A SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE.

1t did not require careful observer
to discern from the crowd that was pres
ent and the reports which were made at
the conference of democrats here yes
terday that the democratic party in Ala
bama is in better condition today than 1t
has been since 1890. The very fact that
such large number of representative
democrats gathered here upon q simple
invitation to meet here in an ordinary
conference is of itself proof incontrovert-
ible of the interest the people are TAX
ing in the campaign. No one could lis
ten to the reports that were made upon
the call of the roll of counties and not
feel and fully realize that once more in
Alabama the grand old party is united.
For the first time since 1890 have demo-
Gratis been authorized to feel absolutely
confident of an old time democratic ma
jorty
There are but very few counties in the
state that will not roll up majorities for
Bryan and Sewall in November, and the
most of them handsome majorities.
We have known all the time that the
bolt organized in the state after the
Chicago convention was small affair
and could not possibly amount to any
thing, but not until yesterday did we
fully realize just how utterly insignii-
cant the thing is We had thought that
possibly the Palmer ticket would poll
5000 votes in the state, but we have been
overestimating them. From the reports
made here yesterday, and they were
made by men whose word cannot be
doubted, the "stiffs' will not poll $500
votes all told in the state. Really it
does not rise to the dignity of a bolt. 1t
is confined absolutely to few defeated
aspirants, ex-offlceholders, sore heads
and corporation attorneys, and has no fol-
lowing whatever
The conference was in every way a
success. 1t will result in much good to
the party.

| the constitution, both gold and silver,
| free, unlimited and without discrimina-
ton against either metal. The repub-
licans in these pivotal and decisive states
are those who have to shift and reverse
their positions in the very heat of battle;
and they are there exposed to the dan
gers and losses of this movement, which
has to be made under the eye of power
full and vigilant foe.
In Maine and Vermont both the repub-
licans had the absolute exclusive control
of the election machinery, and could
count up to any vote they might desire.
What would it cost the party of great
moral infamies, if it were thought ex-
pedient, to figure 10000 or 10000 more of
plurality in 1896, when it stole three
states and the presidency to boot, with
out at all straining it's conscience, in 1876?
An exploit OF this sort, which might be
impossible or dangerous anywhere out
side of New England, would be only
pastime in the recesses of the Green
mountains or among the pine forests of
Maine. The elections in these two states
signify that they are now as they have
been for fifty years, heavily anti-demo-
cratic and that they will probably so
remain; that there is still left in them
large remnant of democracy, true as
steel, and who will so remain, no matter
what comes; that the Hannarchistc
apostates there are not worth counting.
and that the conditions in these eastern
creditor and money-lending states are
so utterly foreign and opposite to those
in the great political battlefield of the
borrowing and debtor states of the west,
where the issue is certain to be decided,
that we may nationally prognosticate trl-
umph there and in the general result
even from the unfavorable results in New
England.

The speaking stand was aglow with cleo

played in big electric letters over the
place where the democratic candidate
stood. AT each corner of the square big
bonfires burned, and they threw the big
crowd into picturesque relief. Cheer

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

''No people, in great emergency,
ever found a faithful ally in gold 1t
is the most cowardly and treacherous
of all metals. 1t makes no treaty
that it does not break, it has no friend
it does not betray. Armies and ma
vies are not maintained by gold. In
times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the
agency and minister of ruin. No ma
ton ever fought a great war by the
aid of gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of the great peril it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in
the field, but when the battle has
been won and peace secured, gold
reappears and claims the fruits of

RAILROAD Dis IN POLITICS.

Some of the railroad corporations are
proceeding in this campaign on the pre-
sumption that the people are just as easy
to fool this year as they ever WERE But
they are mistaken. Not all the people
are deceived this year. Those who are
not enlightened are going to be in a most
interesting manner. Once edited as to
their powers something will be heard to
drop that will cause the corporation
bosses to see a million revolutionary
stars
Just read the following resolution
passed by the democratic convention of
Laclede county, Missouri:
We view with alarm the constant in
crease in the purchasing power of money
and the corresponding decline in the
continued, will destroy the independence
ana dignity of the American farmer
There is no hope for a change, except by
the restora ton of the free coinage of sill
Yer ana consequent increase in the.
volume OF standard money. Unless such
las,isla ton can be secured as result of
the approaching election a just regard
for the rights of the many demands the
ena .tment OF state laws reducing by at
leasi % pen cent oil fixed charges which
the people must pay including rate of
interest salaries and transportation
charges ana our nominee for represi nta-
tive is Instructed accordingly
The people have right to do just
what is contemplated in the Laclede res
olutions and more, too. 1t Is a very thin
crust between the feet of the railroad
bosses and the volcano of vox populi.

