MIR. GREER MISREPRESENTE
K Kolb's Tribune Makes Statements Which Cannot Be Verified.
 A aie.t.A. I.,1rr O1

Anniston, July 21, 1896. To the State Herald:
 l see in Kolbs Tribune statement that Len Greer left the peoples party in 1894 and for some cause or other the populist party largely increased it's vote after he left it. Now, the facts are these: Greer stayed with the peoples party up until the very moment that Smith and Grimmett were placed on the ticket. He refused to support Aldrich in 1894 be- cause he was republican and not pop ulist As to the increased vote, Greer boiled forty nine votes more than N. J. Stevens in August, 1894, for the legisla- ture, and nearly 300 more than G. w. Landers received for county superintend- ent of education and about 800 more than Aldrich boiled for congress. Now. these are facts that can be proven by the of- ficial returns for this county in the state and congressional elections for 1894.

The Sun, one of the most influential republican papers in Lawrence, Mass, a manufacturing town of 45,0O0, has come out for Bryan and Sewall. Bolting from the republican party is getting to be much more common in the east than it was a few days ago from the democratic party. The longer the people consider the Chicago platform the more they con- demn the republican declaration of principles"

It is now confidently asserted that Ex- Manipulator Whitneys discontent did not begin with the kicks and rebuffs he met at the Chicago convention, but months ago, when he went to Washing ton and wrestled for days in vain to ob- tain from Cleveland an express, open disavowal of his yearnings for a third term, which Whitney was silly enough to imagine would head off the free silver movement

PRETTY TOUGH.

There is no denying the fact that near ly all those who are kicking at the dem- ocratic platform are admirers or MT. Cleveland It is also true that those klckers talk long and loud about the fail ure of the Chicago convention to indorse the president Some of them have gone so far as to declare that they will vote for Mckinley. We are sure that they have not read carefully what the plat form on which Mckinley was nominated had to say about their great patron saint, MT. Cleveland. In order that they may know for what they are voting when they vote for Mckinley, in the way of an indorsement of their idol we reproduce here an extract from the republican plat form. Secretary Herbert, having failed to register, will be compelled to give a half vote thereby in favor of this reso- Iution, but those who have registered and actually vote for Mckinley will cast their full vote for the following indorse- men of the president:
 "For the first time since the war the American people have witnessed the ca lamitous consequences of full and unre- stricted democratic control of the gov ernment. It has been record of unpar- alleled incapacity, dishonor and disaster. In administrative management 1t has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable reve- nue, entailed an increasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with bor- rowed money, piled up the public debt by $282, ,000, GOO in time of peace, forced an ad- verse balance of trade, kept perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates and reversed all the results of successful republican rule. In the broad effect of it's policy 1t has precipitated panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged depression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enter prise and crippled American production while stimulating foreign production for the American market Every considera- tion for public safety and individual in terest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable to conduct 1t without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be restor-' ed to the party which, for thirty years. administered 1t with unequaled success and prosperity"

It is quite consistent with the dignity and greatness of the United States to have for its president a poor man, pro- vided he is his own or the peoples man. It is quite another thing for the greatest people on earth to have nominally as their chief magistrate any one who is the mere proxy of Mark Hanna, the prince of poodle and grand mogul of fat frying. and others like him.

Every delegate of the two-thirds ma- jority which adopted the democratic free silver platform at Chicago and plac- ed Bryan and Sewall in nomina ton was of untinctured Caucasian blood. More than two-thirds of the crowd at St. Louis who adopted the republican gold plat form and nominated Mckinley and Ho- bart were either negroes or less respect able than negroes-the purchased slaves of the money mongers. Since when didne- gro bucks and political sepoys become the opponents and guardians of consti- tutional American freedom? Since when did the white men of the glorious south, of the mighty Mississippi valley and the great west become horde of anarchists, revolutlonists and incendiaries? Does the Anglo-Saxon propose to abdicate his inherent sovereignty of these United States in favor of the negro and his peers and underlinSs?

