WILL REFUSE AGAIN.

Mr. Lewis F.. Parsons, one of the old time republicans, who has been laid away for long time as a political factor in this state, but hopes to come to the front again by virtue of new life he expects the swallowing of the populite party to infuse into the republican party, says in the Washington Post of the 17th that there are about 142, 900 negro voters in Alabama, who can be relied on to "vote solidly for the fusion ticket" and he thinks 75,0O0 white men will do the same. MT. Parsons plainly calls it the fusion ticket" and were his wishes carried out what chance would the 75,000 white men have with 142,000 negroes? But Mir. Par sons is little sanguine When his par ty had the state by the throat and | made 1t a. crime to challenge an illegal voter, and controlled every county in the state and nearly every oficeholder was theirs, the white men refused to unite with the negroes, and they will refuse again.

bill MT. Evans said that the section had been found so faulty that no regulations could be framed by the treasury depart ment--as the language of the section di- rected-tbat would protect the govern ment, and that the government stood to lose between $25,000 and $35,000 in claims every day since 1t was enacted. The re- peal of the section was vigorously op- posed by Messrs. Russell and Hill, re- publicans, of Connecticut, on the ground that it would be reversal of one of the principles of the republican party in the matter of protection, the latter giving notice that he would move to strike out the repeal clause and insert instead the amendment for committee of investiga- tion. The bill was not disposed of when, at o'clock, the committee rose and the house adjourned

sTArE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We the 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 principies are the following: n
 i The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1 as the standard money of the country, without any dls- crimination against either metal and without the consent Of foreign nations, as the United States colneo silver ana cold before the republican party ob- tained control of the government and cbanred the coinage laws of the country fo, tbe benefit of class and to the in il,ry of a great mass of the people.
 The unconstitutional penalty of 10 ner centum on each issue of state bank notes by any state or national pank ought to be repealed.
 If is our purpose to maintain govern ,,ent in this state fair and just to all, under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 The faith and credit of the state must he maintained untarnished.
 Our system of public education should Inc improved and extended so far as the state has the ability, without oppressive taxation.
 We are in favor of honest and fair elections, and we recommend that laws he enacted under which primary elec- lions and other party proceedings for the selection of candidates may be con- ducted.
 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.

for the single gold standard, and the Chicago convention by reaffirming, as it now seems certain it will. the time-hon- ored and cherished democratic doctrine of btmetallism, will go to the country with unqualified assurances of the ap- proval of the great mass of the voters, and will receive their indorsement by overwhelming majorities in the national election.
 We again repeat that the only reason- able hope for democratic success in No- vember is for thesp party in it's national convention to reassert and emphasize it's true and ancient principles, and nomi- nate as It's candidate one who will hon- estly and fearlessly redeem it's pledges.
 Let this be done; the people will do the rest

The Bookman for June, which is just out, sustains its remarkable reputation for freshness of interest in all it's depart ments. The illustrations are especially interesting and valuable in this number particularly those accompanying an arti- cle of exceptional importance by the we'll known London editor MT. Clement K. Shorter on Mrs. Gaskell and Char lotte Bronte.' Some of these are from rare portraits and drawings, and have never been published before An article on Canadian Feeling Toward the United States" will attract attention. The Liv- ing Critic dealt with this month is MT. Coventry Patmore, of whom there is a portrait. The latest books are well repre- sented in the reviews, notably MT. All lens Summer in ArcadN.'' MT. Frede- ric's "Damnation of Theron Ware" Mr. Crockett's "Cleg Kelly" and Miss Will kins' "Madclon." "Kailyard Literature" disposes of the recent accumulation of Scottish novels, and Ian Maclaren con- tributes two more chapters of his novel, Kate Carnegie"

Says the Montgomery Journal: "A prominent republican of Chiffon county was in Montgomery few days ago. In an interview he declared unalterable op- position to fusion with the populists He said he was opposed to any fusion with that element and would go down and take the stump against it. He would, he said, probably support the county ticket. but would not touch the state fusion tick ct, and added that he didn't believe the party would in Chiffon. Many leading and influential republicans throughout the state are openly declaring that they will not support the fusion ticket"

For Goodwin.


The Montgomery Journal says MT. Goodwin will have his expenses footed by the government. whilst he neglects his congressional duties in running for governor. MT. Goodwin is a little too smart to resign. He doubtless thinks a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, or even a negro in the woodpile.
