GOODWIN ONLY.

Colonel Elliott, whom Mr.. Goodwin
voted to turn out in order to put coal
black negro in his place. was gallant
Confederate soldier, shot down many
times in battle during the war, a man Of
irreproachable character and a generous,
honest warm hearted, Christian gentle
man. In order to defeat him twenty pre-
cincts in the city of Charleston were
thrown out, the white people disfran-
chised and negro votes were counted for
Murray where the negroes themselves
testified that they had not voted for him.
Notwithstanding all these things, Good
wyn voted to turn Elliott out and put
Murray in, but 1t is to be said to the
credit of the populites in congress that
he (Goodwyn) was the only one of their
congressman who voted for Murray. The
others either voted against Murray or
refused to vote. 1t has come to the State
Herald that GOODWIN tried to get NJ w.
Howard, the congressman from the Sew
enth Alabama district to vote for MUIR
ray and that Howard refused to do so.
One republican who was on the commit
tee that tried the case, and gave careful
attention to 1t, more than Goodwin could
have DONE voted against the negro and
reported over his own signature that FL
lott had been honestly elected

THEY THINK US LOOMS,

Some idea of about how the leaders
of the goldbug democracy in New York
estimate the democrats of the south can
be obtained from a careful analysis of
the following clippings taken from the
news columns of the New York Journal
of Wednesday. Messrs. Hill, Whitney.
Ex-Governor Flower and others held a
conference Tuesday, and the Journal
says 1t was agreed that they would go
to Chicago and fight for the gold stand
ard. The following conclusion was
reached in reference to a possible way
to win:
1.-THE southern democracy are to be
directly appealed to. The rallying cry
will be that New York is again a reliable
democratic state now that a bitter fac
tional fight IS on in the republican party.
The average southern democrat puts
party success before everything else,
and hence 1t is thought this argument
will have effect A large proportion of
southern democrats, it was claimed, were
for silver because they believed that
without that issue there was no chance
of success. as New York was lost to
them"

PLAIN DECLARATIONS.

The republicans have named their tick
ct and made their platform. We must
say that it is plain, clear cut declara-
ton on all the questions in which the
public generally is interested. 1t de-
clares for the British gold standard and
for protective tariff. About these dec
larations there can be no question. 1t is
the first time in the history of the party
that it has come out squarely on the
financial question. 1t has been a party
whose leaders and directors have favored
the gold standard since John Sherman
began in 1873 to shapesi its policy on that
question, but regularly each four years
since that time it has succeeded in de-
ceiving a large number of the voters in
its ranks by vague and indefinite deela-
rations on that question in its platforms.
This time there was no chance to dodge.
The silver men were clamoring for a
straight declaration, so were the gold
men. The former have grown so poor
under. the gold standard that they de-
termined to have the party they had been
voting for so long come out plainly and
unequivocally and promise to extend
them the relief it had SO often vaguely
intimated that 1t would extend as soon
as the way was entirely clear. The lat
ter had grown so rich under it that they
stood up 1at-footed and demanded that
the platform be made to declare plainly
that they were to continue to reap its
benefits.
When told that if their demands were
acceded to the silver men would depart
from the party they said let them CO. We
will use some of the fruits we have gath
"a cta oY.I froa in h,1u
ing others to fill their places.
Everybody knows what the tariff decla-
ration means. 1t means the re-enact-
ment of the Mckinley tariff, law that
fostered trusts and combines while they
fleeced the government and the people.
The other p1anlzs, while numerous, are
in line with all former declarations of
the party
The temperance people are given slice
of sympathy. The women are invited
to urge their brothers, sons, fathers and
husbands to vote the republican ticket,
but they are not promised anything in
particular and very little in general.
Being intensely democratic, we cannot
agree with any of the declarations of the
platform which deal with mooted ques-
lions, and especially do we desire to en-
phasize our objections to the doctrines
as laid down in the platform on the tar
if and financial questions. Yet we are
glad they are just what they are. espe-
cially since it paves the way for square,
straight fight between the two parties
on those the two leading issues.
The democracy will in a few days take
up the gauge of battle as thrown down
by the st. Louis platform, and the first
Tuesday in November will mark the
passing away of the republican party,
likely for all time to come.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-06-20

The republicans in their platform
roundly denounce the issuance of bonds
in time of peace. OF course the makers
of the platform were entirely in the dark
as to the very recent record their men,
bership in congress had made. Only a
few days before the assembling of the st.
Louis convention a bill to prohibit the
further issuance of bonds, introduced by
Senator Butler, was passed in the senate
over the vote of every republican senator
except the silver republicans. Upon
reaching the house the bill was killed,
every republican in that body voting
against it. Senator Lodge, who played
so important part in making the plat
form which denounoes the issuance OF
bonds, voted against the Butler anti-bond
bill. We are unalterably opposed to the
issuance of bonds in time of peace; still
we have no patience with such glaring
inconsistencies as was displayed by the
republicans in denouncing the issuance
of them. Their party. through its member
ship in congress, having only few days
ago gone on record in favor of bond is
sues by voting against proposition to
prevent the further issuance of them. 1t
appears, would have caused less cheeky
set of fellows to at least have remained
silent ON that question.

force bills they desire. Not only that,
but they will be enabled to wipe out the
colored line, which the people of the
south have maintained for the last thirty
years."
Oh, yes, says Flower, tell them that
free silver will bring up sectional issues
and the ''rads" will put force bin on
them. If that don't move them, tell them
that the "rads' will wipe out the color
line. 1t win be amusing to Hill, whitney
& Co. to see the southern democrats
tremble in their boots as all the direful
results of a refusal to vote to please J.
Pierpont Morgan are portrayed to them.
Seriously, we think it is about time the
southern democracy was serving notice
on Hill, Whitney and Flowers sort
that they are not for or against meas
ures just according as they may think
New York state stands politically. 1t
we don't have to shape our convictions
on political or other questions to suit
Wall street in order to keep the color line
from being broken down. The republican
party has done its best in the past and
more than it will ever be able to do in
the future to break the color line down
in the south, but 1t can't do it. There are
other important matters that the south
ern democracy should acquaint New
Workers with, and this, it appears to us,
is the year in which it is going to be
done, too. When Hill, Whitney &c Co.
get back from Chicago this time we shall
be very much mistaken if they have not
to considerable extent changed in their
opinions Of the southern democracy.

beautiful horse shoe of white daisies. In
few well chosen words the minister
pronounced them man and wife. Dur

as solemn and impressive.
