MR.. CHAPEL COREY CHOSEN

In choosing Mr.. Chapel Corey as his
private secretary Gov.-Elect Johnston
has made a selection that can but meet
the appreciation of every good citizen in
Alabama
Alabama hasn't a more universally pop
ular citizen than Chapel Corey. Though
he has been absent from the state
and country for two years, none of us
had lost any of our old time affection for
this wise, prudent, cautious, considerate,
conservative, able, far-seeing, lovable and
greatly beloved young Albanian.
To know Chap Corey is to admire and
love him. He is the very man to fill the
position which has been rendered him by
Gov. Johnston.
The humblest citizen within the con-
fines of all Alabama will meet at the
hands of Mr.. Corey as private secretary
to the Governor of Alabama the very
same kind, courteous, considerate treat
ment If he visits the office of the chief
executive of the state as will President
elect Mckinley of the United States
should he come this way and take occa-
sion to spend a few moments in the Of
flee being occupied by a man who is yet
as firm believer in the doctrine of free
coinage as Mr. Mckinley was a few
years ago. The most important place
within the gift of the Governor of Ala
bama is the private secretaryship, and in
making this his first selection Gov. John
ston has shown that wisdom which his
friends have cause to believe will mark
his administration throughout.
The State Herald congra tulates Gov.
Johnston on being able to secure the SER
vices of Mr.. Corey in the capacity of
private secretary and congratulates the
people of Alabama on the advent of Mr..
Corey into that important position. We
also congratulate Mr.. Corey on having
met with the opportunity of occupying a
position which we are sure he will find
great pleasure In filing to the satisfac-
ton of all the people of Alabama, each
Of whom feels him or herself his personal
friend and each of whom after coming
u contact with him will go away assured
that in him they have found a perfect
gentleman, q lovable character and a
personal friend.

so far as their powers extend they have
faithfully discharged the duties imposed
upon them. A new constitution is recon-
mended and good and sufficient reasons
presented to the general assembly show
ing why our present organic law. framed
twenty-one years ago, is a misfit in many
particulars now.
There are many other important sug-
gestions worthy of comment contained in
the message. Some of which we shall no
doubt speak of in the near future in these
columns. A message of the unusual
length of the one under discussion cannot
in the short space allotted an editorial be
discussed fully.

The Eufaula Times has the following
to say with reference to the magnificent
victory of the gallant Clayton in the
Third district:
"Hon. John B. Ward, of Henry, was
in town yesterday. Mr. Ward is the DEM
ocratic member for Henry of the Third
district executive committee. He gave
us the full vote in Henry, and is the first
time that we have been able to get it.
The vote stood Conner, 654; Jackson, 921
Clayton, 2,150 Clayton led both his OPP
ponents by 575 He had plurality over
Jackson Of 1,220 and over Conner of 1,496.
He led In every beat in the county, with
two exceptions, and in these Jackson led.
LAS near as we can figure it out Clay
toms plurality over Conner in all the coun-
ties of the district, exclusive of Coffee
and Geneva, will amount to 5,321 These
two counties will give him about 800 to
1000 plurality. He will then lead Conner
by 5000 votes. Clayton's plurality over
Jackson will be about 1000.
Clayton, it will be seen, has a clearer
title to his seat than any man has had
from this district in thirty years"
If there be any inquisltive individual
who is not yet satisfied why Gen. G. p.
Harrison did not stand for reelection,
he will please study, carefully, the above.
