coin age of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 if we have a majority in the convention. If the other side has the majority they can declare for anything they please. I want 1t understood, however, that I am willing to abide by the result, and I also want the other side to do the same. I do not believe In bolting, either by the silver men or the gold men,"

 The registration books were closed last Saturday night, as the law directs. They have been open for eighteen days and plenty of time was given everybody to register
 Registrar T. J. Walker has been very accommodating and obliging and he went to lots of trouble to impress the necessity of registering.
 Over the county it Is very probable that full registration has been made. In this beat there is certainly full re- publican and populist vote. All of the negroes registered, their leaders being very active.
 There are S79 registered in this beat 620 white and 255 colored

They see the handwriting on the wall. The Chicago Times-Herald, a rabid in- dependent goldbug paper. says silver will control the national democratic conven- tion.

The true, llberty-loving American who has already felt the sting of depression through the standardization of one man power is prepared to appreciate the drift of American politics when he reads such argument as the following from the New York Mercury a once able advocate of pure democracy, but which now basks under the influence of Wall street: "Gen- eral Mcclellan repudiated the platform on which he was nominated. It will be proper for the democratic candidate this year to denounce any weak points in the democratic platform. The candidate out ranks the platform"

In Q recent letter to citizen of Texas, Secretary Carlisle said that he was op- posed to the free coinage of silver in 1878 at the time of the deliverance of the speech which has so often been quoted from by advocates of the white metal. It appears that the way Is now open for the secretary to announce that he was opposed to free coinage in 1879 at the time, as shown by the records he voted for free coinage.

Goodwyn's Invitation.

Huntsville Mercury.
 As a prelude and accompaniment to 8 serious proposition in business or politics it is not customary, among decent peo- pie, to slap man in the face or kick him. Yet MT. Goodwyn's request to Cap- tain Johnston for a joint debate was preceded and coupled with offense, sim liar in kind, if not in degree.
 We publish below Captain Johnstons letter to the bearer of Goodwyn's chal- lenge, which he returns for amendment. that it may be considered and accepted. He could do nothing else with self respect or decent regard for the party. To have accepted the insults contained in the letter would at once have inau- gurated abuse as the order and object of the canvass, not principles and argu- ments. We commend his course.

Vote for John scI,wnrtz.

On the second page will be found the
financial statement of the middle coal
field poor district. A perusal Of it will
give the reader Il fair idea Of the great
ness Of the district and the large amount
which needs to be expended to keep it at
the high standard which the present
board has achieved. TO maintain the
reputation of the district only men
whose integrity is undisputcd whose
honesty is unquestioucd and whose
records are uustained should be given
the management of this institution.
Such a man is John Schwartz, of Halle
ton, the Democratic nominee for poor di-
rector. lie has no apologies to make for
his past, neither is he is compelled to
wear two faces while travelling through
the district He is the same to all, an
honest, upright, intelligent citizen,
whose business training makes him an
admirable person for the position he now
seeks.
Mr.. Schwartz's friends solicit votes
for him on his own merits, and that is
tho only proper claim upon which any
man should ask for support. This new
style of demanding political aid because
the candidate is shining light in pros
criptivc association should be promptly
rebuked, and the voters who desire to
eliminate bigotry from politics have now
an opportunity to do so by casting their
ballots for Mr.. Schwartz. who stands
upon a broad liberal platform Of true
Amcricanism, one that makes no dis
tinctiOn between men on account of their
creed or race. He is not sworn to am
tagonize any class of people because they
do not worship their Creator in the same
manner as himself, neither do his friends
boast that when elected he will bar the
asylum doors against the clcrgymcn of
any certain denomination.
He has brains enough to interpret the
constitution Of our government as the
trainers meant it should be understood.
and greed for political fayors could never
drive him into an organization whose
principles are not in keeping wi h the
spirit of tho founders of the country.
Mr. Schwartz reserves for himself the
right to think and act in political and
all other matters as his conscience
dictates, refusing TO become Il meek
slave of any clique, to be bulicd and
bulldoZcd and mauialcd before secret
tribunals If he darcs to express an
