HERE'S CHEEK FOR YOU.

The Advertiser, to the limit of its abil-
ity, has been trying to pour oil on the
troubled waters. 1t has been pointing
out in a calm way the lessons of the
recent disaster, and has been doing all
it could to allay the soreness and bitter
ness of many of the democrats who voted
for Bryan. 1t has carefully avoided
pouring any vinegar into their wounds.
1t has been looking for time to do its sure
and kind work of healing.
But unfortunately, the Advertiser is
not receiving, so far, the encouragement
in this undertaking which it expected

Now that's genuine cheek for you. The

The Advertiser, a paper that went into
the party primaries and helped to NOM
mate a party candidate and then lead a
bolt and did what it could to elect the re-
publican nominee, now finds time to dc
all the above mentioned kind things for
the democrats who voted for Bryan. Will
the Advertiser not kindly withhold its
good offices until those upon whom 1t has
been insisting upon bestowing them send
for it? We are sure If it will pursue that
course it's tender care and motherly adj
vice will be more likely to meet with
more satisfactory encouragement"

THE WILL BE REMEMBERED.

Such men as ex-Gov. Thomas @. Jones,
w. w. Screws, R. H. Clark and others
of this state, will be remembered by the
democrats of Alabama for the part they
took in the presidential contest just
closed. and their activity in behalf of
Maj Mckinley. If ever they offer for
office again in the state, we sincerely
trust that the silver democrats, those
who loyalty supported the regular ma
tional ticket will bury them under an
avalanche of votes. They deserve pun
ishment at the hands of the democratic
party.-North Albanian.
They will be remembered, too, brother.

1T MISTAKES BOLTERS FOR DEMO
GRATIS

Since the recent national election the
question that has most frequently come
into the mind of every thoughtful, pa
trlotic democrat in this state has been
the future of the party here. Is 1t to re-
main divided, and is the breach to be
widened, or are democrats to get to-
gether on old lines and work for the
common weal?-Montgomer Advertiser.
The trouble with the Advertiser is that
it mistakes boilers for democrats. We
have no doubt the Question that has
most frequently come into the mind of
every bolter'' in this state since the cleo
ton has been the future of the party
here Those fellows have evidently lost
some sleep bordering over the question
of whether or not they would be recog-
nized by the regular democrats as the
only and true democracy. The regular,
true and unfaltering democrats of the
state who stood by the party and its
candidates have not been worrying about
the future of the party in this state.
They know the party is in better shape
than it has been in several years and is
amply able to take care of itself. They
know there is no division in the party,
and so far as the widening" of what the
Advertiser is pleased to term the
breach" is concerned, it is matter of
supreme indifference to the democrats of
this state The little bolt led by the Ad-
vertiser does not rise to the dignity of
a division in the party, and the boilers
cannot possibly get any further from the
party than they are now, the bulk of
them having voted for the republican
nominee already, the others having voted

THE PEOPLES CHAMPION.

Bryan, though defeated, is the most
honored man in America. Honored in
defeat, because he championed the cause
of the oppressed and the people. He will
live in the hearts of his countrymen in
all ages, and his matchless campaign will
live forever, as a beacon light to help
others who are working in the interest
of the people.-Athens Courier.

A NOVEL SIGHT.

Montgomery, Hundley, elected as DEM
oerat is a member of the republican eau
Gus. 1t affords a sight new and novel in
the political world-a senator elected as

opposing party and holding on to his
commission. Think of it, OH we honest
democrats, who thought him honest also.

IT'S DEMOCRACY NOT RECOGNIZED.

We do not care to disseminate republic

decline the clubbing proposition made US
by the Montgomery Advertiser few
days ago 1t has bolted the democratic
party and Is no longer recognized by
democrats. No, Mr.. Advertiser, we don't
want any mixin' in ours, but we cheerful
ly recommend to you the Double Springs
Observer and the Southern Republican,
as newspapers likely to accept your mag
nanjmous offer. They are of your kind
and a header, 1.-TWO Great Republican
Newspapers for the Price of One" would
be appropriate in their columns, not in

PRAYERS OF THE WICKED.

The Montgomery Advertiser had col
umn leader one day last week telling
what the "other fellows" should do in
order to get Frank Glass, Tom Jones, Tom
Clarke and a few others Of their stripe
back into the democratic party. 1t called
it getting together" According to the
tone of the article in question the dem
ocratic press of the state and the lead
ers should play shut-mouth as to the
course of the Advertiser and the bakers
dozen who followed it off, they should
plead and pray at least twice day to
Tom Jones and Glass "to let's get to-
gether." The democratic party which
carried the state by 10000 majority should
go moping around with long faces and
unkempt hair humbly begging Tommy
Jones, Tommy Clarke and Frankly Glass
"to let's get together" Under such con-
dition the above named gentlemen will
condescend to get down off their high
perch of democracy and run the risk of
getting their pure unsullied garments
soiled by again joining the common herd.
From other articles appearing in the
same issue we suppose the Advertiser
and Its crowd reserves the right to abuse
Bryan and his followers all it pleases.-

THE WORK OF REFORMATION.

will of the people What did the Adver-
tiser and its friends do at Indianapolis?
Did they not set aside the will of the
party? If Mr. Bryan should accept the
work of Hanna and his Doodle as the Will
of the people, the gold bug contingent
certainly should. We should therefore
look for them In the future vieing with
Hanna in the service of the trusts. Ha?

VOTE sHAMEFULLY SMALL.

The vote of Palmer and Buckner was
shamefully small everywhere-so small
that very few counties make mention of
their vote at all in giving the returns.
They may have received 10 votes in this
county, of $780, we do not know. but every
where it seems to have been the same.
In the close states, like Kentucky, Indi-
ana and Illinois, the sound money demo-
Gratis talked Palmer and Buckner until
the very pinch of time, and then went
like men and voted for McKinley.-Do-
than Siftings
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-11-14

The silver people have no objection to
Hanna's keeping up the fight. The thing
they want is general and permanent
prosperity in this country and that is the
only thing that can keep them from
winning In 1900 and they are sufficiently
patriotic not to want to win if the gold
standard is right.

ONLY TO AID M'KINLEY.

Every we'll informed man knew when
Palmer and Buckner were nominated at
Indianapolis that they would only ala
Mckinley in his race for the presidency.
No one looked upon them as bona fide
candidates. They were looked upon in
no other light than as decoys to draw
strength from the Chicago ticket and
help Mckinley. No man admires trait
or and these two renegades were traitors
doubled dyed. Their nomination caused
many a good man to stray from the path
of duty and commit acts that he will live
to be ashamed Of Instead of the names
of Palmer and Buckner being written on
the pages of history in letters of gold, IL
mentioned at all, 1t will be to paint them
in their true colors, as political rene
gades. unworthy of respect of the lowest
