The bill governing primary elections
is receiving the Endorsement of both press
and people. One of the pledges of the
democratic party is to make an effort to
secure honest elections in this state and
this is one step in that direction. Now
let this be followed with a just and equi-
table contest law.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

The Knoxville Morning Tribune gives
out the following figures on the national
campaign:
The claim that Mckinley received
more than 100000 majority of the popu-
lar vote is not true. McKinley's vote Is
7,015,661, and Bryans is 6,347,736 McKin-
ley has plurality of 767925 The full
vote of Texas has not yet been reported,
but complete official returns from all
states will not materially change the
above figures. Altogether there were
about 13,600,000 votes cast. The total
vote cast for Palmer was only 1880
In Tennessee Palmer and Buckner re-
ceived 1,951, while lowering, the prohibi-
ZIONIST, received over 3.000 Palmer re-
ceived only $4,000 votes in his own state
while it gave Bryan 1852, 1855, or nearly 40,-
900 more votes than 1t cast for Cleveland
in 1892. In Kentucky, Buckner's own
state, the Palmer and Buckner ticket re-
ceived only 5,01S votes while Bryan re-
ceived 217,797. In New York $4,000 votes
were cast for Palmer, while 54S,S89 were
cast for Bryan. The Palmer ticket was
a fraud and farce from beginning to
end Bryan's vote is about 100000 larger
than Clevelands vote four years ago.

ADVERTISER NOW IN CONTROL.

The democratic caucus of the general
assembly of Alabama does not seem 70
be controlled by the Montgomery Adver-
tiser this year This is peculiarly strange,
since the Advertiser stood so nobly by
the democratic nominees this year in the
national election. Certainly the old
lady should be allowed to dictate the pol
icy of the democratic party. The SER
voice should be obeyed. At least the
Advertiser seems to think so.

SILENT as AN oYsTER.

Capt. Goodwin has been as silent as
an oyster. We hope his silence means
acquiescence to the will of the people of
the Fifth district. He might have had
some grounds of contestfng two years ago
when partisan congress seated him,
but not so at present He was defeated
by an honest majority in six Of the nine
counties composing the district--by an
honest majority in the white counties,
too. The Gilmore gentleman is a good

and well trained forces, but IL 1t is his

Some weeks ago we published an ar

which was then the capital Of Alabama,
and in relation to a ball to be given to

of the purchase of an executive mansion
leads us to believe that Birmingham pro-
poses at an early date to agitate the mat
ter of removing the state house from
Montgomery to Birmingham. When this
matter comes up for final decision we ex-
pect to See a fight to the finish between
the partisans and friends of the two cit
les.
When Birmingham was surveyed a
beautiful lot was set aside for the pur-
pose of building the state house upon
when the then infant city should attain
sufficient size to bring about the removal
The reason then advanced for the belief
that Birmingham could and would some
day secure the capitol was that the loca-
ton is nearest the center of the white
population of Alabama. That condition
is as true now as 1t was then, and many
of the leading citizens of North Alabama
favor the proposed removal.
Montgomery will not permit the change
to be made without struggle, and a
fierce one at that. We can almost sea
such men as Col Wiley pleading with
the people, telling them of the fame of
Capitol hill; how the confederacy was
born and rocked on the banks of the
placid but murky Alabama how the
brave legislators at Montgomery wrested
with the perllous reconstruction, finally
securing a white mans government. All
these sentimentalites will be worked
for their full value, and warm time
may be confidently expected

THE CAUSE OF HIS DEFEAT.

III 1879 congressman oates leIL MS SedU
at Washington and came to Alabama
and entered the contest for Governor.
The fight was q sharp, short one, and
victory perched upon the banner of Col.
Oates. He stated frankly during the
canvass that he did not care to be Gov,
ernor, but that he was simply running to-
aid the party and because the peoples
wanted him for Governor; that the am
bition of his life was to go to the United
States senate.
Col Oates will be called Governor the
balance of his days, but his ambition
has been crushed. He listened to the
siren voice of the Advertiser when 1t call
ed upon him to run for Governor against
Joe Johnston, and he yielded. That was
the fatal step for Gov. Oates career.
1t is true 1t made him the chief execu-
tive of Alabama, but here his career has
ended, for the present, at least.
We like Gov Oates and he was our,
help feeling sorry for him in his hour of,
defeat. He is a proud, imperious, am
bilious fellow, and but for the fact that
he yielded to the seductive words of the
Advertiser, he would today be as promi-
nent as he ever was, instead of bearing
upon his brow the crushing defeat that
he received al the hands of Cen Pettus
A defeated politician is one of the most
pitiable objects on earth, except 1t be a.

winning side, going down before the
victorious legions Of the opposition.-Sel-

Because a democrat fails to vote in the
paady primary does not argue that he
can vete against the nominees. If you
participate in primary you pool your
vote and it is your duty to deliver it on
demand. If you fail to vote in the pri-
mary and refuse to vote in the general
election you only weaken the confidence
of the members of your party in your
fealty. No democrat can vote against
his party and still. be a democrat, and
this applies in municipal elections when
