THE PEOPLE IN THE SADDLE.

There is no longer any question about
what the Chicago convention will do.
It's action yesterday forever set at rest
all doubts. The convention is in the
hands of the true representatives of the
people. Mr.. Whitney might as well have
gone on to Europe. His campaign for
gold has proven a fiat failure. He has
found that the delegations sent to Chi
cago from the south and west are not tc
be bribed, bulldozed or deluded. With
the national committee to help him, the
great New York manipulation has utterly
failed to capture even the temporary or
ganization of the convention. The great
campaign inaugurated by Whitney for
the gold standard. about which we have
heard so much of late. has completely

collapsed, and the men who would turn
the democratic party over to the same
power that claimed and received it's own
at st. Louis few weeks ago are COM
pletely left out in the cold at Chicago.
There has not assembled before since
the war national convention that more
nearly represented the people than does
the convention now in session in Chi
cago. The fact that it represents the
people is a complete guarantee that 1t is
a democratic convention. There will be
no uncertain sound about the platform it
will adopt; neither will there be any
doubt about what it says. 1t will be
democratic-every word and every line
of it will be democratic. 1t will be pre-
pared by democrats who have an eye
single to the good of the people and
adopted by delegations who have the
courage and manhood to stand up for
the people who commissioned them
1t cannot now be predicted with any
degree of certainty who will be the NOM
inee of the convention. Judging from the
dispatches from the scene of the contest
1t will be either Boies or Bland, either of
whom will be entirely satisfactory to the
people. 1t possibly may not be either of
them, but it will be democrat, and he
will be placed, on democratic platform.
Just as surely as the people are in the
saddle at Chicago, making the party
platform and naming the standard bear
er, just so sure will the ticket put forth
there be overwhelmingly elected in No
vember Harsh criticisms and unfound-
ed statements did not kill the silver craze;
neither will they defeat the people in the
coming contest. Goldbugism Cleveland
ism and bossism are being showed to the
rear this year and old fashioned democ-
racy and old fashioned democratic prin-
ciples are coming forward for an inning.
The people should rule-the people are
going to rule Mr.. whitney and his gold
bug howlers will go back to New York
wiser men for having gone to Chicago
and measured lances with the salt of the
earth, the true and tried democracy of
the south and west.

"THE BETTER CLASS"

In a dispatch printed in the
| World of the 4th Mr.. Roswell p. Flower,
| former governor of New York. Is made
| to say over his own name:
after mature elaboration and a care
| full study of the question l could not go
| back to my farmer constituents and ask
| them to vote for O. free silver ticket When
| know very well that it would ruin them
and the better class Capital will always
| take care of itself"
Perhaps no man can be selected among
the strong men in the east that favor
the gold standard who can in every re-
spect be called a more representative
man of that element than Mr.. Flower.
His political, professional, social and
financial position entitle him to be called
representative man among those hold
ing similar views to sis own. On the ar
rival of Mr.. Whitney and his associates
at Chicago the other day, and among
them was Mr.. Flower. the latter was Sc
lected to make the leading address to a
meeting held at the, Auditorium in the
interest of the single gold standard, and
he made, as is his custom, strong
speech in favor Of gold. We repeat,
therefore, that he is a representative
man of his view and his utterances
SuOulu Ue dCCcplcu tS tuOSc VI llle peOple
he speaks for.
Much has been said and written by free
silver speakers and writer's about the
dangers of moneyed aristocracy in this
government. 1t has been argued that
the result of the single gold standard was
not alone to reduce prices and make the
payment of debts more onerous, but also
to divide our citizenship into classes Of
poor and rich. The reply to this latter
argument has been that the argument
itself is anarchistic, communistic, born
of demagogy and such things. Some of
the free silver leaders have declared that
the fight now is "the masses against the
classes" and these men are scorned by
the gold standard papers as demagogues
and time servers. 1t may be that ex-
IRENE silver men have given at times
expression to extreme views, but it is
equally true that gold men have used
harsh terms In describing their oppo-
nents. These opponents have been call
ed crazy and lunatics, demagogues, COM
munsts and anarchists But Mr. Flow
er's statements are not those of a crazy
man or a lunatic. His associates do not
regard him as demagogue. He be-
lieves as they believe. They believe as
he does. He speaks his thoughts and
their thoughts because they agree. We
repeat, he is their representative spokes-
man. We are therefore surprised to find
that Mr. Flower designates the people by
two classes. He cannot go back to his
farmer constituents" The says, land ask
them to vote for free silver ticket"
And why cannot Mr.. Flower ask them to
vote such a ticket? Because he says he
knows very well that it would ruin
them and the better class" Now, Of
course man is not expected to ask his
friends to vote for something he knows
will ruin them. Voters are not expected
to vote for principles that they know will
work to their undoing. So that If Mr.
Flower knows that free silver ticket
will ruin his constituents. we have no
quarrel with him for Withholding his re-

