L v PATRIOTISM OF THE PEOPLE.

The increased registration throughout the state is an encouraging sign of the times, and in connection with the great popular uprising of the last sixty days is of more than passing significance.
 It shows that greater interest Is being manifested by the voters of the country those who support the government. and bear it's burdens-in the great question now before the American people for set tlement at the ballot box. It signifies
 that there is genuine revival of true democracy abroad in the land that the honest masses of the common people are at last aroused to the necessity of "a gov ernment of the people, for the people and by the people," and that the affairs of state and nation shall be administered along the lines of the doctrines of Jeffer- son and Jackson and the llustrious founders and upbuilders of the American republic. It means that the great, throb- ping heart of the people is ahame with the fire of patriotism, and that the peo- pie themselves are alive and responsive to the rights and duties of patriotic citi- zenship.
 It signifies that those who for years have been hewers of wood and drawers of water have awakened to a sense of the wrongs and injustice that have been im- posed upon them by unconscionable task masters in the great financial centers of America and Europe and realize the pow CT of the ballot to remedy the evils they have borne and secure relief from the burdens of thirty years of legallzed rob bery and spollation they have suffered under republican legislation for the ben eft of the classes and against the welfare and interests of the toiling masses, and that they are determined to use this mighty force as the fulcrum to raise them
 from their bondage 10 the high level of free and independent American citizen ship, where they will exercise and enjoy the just and equal rights of industrious and frugal manhood unrestrained by une- qual and unjust laws.
 The great interest now being manifest ed by the people in political affairs em- phasizes a fact which the tariff-enriched barons, the money lxings-the oligarchic plutocracy of the countrywide exclusive beneficlaries of a quarter of century's vicious and ruinous republican legisla- ton, had done well to learn and appre- ciate long before this. And that fact is that in this republic there is a reserve force mightier than the oceans tides, stronger than the money power and the strength of unjust gislation-namely, the invincible will and undying patriotism of the people. This force once in motion, 1 as 1t now is will never halt in it's onward course until the great underlying princi- ples of democracy are firmly and perma- nently re-established and become the l chart and compass of the administration of the affairs of this nation, as they have l eyer been the bulwark of it's power and glory.

srA1n DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We. the democrats of the state of Ala hama, in convention assembled, declare our continued faith in the old time ana honored principles of the democratic party, and among these pIlnciples are the following:
 The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to as the standard money of the country, without any dls- crlmination against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, as the United States coined silver and cold 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 jury 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 a govern p,ent 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 he 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 he enacted under which primary elec- tions 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

COMPLEMENT FROM WASHINGTON

The New York Worlds special corre- spondent from Washington, referring to Captain Johnston's great victory in this state compliments MT. John w. Tomlin- son as the member of the bimetallic dem- ocratlc national committee from Ala bama and the splendid organization of which he was the head in this state. The Worlds correspondent, commenting that organization in certain states was requisite, says:
 ''Alabama was an excellent example There was confidence that the gold standard would win there, but the silver organization extended into every pre- cinct in the state. The result at the pri- maries was proof of the thoroughness and value of this organization"
 Alabama was one of the first states to act and all the forces of the advocates of the single gold standard were concen- trated here. But, as the correspondent well says, "the silver sentiment already existed. It merely required organization to make the sentiment manifest itself at the primaries and in the county con- ventions." Furthermore the people had a great and true leader-Joseph F, John StOu,

TRUTH vs. THE LIVING TRUTH.

The Living Truth, the organ of the 'co-operationists" in Butler county, has recently sought to discredit the adminis- traton of Governors Jones and Oates by perverting and garbling facts published in the state auditors reports. Of course it's publication was made not so much for assailing these administrations as to reflect upon and condemn the democratic party.
 The arraignment attempted by the Living Truth was adrolt and artful enough to possibly impress one who had not the auditors reports before him that the ex-governor and Governor Oates had at least recbessly used the peoples money for improper purposes without any authority of law. Ordinarily 1t would be well enough to pass without notice any assaults from that source, but in this instance the governor deem- ed it eXpedient to review the article in question and correct it's false state ments. This he did in letter to the state press published Sunday morning. No fair and unprejudiced person, after reading what the governor had to say in reply to the charges, can but conclude that they were illogical, unjust and
 without the basis of truth. He clearly shows that every dollar of the peoples money paid into the state treasury from the inauguration of Governor Jones to date has been economically expended and honestly accounted for. Governor Oates has done the people a service in exposing the falsity of the charges made against their public servants.
 Evidnntlv when Editor Whitehead at tackled the integrity of two democratic administrations he thought he was deal ing out 'fhot stuff" but when he tackled the governors reply he felt that he had unwittingly picked up red hot brick.

In the case of Murray (colored) against Elliott (white) the report of the minority Of the committee concludes thus. .Un- less tke presumption is indulged that every man who has black skin is repub- llcan ard votes the republican ticket at all times and under all conditions and circumstances, even when he swears that he voted otherwise it will be iIn- possible to give the contestant (Murray) the seat which he claims" In spite .of this report, signed by one republican and two democrats, MT.
