T,ET THEM GO.

The following newspapers, which have been pretending to be democratic, have declared their intention not to support the democratic national ticket, namely: The Louisville Courier-Journal, Chatta- nooga Times, New York Times, New York Sun, Brooklyn Eagle, Philadelphia Record, Buffalo Courier, Louisville Post and Chicago Staats Zeitung. As each and all of these papers have for many months been engaged in relentless war fare on the democratic party and its principles and advocating republican dogmas and hereses-during which time the party has grown stronger and stronger every day-their desertion to republican ranks will be a happy rid dance. They will not be missed, except from a sense of relief that will come to all true democrats from their departure for the political camp to which they properly belong.

HEAD THEM OFF.

The advocates of bimetallism are cer- tain to elect their president in November. The senate is already in control of the bimetallists. The only hope left the gold standard advocates Is the lower house of congress. True, the present is the only congress that has been elected in years that did not favor free coinage, and the probabilities are that the next congress would be g. free coinage congress even were Mckinley, by some unforeseen acci- dent, to be elected. But is we'll enough for the people not to lose sight of the fact that the only hope remaining for those who would keep this country on the single gold standard is the lower house, and they may be expected to make fight for gold standard congress. The Denver Times sounds the following note of warning:
 "The friends of silver should not lose sight of the congressional campaign in their praiseworthy effort to put genu- inc bimetallist in the White House. A silver majority in both the senate and the house, as well as a silver president, is necessary to secure the adoption by this country alone of the double standard. Just as soon as the goldbug leaders see that they cannot win the presidential fight they will concentrate their energies on the congressional campaign. Head them off :"

CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA.
 In the nomination of the Hon. Arthur Sewall of Maine for the second place on the ticket the democratic convention has displayed foresight and sound politics.
 The nomination is a recognition of the growth of the silver sentiment in the east. But it is more than that. It is g. merited rebuke to the arrogance of New York and Massachusetts. Hereafter these states will know that the least" in the democratic geography extends be- yond the shores of Manhattan island and the nose of Cape Ann.
 This is the year of the people who know no north, no south, no east, no west.
 Arthur Sewall was born at Bath, Me, November 2, 1925. He has been a life long democrat, and has been chairman of the Maine democratic state committee for many years. His residence is the Sew all estate in Bath, which has been in the possession of the Sewall family since 1760, when his great-grandfather took title only three removes from grant by King George. MT. Sewall married in 1859. His wife was Emma D. Crookes of Bath. There are two children, Harold M. and William D. Harold M. was ap- pointed during MT. Cleveland's first ad- ministration United States consul at Samoa, but since has gone over to the republican party. MT. Sewall has been engaged most of his life in ship building and ship owning.

HIS ESTIMATE TOO HIGH.

A prominent democrat says If the State Herald estimated that Bryan would carry Alabama by 100000 majori- ty before the announcement that the Mo bile Register had bolted the party reach- ed if that a new estimate should be made and some 800 or GOO more added to the majority.
 While we made the estimate before the news came that the Register had bolted, we think our friend is placing too high an estimation on the influence of the Register. We are perfectly willing to concede that our figures need revision, now that the Register is really going to aid the ticket. But we can't consent to add more than 150 to our first estimate. We don't think newspaper with only 5O0 bona fide circulation can bring back into the party more than 200 voters by going out of the party itself. A paper with so circumscribed a circulation could not bring that many back by going out of the party if it were not for the fact that it had a good deal to do with driving them away from the party in the first instance. At any rate, we are unwilling to add more than 150 to our original esti- mate. We think that the Register will probably take fifty of its 300 readers with it, and deducting that number from the 200 it will drive back into the party leaves a clear democratic gain as result of the Registers bolt of 150. Let the procession proceed.

BOTH BOUND OVER.
Sullivan and McGhee Plead Guilty to Burglary and Grand Larceny in the Inferior
 Court-Rea Estate Transfers.

In the inferior criminal court yesterday morning, Judge Feagin presiding, Will liam Sullivan and Ed McGilee, the two young white men arrested a few days ago charged with burglary and grand larceny, when arraigned for-trial plead guilty, and were each bound over to the criminal court in the sum of $500. The fact that they had revealed the where abouts of the goods and that same were identified is conclusive proof and they will undoubtedly do time in the mines.
 The other cases disposed of were as follows
 Charley Brown, carrying concealed weapons; $50 and costs.
 Mary Olsen, using abusive language (warranD taxed with the costs, $765.
 Lucius Streeter vagrancy (warranD: $10 and thirty days and $4.25 costs

In the bill defendant alleges that he was required to work on Sunday the same as on week days, for all of which he asks damages in the sum of 5000.

