DEFEATED CANDIDATES AND SORE-
 HEADED LEADERS, TICKET.

For the first time since 1892 the people the plain people-who joined in the movement to obtain financial and indus trial reform outside the democratic par ty have the chance to weigh the earnest ness of those who have set themselves up as leaders.
 The time has come when the opportuni- ty to obtain relief presents itself. The democratic party-the only party through which it has ever been possible for the people to right their wrongs this year presents a platform and upon it nominees entirely satisfactory to the peo- pie. If that party succeeds the financial and industrial freedom the masses are seeking will come, but the leaders of the populite party are unwilling to join in the contest and help to bring about suc- cess. They are today standing in the way of success. What excuse do they of fer Tor thus betraying the people they profess to represent? Our party must be preserved" they exclaim. The men who advised former democrats to aban- don their party and strike for reform now say stick to party and abandon re- form. The men who told the people but yesterday, as it were, that they had al- ready stood by their party until ruin had overtaken them now admit that the suc- cess of Bryan, the democratic nominee, means financial and industrial relief, but refuse to join in the effort to elect him, and are seeking to lead the people they would have follow them in the opposite direction to that in which they must go to obtain relief. In the hope of rema in- ing leaders they are willing to sacrifice the very best interests of their former followers. They have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The rank and file of the populite party will vote for Bryan and Sewall and not throw their votes away on any other ticket They will do now what these same lead CTS urged them to do early in this year. last year and the year before-let party go and vote for relief. The ticket put out here yesterday will not command the support of those who have done the voting for the populite party, but asked for no office. The support that goes to the Watson ticket will be the vote of the defeated candidates and the soreheaded leaders.

On motion of MT Coleman of Marshall the nomination of MT. Howard was made unanimous.
 On motion the chair appointed a com mittee consisting of Turner of St. Clair, W. w. Kidd of Marshall and M. w. Me- Mutt of DeKalb to invite MT. Howard to appear before the convention.
 On motion MT. McHan and MT. Gather were also invited to address the conven- ton.
 Howard's d's Speech.
 MT. Howard was received with ap- plause on entering the hall. He said he could not find words to express his feel ings. He was thankful from the very bottom of his heart that his party had seen fit to again make him its standard bearer. He was proud to have his &C., tion indorsed and promised in the future, as in the past, to do his duty and uphold the banner of his party and never let it trail in the dust. He said the populists had held out the olive branch to the de- mocracy. They had taken the first step for unity between the south and the west and for the burial of national strife His party had reached crisis in its his tory. He had seen in the shadow of the palaces the home of the pauper and those who toll in mills, mines and factories who work for beggarly pittance' to sus- tain this wealth.
 There never was any reform brought out Uy dH olu party or Dy an ola church. For years the democratic party of the south had been leagued with the north and never made an effort to bid defiance to the east until the populists began this movement of reform by uniting with the west. His reference to MT. Bryan as the young leader of the west was greeted with loud applause.
 He said the democrats of the south had been delivering it's 160 electoral votes to the democracy of the north and east for thirty years and had never received any recognition. This people have been sit- ting in the land of mourning and wishing long enough. The populist party thinks so, the republicans of the west think so, and the cry of the reformers Is to rec ognize the south in the sisterhood of states.
 The speaker said that if the democratic party would take down Sewall and in dorse Watson 100000 voters who have not bowed the knee to Baal will vote solidly for the ticket.
 ''This is fight that should bestir pa- trlotism and principles above party. It is fight for home and country, for meat and bread and to educate our children, and to plant cur homes, our farms and vineyards.

 The only reason we are divided today IS that the would-be leaders had ra ather

 ''All we have got to do is to maintain principles. The people have come to think for themselves and they propose to uphold principles at the expense of party shackles.
 Around this Bryan and Watson ticket we must rally, and tell the east that we will not bow down to their golden calf"
 Visiting Committee.
 At the conclusion of MT. Towards speech Dr. Grove said that he had been appointed a committeeman from the populisteXecutive committee, then in ses- sion, to inform them that the committee had decided to put out a full electoral ticket, and desired the Seventh Congress sional convention to name their elsctor and alternate.
 In reply to Committeeman Grove the chair stated that the next thing in order would be the nomination of elector.

