every day, and itis refreshing to hear sound money man who opposes Bryan and democracy ask for the indorsement of Mckinley electors. This places them where they properly belong-in the atti- tude Of bolters who are ready to do any thing to fasten financial policy upon the people that had been condemned by the national democracy
 The freight bureau met in Chattanooga Sunday and among the party were sev- eral Alabama sound money men. Harry Sinn1ge of Birmingham spoke as follows to the Times reporter;
 q am for the gold standard and I want the convention which meets at Indianap- olis to make a strong platform and in dorse McKinley-so we can win. It is not undemocratic and our efforts will not h8ve been in vain. The sound money prlnc1ples are those upon which rest the safety or this people, and although great element of our party seems to hold to the Bryan idea, they will In time see the folly of their way. What we honest money men want is not only to defeat Bryan, but bury him so deep we will not hear of him for four years hence, and for that reason want the brains of our par ty to indorse man who will be certainly elected"
 MT. Sinnige is a member of the Ala bama executive committee and is pre- sumed to voice the sentiment of the lead CTS of the Alabama movement He sees the folly of attempting to disclose the real purpose of the movement and talks like man. When a democrat bolts the action of his party he is no longer dem- ocrat, and the sooner the bolters realize this the better it is for the. democratic party of Alabama

THRY nIn RIGHn

Owing to the fact that he cannot spare the time from his business to actively take charge of the campaign, Chairman John B. Knox, at the meeting of the state committee yesterday, rendered his resignation as chairman. The commit tee by a unanimous vote declined to ac- cept the resignation. In taking that &C., ton the committee faithfully represent ed the sentiment of the democrats of Alabama. MT. Knox makes a model chairman and, having just given sixty days of his time to the cause of the par ty ard secured a signal victory for de- mocracy, Alabama democrats are unwill- ing to be deprived of the services of that sterling democrat as chairman of the state committee simple because, in jus tioe to himself, he cannot afford at this time to give sixty days more.
 The committee readily found a way to retain MT, Knox as chairman and at the same time avoid drafting him into the active management of the approaching campaign. This was accomplished by unanimously authorizing him to select and appoint campaign committee of his own choosing to take charge of and prosecute the fall campaign
 In pursuing that course, as said above, the committee has represented the party that created it. No man stands today higher in the estimation Of the Alabama democracy than does the Hon. John B. Knox, and no man deserves to stand higher than he does. He has justly earn, ed the confidence and affection of the party by his patriotic devotion to it. The State Herald voices the sentiment of every democrat in Alabama in saying that it is proud indeed that Mr. Knox remains in the position of chairman of the state committee.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Unduly Frightened.


 To the State Herald
 Ex-Governor Jones, in his attack on the democratic platform, gets into par ticularly high dudgeon over the plank relating to the supreme court and it's decision in the income tax cases. He sees in that plank "ansassault upon the integrity of our institutions' and an fr1- dignity to 'one of the most august tri- bunals in the World;" and he deems the last sentence of that plank to contain a threat to pack the court to secure a decision sustaining the constitutionality of law similar in the main to that re- gently declared by it to be unconstitu- tional
 The proposition in the plank from which he deduces these terrifying con clusions is simply that if the court. by reason of changes in its personal compo- sition, should hereafter reverse the deci- sion rendered last year congress ought to use what power such a reversal would ac- cord to it in the enactment of law that would render our system of federal tax atiOn comprehensive and just
 The worthy and distinguished gov- ernor has allowed himself to become un- duly alarmed, Reversals of decisions by courts of last resort, owing to changes In their membership made in the usual and proper way is one of the incidents that have always accompanied the admins tration of law. The clause which excites such lofty indignation in the ex-govern- or Is but a recognition of this well-known fact. and of the possibility of it's recur- renee. Its language is not susceptible of any other construction, unless when read by those predisposed to imply to it's au- thors a meaning and purpose not avowed in it.
 The decision may, in fact, be reversed ''by the court, as it may be hereafter constituted" without any specific inten- ton of the appointing power as to the income tax law. I would like to know what assurance any man has that Pres ident Cleveland, before next March. will not happen to put on that bench some judge whose membership in the court will be the means 0 an early reversal of its last decision on that law. There did occur a virtual reversal of one deci- sion on the law within six weeks with out any change whatever in the person. al membership Of the court. Where. ing that still another reversal may fol- low?- Is not a reversal as apt, incl dentally, to fellow a single change in the membership of the court as it was 10 follow a change in the mind of a single judge of the court? If so, then It is no more "an evil thing" to suggest that a reversal may occur from one cause than to record the fact that one has occurred from the other. To attribute the lan- guage of the democratic platform to an intention to pack the supreme court is no more warrantable than to ascribe the last decision of that court in the income tax cases to influences of a most repre- hensible character.