SUOUI,D CORRECT.

The Jews of Birmingham are especial ly angry at Bryan because of his slur- ring allusion in his speech yesterday to Jew financial magnates carrying the money of the world, and they talk of or ganizing a Mckinley club.
 Under date of July 10 the above was sent out from Birmingham in a special to the Courier-Journal. The press re- port of the speech of MT. Bryan making him say Jew" where he really said few had just appeared. Of course had the speaker actually used the word Jew" where the word flew" was used by him 1t would have been just cause of offense to the citizenship not only of Birmingham, but of the entire country. Having read it that way in the morning papers, it was but natural that on the day of the 10th of July the Jewish citizens of Birming- ham felt aggrieved at MT. Bryan.
 The fact is MT. Bryan made use of no such expression, and there fore the Jewish citizens, either here make against the democratic nominee on that line. We presume the Courier Journal correspondent at this place is a democrat, and if not a democrat we trust he is an honest and fair Mckinley man, and in either event he will correct tention to the fact that there is not like ly to be a Mckinley club organized in Birmingham by the Jewish citizenship.

H.a dency any real good service Is to arrange to keep his following among the wise men of the east out of the republican party, where they properly belong, and thereby enable the true democracy to carry Q few states in the east which Mckinley will likely carry if the presidents pres ent determination to house his own in g shop of their own doesn't fail him.
 That the wise men of the east would refuse to longer play marbles in our back yard when we began insisting on doing something other than ringing up the men for them while they pumped out the middleman has been an open secret for quite awhile. They are not springing a surprise on anybody. Their departure will be hailed by many with much delight. The final outcome of the wise men of the east setting up shop for them- selves will be the passing away of boss ism in the democratic party in that sec- tion. Then the voice of the real democra- cy of that part of the country will be heard. By all means let the wise men of the east depart
Birmingham state herald., 1896-07-12
TO OPEN UP FOR THEMSELVES.

And Walter Wellman of the Chicago Times-Herald says the president advises setting up of business by the wise men of the east on their own hook. Well, by all means let them do so. They have been doing a considerable business since the war in politics, while the south and west furnished the capital and the patriotic" customers got the profits. It is well, now that the south and west have concluded to do something other than vote and
 whoop for the wise men of the east, for
 selves. When they take their first in- ventory the country, as well as they themselves, will be able to see just what an immense business they have been do- ing and what enormous profits they have derived on and from somebody's capital stock other than their own. The effort to open up was made recently in Illinois, but enough stock to fill up the front shelves could not be secured by Wash postmaster, and the Hon. Benjamin Ca- ble, who says now that Bryan will carry Illinois by 50000 majority. If the presi- dent will now claim citizenship in New York state and lead the wise men of the east, who propose to set up shop for themselves under his advice, the nomi- nees of the Chicago convention will have no trouble in carrying the Empire State.
 About the only way in which the presi- dent can do the party that has twice hon. ored him by electing him to the presi-

wrI,L CoNrEsT EVERY INcH.

It is now virtually settled that the two national conventions which are yet to meet will indorse the nominees of the Chicago convention, and a complete alignment of the south and west and great northwest thereby be perfected
 Under the democratic banner all the advocates of financial and industrial freedom and reform will go to battle with the gallant Bryan as their leader. The nomination of MT. Sewell of Maine is notice to the east that that boss-rid- den section of this great country is not to be turned over to the money gamblers and shylqcks without struggle. The fight will be pushed into every nook and corner of the land. The people every where are going to be given an oppor- tunity to rise uR in their might and huyl

from power those who would crush them and destroy their opportunities and the opportunities of their posterity. If the money changers, bondholders, tariff bar ons and trust magnates who have a fit representative in the platform and ticket named at St. Louis think the east is to be surrendered to them and that they will be allowed to spend all their time, talent and corruption fund in other sec tions of the country they are reckoning without their host. The fight will be made all along the line.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We inc democrats of the state of Ala hama. in convention assembled, declare our continued faith In the old time ana honored principles of the democratic party. and among these principles are the following: ,,,., silver and gold at 16 to as the standard ,noney of the country, without any dis continuation against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, as the United States coined silver and cola before the republican party ob- tained control of the government and changed the coinage laws of the country for the benefit of class and to the in- iury of a great mass of the people.
 9 The unconstitutional penalty of 10 per centum on each Issue of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed.
 It is our purpose to maintain govern ynent in this state fair and just to all, under control of the white men of Ala bama. ,

 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 ef- 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.
