HAUNTING FACTS.

While the people are discussing the mode and manner of securing offices for candidates it should not be forgotten that the people themselves have interests that should not be overlooked. The city of Birmingham has suffered from inferior water, but the price paid is said to ex- ceed that paid in any other city with which Birmingham is surrounded. It yet remains green in the minds of the people that the majestic Caldwell hotel which stood as monument to the thrift and enterprise of the city, might today be standing had it been possible to ob- tain the water with which to stop the flames. Reasons, of course, have been given why the water did not flow on that memorable night, yet people to this day hang their heads in silence when ap- preached as to the real cause. Reasons not clear are seldom convincing, and often live to haunt when the real facts are brought out.

BRYAN,s LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

MT. Bryan's letter of acceptance print ed today only evinces again the true in- tuition of a man who knows the right and dares to uphold it. When the circumstances under which this letter was prepared is taken into consideration, it is the most remarkable paper that has ever been given to- the public.
 For more than a month MT. Bryan has been constantly on the stump and in the very hot-bed of the opposition to the principles and inc party he represents, speaking to crowds which at times were of such magnitude that he was forced to segment his speeches in order to accom- modate his audiences, many of whom if it had been otherwise, would have been unable to have heard 8 syllable uttered. With this strain on his physical-and men tai manhood, so prolific have been his utterances that the press and the people have feasted upon new thoughts from his every appearance before the public. While his voice has at times weakened under the strain, his active mind seemed to grasp grander thoughts and linked them together in a manner that has in- spired his supporters from one end of the continent to the other, and his opponents have quailed before his logic and his enemies made to hide their faces at his rebuke.
 With e character stainless and honor unimpugned, a record unimpeachable. a towering intellect, patriotism that bears the imprint of the shade of the rev olutonary fathers and an oratory that made Rome famous and lent luster to civilization fhe young leader of democra- cy has stalked twice from the slopes to the Atlanta and returned, receiving the plaudits of friend and foe alike. Notwithstanding his opponents have camped necessarily upon his trail, leav- ing not a moment for refreshments or sleep, watching for one weak spot in his armor to thrust a poisonous spear, no scar appears upon his shield.
 That the democracy has chosen wisely in making William Jennings Bryan their leader his letter of acceptance at his home in Lincoln yesterday seals. Prepared, as it was, under greater diff faculties and strain than any similar pa- per ever writer, 1t reads like inspira- tion and rings with a clearness that be- tokens true statesmanship and unsullied patriotism. Every subject is handled in a majestic manner, every important question involving the campaign is touched and covered, and not one word of censure or adverse criticism can honestly be made.

WHY ORGANIZED LABOR SHOULD SUEPORT MIR BRYAN

It is a well-known fact that the trade and labor journals in the union that rep resent the views and convictions of or ganized labor are supporting Bryan and Sewall with wonderful unanimity. and that the representatives of labor in the peoples party convention voted to in- dorse the democratic nominee. This in itself shows that organized labor in the aggregate will be found this year up- holding the rights of the great masses of the people against the encroachments and exactiohs of the plutocratic classes
 The New York Journal sums up the positive reasons why organized labor should support Mir. Bryan as follows:
 "He is a man ofsthe people, wholly free from dangerous alliance with corpora tions and trusts, and of so sturdy char acter that the influences which have ruined the democracy of Grover Cleye- land will be without effect upon him. The platform upon which he stands con- demns the increase in government debt, which in the end must be paid by pro- ducers; declares for arbitration in labor disputes; demands an income tax by which the rich shall be forced to bear their share of the burden of govern ment; asserts that, the government shall control the railroads, not the railroads the government; denounces the blanket injunction practice, and insists on the right of trial by jury in cases of con tempt These are all resolutions ad- dressed especially to the workingman. while the one which calls for the free coinage of silver. though addressed to the country at large, should appeal fa- vorably to every man who. understands that rising markets means business &C., tivity, more opportunities for employ ment fewer idle men to bid for places and a healthy increase in wages"
 And then adds this further, and per haps stronger, special reason why the ticket nominated by the Chicago conven- tion should receive the ardent and united support of all wage earners in the coun- try:
 This year, as never before, the work ingmen of the nation have an opportuni- ty to vote for ticket which represents them and against one which represents Hanna of Spring Valley and Seamen's union fame, Carnegie of Homestead, Pullman of the model town, and all the railroad corpora tions from Sandy Hook to the Golden Gate that have ever fought justifable strike or blacklisted for life it's leaders"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-10

