HERBERT AT TROY.

Announces He Will Vote for Palmer and
 and Buckner and Tom Clark.
 Troy, Oct. 29.-(SpeciaL)-EIon Hilary A. Herbert spoke at the court house here today. good audience greeted him. Scott Sayre of Montgomery made short speech ahead of Colonel Herbert
 Colonel Herbert was introduced by Judge B. w. Starke, who said he had been a democrat all his life.
 The speech of Colonel Herbert claimed that the invention of machinery had had a tendency to reduce prices, and then SUD- ply and demand had something to do with it, but that the price of silver and gold had nothing to do with 1t. He was sorry that silver was demonetized, and said that he voted twice for free silver, but de- cided that was wrong, and changed his mind later. He stated that consumption had already overtaken production, and but for the fact that we have this silver agitation we would have good times. Oth- CT countries are prospering. But the most vital issue of the campaign is not silver, he contended. The alliance formed by the Chicago convention and the populites has resulted in a platform of the most dan gerous kind. It denies the right of the chief executive to enforce the laws of the United States. 'I am an old-fashioned democrat, and expect to vote for Palmer and Buckner and that gallant Tom Clark" he said in conclusion.

A drummer received a letter from his house the other day stating that in case Bryan is elected the business of the coun- try will become demoralized, and, to pre- pare for this emergency, the firm had de- cided to call off the road all of it's travel ing men in case of Bryans election. The drummer replied, stating that if the elec- ton of MT. Bryan meant that he would lose his job, he was happy to state that if such good luck as that should befall the country he wouldn't need the job However, if Mckinley Is elected, and his services are still desired, he would be glad to remain with the house; but if Bryan is elected to please accept his resignation as he wished to enter business for him. self

We are satisfied that Gen. C.. F. Harri- son forgot to tell his hearers in his speech at the opera house that he was one of the three delegates to the democratic conven- ton in Chicago in 1892 who refused to cast their votes to make Clevelands nomina- ton unanimous General Harrison said on his return from the convention that the reason he refused to vote to make Cleveland's nomination unanimous and voted for the Hon. Horace Boies of Iowa was because he did not think Cleveland favored free coinage of gold and silver.

MIR. HERBERT THEN AND NOW.


 The presence of the Hon. H. A. Herbert in Alabama just at this time. togather with the announcement that he is here to speak against and do what he can to de- feat a nominee of the democratic party for congress, adds interest to the follow ing letter, which MT. Herbert wrote to MT. Ben Lee Allen of Athens, Ala, about a year ago:
 Navy Department,
 Washington, Sept 13, 1895. My Dear MT. Allen: I regret very much to see from yours of the 7th instant that you and 1 do not agree upon the silver question. We are, as you say, however, fellow democrats, and hope we will get together when the national convention meets and declares itself. If we can nom- mate sound money candidate on sound money platform, I see no reason why the democracy should not win next year. In my opinion there is no possible hope of success for the democracy if it advocates free silver at 16 to 1 by the separate action of the United States, as am very sure it will not do in the national convention. hope our people who differ in opinions on this subject will leave off all acrimonious imputations against each other and leave it to the national conven- tion to decide what the platform Of the party shall do.
 Thanking you for your kind expressions about myself, am, very sincerely yours,
 H. A. HERBERT. Ben Lee Allen, Athens, Ala.
 It will be observed that in September, 1895, the honorable secretary of the navy had no idea that the national democratic convention would repudiate Clevelandism and stand by the true principles of de- mocracy. At that time the secretary was very much in hopes that the people would leave to the national convention of the party the duty of settling what the party would stand for on the financial question. He was ready then to abide the action of the party. Why? Because he was sure

General Harrison is good dodger. The general-with all his vehemence to con- vince his audience here that he is a demo- crat, and that the State Herald has en- deavored to accuse him of party mis- comings-never once referred to the charges against him. really made by this paper The only charges made were:
 l. He is not democrat, because he has bolted his party, and being elected to congress by the democrats of his district it is his duty to resign his office to those who gave 1t to him.
 ?. That when he aspired for the nomi- nation and election to congress from the Third district in 1894, he did so as an ad- vocate of bimetallism, and had his con stituents believed he favored the gold standard he would not have received the nomination.
 3.That he would not pose for re-elec-. tion because he well knew, as gold standard advocate. he could not carry county In his district, and the little city in which he lives would repudiate him at the ballot box.
 These are the main charges the State Herald has made against General Harri- son, which were too true to life for an at tempt to refute, and the general was careful not to refer to them.