The Race Narrowed Down.

Tuskaloosa Gazette.
 The sound money candidate for con- gress didn't materialize which we think was a good thing.
 The race now has narrowed down to Bankhead and Rogers both silver men. MT Rogers is splendid man. a mag netic speaker, and as clever genial, whole-souled a fellow as one would meet in days journey. He would unaues- tionably make good congressman but it would take him years to get where Colonel Bankhsad already stands. The latter will receive better committee ap- pontments than any new man could hope to secure in long while. More than that, he has a wide influence and it is only reasonable that he can do Tus- kaloosa more good just now than any body else. The river impro ements are not finished. The appropriations now made will not finish one more lock. and we need the whole system to get Tpska- loosa's best coal. Bryan, if elected. is going to be a terror to appropria ton bills, and we need not only a skillful hand, but an experienced one to look out after our interests. We haven't word to say against MT. Rogers, for we have for him the highest admiration, but we believe for Tuskaloosa's interests, at least, Bankhead is the man to go to the Fifty-fifth congress.

About Fusion,
Selma Times

pHIIT1d IIfneS.
 The Bessemerite, populist organ, says It never wants to have any mora fusion With republicans. The Hon. Frank Punchinello Glass. on the other hand. wants his plutocrats to fuse with the re- publicans so as to elect Colonel Herbert to congress. The republicans are yet to be heard from. but it is understood at Montgomery that the Hon. John Wizard Dimmick, who has a bank, will demand that both the Hon. Frank and the Hon. Hilary shall fuse on him, the said Dim mick. As Herbert has no bank and Dim mick has a bank, Dimmich has the call, and will be apt to lasso the Hon. Frank.

THE GOOD WORK GOES STEADILY or

THE GOOD WORK dOES STEADlLY ON
 Almost every day something comes to light to remind us that this Is bad year for political bosses. Wherever the peo- pie were given a chance before the meet- ing oe the national democratic conven- tion they came forth from the contest with any number of scalps of political bosses dangling at their belts. In some states the rank and file of the democratic party were given no show whatever when it came to the selection of dele gates to the national convention. In states that fared that way goldbug dele- gatlons turned up at Chicago and at- tempted to commit the great democratic party of this country to the financial doctrine that old John Sherman has been engineering in this country during the past twenty-five years. New York was one of the states where the bosses gath cred together and commissioned them selves to Chicago, giving the people no chance, but the peoples day has come in the Empire State and they are being heard from, and that in no uncertain tones.
 The following special telegram from Watertown, in Jefferson county, N. Y, the home county Of Ex-Governor Flower one of the Pullman palace car delegates to Chicago. throws a flood of light on the real situation and the sentiment Of the real democrats of New York:
 "Watertown. N. r., Aug. 17.-Ex- Gov, Roswell Flower said before he left New York for Watertown that he was coming to Jefferson county to send gold delegates to the state convention. The district conventions met today and hDfh passed resolutions indnrsing Bryan and Sewall and instructing the delegates to the state convention to vote for the in- dorsement of the ticket and platform. They practically read Flower out of the party by passing resolution condemn ing the attempts made by certain per sons to use the name Of the party they have left to aid in the election of repub lcan candidates.
 Never before have the conventions in Jefferson county been so well artcnded or so much enthusiasm shown. The rural

The People Will Settle Accounts.

Selma Times.
 The good people of Alabama are not ing the eager interest taken in their po- htical affairs by the Louisville and Nashville boa constructor. That snake pays Fat Jeff Falkner $4500 a year and Lean Tom Jones $3500 year, besides free passes, and their principal business seems to be that of running about over the country to try to disrupt the demo- cratic party so that Mckinley will be elected. The people will settle accounts with this anaconda one of these days. They won't hold its hirelings any more guilty than it is. It was built with the money of the people of this state, in large part, and must be taught how to behave itself.

