KRUGER is SARCASTIC.
treats England's Alleged Friendly Spirit
With Much Contempt.

,Copyrighted. 1896, by Associated Press)
Cape Town. April 2S.-The text Of Pres
ident Krugers reply TO the invitation OF
the British government, through the sec
retary OF state for the colJhies. 10 visit
England and discuss the matter connect
ed with the Transvaal and its future,
is a voluminous document, and plainly
indicates the firm attitude assumed by
the Beers, The president begins Icy stat
ing that his visit 10 England has de-
pended upon a settlement Of the basis
OF discussion, and he regrets that the
basis has not yet been reached. Con-
tinuing. he says:
In a friendly spirit, but from the very
first. the government clearly saw and
recorded its opinion that no foreign in
terference in the affairs OF the .epublic
could be allowed. Chamberlain admits
the justice of this position, yet Te inu-
mates that Great Britain desires that
particular International measures be
taken by the Transvaal. the latter can't
allow TO pass unnoticed the expression,
admitted grievance and eXpres re-
gret that, having intimated its desire for
a reconsideration OF the London conven-
ton, in consequence OF the inroad Of DR..
Jameson, the position should be assum-
ed that the discussion OF the so-styled
admitted grievance must be ineiud ID as
sine qua non, in the event of the recon-
sideration of the convention being agreed
to-"
Kruger adds that the South African
republic has always been prepared to
serve and consider in a friendly ypirit
I private suggestions Of the imperial gov
| erument regarding the interests f Brit
/ ish subjects, although IL has never ad-
mitted the existence of a so-called "ad-
/ mitted grievance" and must deny on
/ that account that the right exists to
| create rebellious movements.
1t appears TO be the wiser. he says,
I mot 10 press the question of ny pro-
| ceeding to England any further ~ pres
ent. but TO leave It open, Nspe ;iallv in
{ view OF the coming session of ;he vclks-
raad, and the desirability of my presence
during at least a portion Of .he session,
when important measures are to he con-
seidered, is apparent"
In regard to Chamberlain's proposal to
! guarantee the Transvaal protection from
outside attack in exchange for the lem-
edy OF the Uitlanders' grievan ,es, Pres
| ident Kruger says:
Something Is offered the South Al.
rican republic which it already possessed
as the obligations and selections of the
South African republic to Great Britain

 It always affords a public journal pleasure to testify to merit where 1t is deserved. It is therefore with pleasure and pardonabie pride that the Age-Her- ald ions with its brethren of the press in testifying to the merit, skill and reltabil- ity of Dr. O. T. Dozier, Principal of the Southern Medical Dispensary of this city. pr.

He can be relied on in all matters pertaining to his profession. The News comments him most cordially to all those in need of his services.

the same politically he was two years ago? Has his views changed any as to the financial policy of the president? If not, why does the Advertiser continue to brand him as an antagonist of the admin istration?
 His democracy was good enough then; or at least one would think so from her own declarations Some time after the meeting of the state convention he and Governor Oates met in Montgomery, and the Advertiser, in commenting upon the meeting, spoke of them as "the two mo- guls of democracy" In all candor, gen. tlemen, If that is all, l would suggest that you come square down to brass tacks and say you are opposed to him because he is friendly to silver and Will not pander to the whms of the partisan press Contrary to his own convictions) for popularity. I am of the opinion that great many extreme administrator democrats are like some of ours were two years ago-they claimed that l was an tagonizing the admnistration-but while talking to some of them upon that SUD ject I found they criticised more or ms acts than I did. Those are the kind of ad- ministration democrats we have in Cher olkee.
 Every man that is friendly toward sil- yer is elassed with the anti-Cleveland forces; not only that, but they are called slverloons and fusionists by all the rock ribbed, iron-bOund, sound-money demo- . cratic journals or the SIale. put tuS iceoe and most contemptible thing I have seen from any paper claiming to have the in- terest of the party at heart was a thrust at Captain Johnston for drafting the thirteenth plank in the democratic plat form in '92.
 Some one asks where MT. Clarke was while the fight was on in 1892, put one of his goldbug friends comes to ms res cue and says he was in the First districe helping Governor Jones all he could Well, I suppose he did help Governor Jones some but am of the opinion that he talked more about congress than ne did about the gubernatorial race. Again, one of his friends says he's hustler. l don't suppose anyone who is acquainted with his political record will deny that, for almost as soon as he is elected to one office he begins hustlng around to get another regardless of where duty calls; but when he is defeated before the state convention he will be exceedingly anx- ious to go back to Washington and serve his dear people, preparatory to his race for congress next fall. If elected to con gress again he will still have an oppor- tunity to run for the senate, and 1T de- feated he will have lost nothing, for he will still be congressman from the First district, as it is not at all necessary to resign one office to run for another, yet his friends have the cheek to denounce Captain Johnston as a chronic off1ce- seeker.
 Captain Johnston certainly IS the man to bear the colors to victory this time.

Johnston the Man.

The Advertiser seems very much wor- red just now over the action of the exec utive committee, yet they would have democrats all over the state believe it would result in a victory for MT. Clarke. She claims that the partisan action of the executive committee in throwing down the fences would prove boomer ang to Captain Johnston's cause.
 They say 1t has disgusted many demo- crats who had been kindly disposed to- wards Captain Johnston, and gives as an example a clipping from the Selma Times:
 "The Times does not know but that Mir M l.. Woods plan to allow the exec utive committee of each county to regu- late who shall vote in primaries would have been best for this section; but we have no doubt the action of the commit tee will greatly strengthen the party in north Alabama"
 That doesn't look like the Times was very much hurt at Captain Johnston if that was all she said, and the preSump- ton is that if there had been anything more they the Advertiser) would have given it to their readers, as they are so very anxious to have Captain Johnston defeated before the state convention.
 One would think from her denunciation of Captain Johnston that they expect to accomplish more from what they term his demerits than they do on the merits of their blue-eyed boy. The Advertiser says MT Clarke is the leader of the anti free silver, pro Cleveland, loyal admin istration democrats. Again they speak of them as the iron-bound, rock-ribbed, sound-money democrats.
 I suppose they all come under the same class; if so, I would think the prefix would be burdensome, and if it takes all of that to constitute a Clarke follower there are very few of them in this coun- ty I suppose they think Gas do some of our sound money mem if one is friendly toward silver his democracy is shaky; but I know that is not true, for they are just as loyal to the party as MT. Clarke or anyone else. and a great deal more so than those anti-free silver, pro Cleveland, loyal administration --- z democratic papers who say they will not support the nominee if he is a silver man. Think of a journal claiming to be thesexponent Of pure democracy and leader of the peo- pie making use of such language. They had as well say we will support the nom- inee if they nominate our man. Not much democracy about that-in fact, none at all.
 The supporters of Captain Johnston are going to support the nominee ofgthe state convention called by the state executive committee to meet in the city of Mont gomery April 21, let 1t be who it may; not only that, but they will work for the ticket. Will the supporters of MT. Clarke do as much?
 I believe Captain Johnston Is as good a democrat as there is in the state. Has he eyer failed to answer the party's call? No Is the party under any obligation to him? We answer most emphaticaliy-- yes was told not long since by a. mem Der of the state committee that he had more calls for Captain Johnston two years ago in his district than anyone else. the standard-bearer not excepted.
