STRONG PLEA FOR PARTY.
Committeeman Lawson Exalts Party Loyalty and lnvokes Fair Treatment for
 Every Democrat.
To the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
 I have heard it suggested that my let ter to MT Smith was inspired by one high in the councils of the party. Such is not the fact. They were my views, and were written without consultation with anyone and in the interest of the democratic party. In answer to some of the criticisms of said letter I will state that the first editorials in Alabama against the free coinage of silver ap- peared in the Agricultural Journal, of which I was editor and proprietor, at a time when all the democrats in Alabama were practically for the free coinage of silver. I will state further that the first articles which appeared in the Montgom- cry Advertiser against the free coinage of silver were written by me and I have not changed my views on this question. I have always been and am still an ar dent supporter of MT. Cleveland's ad- ministration. I not only indorse him. but I agree with him. But MT. Cleve- lands administration is not a practical question before the democrats of Ala bama; his administration will have ended before those we will vote for that could give 1t substantial support are inducted into office.
 Two years ago it was a practical ques- ton, and supported Governor Oates on his indorsement of MT. Clevelands ad- mnistration. Then we were voting for those who could give substantial aid to his administration before 1t expired and they are in congress today. The only other issue that Is made Is that of sound money, which l am as true to as any; but the time and manner of presentation do not approve of The time and man. ner of it's presentation is. in effect to say that no free silver democrat shall hold state office in Alabama This is the only practical issue before the demo- crats of Alabama in the nomination of state officers. Let us see the conse- quences of such a policy if successful Will it not dawn upon the free silver democrats that the only use the demo- cratic party has for them is to help elect those the sound money democrats nomi- nate? And will it not be the end of dem ocratic rule in Alabama? It may be said that all the free silver democrats are supporting candidate for governor who favors the free coinage of silver. I grant that it is true, but are they not fighting for their standing in the party? Do they not feel if the opposition to their finan- cial views succeeds, that they will not have any standing in the party? I de- sire that every democrat in Alabama. whatever his financial views may be, shall have a standing and recognition in the party and I desire further to see the issues upon which we are divided eschewed in nominatio, for state off, cers to the end that we may be united in the election and thus insure democrat ic rule in Alabama. Let our policy be such that when the nominations are made and the platform adopted that ev- cry democrat can stand upon 1t and en- Enthusiastically support the nominees. 1,

 mersten and MT J. B. Jackson. the first secretary of the American embassy. Af- ter the banquet Rex Vulcan conferred the Grand Star of the Golden Sun on Elm
 peror William and the Cord of Africa on
 Mr Jackson, and the emperor in turn
 conferred the Grand Eagle of the Ho-
 henzollern upon Rex Vulcan I.
 This morning his imperial majesty
 drove to the residence of the late MT.
 Runyon, the American ambassador, and
 expressed his sympathy to the widow.
 To MT. Jackson he mentioned his in-
 tention of visiting the United States
 shortly, and also of visiting his royal
 subjects in Birmingham on February IS.
 Rex Vulcan Accompanied by his suite,
 left this morning on special trains con
 sisting of Wagner cars. for Vienna. CHARLES DEKAY United States Consul General.
