HE GOT ENOUGH.

Not very long ago the distinguished gentleman who apparently had taken the contract to see to 1t that such silver represent the state of Arkansas on the floor of the senate of the United States announced his withdrawal from the con- test. In other words he gave up his contract He got enough and quit We are now informed that MT. Sevier has found the thing a little too severe down in Arkansas for him. He has been try ing to hold the silverloons at bay over in Arkansas. He wanted to perform in the role of chief executive of that great state. Somebody had assured him that the silver craze was dead. Having the laudable ambition to be governor of his state and placing confidence in the oft expired, MT. Sevier shied his castor into the ring over in "Arkansaw." The dis patches from Little Rock bearing date of April 26 inform the public that the Hon. A. A. Sevier, in a card to the public, declines to run for governor any longer. He too, has got enough. He closes his card with the following:
 Recognizing that state issues in this campaign are being wholly disregarded or obscured, by the all-absorbing silver question, and feeling that I am not in accord with the prevailing idea that we should not support the nominee of the Chicago convention unless he should be a free silver man upon free silver plat form, retire from the canvass"

Kentucky Politics.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
 We read that our democratic neighbors in Kentucky have not yet fraternized on the money question. Those among them who advocate the gold standard are un- willing to ignore that issue for the sake of harmony and union in the party. We can see no reason for this, except their intention to fight for the gold standard, whether the democratic party agrees to it or not. They probably realize that in a democratic convention they would cer- tainly be in the minority and that the delegation to the national convention Rather than such result they will cent senatorial contest. The gold stand ard men will be in minority. and those of them who can be controlled by the federal administra tion will bolt and send a contestng delegation to Chicago. The rule or ruin policy under which hand full of bolters prevented the election of a United States senator, and which de- prives Kentucky of her equal repre- sentation in the senate until another leg islature can be chosen, was adopted at the bidding of federal administration, which now asks the indorsement of every democratic state convention. It is the policy which that administration will pursue in the national convention. If the majority of that body shall declare in favor of free coinage of gold and silver at 1G to 1, no sane man doubts that every cuckoo delegate will walk out of the con- yention and that they will put up can didate to be running mate with the re- publican nominee.

ARRANSAS.

Arkansas will go for free silver by even larger majority than Alabama has giv- en. MT. Sevier, the sound money candi- date, has withdrawn from the race for governor This leaves in the field only two candida ates-Ex-Attorney-G General D. w. Jones and James H. Herrod, both ar dent supporters of the free coinage of sil- yer a the ratio of 16 to 1. The only diff ference between the two candidates is that Jones says that he will bolt the Chi cago convention if @ "sound money" platform is adopted while Herrod de- clares that he will abide the will of the majority, no matter what the result may be. Twenty-one counties have held pri- maries up to date. Jones has about 100 instructed votes and Herrod 75 Sevier has only carried one county. Major Se- vier says that he is satisfied from the canvass that he has made that the senti- ment of a large majority of the, demo- cratic party in Arkansas is in favor of the most extreme measures in regard to the silver question.
 "fhe present silver situation reminds me- he says, "of the period just before the war. The bolt at Charleston drove the democratic party from power for thirty years and resulted in civil war A bolt at Chicago, in my opinion, will again result in the election of a republi- can president, and may cause the demo- cratic party to put on sackcloth and ash es for another generation. I am a con servative democrat. I do not believe we can have the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by this government alone. I have en- deavored in my feeble way to show the people of Arkansas that the success and probably the preservation of the demo- cratic party, as well as the general vel fare and prosperity of the union, de- bends upon harmony at Chicago: The effort was in vain. Recognizing that state issues in this campaign are being wholly disregarded or obscured by the all-absorbing silver question, and feeling that l am not in accord with the prevail ing idea that we should refuse support to the nominee of the, Chicago convention unless he shall be free silver man, upon free silver platform, have decided to retire from the canyass.'

John c. Carlisle will now have to de- eide between the democratic party and the president. AS a democrat he has a warm place in the hearts of the demo- crats of his state. If he should aid the president in dividing and destroying the democratic party of Kentucky he will lose his standing in the state. Nor can he occupy middle ground. Pontias Pi- late remained neutral when he could have prevented the crucifxion, and his name comes down through the ages linked with the crucfiers. Every demo- crat in the country who cares for the con- tlnued existence of the party would ba glad to hear MT. Carlisle say to the pres- fdent:
 You are my official chief. When I can- not obey your official orders I will resign. In politics am an unconditional demo- crat, but you are not. I will urge my views upon the democratic party in my state, but if l am oyerruled I will con- tinue to act with the party which hon ored me With commissions to both houses of congress before I held a commission rom you as secretary of the treasury"
 MT. Carlisle owes this to his party. He owes It to his own character in Kentucky. The men of Kentucky. aye and the wom- en, too, regard loyalty to party and to friends as an indispensable element in manhood. Let us hope that Mr Carlisle will pass safely through the test to which his loyalty to his friends of a lifetime is now to be subiected

