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: - s
 The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to l as the standard money of the country, without any dls- crimination 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 great mass of the people.
 9 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unconstitutional penalty of 10 per centum on each issue of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed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 ynent in this state fair and just to all, under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 he 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 be 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.

An Honest Dollarl aye, the cry Throughout the land is rising high. It Is the slogan of today
 To crush King Colds despotic sway. An Honest Dollar, so you're told, Is only made of yellow gold God save the mark-a gilded thief It is that breeds distress and grief It robs the farmer of his toll, Who tills the rich and fertile soil; In vain he follows up the blow With honest sweat upon his brow; In vain he sows, in vain he reaps, Though harvest time its promise keeps; For gold condemns the generous sod That marks the providence of God. On industry it lays it's hand, And factories close at it's command: The rusted wheel, the silent mill Are but the vassals of it's will. It stills the busy hum of trade, While mortgages and liens are made. By it our commerce is assailed; Its epitaph for "Failed! Down. down 1t cuts the laborers hire, Nor cares what daily needs require. It fllches from its scanty store; The gaunt-eyed wolf leads to his door; His willing hands, unused to shirk, Are cheated of their honest work; It brands him as a helpless slave, Then digs for him a pauper's grave. Iris gold, the sordid yellow gold The millionaire and miser hold. Iris gold that plays ready part In Wall streets ruthless, greedy mart Iris gold that husbands squalid care; Iris gold that dallies with despair; Iris gold with want goes hand in hand; Iris gold that blights bounteous land. An Honest Dollar! Twill be seen Alone upon the slver's sheen. unsullied, spotless., pure and white, The silver dollar glistens bright; And cleaning in it's furnished rays Hope sees the light of better days, When gold, the coin of grasping. greed, Shall cease to scorn peoples heed.

GOODWIN WOULD VOTE FOR A ME-
 GRO FOR GOVERNOR.

On September 2, 1895, there was pub lie speaking al Mount Carmel, Montgom- cry county, Alabama. Captain Johnston, MT. Goodwin, Major Screws and Mir. Thomas H. Clark made speeches. Below we reproduce a portion of the report of the meeting published at the time and never as yet questioned as to the truth fulness of it. This publication shows that MT. Goodwin deliberately declared that under certain circumstances he would vote for negro for governor of the state of Alabama. Not only would he vote for negro for governor, but for anything else-judge, clerk, sheriff-in preference to white man under certain circumstances. Read what he said:
 MT Goodwyn then branched off into the usual populite denunciation of the organized democracy, charging that they held power by ballot box stufflng, and expressing a willingness to unite with any party in the coming contest for the purpose of securing fair elections in Ala bama, and of his intention to have in vestigating committees of congress to come down and see about recent cleo tions.
 MT. Clark then said: T want to ask another question, senator: In the event that the coalition nominate a negro for governor will you vote for the negro?'
 MT. Goodwin hesitated, and MT. Clark said that the senator hesitates; repeat the question and urge him to be frank enough to answer it.
 "Mr Goodwin replied that he would vote for negro at any time for any thing in preference to a ballot box suffer-
 "Ths reply created considerable ex- citement among the audience. MT. Clark insisted upon a more definite answer. but MT. Goodwin excitedly answered. as he had already answered, that he would vote for negro for anything in prefer ence to a ballot box suffer
 MT Clark then said that the senator had charged in his speech that Governor Oates had been elected last year by fraud and ballot box stuffing, and that the democratic party was guilty of whole sale ballot box stuffing, and that he (Mr. ClarlO would ask the senator that in the event Governor Oates, whom he had charged with holding office by reason of fraud and ballot box stuffing, should be renominated to succeed himself, or If Captain Johnston who was a member of the democratic party which the senator had charged with being in favor of fraud and ballot box stufiing, was nominated for the office of governor by the demo- cratic party, and the coalition of the populist party and the republican party should be made and they should nomi- nate negro for governor in opposition to either one of these gentlemen who should be nominated for governor next year, would the senator vote for the ne- gro?'
 'The senator not answering, MT. Clark said: Unless the senator answers one way or the other shall ask this audi ence to assume that he would vote for the negro, and MT. Goodwin still sat silent'
 We challenge MT. Goodwin to deny a single statement made in the above re- port. We are prepared to prove the truth of every word of it by populites as we'll as democrats.

Keep It Up, Captain.
Tuskaloosa Times.

USkdIOOSa Times.
 Capt. Joseph F. Johnston, democra tic nominee for governor of Ala bama, made the opening speech of the state campaign at Leeds last Saturday morning. A good crowd heard the address, while a grand argument for democratic principles and the continued control of public affairs in the state of Alabama by the democratic party was made.
 The patriotic utterances of our gallant standard bearer aroused the utmost en- thusiasm, and few more such speeches delivered in various sections of the state would win thousands of votes for the ticket. Keep 1t up, captain, and youTI soon have the enemy on the run.

 Last Saturday was the last day of reg istration, as the books closed on that day as the law directs. There seems to have been pretty full registration so far as heard from over the county. This beat (No. p registers about 500. as against 554 two years since, and we think this per- centage of increase will hold good throughout the county. That, with the addition of Oklahoma, will give old Franklin a pretty increase in her vote this year.

 Now, after this speech from our able standard bearer how can man calling himself democrat turn his back upon this true, faithful, experienced exponent and leader of democracy? We do not be- lieve that any true democrat will do it. He can't do it. The man that fails to stand up to the party now may say he is democrat, but that is all. He will never get them to believe him.

 Today the unconquerable democracy of the great commonwealth of Kentucky will renew its faith and declare its fealty to the undying'principle of democracy as taught by Thomas Jefferson and main tained by Andrew Jackson.

Captain Goodwin. writes a second let ter. It is more offensive than the first and plainly shows that he Is mad His little scheme was knocked into a cooked hat, and. If he wants joint debate sure enough, there is a decent way of getting it.-Gadsden Tmes-News.
 Captain Goodwin knows how to pro- ceed in order to get joint debate. The tact displayed by him in his procedure to avoid joint discussion evidences the fact that had he really wanted to meet the democratic nominee on the stump he knew how to bring about the opportunity. The republican nominee does not want a joint debate. In fact he was on nettles until he finally got himself hedged in from the thing. Joint discussions are things that republican nominees in Ala bama are very much afraid of. No man who claims to represent 142, 900 negro voters and only 75,000 white voters wants to stand up before the bearer of the col ors of the tic-the only white mans party in Alabama.

Senator Brice bows to the inevitable and gracefully acknowledges the defeat in the democratic party of British and republican doctrines of finance. He is reported to have recently said: 'The free coinage democrats have won fairly They want to run the democratic party for while. Let them do it.

little to do with It, but the sweeping re- vival of genuine democratic doctrine and the invincible determination of the people to have hand in shaping the destlnies of this republic and directing the poll c.es of the government they support set tied the matter. Senator Brice should not critieise the president too harshly.
 How does Candidate Goodwin reconcile his advocacy of a high protective tariff with that cardinal doctrine of the popu- lite party, viz: tariff for revenue only, which means tariff levied for the ex- elusive purpose of raising revenue with out regard to protection. Candidate Goodwin has undertaken the impossible feat of riding at one time two horses run ming at full speed in opposite directions. The result will be what it has ever been, namely,a split in his circus paraphernalla and collapse of the reckless rider.
