demonstrate the calbre Of the man.
Mr.. Bryan could not be elected presi-
dent on his record, no matter what
sort of platform he stood upon. He
simply isn't up to the presidential stan
dard. -
MIR, FLETCHER of Moretown has q
trenchant and patriotic letter in this
issue of the WATCHMAN. Mr.. Fletcher
is right; no republican should be pre-
pairing TO vote the democratic ticket in
September, or to refrain entirely from
voting, by reason of any belief or
suspicion he may have that any candi-
date obtained his nomination by i'm
proper means. Mr.. Fletcher is right
again in reminding voters of the sane
| tity of the freeman's oath which they
have taken, and of their duty under
that solemn compact with the state.
Party fealty does not compel any free
man to give his vote or suffrage " 80
as in his conscience he shall Judge !"
will not conduce to the best good of the
state; party discipline cannot compel a
freeman 30 to vote. On the other
hand, duty to the state will not permit
the freeman to disregard the obliga-
tions of citizenship and not vote at all;
nor in giving his vote or suffrage
should he be influenced by any within
or unreasonable prejudice. The law
regulating the exercise of the suffrage
provides ample means for freedom and
independence in voting and protects
every voter in the enjoyment of his
rights. If his conscience shall judge
that it will not conduce to the best
good of the state to vote for any reg.
ular candidate, he may substitute
another name, or he may refrain from
voting for such candidate and vote for
others against whom his conscience
brings no indictment. So let every
republican be preparing "to give his
vote or suffrage" in September $50 as
in his conscience he shall judge will
most conduce to the best good of the
state" and the nation.

A great many negroes were present, nearly all of whom said that they would vote the democratic ticket in August
 The arguments of Goodwin and other third party leaders were fully answered by these gentlemen, and there can be no doubt that Henry county will give John ston and the balance of the ticket a large majority

St. Clair Democrats Meet and Nominate
 Candidates for County Officers.
 Ashville, July 13.-(Special Corre- spondence) )-The democrats of St. Clair county met in convention at Coal City on last Saturday and put out the follow ing ticket, viz: For representative, Judge E. J. Robinson; tax collector, Trot- ter; tax assessor, J. c. M. Spruill; sheriff, Thomas l.. Nunelly; superintendent of education, M. M. Smith, Esq; treasurer, Rev. Newton Curier; commissioners, M M. Fulghum and J. B. Davis. This is a splendid ticket. A stronger one could not have been named. They and the populists will canvass the county jointly and it is safe to say that the cause of democracy will be ably de- tended by the candidates whom the con- ,vention named Three tickets are now in the field and of the 5000 voters in the county each has about 1000. A hard fight will be made on all sides and the results cannot be forecasted.
 Ashville is solid for Bryan. His nom ination is satisfactory to the democrats, but none the more so than the popu- lists. They express themselves as hope full that the St. Louis convention will in- dorSe him.

it is generally believed that he will not surrender the empty honor without a long and vigorous kick, and no one who is acquainted with the internal condi- tions of the republican party in this state will blame Cuffee for his kick. In point of numbers in the party the colored brother is ten to one. He has no place on the state ticket and only two places as electors on the national ticket which are merely honorary positions. Now, to sweep in few kicking democrats the white leaders seem willing to kick the colored brother out. It is not believed that the negro will stand this kick. With the two negroes on the electoral ticket the Mckinley managers can hope for no white democratic votes. The white men of Alabama have not yet reached that point when they will delegate to two ne
 groes the right to cast their votes for president in the electoral college.

GLORIES OF OLD ROME.
Ringling Bros. Realistic ROproduc-
tion Of the Ancient Hippodrome.


In the grand Roman hippodrome,
which forms an important feature
of Ringling Bros. Worlds Greatest
Shows, which exhibit in Texarkana
Saturday, October "a, a strikingly
successful effort has been made to
embody all that was most charac-
teric of the thrilling racing
contests of old Rome when Julius
Caesar was at the pinnacle of his
power. The great hippodrome
course, the solidly carved and high
ly ornate golden chariots; the mad
! Iy dashing, gorgeously caparisoned
horses, themselves partaking of the
excitement and intensity of the
hotly contested and perilous strug-
gle; the seemingly reckless and yet
infinitely skillful chariot drivers,
with tunics flying, aud whip and
voice urging the straining horses
to greater exertions; the pictur-
esque standing races, alike remark
able in man and beast; the Gr9co.
Roman contests, by Herculean glad
iators, mounted on horseback; the
gaily colored costumes the waving
banners, the picture-ike kaleido-
scopic colors indispensable to a
scene transported from the days of
Roman imperial splendor into the
prosaic nineteenth century-all
combine to constitute scene Of
grandeur that can never be forgot
ten, The hippodrome features are
not, however, confined to the con-
tests Of the Roman era The best
features of the modern turf have
been combined with the reproduc-
ton of the once famed MaXimus.
These embrace elephant races, Ia
dies and gentleuen's flat and hur-
die races, pony races for the pleas
ure of the younger element, in
which trained monkeys are utilized
as riders; comical clown races; con.
tests in which fleet-footed men out
run the Swiftest horses; curiously
exciting races between whippet
hounds, and many other interesting
contests of this kind never before
introduced on a hippodrome track
A striking feature Of all these
races, and that which commends it.,

stock, is the charactero of the horses,
