say if, after those men are elected they should straddle by voting half and half in the election of a United States sena- tor. True, few sound money men voted Tor Captain Johnston, not only in Jeff ferson county, but in every county in the state, but they did so knowing his plat form on the financial question. They voted for Captain Johnston because they thought him the most available man for the party to nominate, and that class of men would not have him go before the people on an equivocal platform. They want to see the democratic party sue ceed in August. They know the people of Alabama a large majority of them, are for free coinage, and therefore they rec- ognized in Captain Johnston the man to lead the party to an old-time victory
 l am a conservative man, and am in favor of giving to the sound money ele- ment in the party in Alabama just what they would have given to us had they carried the state convention by a two thirds majority.
 In that event they would have put the gold standard so deep down us that we could not have thrown it off, and I think we should be equally as liberal with them. They would have sent no free coinage man to Chicago. They forced the issue, and when it had been thrust into the campaign MT. Weatherly was one of the first men to take it up, and he did not then think Captain Johnston would listen to the appeals of his sound money supporters. If he did he did not so act, for on principle" he voted and worked against his home man, and think it now comes kinder of bad grace from him to be appealing to Captain Johnstons free coinage supporters through the few sound money men who supported Johnston. The men who fought the battle, and not those who gave their passive support, are the men most l. 1. Ix- l. ing a platform. A man who would now insist oh a straddle platform on the financial question, whether he so intends 1t or not is appealing for the repetition of the Kentucky affair in Alabama. The sound money democrats fought and lost, and they should stand up like men and abide the consequences, giving the ticket their hearty support. H.

OUR LETTER BOX,
W arrior, April IS.

Warrior, April IS. To the State Herald
 I cannot refrain from asking a small space in your valua ble paper to reply to an open letter published in the Birming- ham News of Friday signed by my friend, James Weatherly, in which he suggests that some of the sound money friends of Captain Johnston who support ed him for governor in the late contest appeal to Captain Johnston to disallow any expression from the state convention on the money question, and, further to allow some of them to go to the national convention as delegates. I must first ex- press my great surprise at the suggestion made by my friend. That Captain John- ston duly appreciates the support of any sound money man who may have voted for him for the sake of harmony and the best interests of the democratic party In Alabama no one who knows Captain Johnston will doubt but in view of the fact that the issue Gree silver) was made and heralded to every nook and corner of the state, and that the state has spo- ken out in no uncertain tones for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l, and that free silver has won an unprecedented victory, to carry out MT. Weatherlys suggestion would not only be unreasonable, but would be equivalent to asking that the very sole issue upon which the fight was made be annulled and the silver faction of this state be sold out Cor given away) lock- stock and barrel He further says: "As we predicted, it has been heralded as a blow to the sound money cause" Quoted from memory. Yes, blow to the sound money cause! A violent shock, that has shaken the very foundations of the ad- ministration and Ono doubD caused it to tremble for fear that the national con- vention will fail to indorse the admins tration at all No! the democracy of Ala bama have demanded 1t, and the state convention will place in their platform glittering, ringing silver plank, and send solid delegation to the national convention, or ignore the voice of the people Of Alabama. Respectfully,

Seventy-seyenth 1. 0. OF. Anniversary

The anniversary of the Odd Fellows this year falling on Sunday, the commit tee of arrangements, R. D. Jones, chair man, has decided to hold joint ceebra- tion at Magnolia hall on Monday even- ing, the Eth, when Mineral City Lodge No. "A, Birmingham Lodge No. 112 and Magnolia Lodge No. 121, together with Christine Rebekah Lodge No. IT and Myrtle Rebekah Lodge No. B, all of this city, will unite in celebrating a day that is dear to the heart of every true Odd Fellow and his family. From the small beginning of five true, but unknown, Englishmen, who met in tavern on the 26th of April, 1819 in Baltimore Md, when the first lodge was organized, this order has spread until today it is the largest fraternal benevolent association on earth, and it's benefactions to the dis tressed, widows and orphans amounted last year to upwards of $3. .500 900. It's membership numbers over 1000, 900, and it's kind deeds are innumerable.
 An elaborate programme, consisting of vocal and instrumental music by first class talent, will be rendered, and an ad- dress on Odd Fellowship will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Hawkins of Bessemer. The ceremony for celebration of the day and other exercises promise to be treat for the order of this city.
 As every lodge in the land is expected to celebrate the anniversary, this enter tainment will be confined exclusively to the lodges above named
 We understand that the city lodges will avail themselves of the invitation of Triple Link Lodge No. 150 of North Bir- mingham on Sunday, the 26th, and re- pair with them to the Methodist Episco- pal church, south, at that place, where

HON. R. I. PARKER.

Hon. R. T. Parker is about the last Mr Parker is candidate for state au- ditor. He is a citizen of Tallapoosa coun- ty. He was as gallant a Confederate soldier as shouldered a musket during the late civil war, and as an evidence of his service to the country he wears an empty sleeve. MT. Parker was for a number of years tax commissioner of Tallapoosa county and during his ad- min.stra tion of that office he in augu- rated many reforms, some of which have since been adopted by the legislature of Alabama and enacted into law. He was pronounced by Auditor Malcolm c. Burke to be the most efficient tax officer in the state of Alabama. MT. Parker is peculiarly fitted for the efficient perform ance of the duties that devolve upon the state auditor He is an unswerving, faithful and fighting democrat, and a more worthy man will not ask office at the hands of the convention next week. MT. Parker also halls from section of the state that is clearly entitled to recog- milton at the hands of the democratic party of Ala bama. Tallapoosa county is in the eastern portion of the state and has up to 1890 always been known as the banner democratic county of the state. MT Parker has the earnest indorsement of his home people, and if the convention should see fit to place him on the ticket this year the party can safely count on an old-time democratic majority from old Tallapoosa county. If nominated MT. Parker will make for the state of Alabama as good a state auditor as any man who has ever been honored with the

Blfmlngham, Apr1l 1S. To the State Herald
 I was forcibly struck with the open letter of MT. James Weatherly, published in the News Friday. 1 cannot refrain from asking MT. Weatherly if he does not feel called upon to appeal to the sound money nominees in this county for the legislature to divide their votes equally between a sound money and a free coinage candidate for the United States senate. Those sound money nom- 1nees are going to get the vote of the free coinage democrats of Jefferson coun- ty in the August election. Now, what would my friend Weatherly be heard to
