 HOW 4 REPUBLICAN TALKS Judge Shields of Jasper for a Straight Party Ticket. NO TRADING WITH THE POPS Some 0ld-fashioned, Sound Money, High Pro- lection, Dyed-in-the-Wool, Stalwart
 RadicaIism Talked.

Judge Shields, prominent republican of Jasper, is in the city to attend the meeting of the republican state execu- tive committee, which meets in this city today. He was seen by a State Herald reporter last night and among other things the judge said:
 For the past three years 1t mattered but little to us as party what course we republicans of Alabama took, for we were neither in power, nor expected to be; therefore we have been doing pretty much as we pleased, falling in with men and measures far from the landmarks of republicanism, knowing full well we could not be worsted in the administra- tion of our state and national affairs, no matter whom we put into power. No man, high or low, outside of state sala- ried officers but has felt the effect of this democratic administration; many have been utterly ruined and many more will yet be ruined before we get relief. The hour has arrived, though, when all eyes are turned to the republican party for relief. There has never been a time in the history of our government when the people have been so near one mind as now"
 What action do you republicans pro- pose to take tomorrow"
 My plan is to lay out our work and not divide and fight each other, but withdraw unto ourselves and stand by our party colors; we cannot longer afford to act as pig and puppy; we must be one or the other. I have made up my mind to take stand as republican with republicans and upon the principles which the repub- lican party has advocated for the past forty years.
 ''1. Sound money, controlled by the government.
 "2. Protection to American industries, and thereby raise sufficient revenue to defray the expenses of the government.
 "3. Fair and honest elections.
 T don't think anybody could object to these principles.
 Yes; am for standing firm on the re- publican principles, and ask all who be- eiecting to office full republican state and national ticket. We have heretofore earnestly and honestly aided the popu- lists in their efforts to elect their ticket and my opinion is that their ticket was elected. but because of their known Ocala doctrine were not permitted to take the reins of state government by the party in power. A fusion with them now with divided ticket would result the same as in the last two elections. So we cannot lose anything by running a straight re- publican ticket. and will stand better chance in getting a fair and honest cleo tion. cannot and will not vote for any man or set of men who have In their platform the free and unlimited coinage of silver at any ratio. This would be more destructive, from financial stand point than any two wars this country has ever had. In short. Lam a republi- can, and shall stand firm for the main tenance of republican principles without any compromise"

WILL REMEMBER BIRMINGHAM. MT. N. E. Thompson to Go to Johnstown, Pa
 Next Monday.

MT. N. F. Thompson, who for the past year and a half has been the efficient secretary of the Commercial club of this city, will leave next Monday for Johns town, Pa, whither he goes to accept the secretaryship of the chamber of com merce of that city.
 The position offered MT. Thompson at Johnstown is more lucrative than that he has been holding and gives him a fine opportunity to study the methods of the Pennsylvania people. In a speech before the Commercial club yesterday afternoon MT. Thompson said he would never cease to labor in the interests of Birmingham that though for time he might be absent from the city he would never let an opportunity for putting in a good word for the city escape him.
 His remarks were very appropriate to the severance of his connection with the club.
 MT. Thompson has won a good name here as a live and progressive citizen, whom the people of Birmingham will re- gret to give up even temporarily. His family will remain in Birmingham.

CHICKEN IN A STREET CAR.
Causes Its Owner Much Bother, and
Finally LAYS an Egg.


Finally Lays an Egg.
The other evening a woman boarded
a cable car with basket. All went we'll
until suddenly a loud cackling came
from her burden. The woman was nat
urally much embarrassed, and, while
blushing painfully, pretended to pay no
attention to the obstreperous chicken
which was being carried home. The
cackling continued, much to the amuse-
ment of the passengers, who were con-
vulsed with laughter. Nor did they at
tempt to conceal their amusement,
which embarrassed the woman even
more. She failed to see anything funny
in being made the butt of fun for ten or
fifteen passengers. The cackling chick
en- seemed to have no compassion on her
owner, for she persisted in keeping up a
continuous noise, notwithstanding the
gentle shaking and the frequent hush"
which the woman gave her. AS the
cackling kept up, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, the embarrassment of the
woman wore off, and faint smile IL
Illuminated her face. When the chicken
had been cackling proudly for ten min
utes, she concluded to open the basket
to see what was the matter. Imagine
her surprise and the amusement of the
passengers when she picked up brand
new egg which the chicken had laid in
transit.
