REUBEN STILL RoMANCINa.

Reuben F. Kolb telegraphed the Atlan- ta Constitution on the night of the Sd that the democrats were holding back the returns from the black belt counties to see how much majority was needed, when, in truth and fact, eleven out of thirteen black belt counties were the first to report the vote cast. Reuben claimed the state for Goodwin by 15,000, and this was about correct as Reuben usually claimed the state for himself by 60,000 and always got left. Reuben has gotten so used to crying fraud that no one in Alabama pays the least attention to him. He and sam Adams and the Evangel Manning have all been repudiated in populite counties, and it Is time that they were understanding that no respectable citizen considers anything they have to say. Farewell, Reuben! Retire to a well-deserved oblivion, and pull the polit- ical hole in after you.

Ohio to record herself in favor Of the Chicago platform by a plurality of at least 50,O00."
 The event at Canton Is but an indlca- ton of what is transpiring in a quiet way throughout the length and breadth of the union. The people are aroused as they never before have been to a sense of the dangers which confront and will ovsrwhelm them unless they act as free men and patriots in defense of their homes and the honor and welfare of their country, They are breaking the bonds of partisan ties, forgetting past party affiliations and rallying to the support of democratic principles as the only guarantee of the perpetuation of American freedom and constitutional lib- erty in this republic. The great, pa- triotic, unpurchasable masses of the American people are behind this move- ment for financial reform, because it is right, and are determined to carry it to signal triumph, and they cannot be de- tered from their purpose by any power on earth.
 By the grace of divine providence and the patriotism of the honest masses of the common people, and through the in- strumentality of the democratic party, the reign of plutocracy and corruption in this republic is fast drawing to a close.

TIME VINDICATEs US.

Some few chicken-hearted democrats were of the opinion that the State Herald was rather hard on the editor- -in-chief of the Advertiser in the article noting the passing of that distinguished gentleman politically It was intimated in some quarters that the major, though out of line with the large majority of the party on the financial question, was neverthe- less a good loyal democrat, and there fore should he handled very gently. It was said that the very fact that he would not longer remain candidate for con- gress on a platform at that time known 10 be contrary to what the party would declare for was evidence of his undying loyalty to the party.
 The Advertiser, taking advantage of the editorial expressions of two or three state papers with reference to the edito- rial on the passing of it's editor-in-chief, raised the howl of injured innocence and sought to make believe that this paper was inclined to speak disrespectfully of the great and good.
 It would be interesting to know how those who thought at that time the State Herald was probably little too severe on the editor-in-chef think about the matter now. The editor-in-chief of the Advertiser, it will be remembered, pro- claimed that it was then certain that the national democracy was going to declare on the financial question very differently to the views entertained by him on that question, and, not desiring nomination on a platform not in line with the party, he therefore, and for that reason, would no longer be a candidate for congress. Now what do we find? The Advertiser with the same edtor-in-chief leading a bolt from the democratic party and in the interest of Mckinley and Mark Hanna trying to get out third ticket. That is the democratic saint it was thought the State Herald was pelting little too hard d few weeks ago.

THE UNKINpEsT CUT OF ALI.

At Canton, O., the home or MaJor Mc- Kinley, thereAwas organized last Friday night Bryan and Sewall silver club with a membership of nearly 600 to start with, composed indiscriminate!y of dem- ocrats, republicans, populites and pro- hibitionists.
 There were several noteworthy fea- lures of the meeting It was almost en- tirely an impromptu meeting, having been advertised but few hours. At least 1900 men tried to crowd into the as- sembly room of the city hall, which was not nearly large enough to hold the peo- pie, and a great many could not gain admittance. It was essentially silver gathering and all party lines were ob- liberated. Ringing speeches for free sil- yer and the democratic national ticket and platform were made by democrats, populists, prohibitionists and republic ans alike. Many of the latter are per- sonal friends and neighbors of the re- publican candidate for president; have been lifelong republicans and never be- fore failed to vote for Mckinley and sup port the republican party. Among these was Col N. Holloway, prominent citi- zen, warm personal friend and near HelStlDOl ol 4hdJoi AANiNhhtSo, oiio Niho for number of years has been a mem Der of the Grand Army of the Republic post to which the major belongs. While addressing the meeting he spoke highly of Major Mckinley as neighbor, but said he could not support him:
 T have voted the republican ticket for thirty-eight years" said Colonel Bollo- way, but I am not going to vote 1t this year. l want to say to you that I am here for the purpose of offering my ser vices to assist in the election of MT. Bryan and the triumph of the silver cause. When I can be of any service be assured that you have but to command me-"
 The republicans were dumbfounded at the remarkable display of free silver's strength under the very shadow of their presidential! candidates dwelling, and es- pecially were they dismayed that so much of 1t should come from his own neighbors and party and personal friends. Colonel Holloway's stand was q veritable bomb shell explosion in their midst. and after the meeting a number of his republican friends exerted them selves to persuade him to take the back track. but to them he said:
 Gentlemen. this movement is right. and you can't stop it with bluster or pur- power. confidently expect

A QUICK RESPONSE.

The readers of the State Herald will remember that Sunday morning we pub lished and commented upon an Omaha, Neb., dispatch of July 31, which stated that the First National bank of Alliance, of that state, had begun putting the thhmbscrews on its customers by call ing in it's loans and refusing to extend further accommodation. The alleged reason for this performance was "the constant agitation of the financial policy of the United States and the socialistic feeling emanating from the Chicago con- vention,'' and other like rot. We pre- dicted that that letter would develop re- suits entirely different from those an- ticpated and desired by the goldbug crowd; and now we have later dispatch from the same place concerning that same letter, which says:
 "The letter has turned at least 100 Me Kinley followers into ardent Bryan men. The republican leaders in this country concede that they cannot hope to do any thing here for Mckinley, as public senti- ment is aroused and men of all parties declare openly that they will vote for free silver and not be driven or in- 1uenced by the money power of the country"
 Nothing will help the cause of financial reform more than the efforts which the banks, railroads, life insurance com panies and other great corporations are making to coerce their patrons, employees and dependents to embrace gold mono metallism McKinleyism and other in famous iniquities of the republican par ty. The programme should be carried out in full.