The manly act of MT. M. Veil in tender ing his resignation as a member of the city democratic executive committee has been highly complimented by members of all parties and factions. MT. Well is outspoken in his opposition to Bryan and Sewall, the democratic nominees for president and vice president, and no doubt perceived the inconsistency in holding such views and acting officially with party with whom he does not agree. This way of holering to the dogs and running with the hare at one and the same time has worn threadbare and the people have tired of it.

Approves the Position.

Birmingham, Sept. 9. To the State Herald:
 l noticed with approval what you had to say in this mornings issue concerning the water we are getting.
 There is no reasonable reason why we should not have clearer water. Why not adopt the plan they have in Nashville ? It is my understanding that the water that goes into the reservoirs there is first filtered.
 Taking into consideration the rate the citizens here pay for their water it seems to me that these filters could be put in at small cost to the water works company, and they would not feel the loss. I can make no attempt to describe these filters, but no doubt the Birmingham Water Works company know all about them. I should also like to know for what the city collects the street tax that is, if any considerable amount of it goes on the streets.
 I am very much interested in Birming- ham, and think good water and good streets would materially help the city. I have frequently noticed that the State Herald is the paper that advocates and champions reforms and progress, and wish it success in it's good work

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON COLD.

"No people, in great emergency, ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break, 1t has no friend it does not betray. Armies and na- Vies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin. No na- tion ever fought great war by the aid of gold, On the contrary in the crisis of the great peril it becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field. but when the battle has been won and peace secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of NictDrN.'

WILL MEET TONIGHT.
City Democratic Executive Committee To Con. vene On Call of a Majority of the
 Committee.

The city democratic executive commit tee will hold a called meeting. tonight. The meeting is called by Chairman John H. Miller at the request of majority of the committeeman.
 It is understood that the meeting will be held to reconsider the plan for select ing candidates adopted at the recent meeting of the committee.
 AS is well known the plan, in so far as the mayoralty part of it is concerned has been criticised by 8 great many and seems to be bone of contention. Many democrats express themselves in favor of straight primary, while others say the nominee in straight primary will suffer the same fate that Nominee Warnock did two years ago.
 It is expected that large crowd will be present at tonight's meeting.

The political history of General Palmer. the Hannacrat presidential nominee. con- csely stated, is He was originally a democrat, and was elected to the Illinois legislature as such; was an independent in 1854; republican elector in 1860; a democrat in 1876; was elected United States senator in 1890 by populist vote, and in 1896 is boltng Hannacrat nomi- nee for president. He has been a protec- tionist and a free trader, a bimetallist and a goldbug. It is useless to say Gen eral Palmer is getting old and the Lord has never chasteneth him as one of his people.

For County Treasurer

John r. Cook is a candidate for the Office
of County Treasurer, and his announce
ment card will be found in another column
of this weeks issue. Mr.. Cook has been q
resident here for the past seven years, and
is member of the present Board of County
Commissioners, in which capacity he is rec
ognized as being one of the countys most
careful and earnest officers. His reputation
is above reprcach, and if elected he will ex-
perience no difficulty in filing the rather
large bond required OF the treasurer. He is
member Of the Silver party, but recogniz-
ing the fact that party lines will count for
but little this fall on local matters. he comes
before the voters of the county as such,
pledged only to clean, honest and careful
handling of the county's funds. The pay at
tached to this Office is not sufficient to
justify man in leaving any other section of
the county in order to reside here, as the
law requires, and 50 it is that Phoebe furn-
ishes the candidates for this particular
Office.
