l his people were for free coinage they did
 not call him to account two years ago
 on the financial question. but it appears
 that this year they intend to be repre-
 scented on the floor of congress by man | who will cast his vote for the money of
 the constitution. With this fact the close
 friends of MT. Catchings down in his
 district seem to have become pretty we'll
 acquainted, and judging from the follow | ing press telegram sent out from Green
 vile, Miss, few days ago his friends down there have notified MT. Cetchings | of Mississippi that if he desired to con- tinue in congress he had best get on the
 band wagon. So desiring. it appears that
 MT. Catchings of Mississippi has prompt iy agreed to mount the band wagon. The press dispatch reads as follows: Greenville, Miss, April 23.-A letter
 was received here today from Congress- man Thomas c. Catchings announcing that he would vote for the free and un- limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l if the democratic convention which
 meets here on May IS renominates him. 
 The State Herald again urges upon active democratic workers everywhere the importance of organizing demo-
 cratic club in every precinct in the state
 of Alabama. Now is the time to go 10
 work. Delay is always dangerous. The
 registration of voters begins now in a
 few days. One of the most important
 things to be done in this campaign Is to
 get the electors to register and no agency
 can cope with democratic clubs in getting
 this done and done promptly. Remember
 that in just about one month from today the registration books will be closed ex-
 cept in cities of 10000 inhabitants. It
 does not take long for a months time to
 fit by. It is busy season of the year
 and unless some activity is shown many
 voters in the country, who are busy with
 their crops, will let the time go by and
 neglect to register. Active working dem-
 ocrats should see to it that things in their
 respective localities are promptly gotten into shape and the work of organizing and registering begins. We must pile up an old time majority this year, and to do it we must go to work early, work late and work in earnest.
 Ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts has been heard from again. He is sound | on one question at least. It is that it will | be neither right nor wise to attempt to | straddle this (moneD question by any | ambiguous or meaningless decaratonP | He trusts that the issue will be fought | out to a sound conclusion" Isn't it fun | ny how the goldbugs hang to that word l 'sound" But, thank Heaven, they | can't appropriate the entire vocabulary. | While their long tongues lash the ozone with enunciation of "sound" money there
 is still chance for honest" money to | get in its work upon the heart and brain | of the suffering common masses.

Senator Joe Blackburn in the most em- phatic manner denies the report sent out from Louisville to the effect that he had declined to take the stump for silver dur ing the campaign now on in Kentucky. To the Washington representative of the Atlanta Constitution Senator Blackburn said: q am now making the most vlgor- ous fight know how and fight that I have no doubt will give us the delegation from Kentucky to the convention. In stead of quitting the fight l propose to take the stump and win it. Kentucky is free coinage state."

We wish every man who followed Kolb out of the democratic party in 1892 and in 1894 who has not already returned to the party or made up his mind to return could just for few minutes gaze in upon the bowling, fuming, stinking mob which will hold forth in the state capitol today, with which Kolb is now trying to get them to link their destiny in Ala bama. Five minutes would convert the last mothers son of them.

there is at present no state Organlza-

was purpOsely misleading. The fact
is that at this time there is but one
and that one is the local league at To
peka- To our positive knowledge there
has been no political action whatever
outside of that organization. The Wich-
ita league, like the few other leagues
that were organized in Kansas. has
been in a state of innocuous desuetude
for two years past and it viii not be
revived to further the political schemes
of any one. We are furthermore posi-

Kansas do not see it to their interests
to effect an organization to further the
candidacy Of any Republican politician,
especially when that candidate is GOV.

IF the German-American of Kansas
did take political action at all. we are
inclined to the belief that such action
