ence throughout and many strong Ciafke men expressed themselves as well pleased with his speech. Captain John ston began his speech by stating some of the reasons why MT Clarke was opposed 10 ms being governor; it was because he advocated the free coinage of silver, and diitered, in conservative way, With the views Of the administration but the greatest reason why MT. Clarke opposed ms nomination was because he wants the of1lce himself He was charged with be- Ing chronic office-seeker. He said that ne had helped fight the battles of the democratic party for thirty years, and had never held public office that he had never drawn a dollar of public mon- ey and had never run for but one office In his life-that of governor. He said that MT Clarke had been in office for the past twenty years, and, not contented with what he had already received was still seeking spells; that during the time he had held public positions he had drawn over $100,0 of the peoples money. He answered the charge made by Mr. Clarke's friends that he was afraid to meet the administration candidate on the stump. Captain Johnston said that his reason for refusing t participate in a joint discussion was because he did not believe that it was for the best interests of the party; that it would serve to rend it asunder by internal strife, and, instead of healing the old wounds, would make new ones.
 MT. Clarke had won no laurels and made no great speeches in congress dur ing his long service. When the force bill was agitated-a bill that threatened the
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-15

to have voted for Clarke. A great many of these men were met in the stores or workshops in the presence of their bosses or employers, whom they had promised to vote for Clarke, and of course they could with safety say they had carried out their promises faithfully. It was the most natural thing in the world for them to say, and the most natural way for them to get out of an embarrassing posi- ton. But there are many other eXplana- tions of the difference between the dis orepancy of the vote counted for Clarke and the vote the Advertiser claims he has received It is too silly, however to se- riously consider. The point the Journal desired to make is this, and it desires to use its identical language in it's reference 70 Kolbs cry of fraud in the contest for the gubernatorial nomination in 1892

safety of the entire south-Mr. Clarkes voice was as silent as the oysters which lie in Mobile bay. MT. Clarke had never entered into joint discussion with the enemy, and if he had ever shed any blood in a discussion it was democratic blood. Captain Johnston did not see why he should be afraid of meeting a pair of blue eyes.
 He then entered into a full discussion of the financial question, which he treat ed in his usual logical and masterly style.
 He made a splendid impression, and no doubt votes were made by his coming here. Captain Johnston will carry Abbe- vile beat by large majority.
 His enthusiastic friends claim the coun- ty for him. If Columbia and Headland go for Johnston (which his friends claim) he will win easily in Henry county. Ev- cry effort is being made by such men as Hon. John B. Ward of Abbeville, Captain Davis of Columbia and B. J. Fowster of Cowarts to swing this county in the Johnston column.
 If Johnston holds his own elsewhere he will gain more than enough votes in the Third district to elect him.
 A prominent third party man said yes terday that if Johnston was nominated a large number of the third party people of this county would vote for him in Au- gust. Captain Johnston spoke at Colum- bia Friday.

 Guin, March 14.-(Special) )-Colone1 Clarke spoke here Thursday to an audi ence of about seventy-fye or 100 persons, all Johnston men except about half doz- en. A large portion of his speech was a kind of tirade on Captain Johnston and Congressman Bankhead. His argument on the financial question was about the same that he has been making at other places, I suppose, but was delivered in a manner that would lead one to believe that he was on cold trail. I have can Nassed the town pretty closely since MT. Clarke'S speech and if he made a single convert I haven't been able to find him. The people of this county respect Colonel Clarke as a democrat of the gold stand ard kind and his ability, but he is simply not in it for governor so far as this coun- ty is concerned, for we recognize in Cap tain Johnston the ability to make us as good a governor as any man in the statd at this time and that his financial views are in keeping with large majority of our citizens, and last, but not least, he has proven himself true and loyal dem- ocrat, both by word and acts, upon all occasions when his help was needed, and he was a his post ready to give the party any assistance he could. For these and many other good reasons we could enumerate we are for Captain Johnston, believing him worthy and entitled to be made governor this time. Marion is for him at least 16 to 1.

The Republicans Put Out Straight Ticket
 Refused to Fuse.
 Jasper, March 14.-(Special)-The re- publican county convention was held to- day. An interesting feature is found in the fact that they put out a straight ticket, refusing to fuse with the popu- lists Several negroes participated and did committee work. This is something new in republican tactics here and sew eral rock-ribbed members of that party openly expressed supreme disgust at the innovation. Hon. B. M. Long was pres ident. The meeting elected delegates to the state and congressional conventions. This action forces the populists to follow suit and run an independent ticket, which leaves an open field for the democ- racy and Joseph Johnston. It is evident now that the money question will be the issue.
 The ticket nominated is: Henry Na- tions, representative; John B. Long, sheriff; N. H. Estes. treasurer; W. J. Phillips, tax collector; c. H. Cranford tax assessor; w. D. Wood, superntend- ent of education, and four commission CTS. Delegates to state and congressional conventions, B. M. Long, William Wood John B. Shields and l.. A. Coker.
 Prominent pops were in consultation all day They, too. threatened a full ticket, and will fight to finish.

gardless as to whether they are for Johnston or Clarke, believe the Morgan county brethren competent and honest enough to attend to their own affairs without outside interference. The course of the Advertiser is without precedent. It surely has forsaken all the principles of democracy, one of the chiefest of which is home rule.
 Discrediting the honesty and integrity of our party county organizations can only result in party disruption, and we can see but one purpose in the postoffice crowd. and that is to get up some excuse for bolting the state convention, as they are already bound to know that Captain Johnston will fe nominated. To make other people believe their reports of fraud they will have to send out some one else besides D. W. M. They have seen too many of his misrepresentations
