WAS WITH BRYAN IN 1890.

It looked at one time as though the press of the state was going to permit the election to come and go without drawing Ex-Gov Thomas G. Jones' rec ord on the coinage question on him, but he could not escape. He is about the only speaker now in the goldbug ranks in the state of any prominence who has not been free coinage in the past. A recent issue of the Montgomery Journal however, supplies the missing link and coolly re- produces the following from a speech made by the ex-governor at Greenville in 1890, which was published at the time in ex-governor stands as having in the past publicly proclaimed himself an "anar- chist." If Bryan is an "anarchist' now, Governor Jones when he was advocating free coinage in 1890 was an anarchist" Referring to the demand of the alliance for the sub-treasury the governor said:
 "A sound and stable currency of suffi- cient volume to do the business of the country is the poor mans best friend WE CAN REMEDY THE SCARCITY OF MONEY AND CONSEQUENT HIGH RATE OF INTEREST BY THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER, for the present at least, and by revision of the tariff THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ALWAYS WORKED STEAD HASTILY TO THIS END. IT OPPOSED DEMONSTRATION OF SILVER. It brought 1t back to its true place in our financial system"

OUR LETTER BOX.
FROM HON. JOHN T. TANNER.


 Athens, Ala, Oct. 24, 1896. To the State Herald:
 In replying to "Prohib' in the Advo- cate September 29. I have to say there has been no organization of the prohibition party in this state since 1886, Hon. F. A. Moody, chairman, and that the so-called convention which met in Montgomery and put an electoral ticket out for MT. Lowering was without consultation or ap- proval. Hon. I. c. Orr and myself had endeavored for twelve years to get some of these gentlemen to aid us in placing prohibition before the people of Ala bama, but with what success every one knows, and if either of the gentlemen compromising the late electoral ticket gave us any aid or assistance their names have escaped me.
 It is no time to throw away votes. Me- Kinley is the whisky candidate. He owns and rents property for saloon purposes within two blocks of his private residence in Canton, as has been proven, and a vote for him is in favor of a high license for the liquor traffic, and no consistent man will do it, and if the Lowering cleo tors will go to work and help elect MT. Bryan they will have the satisfaction of having done some good, instead of expos ing the weakness of the few prohibition ists in Alabama. I mean no disrespect. l have spent much time and money for prohibition, and to that end I shall work and pray and be none the worse for vot- ing for MT. Bryan, and urge my friends in Alabama to do the same. With Capt. J. F. Johnston for our governor and Mir. Bryan for president the poor people of the country will have chance to live, and not be lead about with brass collars around their necks, begging for labor whereby to feed and clothe their starv- ing and naked children, which will surely be the case if the gold bugs win, which God forbid!

TWO REASONS.

It Is hard for some people to understand why it is that men in the east appear so confident that Mckinley is going to be elected that they will hazard their money at odds on him. There is more than one reason for this. In the first place 1t is no hard job in the east to find people with more money than judgment. The bulk of tho money owners in that part of the moral vineyard who gamble on elections received their holdings from their ances- tors. who in turn got 1t from the people by means of the increase in the pur- chasing power of the money that every other section of the United States has contributed to that section in the way of interest. Another reason is that the peo- pie in the east are supplied with informa- tion regarding the probable outcome of the election by the newspapers of that section of the country exclusively, which papers are notorious for their lack of cor rect information about the sentiment of the people. The New York papers. with one notable exception, appear to think the world is, moves and has its being in- side of the boundary lines of the state of New York and mostly in Wall street. The papers in Philadelphia agree also to that proposition, except they mildly insist that the outside line extends to the vest ern boundary of Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Times is great paper. It is owned and operated by Colonel Me- Cure. It certainly has readers who have more money than judgment. and who have confidence In what the paper says; therefore, 1t is very probable that today some of that class of the Times readers would be glad of an opportunity to hazard money at odds of to on Mo-

CUT THIS OUT.

The holler than thou Montgomery Me- Kinley Advertiser expresses its real feel ings more clearly as the election ap- breaches. The State Herald all along has warned the people, especially those of the working class in the Birmingham district of the maddened efforts of this republican paper to place their liberty in jeopardy, if it could. What further evil dence does this immediate people desire as to the position and bitter feeling of this carpet-bag newspaper against them than the following reference to the speeches recently made by Hons. w. H. Denson and Felix E. Blackburn to the Bryan and Sewall club in Magnolia hall, this city:
 WHAT CLASS OF MEN WE'RE THESE REMARKS INTENDED TO PLEASE? THEY WILL HARDLY AT TRACT ANYBODY BUT ANARCHISTS, FOR THEY DISGUST ALL MEN WHO HAVE A SEMBLANCE OF REGARD FOR LIBERTY OR PROPERTY, OR ANY SEMBLANCE OF LAW AND OR- DER."
 Citizens of Jefferson, yea, working peo- pie of Alabama, clip this out and paste it in your scrap book, that you may never be inveigled in future into follow ing, even for a moment, such wanton enemy.
 A newspaper that would leave the in- ference that this section contains eiti- zenship of anarchists, and among the plain, blunt, honest laborers who com- posed the meeting at Magnolia hall on the occasion referred to, is worse enemy to free government than the Sultan of Turkey
Birmingham state herald., 1896-10-28

Creelman of the New York World suc- ceeded in figuring up Mckinley majori- ty of 10000 in Maryland county in which there resides only about 5000 voters, yet he says Illinois is doubtful. If the state is badly enough against Mckinley for Creelman to say it is doubtful, we may reasonably count on Bryan carrying it by 100, 900 majority
