MARION COUNTY
Will Roll Up the Usual Democratic Majority. PopuIists Coming to the Demo-
 cratic Standard.

Guin, July 15.-(Speclal Correspond ence.)-The county canvass opened yes- terday at Hamilton. There was large crowd, and W. c. Davis, democratic nominee for representative, did up his republican opponent in fine style. The republican speech was the stereotyped and ancient cry of fraud and reckless ex- penditure of state funds MT. Davis took up the alleged speech, misstatement by misstatement, and showed the utter falsity of the charges, and demonstrated the business of democratic rule. The op- position had considerable trouble in making up their ticket in this county, their first nominee for representative having bucked against the democratic phalanx two years ago, didn't want any of it in his. Then, after making other futile attempts to secure a candidate, they found a man who, being rather stranger and not knowing the size of the job, has undertaken to defeat the invin- cible democracy.
 The state and county ticket will re- ceive the usual 800 majority in Marion. The nomination of Bryan has aroused more enthusiasm in the party herea- bouts than anything that has occurred recently. It has also taken the cry out of the mouths of the pops that the demo- cratic party was not really in favor of free coinage. All the populites whom I have seen who actually want free coin age more than they do office say they will support Bryan and the state ticket. yesterday, but failed to put in an appear ance.
 Hurrah for Bryan, Johnston and all other white folks

John Forsyth's Old Paper, the Register,
 Said to Be Sold to Republicans.
 Mobile, July .-(Spec!aL)--It is com mon street talk today that Prelate D. Barker, ex-postmaster of Mobile under Harrison, and republican boss of Mo- bile's black and tan party, has "ac- quired control of the Mobile Register, and that that alleged democratic sheet will hoist the black flag and wage open war upon its own people hereafter. The details of the trade are not made pub lie, but street talk and that in many 0 business office assert that the paper will not be turned over to Barker until after the state election, and will meanwhile continue it's alleged support of Joe John- ston and the white mans party. There is supreme irony of fate in this rumor, for Barker preceded Col. John l.. Rapier in the postoffice and turn about is fair play should Rapier precede him in the Register. The public will give a long sigh of relief if the change does come soon, as an open enemy is easier dealt with than masked one, shooting from behind our own flag. Besides being ex- postmaster, boss of the negro party and prospective boss of the Register, Barker is principal owner and manager of the Battle house, which he does not open to receive his "colored brother"

HON. PHILANDER MORGAN

 My Dear Sir: I enclose a slightly re. vised copy of my short address at Coal City You are at liberty to use it as you please. I could mot we'll enlarge upon it without going too much into details. and, besides, do not think it's import ance demands it. l took the position I now occupy before the meeting of the November conference of 1895. 1 only an- ticlpated the action of the peoples party, and determined then that I would not compromise with fusion with the repub- lican party. Your old friend,
 "PHILANDER MORGAN"
 The Address.
 Mir Chairman: I am indebted for my position upon this floor to the courtesy of personal friends and for considerations that are entirely personal to myself
 And, while l have nothing to offer in eXtenuation of my conduct for leaving the democracy at the time 1 did, yet 1 have no excuse to render for coming to the support of your party in the condi- tions that now surround us-under con- ditions that are absolute in ther appli- cation to human liberty, to human pro- gress and to moral elevation that lifts us rom mere human lhStlncCS 10 the like ness of God.
 As my rights in this convention are limited to that of personal pri~ilege, I will say that I left the democratic party for the reason that it had abandoned the leading tenetS of it's political faith to fol- low MT. Celeveland, and, in turn, I left the populist organization because, tempted by the illusions of eXpediency, it had deserted it's principles for the hope that fusion with a common enemy had inspired; because it's assimilation with repubEcanism in it's most dangerous form so far as it affects our social and political conditions.
 As for myself I have always held 10 those great principles that were so ably illustrated by Jackson, that are today embellshed by Bryan, that have always been the polar star of true democratic faith
 And now, MT. Chairman, that the de- mocracy Have returned to the Faith of their fathers, now that they have reas- serted their claim to the once proved dis tinction of being the party of the people now that they are building upon the foundation of equality of rights that alone can bear up the structure of human liberty-now that they have placed the banner of democracy in the hands of William Jennings Bryan-now that union is the synonym of success-I re- gard the privilege of voting for such man as greater than party obligations that oppose it, and for these reasons I am prepared to indorse the action of the state and national democratic conven- tion.
 MT. Philander Morgan Is brother of Senator Morgan.