THEN AND NOW,

Twenty years ago, when Ohio presented Governor Hayes as a candidate for the | presidency, the republican convention of | that state said:
 We recognize gold as the true stand ard of value, and the only steady and safe basis for a circulating medium, and l declare that that policy of finance should | be steadily pursued which, without un- necessary injury to business or trade, will ultimately equaliZe the value of the coin and paper dollar"
 That was in 1876. Now In 1896 the re- publican convention of Ohio says: "We contend for honest money. for currency of gold, silver and paper with which to measure our exchanges that shall be as sound as the government and as untarnished as its honor; and to that end we favor bimetallsm and demand the use of both gold and silver as standard money, either in accordance with a ratio to be fixed by an international agree ment eff that can be obta ined) or under such restrictions and such provisions to l be determined by legislation as will se- | cure the maintenance of the parties of values of the two metals, so that the pur- | chasing and debt-paying power of the | dollar. whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal"
 Upon this latter platform it is proposed l that Mr. Mckinley shall stand. It will | be observed that the republicans have l made rapid strides towards free silver in l the past twenty years. Speaking of the latter resolution, the New York Post ob- serves that it's meaning is involved by | the character and record of the man who stands upon it-a man who once voted for | the free coinage of silver, who a dozen years later supported the silver purchase act of 1890 as the nearest possible ap-
 proach to free coinage which could be
 secured at that time, and whose non
 committal position now justifies the fear l that he would interpose no executive veto against any legislation determining
 those restrictions and provisions, howev- CT reckless and dangerous 1t might be. Twenty years ago the country knew ex-
 actly what to expect of the Ohio candi- l date In regard to his financial position
 should he become president. This year everybody is in the dark as to the atti- ! tude of the executive if the Ohio candi- date should become president next l March.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We. the democrats of the state of Ala bama in convention assembled declare our continued faith in the old time ana honored principles of the democratic party, and among these principles are the following:
 The free and unlimited coinage or silver and gold at 16 to as the standard money of the country, without any dls- crimination against either metal ana without the consent of foreign nations, as the United States coined silver and gold before the republican party ob- tained control of the government and changed the coinage laws of the country for the benefit of a class and to the in- iury of a great mass of the people.
 ?. The unconstitutional penalty of 10 per centum on each issue Of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed.
 If is our purpose to maintain govern ment in this state fair and just to all, under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 The faith and credit of the state must be maintained untarnished.
 Our system of public education should be improved and extended so far as the state has the ability, without oppressive taxation.
 We are in favor of honest and fair elections, and we recommend that laws be enacted under which primary elec- lions and other party proceedings for the selection of candidates may be con- ducted.
 We cordially invite all good citizens of this state, and especially all democrats who strayed from the party, to unite with us in an earnest and determined ef- fort to maintain good government in the state of Alabama.
 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace, and, if possible, the prosperity of our state.

 Decatur, April 27.-(Special)- 1.-The United States steamer Colbert left for Chattanooga early yesterday morning.
 The Decatur Epworth league held an interesting session Friday night.
 Universal sympathy is expressed here for the beloved wife of Rev. T. J. Ali son. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in her protracted sufferings. This lady has been great sufferer for many months and it is thought she cannot re- cover.
 The remains of Mrs. Mary Landers, mother of Mrs. Joseph Smith of this city, and relict of Philip Landers, deceased, was brought from Chicago and inferred by the side of her husband on the 20th in- stant. Both MT. and Mrs. Landers had reached the age of so years at the time of death, the husband having died three years ago.
 St. John's Protestant Episcopal church has made an attractive addition to the rectory. Early Thursday morning an unknown man was killed on the Louisville and Nashville track just north of the New Decatur depot Through trains going north over the road change engines at this point. Immediately after the fresh engine had been attached to the train the body was found the engine having passed over the breast and arms of the man, resulting in instant death. A col ored hack driver from Birmingham iden- tified the man as tramp he had seen begging the previous night in that city. It is supposed the man had beaten his way here and. in attempting to board the engine truck was killed. The re mains were buried here Thursday. l . The Decatur Land company held it's annual meeting of stockholders in New Decatur on the 21st instant. There were |. represented 22.0S7 shares and the follow ing board of directors were chosen: J. D. | Probst, A. c. Hartshorn, c. c. Harris. John R. Rutter James Swan, P. J. Good hart, W. T4Mulligan, Henry Stern. Gen. Joseph Wheeler. Mayor Lehman and s. Fisher Johnson.

Judge Aston ,

Judge A. H. Aston was in town yester- day. The judge was en route to Mont gomery. where he proposes to take hand in governor making today The judge loves political bout as much as any man in this country. He goes into it for the pure love of 1t and can hold his hand with any of them. He perhaps, contributed more to Johnston's success and yesterday, 1t was plain to be seen, he was proud of his victory. He was en- toying himself. He guyed the Times man, but we told him we would rather be right than president, anyhow, and was not grieving. And we would, by George! -Eufaula Times

Free silver sentiment in Kentucky, says Louisville special to the St. Louis Republic, was never so strong as now, as is shown by the recent defeat of Sena- tor Walton at the special election a few days since, MT. Bale, a free silver ad- vocate. MT. Bale and Dr. Walton ran in Governor Buckner's own county Hart-and Bale got a majority of 160, though last fall Walton carried 1t by 400. The decisive victory has greatly encour- aged the free silver men all over the state and the Louisville free coinage committee has already begun house to house canvass and expect to make things lively very soon.
