A Better Way to show Virtue.

Tuskegee News.
No one is a greater admirer of Gov
ernor Jones than this writer. He made
as dauntless and as capable a governor
as Alabama ever had. His decision to
bolt the national democracy has panied
us beyond measure, It was his unflinch-
ing doctrine of loyalty to party organiza-
ton that held so many wavering ones
in line, and now he has gone back
ON his own preaching and left those who
seek to carry out his teachings to wage
the warfare alone. In his speech at Bir-
mingham he said that the principal could
not be bound by the unauthorized acts OF
the agent. But what about the agents
that the Alabama democracy sent to
Chicago? Were they not instructed to
vote for free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 :?
OF course they were They carried out
their agency to the letter and therefore
the principal, tine Alabama democracy,
must stand by the acts of its agents.
Their refusal to glorify Cleveland, their
criticism of the supreme court, their de-
mand that federal authorities do not
NEEDLE with local affairs, may have been
more than some approve, but those
things in the platform do not justify
democrats in boiling the ticket. Cleve-
land is great man; coming generations
will read his history with admiration.
1t is not necessary for him nor essential
to the salvation of the country that all
gatherings sing his praises. Besides,
when 1t is remembered that the majority
of that convention felt little of this VEN
Grafton for our president why should
they have falsified themselves by high
sounding eulogies upon him. Our boiling
friends are actuated by patriotism, but
they could show their virtue better by
standing by the ship and helping to save
her. -

All Democrats Acauiesce.

CuIIman Gazette.
The Gazette deplores the fact that
some who have heretofore borne an UNI
furnished democratic record propose to
bolt the party and it's nominees, and are
trying to create a scism in it's ranks and
thereby aid the republican party. The
fight over the financial question was
made fairly and squarely, inside the
party. before the convention, and silver
won. Democrats ought to and will sub
nit to the decision of the majority. You
may not get all you want, but you have
nothing to gain in new party. The
so-called sound money men ought now
to stand firm. BY doing otherwise they
declare themselves boilers, and their ac-
tion can only result in aiding the repub-
lican party, the enemy of democracy, the
friend of monopoly and the enemy of the
masses.

He of All Others.
Talladega Mountain Home

Talladega Mountain Home.
We had thought that one of the last
men in Alabama to leave the organized
democratic party would have been Thorn
as G.. Jones.
Twice did he receive the nomination for
governor at the hands of conventions,
from both of which there were boiling
conventions. Twice did he come before
the people for the highest office within
their gift, and was twice honored in the
coming. -
His campaigns were in the interest of
democratic supremacy and harmony, and
their thunders were launched mainly
against boilers and designating influ-
ences as the direct foes of good govern
ment and democracy
On this pedestal he posed as the idol
of the people, the highest type and ex-
ponent of Alabama chivalry, real and
true to his party, and was borne into Of
flee on a wave of enthusiasm and admira-
ton such as seldom sweeps our state, over
the head of perhaps the most powerful
organizer and leader that ever eSpoused
the cause of populism in Alabama. But
the delusion is vanished and the popular
idol shivered. s~yf5
The memories of the opera house con-
vention at Montgomery six years ago,
when his boiling antagonist was set up,
the devotion with which the legions OF
democracy then rallied to his support
have surely passed from his mind, and
we find him appearing in very different
role August 10 in another opera house
scene at Lakeview, himself the chief
actor there disavowing and turning his
back on the party which had crowned his
life with honor and repudiating it's plat
form and nominees. .t-,-.
Is this the loyalty to democracy which
Thomas G. Jones so eloquently advocated
four and six years ago?
Ex-Governor Jones should have re-
manned in the organized democratic par
ty and used, his great personal magnet
ism to bring about the proper reforms in
side the ranks.

portunity of voting for candidates who
will support the ticket to be nominated
at Indianapolis ON the I'd of September"
The above from the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser of Sunday gives the boilers
whole 'snap" away. They know that 1t
is impossible to nominate goldbug candi-
dates for congress in the regular demo-
cratic party, except perhaps in the First
district, and by boiling they will get
Screws and others into the field and by
republican votes hope to elect them to
congress. In this they will be badly dis
appointed. The democratic party is in
control in Alabama and no boiling gold
bug can be elected, even if the republic
ans do vote for him.

A Surprise and q Shock.

Admission Hot Blast
The people of Alabama are surprised to
find Thomas G. Jones playing the fole OF
a f1isorganlzer and bolter. After his con-
fest with Captain Kolb for the governor
ship. in which campaign he denounced
boilers and dsorganizers in the most
scathing terms, he was the last man In
Alabama whom we would have expected
to desert the organization OF the demo-
cratic party.
The bolt of Governor Jones has at
tracted more attention than that of any
other man who has followed the lead or
the Montgomery Advertiser for the rea-
son that there is no man in Alabama
who owes the democratic party more
than does Governor Jones.
The press of the state Is general in its
expression of surprise at Governor Jones
action.

Digging Their Own Graves.


Sumter sun. a.,
We have come to 1.-THE parting of the
ways." Those democrats who hold to
bimetallism, together with those who
place party loyalty above the gold stand
ard, will stick close to the regular organ
ization and give Bryan and Sewal
hearty support in November, while those
who prefer republicansm to democracy
and the gold standard to bimetallism
will Join the boilers and place an opposi-
ton ticket in the field, knowing that it's
election is impossible, but satisfied If
Mckinley through their efforts defeats
Bryan. But the common masses of the
common people, understand the situa-
ton and will snow the boilers under so
deep that 1t will take GabriePs trumpet
to awaken them. Tom Jones and others
who have been honored at the hands of
democracy, now leading the boilers, are
digging their political graves, into which
they will be buried in November too deep
ever to be resurrected.

No Recruits to Be Had.

Columbiana Chronicle.
The Chronicle notices call for state
convention on August q to elect dele
gates to the Indianapolis convention. In
this call Shelby county is entitled to sew
en- delegates 1t is hard to see how Shell
by can comply and send seven delegates
when there are not seven boilers in the
county, and consequently not seven men
in the county in sympathy with the
movement. Though Shelby Is a strong
sound money county, still her democracy
is as firm as the rock of Gibraltar, and
she does not believe in dishonoring her
self by boiling the party after participant
ing in her primaries and conventions.

money men not to participate in the reg
ular democratic congressional primaries,
but to wait until it and its set shall get
ready. Surely the democratic party of
Alabama will not let such a dictator dis

that date, to select delegates to a state
convention of boilers to be held at Mont

Monroe Journal
Truly politics do work wonderful
changes. Four years ago the Mont
gomery Advertiser was the leading ex-
ponent of democracy in Alabama and for
many years previously commanded the
batteries that captured the works of our
political enemies. Today we find it a
traitor to the party and people, not only
giving comfort and aid to our ancient
enemies, but actually heading a bolt by
which it seeks to turn the state over,
bound and sealed, to the republican
party.

they never once think how their names

last Monday night, at which Ex-Gov-

party to rule the government forever.

There is considerable dissa tisfaction

a sound money ticket is put in the field
1t will be in the interests of Mckinley