As stated by MT. Miner in his letter above, it was not the purpose of the ar ticle in question to do either the water works or the community referred to an injustice. It was simply statement of existing conditions and passing criti- cisms privately spoken and publicly ex- pressed"
 It is the quality, and not the quantity, of the water the people are grumbling about. They claim they are paying for good and wholesome water and are not getting it. The water works company is supposed to look after the cause and the people the effect. MT. Jones ought not to be drenched with mud because Mir. Smith turns on the hose.
 MT. Milner says the health officer in- forms him he does not know of a single case of typhoid fever If the health of ficer desires the information the reporter will point out a case near the summit of the Highlands and direct him to other neighborhoods where the disease also is said to exist.
 The reporter has no disposition to wage war on the water works company, but stands squarely by his report of yes terday as being correct as to the condi- ton of the water and the prevalence of fever.

Some years since Grover Cleveland de- clared in letter that the south was the impregnable citadel of American insti- tutions and freedom. He told the truth. The homogeneous American south was, and Is, and always will be, the bulwark of the liberties of the people. whether as- sailed by open foes or disguised enemies. See how it grandly stands now, entire and solid as Gibraltar, repelling all the assaults of mammon's mercenaries. Honor forever, then, to the solid south, which can neither be bought, bullied nor broken-the unconquerable paladin of liberty law and the peoples rights and heritage!

Many of the banks-it seems in con- cert-are beginning to refuse to pay out gold when asked on checks of their de- positors under the pretext that these de- positors are seeking to withdraw gold for purposes of hoarding. They exercise their option, as they have a right to do, for their own protection and pay depos- itors drafts in. that form of legal tender money most convenient for them. There is no dishonesty in this and their credit does not at all suffer by it. No one-weuld censure them for this if these same fei- lows were not all the time falsely assert ing that the United States cannot, with out dishonesty and loss of credit pay its liabilities at it's option in silver as well as gold coin, when they are expressly made so payable on their face and were declared so to be by an immense majori- ty of both houses of congress many years ago.

When the wise men who framed the federal constitution made every native born American citizen 35 years old eligi- ble to the presidency they thereby re- corded their solemn. deliberate convic- tion and judgment that the people might be safely trusted to select their chief magistrate from the republics citizens of that age and upward. Those who now object to MT. Bryan-who is over S6 years old-simply on account of his youth, in so doing impeach either the wisdom and sagacity of the great fathers or the com mon sense and good judgment of our cit izenshp. Our federal constitution mak- CTS were well read in history, which shows that nearly all the worlds great est men have been at their best when about as old as MT. Bryan, and many of them when much younger.

MUD AND MICROBES"
Major Miners Letter to the State Herald 7on the Article of Yesterday-The
 Reporters Reply.
To the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
 Birmingham, Ala, July p, 1896.
 The article in your issue of this morn ing headed Mud and Microbes" not on- ly does an injustice to the water com pany, no doubt unintenHonally, but also does a great injury to the community. While it is true that some time ago the water from Cahaba was for g. few days somewhat soiled, for causes already ex- plained, this condition has entirely pass ed away, and I trust will not return. Our water supply will compare favor ably with that of any city in the United States, as shown by our health statistics.
 As to typhoid germs it is well known to physicians and others conversant with the facts that muddy water is no more liable to contain them than the dearest and brightest water to be found. If the water works water was contaminated with typhoid germs an epidemic would pervade the city, and not be limited to any locality. The health officer informs me that he does not know of a single case. If there are cases it will doubtless be found that they were produced by other causes than the water works water. One house was pointed out to me in which case is said to have been re- ported. l found in the back yard of these premises well in use and in the same block humber of wells in use, and also a number of water closets in use with no water turned on them.
 The facts developed by the inspection made by the city as to the leaky condi- tion of service pipes, to which reference was made also in the article, are in the possession of the mayor, and have no doubt he will publish them if he thinks
 OI.xw served. The water company's inspec- tors, who accompanied those of the city, reported more than half of the attach ments examined leaking, and many of them running with full force, which is ample evidence to account for the enormous waste complained of. Besides this they also found a great number of swater closets in use with no water on them. Respectfully,
