SHERMAN AT 1T AGAIN.

In his speech at Columbus, o., on the
10Th of August, John ELIZA Pnkston)
sherman asserted that il the United
States should authorize the free coinage
OF silver the silver dollars thereafter
coined would have a debt-paying power
OF 100 cents, but a purchasing power of
only 80 cents To use his own words. at
is to be legal tender for 81 of debt, but
in the purchase of any article it is worth
only 53 cents for the seller of the article
can fix his price according to the kind of
money offered Could more apparent
and palpable falsehood be framed in hui
man language? A dollar that can pay
100 cents of debt will become an object of
almost unlimited demand at any price
less than 100 cents, and will so remain as
long as there are debts to be paid with it;
and this demand, by the unvary.ng laws
of commerce, will make that dollar worth
as much to buy with as to pay debts,
which indeed is no more than a buying in
by the debtor of his own obligation. Near
ly all producers and sellers of commodi-
ties are debtors also. They cannot gen.
erally-they never do alone-fix the prices
at which they sell. They will part with
their commodities therefore, for any
kind of money at or near IT'S debt-paying
power or value; and this, under all ordi-
nary circumstances, makes its debt-pay-
ing power identical, or nearly so, with it's
purchasing power. Whatever of differ
ence there may be will appear in the adj
yancing of prices at which labor and COM
modities will sell for while. This will
very soon adjust itself without harm to
anyone, but to the general benefit and
encouragement of industry and enter
prise.
No one knows these things better than
John Sherman, but neither truth nor hon
esty can be expected from the inventor
of vile election frauds and the perpetrator
and apologist of the crime of 1873. .

silver looks for help and justice. She
pleads her cause: I am the queen of the
peoples industry. My companionship
is the common things of 1.-The humble
home. My walks are in the pockets of
the masses, and my music jingles over
the counter of the tradesman. My lovers
are the sons of toll, and my cheeks are
fondled tenderly by horny hands. My
eyes smile with joy at your prosperity,
and fill with tears at your adversely; my
voice is that of hope and encouragement;
my grasp is that of friendship and SYM
pathy. My food is the grateful blessings
of a happy, prosperous people, and my
jewels their crystalized affections. Lift
me up, oh, we masses of democracy
Open again the doors of my fathers
house; let me enter the minis free and
untrammeled, and there in my dressing
room clothe me with the right to buy
and SELL clothe me with the insignia of
authority, place upon my brow a peo-
pies crown, upon which Is inscribed the
watchword of a nation, liberty and
encrcle it with the source of your power
e pluribus unum.' Upon my back en-
grave the American bird of freedom, be-
tween whose pinions inscribe peoples
faith, In God we trust Encircle my
border with the name of my country,
and stamp its authority upon my face,
One dollar; good for all public and pri-
vate debts and I will bless you forever

SHOULD CONSIDER WE'LL.

At a recent meeting of the democratic
executive committee of the city of Bir-
Mingham a subcommittee was appoint
ed to draft a plan by which the demoera-
ey of the city shall nominate a candidate
for mayor and candidates for aldermen.
The subcommittee will meet tomorrow
night. 1t is hardly probable that the
subcommittee will be able to reach a
conclusion at that meeting, as they have
invited suggestions, and we presume
there will be plenty of them on hand to
be heard and considered.
In preparing the plan we hope the COM
mittee will not fail to take into consid-
Grafton the fact that plan which will
guarantee absolute, or as nearly abso-
lutte, fairness as possible is necessary It.
is very necessary that a plan be adopted
that will command the approval and
support of the entire democracy Of the
city.
BY act of the last legislature the city
was divided into nine wards. The State
Herald learns that in three of these
wards there is probably negro MAORI
ties. The law as 1t now stands requires
each ward to elect it's own aldermen.
Therefore it is plain that the democrats
of the city must stand together in order
that all Of the aldermen of the city next
time may be white men.
The committee should also bear in
mind that the city campaign should
come off at once or should be postponed
until after the November election. 1t
certainly cannot be to the interest of
either the city or national and congress
,ai 10 J,
on at one and the same time.
The State Herald hopes that such
steps as are necessary to procure the
election of a democratic mayor, and
with him solid democratic board of al
dermen, will be taken, also that dates
will be so arranged as to keep the city
campaign from interfering with the
presidential and congressional campaign.

FALSE i'm ONE. FALSE I'M ALL.

