The free coinage of silver is the win

white men know that this can never come

are drawing the line at goldbug republic

quietly coming over to the democratic
party, where lies their only possible hope
for the free coinage of silver They know
that Capt Joseph F. Johnston was the
original champion of free coinage in Ala
bama and has never fiickered in his adj

MR.. PICKETT's RECLAMATION.
Governor Carr's Letter and Goodwyn's
Vote Did 1t,

Governor Carr's Letter and Goodwyn's
Vote Did It.
All our readers will remember Cap
tain Johnston's references to the way
negroes were put in office over white
men in North Carolina under the pop
ulist rule. The most prominent men,
Der of the populist party in this county
did not believe that Captain Johnston
was correct in his statements, so he
wrote the governor of North Carolina
asking If such was the fact. The reply
came that the half had not been told
by Captain Johnston, and that things
were decidedly worse than the people
of Alabama had been told. The negroes
who were appointed to office there to
preside over cases wherein white persons
were concerned are appointed to life
times positions, and the only way to get
them out of office is by impeachment.
With such policy as this behind the
populists in those states where they
gained power white people who reside
in the sections where the negroes are,
as they are in the greater part of the
south, cannot countenance such party,
and this action toward the negroes is
doing more to break the populist party
in the south than anything else.
The person to whom we referred above
is Mr. j. r. w. Pickett, a person who
has wide influence in his section, and the
was a populist. When he received the
reply from the governor of North Caro-
lima it was enough for him. That, con-
nected with Mr.. Goodwyn's voting for
a negro to be placed in a white congress
mans seat, was more than Mr.. Pickett
could stand, and Monday last he re-
marked to a representative of the Her
aid that he didn't think Captain Good
wyn would have vote in his beat. Mr..
Pickett is one of the best posted persons
in this county on all political matters,
and though he went with Kolb and
later claimed the populists party, he
has ever held that the white man must
rule in this country, and to that lofty
principle he adheres closely, and he and
his partymen in this county can be turn
ed from a party quicker by violation
of that principle than by almost any
thing else. Mr.. Pickett was once an
ardent supporter of democracy, and we
believe that he truly sees that his faith
is the only one for the people of the
south,

News From the Field
of WOrkerS~-uzzzS>

Crowds are flocxing to hear the true
democratic doctrine preached by the
democratic orators all over the state.
Captain Johnston received a grand
ovation at Monbi1 on June 30. 1t was
one that any man should be proud of.
Rev. John M Simpson, a true and tried
old veteran of democracy from Morgan
state committee to make a number of
stump speeches. He will no doubt do
great good in his section.
Capt. E. J. Oden of Garden City writes:
1.-THE prospects for a. democratic victory
in Blount county are growing brighter
every day.
Camp fires are burning brightly all
over the state. 1t behooves every DEM
ocrat in the state to be on guard and to
keep the fight up until the last hour on
the first Monday. in August.
The news comes that the democratic
party is certainly gaining ground in old
Cleburne.
From private letter we extract the
following: Goodwin cooked his goose
in Tallapoosa county when he voted for
the niger Murray in congress-

THE NEGRO IN OFFICE.

Pertinent Questions Propounded to the
Populists of Alabama.
Jacksonville Republican.
editor Republican,: 1t seems to the
writer that the third party has put itself
in position where the people of the state
have right to inquire as to its future
policy with reference to the negro. AS is
well known, there are quite number of
CO, mites in this state where the negro
pc7ulation is in excess of the white popu-
lation. The third party has made a bid
for the negro VOTE and is proclaiming
that the negro is entitled to vote, and
that his vote ought to be counted as cast.
Thus may be SO.
The pertinent question is this: If by
the aid of the negro vote the third party
candidates are elected in those counties
where the negro vote predominates, what
the third party proposes to do at the next
election, If negroes put out candidates OF
their own color in those counties and vote
for them? Will the third party leaders
please tell the white people of Alabama
whether or not they will be true to their
professions in favor of the negro, and
will declare the negro candidates duly
elected, and will put negro probate
judges, sheriffs, justices of the peace, tax
assessors, etc, in office and let them ruin
those counties in which they have ma
jority?
If not, will they please tell the negroes
that so long as they vote the third party
ticket their votes will be counted, but
when they begin to vote for their own
color the white men will still remain in
office?
Will the third party openly and can
didly say whether or not it is in favor OF
counting the negro votes cast for negro
candidates, even If thereby negroes be
put In office?
Has not Mr. Goodwin already shown
what they propose to do by his vote-for
the negro Murray in congress?
VIII some third party man please an
swer, so than both negroes and white men
may know what to expect.

SEVENTEEN STOOD UP.
Candidate Smith Went to Picnic With
Unsatisfactory Results.

Irondale, July 4.--SpeciaL)-We had
the pleasure of attending a Sunday
school picnic at New Hope church on
Cahaba river where Rev. Mr.. Haney of
Gate City made a nice Sunday school
address, which was much enjoyed by the
large crowd present. Mr.. Stamps of
Irondale made a nice talk on education
and schools, after which Mr.. w. III. A.
Smith, candidate for state senator, made
a political speech on the regular repub-
lican style-a perfect TRADE against de-
mocracy. He excused Mr.. Goodwyn's
vote for the negro by accusing Mr.. Oates
of helping Randolph to escape after he
had defaulted with the states money.
He spoke about one and a half hours
trying to make the voters present be-
lieve they ought to vote the republican
ticket. How he succeeded was shown
when the chairman asked all present for
the encouragement of Mr.. Smith that
would vote his ticket in August to rise to
their feet, and after he insisted he sue
ceeded in getting seventeen to get up
and say they would vote for him. There
were present about $50 voters. So you
can see how he stands in this part of old
Jefferson. The last 1 saw of Mr.. Smith
he had woe-begone look on his face,
and I don't think he has smiled yet.