 pr. Grove said he would state by way Of explanation that the recent state con- vention had clothed the committee with the authority to put out the electoral ticket.
 MT. Spears said, with all due respect to the committeeman and the executive committed. that he did not think the state convention clothed the committea with such authority. The discussion closed here and tho nomination for an elector and alternate was called, resulting in the selection of O. D. Street of Marshall as elector and T. w. Powell of Cullman as alternate Judge T. J. Street, father of o. D. Street, said he was absent when his son was nominated as elector, but knowing that he could not serve on account of legal business, which would require his attention at the time he should be mak- ing the canvass, suggested that the nomination be reconsidered. On motion the nomination of O. D. Street was withdrawn and w. M Cole man of Marshall was nominated in his stead.
 There being no further business the convention adjourned sin die. It was announced prior to adjournment that the executive committee would meet at 7:30 o'clock for organization and to appoint a campaign committee. At the meeting of the committee I. l..

For ten years, until recently, the Ma t.onal Bank of Florida, at Jacksonville. Fla, has been a depository of govern ment funds, and no question of it's sound ness has ever been raised. It's president, J. II. Stockton, a grandson of the late Commodore Stockton, and brother of the business manager of the Florida Times Union, a democratic free silver journal, is an advocate of free coinage and used h.s influence to pledge the Florida con- Vention to support the Chicago ticket. For so doing Secretary Carlisle, under orders from MT. Cleveland, has directed the public funds to be transferred to a Tampa bank weaker institution, whose last statement shows it's reserve to be below the legal requirements. The change involves embarrassment and, perhaps, loss to Stockton's bank, whose stockholders are thus made to suffer be- cause Stockton has been guilty of the deadly crime in Mir. Cleveland's eyes of supporting the democratic platform and ticket. And this overgrown bump eff fat conceit and vind!ctiveness is still called by some a democrat

The bonded indebtedness of the United States has increased more than $262, ,000,- 900 in less than three years. Cleveland and Carlisle have repeatedly declared that this increase of interest-bearing na- tienal debt was incurred for the sole pur- pose of maintaining the treasury gold of $1o0. 100000. The republican party is pledged 10 Cleveland's policy, and can maintain it only by issuing more bonds. Will the taxpayers submit to the imposi- tion of still greater burdens than they now bear-not to maintain the honor and credit of the nation. but that the trusts
 combines and blood-sucking monopolies may flourish and the stock and bond gamblers and gold conspirators of New York and London may grow richer and more powerful, and finally make the peo- pie the serfs of a plutocratic oligarchy?

The dollars of plutocracy are ar- fayed against the patriotism of the peo- hle in the political contest new pending.

Under the operation of the Mckinley tariff monstrosity the customs revenues were cut down from $229 000 900 in 1890 to $177 900, 900 in 1892 and $131 100000 in 1894. And yet, notwithstanding the pressing need for more revenue, Mckinley and his party propose to re-enact this same tax increasing, revenue decreasing law and further reduce the governments income. The republican party stands and con- tends alone for two things the people don't want and won't haye-more taxa tion and less money.

Boss Reed said, before the St. Louis convention had been bought up by gold bugs, that "the yellow man using the white money holds at his mercy the in- dustry of the white man using the yellow money" This was his way of confessing the truth, that the silver using Malays, Hindoos and Chinese are enabled by the help of the gold standard to ruin the productive Industries of the gold using white men of Europe and the United States. Yet this man dares still to call upon our people to uphold the gold standard, which is crushing them into slavery. The whole truth is, as Reed knows, that British and Wall street money mongers, by the aid of the gold standard, are plundering all four quar- ters of the globe to enrich themselves from the toll of men of all bloods and cOlOrS,

The republican policy is to increase tariff taxation and the burdens of the people under a. high prots ctlve tariff law, and at the same time continue the gold standard, enhance the value of money and drive down the prices of all other products and commodities. This, of course, would be immensely to the bene- fit of the non-taXpaying money power "the idle holders of idle capitaF'-and to the infinite detr.nlent of the taxpayers and wealth producers. This is the states manship and patriotism of Mckinley and his party; likewise of the boltocrats who are seeking to promote republican success.

 tive Committee. MIR. MANNING CASHES IN He Wears Mckinley and Hobart Badge Now Congressman Howard Renominated