His Sole Purpose.
Montgomery Journal.

Clarks own statement he belongs to republican aid society. He says: My sole purpose is to defeat Bryan" Of course he is too sensible a man for a mo- ment to believe that his ticket no matter whom his aid society may name, could be elected Then is anybody being de- ceived by following Hon. Thomas Halle lujah Clark? If they are. it is their own, not MT. Clark's fault. MT. Clark has put all on guard, while MT Bragg of Wiscon- sin has openly declared the purpose of the movement is to elect Mckinley. The movement, therefore, which the Montgomery morning paper is leading is very aptly named the Republican Aid society.

The democratic electors in this state are as much the nominees of the last state convention as were Captain John ston and the other men on the ticket with him who have been elected. MT. Clarke and his supporters are in honor bound to vote for those electors. They participated in the primaries and in the convention, and if they are democrats and believe in the democratic principle that the majority should rule they will march up to the polls and vote for the democratic electors

Mellowing Influence of Time.

Selma Times.
 The Hon. Thomas Genymede Jones, who is now posing as the apostle of law less than twenty years ago. He was supreme court reporter and town couu- cilmau. but he was anxious to be mayor of Montgomery He complained bitter ly that the banks of the town would not let him have it. He talked very hard about them, and about what taxes he paid and what the bankers paid. If he couldn't find anybody to listen to his walls he would go out and talk to the curbstones about the bankers You know how hard he takes things that don't go his way. That was before the Louisville and Nashville found him He don't talk any more anarchy now He now says:

 blows,
 Where oxlips and the nodding violet
 grows."

= . ----------------- A FAIR SHOW DOWN.

Notwithstanding Montgomery county, the home of Ex-Governor Jones and the Montgomery organ of the Republican Aid society, went overwhelmingly for Captain Johnston in the primaries, the Johnston forces even carrying the very ward in the city in which the ex-gov- ernor lives and the Advertiser is pub- lfShed it must be admitted that the bolt ing sentiment is stronger in Montgomery than at any other point in the state. It is the home town of the organ of the bolters, of Ex-Governor Jones, Thomas H. Clark. chairman of the Republican Aid society of the state, and Col. J. M. Falkner, the Alabama member of the National Republican Aid society.
 It is hardly probable that any reputa- ble man would undertake to deny the proposition that right in Montgomery the bolting sentiment is stronger by far than at any other point in Alabama. Taking it for granted, therefore, that that proposition will not be denied, and knowing that it cannot be successfully denied, we propose to draw a compari- son for the purpose of showing how aw- fully weak the bolters are in this state. This can be done by reference to the two meetings which have taken place in that city this week at the opera house.
 On Monday night, after several days of earnest, energetic effort to work up a full attendance of the members of and sympathizers with the Republican Aid society, a meeting was held in the opera house. For several days extended black type notices of the meeting appeared in the morning republican organ of that city. A good deal of local space in the same paper in the way of special write ups was contributed. During the day Monday the town was simply flooded with posters and circulars urging a full attendance. What was the result? Ac- cording to actual count there were less than 400 in attendance at the meeting Monday night.
 On the following night, without any extra effort to get a crowd, and with only a few local notices in the afternoon pa per of the approaching meeting, more than 1900 people assembled in the same opera house to ratify the action of the national democratic convention.
 Further comment is absolutely unnec- essary. In the capital city of the state, at the home of the Advertiser, Ex-Gov- ernor Jones, Chairman Thomas H. Clark and Committeeman Fallxner, in the very hot-bed of bolters in this state, less than 400 could be rallied to turn out, and that when they knew that on the following night at the same place the regular de- mocracy of the city and county were to assemble to indorss the Chicago demo- cratic convention, and that the two meetings must necessarily be accepted as a show down as to the strength of the bolters in that city as compared with the faithful and true followers of the true democracy. Verify, the bolt in Ala bama is a very small affair. Bryan will carry Montgomery county and the home beat of Ex-Governor Jones and the Ad- vertiser
