A Word Regarding Hon. Clay Sloan

Having known the above named gentleman from early childhood, l feel it my duty to say few words to my neighbors and the Democracy regarding his candidacy for Auditor of State.
 He is a young man of brilliant at tainments, and possessing qualifica- tions beyond any kind of question, having been specially prepared in the office of Circuit Court Clerk of his county, and later holding the same office two terms. Jefferson county Democracy can afford to be fair towards a true and tried friend that has the ability and influence and has shown in the past that he was broad enough to aid the white people of the black district wher they sorely needed it.
 He has been the friend of th' laboring man, as shown. in his bril- liant championship of the fellow servants bill. All of his public act: which have been many tor one s' young have shown him to be in th' front rank of progressive states manship.
 One of his opponents lives in { county that has heretofore beel greatly honored, and now has thre

candidates for sta1e office, another comes from section which has also been highly honored, and has two candidates for State office. Jeffer- son county has two favored sons asking re election. My young friend resides in a section that gives large Democratic votes but has no representative holding State office.

FELLOW DEMocATs:-Permit me to acknowledge my grateful ap- preciation for yonr partlality in conferring upon me the honor of your choice for q Representative in the Legislature, and in return l can but pledge my earnest effort to foster as well as guard the interest of our county and State alike In the coming session of the General Assem- ply if am SO fortunate us to Oc- eupy a seat in that body.
 Sirs: I regard the year of 1896 as pregnant with great political results, and verily believe will be one of the noted epochs in our eountry's his tory and from which will date our second declaration of independence Reasserting our political integrity, disdaining fnI ther vassalage to foreign greed will set asunder the bonds of British dominion and pro- claim our nation financially as well as politically free. 1t is accepted that we all want honest money and more of it yet 1ifferas to the methods at issue. For myself stand for the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of l6 to without waiting the action of any other government. It is claimed by opponents of silver that over production of the worlds goods is the cause of low prices re- sulting in distress and Restitution in the land, that there is ample supply of money of the needs of the people, that we have q per capita of $25, when in truth it does not exceed SIP.
 There are over 5000 banks, in- cluding State, National and private in the United States. The reports of the comptroller of the currency showed the amount total of money of every kind each bank had on July II, 1895. And from these re- ports it was shown that there was only $l27 ,000.0OO of gold in all the banks of the United States and was the available gold in the country, not including about $l00.000. .000 not available in the treasury. This is true Notwithstanding the figures given out by the director of the mint claiming there to be $500, ,000, 900 of gold in the country.
 Such subterfuge will not avail and in the language of exPresident Lin coin "all the people cannot be fooled all the time,
 Two years ago in aeengention with great nnanimity our people defined their position on the financial issue and placed our State in the front ranks of the silver column, and when the grand old Democratic party in council conyenes at Chicago on July 7th her accredited delegates there will illustrate her loyalty to the fathers of Democracy and cast their might for free coinage of gold and silver at ratio of l6 to l, and under this banner with united Democracy we will march to nation al victory on the 3rd day of Noyen- Der.