There has not been time since 1874
when the democrats of Alabama were
more in earnest than they are this year.
Democratic speakers are having good
crowds everywhere. and democratic
workers are leaving no stone unturned
The democratic majority in the coming
election will show what the white peo-
pie of Alabama think of the proposition
to turn the affairs of this state over to
man whose chief advisers and principle
supporters of the old-time republicans,
who have been trying to get back into
power in this state ever since they were
thrust aside in IA by an outraged peo-
pie.

sTArE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We. the democrats of the state of Ala
bama, in convention assembled, declare
our continued faith in the old time and
honored principles of the democratic
party, and among these principles are
the following
/ The free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at 16 to 1 as the standard
money of the country, without any dis
elimination against either metal and
without the consent OF foreign nations,
&c the United States coined silver and
gold before the republican party OBJ
fained control Of the government and
changed the coinage laws of the country
FOR the benefit of a class and to the in
Jury of a great mass of the people.
The unconstitutional penalty of 10
ner centum on each issue of state bank
notes by any state or national bank
ought to be repealed
1T Is our purpose to maintain govern
ment in this state fair and just to all,
under control of the white men of Ala
bama.
The faith and credit of the state must
he maintained untarnished.
Our system of public education should
he improved and extended so far as the
state has the ability, without oppressive
taxation.
We are in favor of honest and fair
elections, and we recommend that laws
he enacted under which primary cleo
lions and other party proceedings for the
selection of candidates may be con-
Quoted.
We cordially invite all good citizens of
this state, and especially all democrats
who strayed from the party, to unite
with us in an earnest and determined eff
fort to maintain good government in the
state of Alabama.
Let us preserve the dignity and credit
and peace, and. If possible, the prosperity
of our state.

If one such is allowed without our getting
here and now an expression from that
man, l say of the 1000 white voters in
my county / believe we will lose 1000.
The fact remains, you may bring out your
ingenious argument, and put your hands
on your hearts and lift yeour eyes to God,
you will lose 1000 white votes out of
every 1000 in Alabama the day you do it.
l say the republicans ought not to ask us
for representation on the ticket; it is too
dear price-the rupture and disorgani-
cation of our own party is too much to
ask of u.s.

Reports from Tuscaloosa county show
thar Editor Hobson knew whereof he
spoke when he made the following state
ment in the pop conventions:
IF you put one republican on the ticket
as republican, If You put one man on
that ticket who - unwilling to say that
he will not vote for a goldbug or a gold
bug platform under any circumstances,
so help him God, is as bad as If you put
six on it of the same scrt; it is as bad as
II you put seven on it of the same sort.
I say If you put one such on the platform.

There are but very few, If any, white
supporters of Goodwin in the black belt
counties of Alabama. During the next
two years, beginning in November, there
are bound to be vacancies occur in those
counties, and there is no doubt about
whom Goodwin would appoint to fill
them If he were governor. He said at
Mount Carmel that he would vote for a
negro for governor before he would vote
for a ballot box stuffing democrat. He
has already voted for a negro to occupy
seat in congress in preference to gal
liant ex-Confederate soldier, white man
and democrat. He regards all those in
the black belt who are not his supporters
as ballot box suffers, and therefore he
would, were he governor, promptly ap-
point negro bucks to fill whatever va
cancies that might occur in those coun-
ties during his term of office. Take his
declaration at Mount Carmel in connec-
ton with his Murray vote, and no other
conclusion can be reached as to what
the nominee of the "piebald" party would
do were he to get in.

White men in Alabama who want to
see the officers in this state remain in

and to fill the place thus made vacant
with a big, burly. black negro cannot
safely be entrusted with the high office
of governor of this state.

Those who use kerosene lamps should
be interested in the following from
Health, well known hygienic journal:
MANY physicians believe that the fumes
of kerosene, when the lamp Is turned
low, may cause diphtheria. Some sleep
ing rooms are thus semi-lighted all night,
and the windows closed or raised but
slightly. The atmospheric conditions be-
come deathly. A turned down kerosene
lamp is magazine of poison gas, to
which the healthiest lungs cannot be ex-
posed safely" e1t
