VICTORY NUMBER ONE.

Our heart leaps for JOY as we realize
the brilliant victory achieved by the
democrats of Alabama last Monday.
johnson, the democratic candidate for
governor, was elected by nearly 1000
majority.
As compared to the election in 1894
the democrats have carried fifteen coun-
ties that gave populite maiorities two
years ago. The democratic majority in
them ranges from 100 to 1 900 each and i'll
many places populite majorities are re-
versed The democrats have not lost a
single county that went for Oates in
1894, but have increased their MAORI
ties in nearly all. Johnson's majority
will come near doubling that of Oates,
which was 27,5s2.
AS to the Legislature, the democrats
have gained, it is figured, fourteen
members of the house, giving them rs
out of 100. They have elected II out of
II senator's, which, with 10 hold-over
members, give them "a out of 80 mem
bers of that body, or about three-fourths
of the entire Legislature. This means,
in all probability, the reelection of
Senator Pugh, as the sentiment of the
legislature is strongly for silver.
Alabama's action Monday is but an
earnest of the record she will make in
November, when, with typical loyalty
to democracy, her people will rally to
the support Of Bryan.

esting bit of information concerning
the nominees past history:
"Two years ago gentleman from
New York sat III Bayans private office
here trying to get him to make q con-
tract to deliver so lectures at 500 a
lecture. Bryan was poor then, as he is
now, and | urged him to accept the
offer, but he would hardly listen to the
man. He said he would not speak for
money. He was not in politics for
himself, but for the people, and he did
not expect to make anything for him
self. He said he would not take any
thing but his expenses. why, he re-
marked, 1T is necessary that those who
can should give their lives to the work
of emancipating the people. Somebody
has got to do this, and | have made up
my mind to enter into it heart and soul,
but not for my benefit He didn't sign
the contract. When he was in congress
he was offered $40, 900 year to become
the counsel of large corporation, but
he told the officers he would notact as
their attorney for the entire profits Of
the concern.
Who can but admire such evidence o.
unselfshness and love the man for hil
truth and honesty?