STANDING ROOM AT PREMIUM.
Gen. Pettus, Hon. Oscar Underwood and Judge MontgomerY at Blountsville.

Gen. Pettus, Hon. Oscar Underwood and
 Judge Montgomery at Blountsville.
 BlountSyille, July 14.-(Special Corre- spondence.) .)-Gen. D. W. Pettus, Con- gressman o. w. Underwood and Judge Joseph H. Montgomery addressed the people of this town and community to- day. The large hall of the Blountsville college was filled and standing room was at premium. The discussion was open ed by that prince of democrats, General E. W. Pettus, and for two hours he told the people of their rights and the func- tions of government. He outlined the causes producing business depression, paid glowing tribute to the patriotism and democracy of the "orator of the Platte," and called upon his audience for Hall Alabamians to be true to Ala bama, whatever course the nation may take" Remarkable was the attention given the grand old prince as he spoke words of wisdom and counseled unity among the whites.
 Congressman Underwood (for the peo- pie of Blount claim no one but Under wood as their congressman was greeted by his constituents with an enthusiasm and applause which showed the esteem and confidence they have for him. In an easy and graceful way he told of how the republican majority in congress, without regard to the facts in his case
 
 by the people and gave the seat of this district to one who was not the choice and how Candidate Goodwin joined in this outrage on the people. He described to us the contest case of Murray vs. El- liott. in which this same Goodwyn join ed the republicans to seat a negro from the Charleston district in South Caro- lima over g white man, and how no popu- lite but Goodwin joined in seating the negro. The people of Biount are proud of MT. Underwood, for they feel that he has been loyal to the trust reposed in him.
 Judge Montgomery wound up the speaking by injecting some little ginger in his speech He told the citizens of Blount that Jefferson stood ready to right the wrong done the people of this district by the unseating of Underwood and that when November came Jeffer- son, Blount, Blob, Hale and Perry would hurl back the islander and infamy heaped upon them by unseating the choice Of the people. He predicted the achievement of splendid victories for de- mocracy and white supremacy in Auz gust and November and urged the whites to reunite and let a common in terest dictate a common victory-a vic- tory in which all will be proud.
 All the speeches were well received. They were without abuse of any one. The democratic seeds sowed in this coun- ty will yield abundant harvest in Au- gust Blount sends the glad tidings to Butler and Choctaw, Clay and Cleburne, DeKalb and Limestone, Talladega and Tuskaloosa and the great state of Wal ker and entreats them to join her in the democratic march to victory and success. We are headed that way and they can't stop us.

GREAT NIGHT AT LEWlSBURG
An Enthusiastic Audience Liberally Applaud Democratic 0rators-Lewisburg Is
 Safe and Solid for the Ticket.

Wednesday night number of demo- crats went out to Lewisburg, where they found a large and enthusiastic gather ing to hear the truths of democracy eX- pounded
 Speeches were made by Col. J. J. Alt man, Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, Commis- sioner Stratford, Mir George L. Young and A. Latady, Esq. The audience paid the closest attention to the orators, who were liberally applauded. Indeed, they were inspired to excel themselves.
 After the speech making a magnificent supper, prepared by Mesdames Patter- son and Cook, was enjoyed. A gentle man who partook of it says that no we'd ding feast could have been more sumptu- ously spread.
 Superintendent John Reed acted as chairman of the meeting and presided with grace and dignity
 It was a great occasion and emphasizes the fact that Lewisburg will materially aid in swelling the democratic majority in Jefferson county.