The British gold standard people ex-

when their ally, President Cleveland de-
clared himself on the issue. But it is just
as If the letter that they longed for never
came. The tide of the peoples uprising

structive alien financial policy sweeps on

to engulf such heavy stiffs as were en-
balmed at Indianapolis.

THEY MosTHAvE BEEN CON VERIFIED

1t is claimed in some quarters that the
people who turn out to hear Bryan speak
do so from curiosity. The same people
who make that claim did up to, and have
ever since, the meeting of the Chicago
convention proclaimed that there was no
silver sentiment in New York state. If
the people go to hear Bryan simply from
curiosity and there was really no silver
sentiment in New York before Bryan
was nominated, what difference does 1t
make whether those who went to hear
him speak in New York went from Curl
csity or not. so long as they went away
from the speakipgs whooping for Bryan
and silver. Unless the goldbug press
msrepresented the sentiment of the peo-
pie in New York before the Chicago con-
vention met Bryan's New York speeches
to the curious have had a wonderful ef-
feet. AS an evidence of this we cite the
fact that yesterday the democratic state
conve ntion of New York unanimously in
dorsed Bryan and Sewall aud every
plank In the democratic platform.

Commend of senntors.

WASHINGTON, Dee. S.-Comment in the
senate on the message were generally ia
|yorable to the tenor of the message on the
lCuban question, though there were some
Opposing views expressed There were
large number Of senators, including mem
ers Cf the committee on foreign relations
who excused themselves from expressing
pinions on the ground that they had not
gwen it careful reading.
Mr. Morgan Dem) of Alabama-In the
presidents recital Of facts and his state
1aent Of the moral duties of the United
s.sste, toward the Cuban belligerents there
IS "a response to the sentiment of the peo-
pie and, believe, Of the senate. Inassert-
ing that no other nation must interfere in
he affairs of Cuba, there is the most de-
cisiye and practical declaration of the
Monroe doctrine that has yet been made.
But while the present government warns
eff all other nations the message calls the
great civil war an insurrection. and on
this false declaration it iustihes active aid
to Spain in furnishing all kinds OF mill
tary munitions while it refuses our people
the right to send anything, even bread or
medicines, to the insurgents. / regret
that this national action is so illogical and
unjust and that it must still cost many
lives and terrible suffering to a people
who are admitted by the message to be
at war for the sake Of liberty and not as a
means Of gaining power for personal
ends
Mr.. Tillman Dem. of South Carolina
Tt is commonplace After promising not
to so into details, he goes in rather elab-
orately The best thing about it is that it
is the last we will have from that source,
at least the last message
Mr. Hawley (Rep) Of Connecticut-I
have no fault to find with the president 5
treatment of the Cuban question. The
message is as a whole devoid OF sensational
features and is dignifled in tone
Mr. Cullom (Rep. of Illinois-The story
is well enough as far as it goes, but it does
not come out anywhere The message is
in nowise a startling document.
Mr.. Frye (Rep) of Maine-It is, upon
the whole, a commonplace document. On
the Cuban question the president appears
60 me to argue both sides with equal SYM
pathy.
Mr: Can dem. of Florida-The mes
slge lalls to touch upon the real point in
the Oupan question, as TO whether the in
delonaence OF the island should be recog-
mlzed. am opposed to his autonomy
scheme, which was tried 16 years ago and
failed
Mr. Mitchell (Rep) Of Oregon-The
message leaves the Cuban question as he
finds it, refraining from any recommenda-
tion as to congressional action.
Mr.. Villas dem } of Wisconsin-It is a
dignitied presentation of the oountrv,s !
affairs, but in that respect was certainly
nothing more than what was to be exnect-
ed The review OF the situation In Cuba
Is safe and conservative and Interesting
II goes as far as this country could be ex-
pected To go at the present time.
Mr.. Hale rep of Maine-It is n fair

cially on the Cuban question There m
