NOT A WHITE MANS PARTY NOW.
Why Mr.. Snellgrove of Dale Leaves the
Populite Party,

fopul1te farby,
Ozark Star.
Haw Ridge, Ala, June Is, 1896.
To the Southern Star:
feel it my duty as free born white
American citizen, who has the interest
of the country at heart, and above all
who prefers white supremacy, and be-
lieves in the white people controlling to
speak out just at this time. have since
1892 voted and worked necessarily for
the populist party. 1 did so because i
agreed more fully with the principles of
the populist party than / did with the
other parties. l believed that they were
working in the interest of the people and
that the party was not dominated by
bosses and ring rule. | have changed
my mind, however, and have determined
that / will not vote the populist ticket
headed by Goodwin, but will vote the
ticket headed by Captain Johnston.
have determined to do this for many
reasons which l think are sufficient to
cause any white man to change his mind.
The populist party since it's Organiza-
ton until few months since has been
posing as the white mans party, but
the convention held at Montgomery
few weeks since forever does away with
that claim. They fused with the repub-
licans and placed two repu blicans on
their state ticket.
1 am a consistent advocate of free sill
yer and believe that the democratic con-
vention to be held at Chicago early in
July will adopt a free silver platform
and upon which all white people can
stand and fight for the interest Of his
country and the interest of his home.
The fact that Mr.. Goodwin few days
since voted to seat the negro Murray
from South Carolina over Colonel Elliott
has caused hundreds of honest white
men to turn their faces in different d.
rection, and predict that numbers right
here in Dale county will do as have
the wrong and come
out on the side of right, the white man
and-good government. Very respect
fully w. M SNELLGROVE.

AN Ex-KoLB1TE
Writes an Open Letter to the Populites of
Alabama.


Alabama
To the Jeffersonian Democracy of Ala
bama:
In addressing you on the subject now
most occupying the minds of the deep
thinkers of the state, l appreciate the
fact that you feel that you have been i'll
treated by the so-called organized de-
mocracy, but will joining forces with the
common enemy against them do any
good?
We have Joined in the primary and
helped the silver wing of that party to
name the candidates and the rosy tints
of the dawn of a glorious day of triumph
in the national convention is beginning
to appear. So now let every one of us
put his shoulder to the wheel and roll
this incubus from off this fair Dixie land.
l recognize in the infant features Of
this populist party the old scallawag
and carpet-bag party, led by soreheads
and disgruntled politicians inspired by a
desire to get whack at the public funds
and strut about the towns dressed In
broadcloth and patent feathers, drinking
fine liquors and having good time. We
don't want REPETITION of '65 to '4-no
more radical negro rule-and we must
stamp 1t out in the beginning.
I went with Captain Kolb to the last
ditch so long as l felt that l was in the
grand old democratic party, but when
one of their leaders told me that the pop
ulists would fuse with the republicans
said, THAT lets me out" So now let's
go for goldbugism, Goodwynism and re-
publicanism with our whole strength and
scatter the dirty trio to the four winds.
We cannot afford to give up the work of
twenty-five years by such as are c1amor-
ing for places of trust
We have common enemy to fight next
August, and in union there is strength.
Unite and rout the enemy from his
stronghold
I have the honor to subscribe myself,
yours for success Of democracy and vir-
tue. r. J. STAI4LWORTH.

In another column will be found a card
from Mr. w. M. Snellgrove of Rockey
Head beat. which has the proper ring.
When the populist party was swallowed
up by the republicans Mr.. Snellgrove did
not hesitate to say that he could not fol-
low his ld-time leaders into the repub-
lican party and he declares himself for
the democratic ticket headed by Capt.
Joseph f. Johnston, and we are glad to
say is ait work as 9ssiduously for the
ticket as he worked for the populist cause
while a member of that organization.
Mr. Snellgrove is one of the best farm
ers and one of the most influential men
In the county, and it gives the editor OF
this paper great pleasure to welcome his
good friend, Bill Snellgroye, back to the
democratic party. He informed us that
the woods were afire" in his section or
the country, and that of the twenty white
voters In his immediate locality who had
voted each time for the populist ticket,
seventeen of them had changed, and
would vote the democratic ticket, leav-
ing three for the pops.

phere is in a healthy condition. This can
only be the case when no political dam
gers threaten the stability of society and
commerce, especially when we consider
that 80 per cent of our commerce is in the
hands of and controlled by the whites.
But 1t is the mechanic and laborer who
has the greatest cause TO wish and labor
for the rule of the white men, since every
suspension of business operation, or even
the lack of confidence in the stability
of existing conditions will affect him
more Immediately and more severely,
in so far that it deprives him of the OPP
porlunlty to Obtain labof and provide for
the needs of his family The political
party of the white man of the south, at
least in state and local affairs, is the
democratic party, and every effort to
weaken this party by the formation of
other parties, such as populistic, ETC.,
can only result in undermining the rule
of the white man. We have seen that
such endeavors, IL successful, would Sc
riously endanger our best Interests, and,
if for no other reason than simply In self
defense and because 1t is duty we owe
to ourselves and our families, there is
actually no choice for us German-Amer-
leans. We are the natural allies OF the
democratic party, which alone In Ala
bama represents our race. and Captain
Johnston, as well as the other gentlemen
nominated with him on the democratic
ticket are the candidates of the white
people, and, therefore, necessarily the
men for whom the German-Americans
must and will cast their votes.

"Stained" Populism.

Coosa Advocate. t4.a>
We have heard several prominent pop
ulists in the town of Goodwater say that
If they were a resident of Tallapoosa
county they would not vote the populist
ticket, and we think there Is sufficient
reason to believe that the last act of the
populists will considerably detract from
their present (retrograding) strength
In a county with as many intelligent
gentlemen as old Tallapoosa has the
honor of claiming, men who are worthy
of any Office within the gift of Its people,
we say it is shame on the populist par
ty to allow such outrages to be commit
ted on the white men of that county. 1t
is simply an insult to the brains of Tai
lapoosa for the name of j. M. Ferrill. a
lifelong republican, and full blooded
negro at that, to be placed on the popu-
lite ticket. and it is there, for. we have
in our possession one of the tickets, and
~ NJ, Ferrill, colored," appears to us
as prominent as any white man on IT.
his name is printed as bold as any of the
rest We cannot see how any man with
an honest white.principle, looking to the
interests of the democratic party, HIM
self, his family and his posterity, can
conscientiously vote such ticket. Isn't
there enough good, honest white men in
Tallapoosa county to compose populist
ticket? But perhaps that party has run
so low that it can't find a man in it's
ranks with sufficient intelligence to hold
down the office of coroner. If that be
the case, and there is good evidence to
sustain such a statement, the pops had
best take out or move to another coun-
ty, where more intelligent pops may be
found.
Coosa populism has also been stained
considera bly, with this negro unity. Per-
hitting negroes to vote in their primary
and. sending them as delegates to the
state convention is equally as degrading
as putting them ON their tickets.

cause they would have nothing to fear
in turning on the light; but they know
that their only hope Is to appeal to the

know that they cannot stand up before

from hearing democrats speak will be
their mode Of campaign this year.
