mocracy succeeded in polling a tolerably large vote. Some few people have come to the conclusion that the following de- veloped by Kolb in his bolting effort to become governor really represents the opposition to the democratic party in Alabama, but such is not the case. Kolb, 1t will be remembered, claimed all the time to be a democrat. and thou sands and thousands of men voted for him because they really believed that he was a democrat. The mask Is at last off, and the people can and do see that there is no democratic party in Ala bama save the party whose ticket is headed this year by the Hon. Joseph F. Johnston.
 The cry that i've are the true and only democrats, and represent only the white people" cannot be made this year by Goodwin and his ticket. There are three genuine, died-in-the-Woo1, old-time, life long republicans on the Goodwin ticket, and the other four men on the ticket are four of the few thousand men in this state that Kolb's bolt has succeeded in making republicans of. Goodwin and the other three men on the ticket headed by him are just as sound republicans today as are the three lifelong re- publicans who are on the ticket. They are just as completely in the con- trol of the old-time republican lead CTS as are Tom Grimmett, w. H. Smith, Jr., and Bingham. The platform they offer the people is a republican plat form. It declares for protection, abuses democrats and democratic principles, and is silent on the great financial ques- ton, because one plank in the platform declares for free coinage, while another plank in the same platform declares for the single gold standard. Of course, it was hoped by the manipulating leaders that these two separate deelara tions in the same platform would catch the un- suspecting voter going and coming They never for once thought of giving the peo- pie credit for having sense enough to see that the two declarations taken to- gether as they were taken by the con ventions at Montgomery don't stand for anything at all.
 A party that stands for the principle which taxes the bread winners of this country in order that owners of money invested in manufacturing enterprises may declare semi-annual dividends on Watered stock can't win in Alabama. Neither can set of men who are re- quired to sit up until l o'clock in the morning to get their running mates and their orders to go from a convention pre- sided over by negro and composed of negroes win out In this state. Alabama is democratic state, and a republican ticket will not go. in this good year of our Lord, 1896. The coachers of the ticket may hoot at the idea of calling the Goodwin ticket straight republican ticket but it will do no good. It's a re- publican ticket pure and simple all the same, and the people know it. The demo- crats of Alabama will snow 1t under in August.
