to the counties from which the strength
to nominate him is to come
Every man at all informed on political
affairs in Alabama knows that if the
facts and reasons pointing to the posi-
bility of Clarke's nomination were in ex-
istenee the Advertiser would daily be
Haunting then1-i in the face of its readers.
The truth Is they don't exist. The only
thing on earth that a. hope for Clarke's
nomination could ever have been founded
upon was thatsd ohnston would not prove
to be as strong this year as he was two
years ago All those who entertained
that hope saw 1t shattered by the returns
from Morgan county After the battle
was over in Morgan county and the
smoke had cleared away it was found
that Johnston was not only holding his
own but was proving to be stronger than
he was in 1894 Johnston, lacking only
seventeen votes of being the nominee in
1894, stronger man before the people
now than he was then, making the race
against very much weaker man before
the people than the man who only de-
feated him by seventeen votes in 1894,
can but be the winner in this contest.
1t is now as certain as anything can pos
S'Di5 NC III pOllllCS lIdl mas not actually
occurred, that Johnston will go to Mont
gomery with plenty of votes to nomi-
nate him over Clarke from the counties
he carried two years ago and the coun-
ties carried by him, a part of whose del
egations he was prorated out of in 1894.
Out of these counties he win have good
working majority in the convention
Add to this the thirty votes that he will
get in north ond west Alabama this
year that Oates got in 1894, fifty votes in
the Third district that he will certainly
get this time. at least twenty-five votes
from the Fifth district that he will get
this time, which Oates got two years ago,
and thirty odd from the Second district
from counties carried by Oates in 1894,
and it can but be conceded by the most
ardent Clarke man or even the bitterest
anti-Johnston man that the nomination
of Johnston by an overwhelming major
ity Is foregone conclusion. ri
There is simply not even claiming
grounds left to Clarke and his followers.
He is simply not in the race. He will not
be the nominee, no not this year.

both geographically and personally
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Bulletin appears to have forgotten
that Mr.. Allison was mixed up in the
Credit Mobilier scandal of twenty years
ago, when Vice President Colfax and
other distinguished men were driven in
disgrace from public life. The Credit
Mobilier was a company organized to
build the Union Pacific railroad. Mr..
Cakes Ames, a member of congress, was
at it's head. In order to procure congress
sonal help Cakes Ames distributed
among members of congress a large
amount of Credit Mobilier and railroad
stock. Allison had his share with other
corruptionists in the house, of which he
was then member from the Dubuque
district of Iowa.
The Chicago Chronicle reproduces the
history of Ames' dickering with con-
gressmen and shows that Mr.. Allison was
willing to get stock for nothing That
paper says:
The basis on Which Credit MObiiier
stock was distributed among members
of congress was that the dividends al
ready accumulated on the stock should
constitute part of the purchase money.
A member of congress buying $1,000 of
stock war credited on his purchase with
$500 in dividends already accrued. He
paid little in cash. which he received
back soon afterward in further divi-
dends. So his stock cost him nothing,
while producing a profit as long as it
was held.
when knowledge of these transact
tons came to the public an immense up
roar arose.. The entire nation was scau-
dalized. Thus some of the men who had
dabbled in the stock rushed to cover and
gave or sold their stock back to Cakes
Ames in hopes that their names would
not appear In the disclosures to follow.
"They were mistaken in this respect.
He had kept an account of every trans
action in a red memorandum book,
which became of historical value as evil
dence in the case Of every person incul-
pated.
TT appears in the evidence that Allison
took the stock and was credited with the
dividends. He was among those. how

MISSIONARY WORK IN MADISON.

! Under the above heading the Hunts
vile Argus of yesterday has the follow
ing to say Of the wonders being accom-
plished in Madison by our ex-governor:
Hon. Thomas G. Jones spoke to a
crowd of eighty-five at New Market yes
terday. He made touching allusion to
the lamented Judge Rice. This was de-
cidedly the most impressive portion of
his effort, and 1t did not pertain to the is
sues between Johnston and Clarke.
1.-The New Market crowd showed a pre-
ponderance of Johnston men,
Solicitor Lowe and Mr.. r. w. Miller
escorted the ex-governor to Meridian
willie, where in the afternoon he addressed
an audience of thirty-one, of which TWEEN
ty-nine were for Johnston first, last and
all the time. During his Grafton some
one whose foot had fallen asleep, let it
drop on the floor. just as the governor
rounded one of his periods and made q
pause This was mistaken for a starter
at applause and the two Clarke men re-
spondsd with all their might.
THE governors missionary work in
Madison is not worth any more than his
constant efforts at home, where his own
county of Montgomery is safely in the
Johnston column"
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-04-05

falling to each American is more than
what two Frenchmen or Germans have
at their disposal" Another wonderful
advantage possessed by this country is
that we keep no standing army, whereas
European nations keep In forced idleness
100000 men, who are in the prime of life,
and have to set apart 100000 workers to
feed and clothe the standing armies.
When we look at such facts we stand
amazed at the fear that the United
States cannot maintain a currency policy
3of her own and force it's adoption finally
upon her weaker commercial rivals.
Horace Greeley once said that the only
way to resume specie payment was to re-
sumo. And SO we say that the only way
to reach standard money bimetallism is
to enact it into law in this country. 1t
is useless to dance attendance upon
Great Britain. That country will never
arbitrate until this country informs her
in unmistakable terms that unless she
consents to arbitrate we will arbitrate
for her. Just as she came to terms when
Mr.. Cleveland launched at her his Ven
ezuelan ultimatum, so she will come to
terms when the United States launches
at her free silver coinage act.