John Sherman tells us that we, the
people of the United States, have now
in our treasury silver bullion which
cost us $11S,O0 900 in gold or it's equiva-
lent, all bought under the Sherman law
of 1890. He says further this silver bull
lion, as such, Is now worth but So cents
on the dollar, or but $62, $4,000. If coined
it would be worth $685. 100000 more and
would circulate at par with gold among
our 70,000,000 of people, who are famished
for more money. John Sherman and his
gang would auction it off for So cents on
the dollar or whatever it would bring
to English bullion buyers. to be used in
India and elsewhere for the ruin of our
wheat and cotton growers by depressing
the prices of their products to the level
of products of coolies and ryots, sdegrad-
ing them ultimately to the condition of
the half-starved, half-naked laborers of
the east. The democratic party would
coin this silver and put 1t in circulation,
directly profiting thereby nearly every
one of our people to the amount of 81,
$55 ACC, 900 in all, and making 1t help and
advance their interests by its use in all
the business of the country. Yet Sher-
man says silver mine owners alone
would profit by the free coinage of silver.
Who can believe man who talks after
this fashion? False in one thing, false
In ALL applies in full force to him, wheth-
er he speaks or acts.

Miss Minnie Murry.

The above is a photograph of Miss Min
ME hurry, the young lady who lead the
Boise applause when his name was pre-
sented to the national democratic con-
vention. When the nominating speech
placing the Iowa candidate before the
convention closed 1t appeared that the
last spark of Boise enthusiasm had gone
out. Just then a young lady in the gal
lery, dressed in white, was discovered on
her feet vociferously cheering and wav-
ing small banner. At once some gal
liant gentleman piloted her to the open
aisle on the first floor, where she led the
march, and soon the entire convention
was in an uproar, and the placing of the
Iowan's name before the convention es-
capped falling fiat because of the earnest
support of Boise by Miss Murry
Miss hurry is the chief editor of the
Nasha Reporter, Nasha, Ia, staunch
democratic weekly, which has done much
Tor the cause of true bimetallism. After
the adjournment of the national convefi-
ton Mr.. Boise acknowledged the loyal
support given him by Miss hurry in a
long and earnest letter ~

One of the most sweeping victories for
democracy, which was also one OF the
most crushing defeats sustained by the
fusionists in the recent contest was
achieved in Lee county. In that county
the democrats headed their ticket with
the Hon. r. b. Barnes for the legislature.
Against him was pitted the loud-mouth-
ed evangel, who poses as the ''dady" of
the populite party and also as the presi-
d6nt of some sort of a southern league,
which has enabled him to get the ear of
radical audiences in northern states, be-
fore whom he delighted always in abus-
ing and maligning southern democrats,
and especially Alabama democrats. Mr..
Barnes went into the campaign early
and resolved to win. From every stump
in Lee county he preached true democra-
cy to the people, and when the smoke of
the battle had cleared away beneath
democratic majority of 700 votes. against
a populite majority of Ats in 1894, was
found the woefully disligured form of the
papa" of the populite party.
The friends of Mr. Barnes will put
him forth as a candidate for speaker of
the house, and if chosen he will make
magnificent presiding officer. He is
thoroughly posted on parliamentary law.
Firm, but affable, always If elected we
predict that Mr. Barnes will prove very
popular presiding officer.

Ridiculous and Absurd.
Dadeville Herald.

Dadevllle Herald.
The boiling organs keep saying that
the national democratic convention was
captured by the oratory of boy. There
could not be anything more ridiculous
and absurd. There were over 900 dele
gates in the convention, men who were
world; men who had made a study of the
financial question for years. Then to
come up with the fiimsy excuse and say
that this body of intelligent men was
captured and made to forget everything
for the time being-in other words, hyp-
Noticed by boy orator--is too ridiculous
and absurd to be thought of.

Keep Up the Good Work.

Selma Times.
The Montgomery Advertiser said some
weeks ago that 1.-The people of Montgom-
cry were not breaking their necks every
morning in the mad rush to read the Sell
ma Times" 1t seems that the temper of
these same people of Montgomery has
changed. as a prominent gentleman of
that city said yesterday: "The Selma
Times is now much more in demand in
Montgomery than the Advertiser. You
people of the Times are drawing blood
from the hides of thA boilers to Mckinley
every day, and you are bound to run
them to their holes. Keep up your good
work; they have disgraced our city, and
ought to be held up to the scorn Of every
patriotic southerner."
