WHAT CHANGES COME.

what marvellous changes time works.
One can scarcely realize that in less than
thirty days, in all probability, Kolb and
many of the men who with him refused
to go into the democratic state conven-
ton in 1892 and organized an independ-
ent party will be on the stump in Ala
bama speaking for the nominees of the
national democratic convention. But is
that more startling than the fact that
the Montgomery Advertiser is actually
engaged in war on the democratic nom
inee for president and today supporting
Mckinley, the republican nominee for
president, by leading in an effort to get
out an Independent ticket, the sole pur-
pose of which is to aid in the election of
the republican nominees?
Who ever thought that Kolb would live
to go on the stump in Ala
bama and demonstrate that he
is better democrat than the
Montgomery Advertiser? Who can
be heard to say that time does not right
all things and solve all problems.
That Kolb win have the better of the
argument no one can deny. He did not
go into-the party convention in 1892, and
was, therefore, not in the strict sense of
Advertiser is.
When Kolb saw in 1892 that the regu-
lar democratic convention was going TO
nominate Jones he pulled out and never
went before the convention, and his sup
porters also remained away, refusing to
participate in the convention.
The Advertiser, however, after pro-
claiming that all differences in the ranks
of the democracy would must and should
be settled by the national democratic
convention, after making the best fight it
knew how to induce that supreme party
authority to engraft in the party plat
form the peculiar ideas on certain ques-
| tons advocated by that paper now
| comes forth a bolter pure and simple.
For several weeks before the conven-
| ton assembled it was known of all men
that the party was not going to make a
| platform in line with the Advertiser s
views. Still that paper urged Whitney
| and others to proceed to Chicago and
| take part in the convention and do the
| best possible under the circumstances for
the international gold trust.
| So it will readily be seen that in the
bout that is bound to come between
|
| nominees and the Advertiser as the advo-
| cate of Mckinley or an independent tick
| ct in the interest of Mckinley Kolb will
have the advantage. The State Herald,
it must be understood, is in no wise seek
| ing to justify Kolb in refusing to submit
his claims to the regularly organized
| democratic convention in 1892, but is sim
| ply calling attention to the marvellous
| changes wrought by time and noting a
few facts concerning the political acts
and status OF two heretofore important
and prominent factors in the politics of
Alabama. Kolb lost caste and failed in
the effort to crafty his ambition to be-
come governor of the state by not using
good Judgment and making his fight for
the position inside the party. The Ad-
vertiser will fail to turn the state over to
Mckinley and Is doomed to change
hands or pass away soon. A republican
| morning paper cannot long survive in the
Capital City of Alabama.

one but themselves? All democrats in
Jefferson county are for the Chicago
platform and ticket, which one of those
perturbed and anxious souls modestly
but firmly declared "violated"-not one,
two or more, mind you, but-"a1l the old
principles of democracy" and another re-
ferred to as populism and populists.
Great shades of Jefferson, Jackson, Cal
houn and Benton! The Chicago plat
form "populism" and "violation of all
the old principles of democracy! p
Those gentlemen should study the first
principles and inform themselves what
constitutes real democracy.

Possibly the strongest argument used
in the campaign was that conceived and
nut forward by Hon. f. e. Blackburn.
Always on the watch for the cause OF MS
people and his party, the idea suggested
itself to him that reproduction of the
pictures of Elliott and Murray on the
same card board would prove an argu-
ment unanswerable. That Mr.. Black

They Mon,t Scare.

The State Gazette in its Tues
DAVIS issue has column "scare"
article, in which it warns those
who have encumbrances on their
property, that if they continue TO
advocate the free coinage of silver
and vote for and elect Bryan and
Sewall, those holding the trusts
and mortgages will foreclose them,
and the people will be unable to
get money to liquidate their obi
cations, 1t says everybody willbe
collecting, and they are not to be
blamed for it, as you would do the
same thing.
This is the lowest kind of dema;
goguery, and wilful and malic-.
ious attempt to drive men into vot-
ing against their own interests and
for the Republican single gold
standard ticket.
Lacking argument to uphold and
maintain their British side of the
question, an attempt is now made
to scare the people into their way
of voting. -,
The editor of the Gazette Tny
call in his loans, ie he has any, and
oppress the people, to force them
to vote for Mckinley, but we
doubt if, among 'all our other
money lenders there would be
found man, who would steel his
heart to do so cruel a thing.
The most of our own home
money lenders are Christian peo-
pie, and they would rather help a
man along in his extremities than
foreclose their mortgages against
them in times like these.
We have too high an opinion
of our own monied men to believe
for a moment they would be guilty
of such an act as portrayed and
threatened by the State Gazette.
Voters, don't let these threats of
the Gazette deter you from doing
your duty, as you find it.
If you believe free silver and
more money will be to the interest
of yourself, your family and your
country, vote for Bryan and Sewall.
If you believe to the contrary,
vote for Mckinley and the British
gold. STANDARD.

A Silvor McIdinp.

A Judge in Alabama who is red
hot silver man and somewhat ex-
citable in his nature, in marrying
a couple recently got the marriage
ceremony mixed up with the Demo
cratic platform recently adopted
at the Chicago convention. After
mistaking two attendants for the
bride and groom, he started off in
this fashion: Dearly beloved we
are gathered together here in the
sight of God and presence of these
witnesses to join together this man
and woman in holy matrimony at
the ratio of 16 to /, which is AN
honorable estate instituted of God
in the time of mans innocency,
signifying unto us that the stand
ard silver dollar shall be full le-
gal tender equally with gold for all
debts public and private into which
the holy estate these two persons
come now to be joined. Therefore
if any one can show any cause why
William jennings Bryan shall not
be elected President of these
United States let him now speak
or forever hereafter hold his peace.
i require and charge you both to
stick to the Democratic platform
lately adopted in Chicago, and If
any one of you know of any i'm
pediment why ye should not, speak
now or forever hereafter hold your
tongue"
