Congressman Bailey of Texas, who will
address the people of Birmingham next
Friday night, is one Of the youngest,
ablest and most eloquent members of the
present congress. His speech in the
house of representatives on the financial
question last spring was one of the most
learned and exhaustive of the session.
When the campaign was on for the elec-
ton of delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton Mr. Bailey canvassed Kentucky and
Virginia. and did much toward carrying
those states for true democracy. He has
been for the past few weeks campaign
ing in the central western states and has
met with an enthusiastic reception every
where. A genuine feast is in store for
those who hear him next Friday evening.

STATES THAT REQUIRE A SECRET
BALLOT.

One fortunate thing for the people in
the present contest is that nearly every
state in the union has adopted the secret
ballot system. With different modifica-
lions the following states have adopted
the Australian ballot law: Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas Kentucky. Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,. Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Mon
tana Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah. Vermont, Vir-
ginla, Washington, West Virginia, Wis
consin, Wyoming. 1t will be seen that in
every state where the contest is close the
secret ballot prevails. If it were possible
to organize the floating vote into blocks
of five, as Dudley organized them in In
diana few years ago. the influence of
Hanna's corruption fund would be felt a
great deal more in this contest than 1t
will be as conditions are now. Corpora
lions can force their employees to wear
Mckinley buttons and march in McKin-
ley professions, but they cannot stand at
the polls and see that they vote for Nc
Kinley, as they once could. The secret
ballot will cut great figure this year.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Mr.. John II. Tanners Advice.

Athens, Ala, Oct. 10, 1896.
To the State Hereald:
l regret that the prohibition party has
placed an electoral ticket in the field. 1t
can not possibly be of any good to Mr..
lowering, as the votes for him will not be
counted, and may do a vast amount of
harm to Mr.. Bryan by aiding in the cleo
ton of Mr. Mckinley, which every pro-
hibitionist should endeavor to prevent as
his election would be the greatest calam-
ity that ever happened to the people of
the United States.
l am daily asked for my opinion as to
what Is best to do with cotton. My ad-
vice is to sell at once. In the event of
McKinley's election think cents would
be the highest price during his term of
Office, and possibly much lower. | have
seen middlirg cotton sell in New Orleans
for cents to Az cents, and the lower
grades not pay the expenses of shipment,
and with a continuation of the Cleveland
dynasty four years longer the same stag
nation and ruin in all kinds of business
will prevail
With the election of Mr.. BRYAN there is
every hope of a brighter day than has
ever dawned on the American people. and
IL Is the Christian duty of every good citi-
zen TO remove every obstruction that in
any way 1mpedes his triumphal election.
II re is the next best man for the prohibit
tionists to vote for
Some of my friends nav call mo a "ho1

mckinley or ever lend my influence that

guage used by him in Chicago few days
since relative to the Mckinley Aid socie-
tys candidates for president and vice
president Said the redoubtable Robert:
Brother Palmer is a kind of decoy
duck while his running mate is stool
pigeon, and they say, We want to beat
Bryan; vote for us And some fellow in
the crowd says, DO you expect to be
elected" Oh no; we are just running
to catch the votes of democrats who have
not sense enough to vote according to
their own judgment, according to their
conscience We want to catch few pet
rifactions that want to stick to the dem
ocnatie party so as to have it on their
tombstones.' Why? Do you expect to be
electedY No Then of course you want
Mckinley elected?' And poor old Palmer
will have to say Yes and then the man
in the crowd will say, Why the devil
don't you vote for him them"
Colonel Ingersoll has long been de-
nounced as a knave, a heather and many
other bad things, and no doubt deserved
more reprobation than he has received;
but he has never been accredited with
any standing as a fool. There IS strong
evidence that he has rightly sized up the
nominees of the Indianapolis conclaye of
political cadaverers and clearly defined
their purpose and mission.
