&zs .aazaH - 45ek V - party. We are free to admit, for it is true, and the truth we fear not and will always be found ready to admit it on all occasions and under all circumstances, that this Is the first time in the history of the democratic party that it has fn- serted a plain unequivocal declaration for free silver coinage at 16 to 1 in its platform. Such being true, all men who have in the past been members of the democratic party who honestly believe that free coinage would be unwse will have perfect right to say on the even ing of the first Tuesday in November, after the polls have been closed, that \ they are no longer democrats and for ever thereafter refuse, if they see proper, to affiliate with the party. They can pur- sue that course if they choose without violating any moral obligation. True, they will have no right to say that it is not principle adhered to by the demo- cratic party as true democracy, because the party has said to the contrary, and they will have no right to dispute it.
 But until after the November election every man who participated in the pri- mary election is as strongly bound
 
 as if he had gone before an authorized officer and sworn to do so. The mere taking of an oath before a qualified ofh- cer does not make honorable men tell the truth. Indeed the system of requir- ing men to make oaths was not adopted with the view to making honorable men tell the truth, but to deter dshonorable men from telling falsehoods. An honor- able mans word is as good as his oath.
 These are plain every day facts, known to all men who think, and no man can successfully refute them. Such being the facts, how can any man who voted in the primary election be heard to complain if he now refuses to support the ticket, state and national, and the world says he is man you cannot trust? He has violated his word of honor. He went into a contest-an arbitration if you please with his fellow democrats, failed to get a verdict in keeping with his way of think ing and then acted dishonorably by ap- pealing from it.
 Men who talk about bolting now should consider we'll the consequences before they act They may act in haste and have to repent at leisure. They may do something that will lower themselves in their own estimation. That is what violation of honor is sure to do, and it always weighs very heavy upon the man who is guilty of it. The world may pass it by, but your own conscience never

IN MARION COUNTY. A Good Crowd and Splendid Speeches at
 Bear Creek

Bear Creek, July 22.-(Special Corre- spondence.)- was gala day for the democracy of Marion. Early this morn ing democrats, populites and republicans began to gather at Goddarl's to hear the cause of democracy discussed by the county candidates, Colonel Bullock of Russeiiville and Col Joseph H. Mont gomery of Birmingham. Nearly 300 voters and a good sprinkling of ladies gave close attention to Colonel Mont gomery, who opened the discussion, while he described the legislation upon the finances of the country and showed the disastrous consequences resulting to the whole people by the act striking silver from its rightful place as a basic money. He showed plainly how impossible it is for any party to maintain the single gold standard without issuing bonds He said that when the policy was established by the Harrison administration of paying all coin obligations in gold, the notion took on all the paraphernalia and dress of the single gold standard system. His speech was we'll received by our people.
 After several of the county candidates Lunsford, for the legislature, presented his claim. Hebased his claim or argu- ment upon the one idea that he was able
Birmingham state herald., 1896-07-24
to abuse democrats without rhyme or

to dDuSe ueHlOcTdlS WllHOuI Iuy lllS LII reason therefor.
 w. c. Davis, the legislative candidate for the cause of democracy, took up poor Lunsford, and what he gave him was good and plenty." All the people say that MT. Davis has made the best repre- sentative Marion has had in years, and that he will beat LunSfordSso badly that he won't know whether he is republi- can or populite when the election is over.
 That gallant and brave young com moner, w. I. Bullock, closed the debate in a masterful presentation of the finan- cial question. MT. Bullock enjoys the highest esteem and confidence of all our people. No man could have held the close attention of the crowd as did the speaker when, for more than two honrs, he traced the history of both the old par ties, compared their usefulness and show ed that democracy was the people and republicanism stood for the classes. As he traced the history of gold and silver from the earlier days down to now, showing that the legislation against sil- yer and in favor of gold was done to con- trol the volume of money, thereby mak- ing money dear and products cheap he certainly made sledge hammer blows for the cause of the people.
 Under these speeches the stock of de- mocracy advanced several points in this county, and you can put Marion in the democratic column with an increased majority over the election of 1894.

UNANSwERABLE ARGUMENTATIVE E
 DEDUCTIONS

It is only a question Of time when the advocates of the gold standard will have convinced the silver adherents that the former are right and the latter therefore necessarily wrong. The gold advocates are getting down to arguments in dead earnest. The late Judge Bradley of the United States supreme court had not heard all that could be said on the ques- ton when he remarked that he had nev- CT heard an argument against silver coinage, because no such arguments real ly existed.
 If the lamented and wise judge were alive today he would have to withdraw that assertion-especially after hearing the following from Prof Andrew White who was the first president of Cornell university The professor says the ad- vocates of free coinage are anarchists" "a wild mob," wild combina ton of Jack Cade elements,' a mob of unreason, plunder and violence. They are, says the enlightened and argumentative Pro- lessor White, in favor of "despotism," |" "confscation," free riots" ruin, dis tress and dishonesty, national bank ruptcy" and many other outrageous and disreputable policies. Of course, Justice Bradley would could he have read after Professor White, not have said that there were in existence no arguments against free coinage.
 Then we are told by Harpers Weekly that the policy of restoring silver to it's constitutional rights at the hints of the government is selfish and ignorant, dis honest and reyolting." Of the same poli- cy the New York Sun says: It is "a robber goods trick" Hundreds of other emil nent orators logical reasoners and able editors make no bones at hurling such knock-down, logical deductions as the following in the faces of the benighted advocates of free coinage. It is "repudia- tion," communism and anarchy" fool hardy and bastard leadership" fiat ism,' "convulsion of frenzy" dishonest ratio," revolutionary" and miserable farce"
 It can hardly be expected that any cause can long withstand such unan- swerable arguments as the above. They are only a sample of the kind that are now brought into use by the speakers, professors and newspapers that are seek ing to everlastingly bury the silver craze.
 Judge Bradley and all others who died in the belief that in reality there were no arguments to be used against silver in existence, were they alive to- day, would see wherein they had been laborng under a false impression

It is noticeable that the heretofore democratic nespapers which have bolted the national democratic party in pub- fishing specials and clippings from spe- cials to other papers from St. Louis take particular care to avoid saying anything about the part Hanna's barrel is playing up there.

PASfEP0T PERSIFLAGE.

The Guntersville Democrat man evi- dently disllkes to write letters, as he uses his local columns for communications which seem to be private rather than public. However, as they are like half of telephone conversation. intelligible enough to whet curiosity, his readers doubtless enjoy puzzling over them. Here is a paragraph, however, which is plain as day:
 Ben D. Abney of Martling sold sev- enty-five fine melons one day this week. His big wagon is drawn by two fat brown bulls, which appear as easily controlled as oxen.
 It doesn't require much exercise of the imagina ton to picture the large, luscious melon left by the sanctum door and the enthusiasm with which the editor sets to writing up not only Ben. but his brown bulls. In another place the Dem ocrat says:
 James Culbert of Mid reported while here on the 18th that very little of the bottom corn was injured by the high wa ter of last week.
 The Albertville Journal has a warm corner in it's heart for the men who wore the gray, as this personal will show:
 Warren McMilan, a cne-legged, ex- Confederate soldier of Madison county, honored the Journal office with a call a few days since.
 None of us appreciates the Confederate soldier as we should. We rub elbows with him in careless way, never realiz- ing that he is an immortal. Fifty years hence we shall be envied for the privilege we enjoy of association with men who bore the bravest part in the most mo- mentous epoch of modern history. Further down the column the Journal prints:
 It made one feel good to look over that vast audience of Sunday school workers here on the 17th.