A Happy Change.

Union Springs Herald.
Back in 1894 Bullock county sent in 292
votes for Captain Kolb, and that was a
reduction to what the populist party
had been. polling within our borders.
Since that a still happier change has
been going on here, and now almost ev-
cry one of those voters have come back
to the fold from whence they strayed,
and will this year give their votes and
support to the democratic candidate,
Captain Johnston. Such a happy change
this Is! Old Bullock standing almost SOL
Idly democratic, so far as her white vot-
ers are concerned. The people are to-
gether again and would 1t not be grand
thing for Alabama If the entire white
population of the state were so near
united politically as we in Bullock are?

Chldersburg, July 4.-(Special)- ITO
day is the 10th anniversary of American
independence.
Several days ago our next governor
gave us a. pop call and talk. The demo-
Gratis here are solid for Johnston. Quite
a number of conservative populites gave
him an audience, and appeared to be very
well pleased. l think the conservative
parI of that party is opposed to fusion.
That party here reminds me of quota
ton in Shakespeare in Macbeth" where
he says:
Elack spirits and white.
Blue spirits and gray,
Mingle, iningle, mingle,
You that mingle may.
But Bill Stevens won't mingle, but
agrees to be passive. Bill is sharp. He
knows that there are only two national
parties; he has aspirations and does not
want to be quoted in the future as In
favor of amalgamation with foreign
element. The party here do not feel kind
towards Goodwin on account OF his un-
savory Murray escapade. They may take
him, but it will be bitter pill.
1 feel as a candid, consistent man that
Johnston Is in touch with the people, and
he will on the 3rd day of August be the
choice of large majority of the people
of Alabama. So mote 1t be. feel that
Talladega county will give him a good
round majority, Notwithstanding our ne
gro vote is very nearly equal to the
whites, because fusion Is not popular
with either color.

MRS. JENNESS VENTER
Lectured Yesterday Afternoon at Music Hall
on Dress Reform

Lectureo Yesterday Afternoon al music naII
on Dress Reform
Mrs. Mabel Jenness Venter lectured yes
terday afternoon at Music hall under the
auspices of the Young Ladies' League, and
although the subject dvertised-Artistic
Dress and the Vugarisms We See in Soci-
ety-was one to attract women, only
small audience greeted the speaker. There
the afternoon, and Mrs. Venter fully dem
onstrated by her graceful movements the
salutary effects of a close attention to
physical culture, and illustrated her re-
marks with variety of exercises, perform
ing them with a tensity of muscle and a
grace that ELECTED much admiration.
The ladies were instructed how to stand,
walk, and the art OF sitting correctly. Mrs.
Nenter said she thought nine women out
of ten who suffered with backache caused
it by walking and standing with the body
out of line, and the feet being brought with
too much force to the ground, thus jarring
the spine, and by standing correctly the
prominence of shoulder blades would be
avoided. The motion for sitting or leaning
over should be used entirely from the hips,
not the waist; the latter was extremely
awkward.
The use of the decollete bodices for
afternoon wear was not advocated, and
was as inappropriate as for a man to APP
pear in evening dress at matinee functions.
Mrs. Venter donned six different gowns
during her discourse, the most practical
and jauntest of which was rainy day
dress. 1t was of dark, heavy material, the
bodice perfectly plain and bound with mar
row strips of black leather: the skirt just
missed the shoe tops, and heavy pair of
leggins completed the costume. All her
skirts hang from the shoulder by sleeve.
less waist The union .undergarments
were endorsed; with these divided skirt of
silk, or, for cold weather, woolen material
would be supplemented,an ,and pliable boned
waist composed the lingerie. With the
union suits hose should be worn snugly
enough to do away with supports. Mrs.
Venter wears square toed shoes with
medium heels; the latter, she said,
should be gauged by the persons
foot, as a heel too low would
often be as injurious as one too high. Mrs.
Venter does not approve Of the average
bicycle suit nor is she especially inclined
Goes not wear them, out of Difference to
her husband, who dislikes their use. The
vulgarisms of society was not touched
upon, except by slight suggestion of the
almost habitual practice of American
women sitting with one leg thrown over
:he other. This, she said, our English
cousins consider vulgar, and the untidinens
of dress about home was a "vulgarismn
the speaker thought should not be tolerat-
ed. Mrs. Venter is a tall, graceful woman
with pleasing face and dark, wavy hair,
which she wears brushed straight from off
her face and curled in loose knot at the
back of her head. She possesses a soft,
modulated voice and convinces one by the
steady, graceful poise of her body of the
efficacy of her theories.

TIE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER

James W. Warren

An Interesting Address by Superintendent
James W. Warren
James w. Warren, superintendent of
the Los Angeles Electric company, read
an interesting and instructive paper on
the discovery and evolution of the electric
transformer or converter, at the meeting
of the Engineers and Architects associa-
ton at the assembly room of the chamber
of commerce last evening. Mr.. Warren
traced the different forms of converter,
from the induction coil of Sir Michael Far
raday in 1881 to the perfected apparatus
of the present day, which transforms cur
rents of high potentiality to those of mod
crate voltage, and vice versa. He showed
how the whole system of electrical power
transmission az at present used depends to
great extent upon the use of the trans.
former, and how by it's means energy can
be intensified, sent long distances over
small wire at enormous pressure, and then
at the receiving station be again modified
to any degree.
The modern transformer is so perfect as
