THE HIT DOG WILL HOWL.

In 1892 when Kolb was running for governor inside the democratic ranks, and seeking the votes of democrats, se- rious charges were made touching the fairness of the methods resorted to, by which Butler, Crenshaw and Covington counties were carried against Kolb for governor, Wyly for congress and Tyson for circuit judge. Such a storm of indig- nation was raised by the people that hundreds of good men left the party, and many of them have never returned; 1; and yet not one word of censure or dis approbation came from the Montgomery Advertiser. With all the energy and ability that paper possessed it upheld the results of the primaries and stified all efforts at an investigation. It deS nounced all persons who favored an in- vestigation as disloyal democrats and strife stirrers, and that, too, in the face of the fact that the charge was clamor- ously made, particularly in Crenshaw county, that the box containing the bal lots and returns after the vote was counted at Rutledge was stolen and carried two miles into the woods by Clancy and Mahone. rifled of it's con- tents and other ballots and returns sub stituted for the originals In this way Kolb, Wyly and Tyson lost the county. It was publicly charged that those gen tlemen were counted out" This con- duct suited the Advertiser at that time, and hence its approval. Its present cry of "stop thief' does not deceive any, body. It shifts its principles" as readily as harlequin changes its spots, and its silly wall about fraud in Morgan county is only another evidence of it's lack of ''prinoiple." Permit us, in this connec- tion, to quote the Advertisers own ele- gant expression, Tt is the hit dog that howls." Evidently the canine about the

THE GOLD STANDARDS WORK.

We reproduce in the State Herald this morning a communication to the Atlanta Constitution from J. w. Goldsmith, em- bodying a carefully compiled table of statistics showing the relative prices of gold bullion, silver bullion and cotton from 1873 to 1895 inclusive. also the num- Der of bales of cotton raised and the losses on the same for each of these years since the demonstration of silver.
 The facts and figures set forth in MT. Goldsmith's letter are interesting and well worth the serious consideration of every voter in Alabama who will be call ed upon on the 11th of April to cast ballot for MT. Clarke, who defends and wants made permanent the present inan- cial system, under which the cotton planters of the south alone have lost over S2000000000 in twenty-two years. or for Captain Johnston, who advocates the democratic system which prevailed from l792 to 1873, and which, if it had been In operation from 1873 to 1895. would have saved to the people of the south on one staple article alone, $2,07S, 900, ,000. The facts and figures presented in MT. Gold smiths article cannot fail to impress even fair minded advocate of the Brit 1Sn SOlu Stanudru. lHey are lnCOntrO- vertible and show that the' south has lost in the value of it's cotton crops since the republican party demonetized silver in 1873 the stupendous sum of g, 07S ,0O0,- 900. When it is further considered that nearly all other crops and products of la hor, and real estate also, have sustained like depreciation, 1t will readily be seen that the total loss to the south has been an amount appalling and almost beyond calculation
 Commenting on the above mentioned contribution, the Constitution says:
 They (the farmers) have received for the staple s7 ,97S 600 009 in gold values in tweuy-two years, whereas they would have received ss.I41 100000 in debt-paying silver dollars-a loss of TWO THOU SAND AND SEVENTY-EIGHT MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS, GOOD FOR ALI. DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
 And what the cotton producers of the south have lost, the railways, the merchants, the business men, the trade and the commerce of the south have lost!

A prominent republican, who has been trying to help the pops capture the situ- ation says that the Morgan county re- suit developed that the democracy of Alabama favored the nomination of Joe Johnston. He said that with the com bined effort of the republicans and popu- lites, taking advantage of the letting down of the bars to carry Morgan county for Clarke, the choice of the opposition to democracy, and the signal failure in that instance convinced him, and with him the rank and file of the opposition to democracy il Alabama, that Johnston was indeed the favorte of the people Said he: "I am in favor of honest cleo tions, and I do not favor the effort of re- publcans to get men to vote in the prl- maries for Clarke who will not vote Tor the nominee when he is announced" St'll that, according to the speaker, is the pro-

LETTER FROM GOVERNOR CA


 The rebuke of the governor to the Mo bile Register is well deserved. He does not feel called upon to take the stump in behalf of MT. Clarke. It would be a strange spectacle to see a democratic governor getting upon the hustings to name his successor When such a state of things occurs we are well on the way to a dictatorship. Once or twice in the history of political parties in this country a president has sought. by the aid of stuffed conventions, to name his success or and in each instance the effort has been signally rebuked by the people. to the support of their candidate the per sonal following, influence and patronage of the governor. With this assistance they hope to overwhelm the candidate who is unaided by governmental power Governor Oates very properly repudiates and rebukes the attempt to use his high office in the interest of a faction.
 As to his personal views on the money question no one is in doubt. He has fre- quently placed himself on record, and while the State Herald does not indorse his views as sound in this respect, it has never had any doubt as to what he would say if he were to make public address on this subject
 His letter, published today in this pa per, will be read with interest. It is clear and manly. It completely answers those who would assau him for not dragging his robes of office through the mud of a political canvass.

Negroes Hold Up Southsde Merchant Near
 Where Frank Buchanan Was Killed.

Mr. D. c. Behrens, who conducts a small store on Avenue F and Twelfth street. was held up by two negroes last night about o'clock and his money de- manded.
 MT Behrens and his wife were at the store together and on leaving to go to their home, which was near by, Mrs. Behrens preceded her husband and enter ed the house to make light Imnedi- ately on opening the door she heard her husband say: "Get out of my yard, you negroes; you have no business here" and on turning around saw that her husband was covered with a shotgun by two ne- groes one in the rear and the other in the front of him. Mrs. Behrens began screaming for help and the negroes ran off.
 The police department was notified at once and Officers Walker and Baker went at once to the scene, but after sev- eral hours search failed to get any trace of the culprits.
 MT. Behrens says that he thinks he would recognize the negroes should he see them again, and the officers will leave no stone unturned to locate them.
 MT. Behrens was held up within a few yards from where Officer Bodeker shot and killed Frank Buchanan Saturday night.

The Rhode Island republicans met the other day and promulgated the follow ing. This is the first Tom Reed state to act and it would be interesting to know exactly what is really meant by what they said:
 With convictions strengthened by three years of a democratic national ad- minstra ton, we reaf1irm our belief In the American system of protection, in financial policy which recognizes every dollar to be of equal value to every other dollar, in the grateful recognition of the patriotic services of the veterans of the last war, in such restrictions placed upon immigration as will more effectually pre- vent the landing upon American shores of the ignorant, pauper and criminal classes of foreign nations, in the educa- tion at public expense of the citizens of the future and in the fullest develop ment of our unequaled resources"

It Is stated here open and above board that sixty republicans and thirty-five populites voted for R. H. Clarke at the New Decatur box on the day of the 11th of March. Republicans and populites of this city boast of the fact, and state con- fident1y on the streets that but for their efforts in Morgan county Clarke would not have made a decent race. (We don't know what they mean by a decent race) They also say that Clarke's majority would have been larger in New Decatur but for the fact that the Johnston men caught on to the scheme, and began to ask the republicans and populites if they would support the democratic nominees. When they Began to put these questions the pops and reps ceased to vote. This Is the county where the Advertiser and Clarke, through 1t, are trying to estab- fish fraud.
