tation of the will and purposes of the people in that direction within the last sixty days has more than sustained our contention.
 This almost universal demand for free coinage is not, as the gold standard or gans would make believe a temporary and passing lunaey. but is the outward expression4of firm conviction that has existed and been in process of develop ment for twenty odd years, that gold monometalHsm is an impossibility in this country, except at the disastrous price of the destruction of it's prosperity and the practical achievement of the masses of the people; and the bitter expe- rience of the last three years under the British gold standard has only served to emphasize this conviction and inspire the victims with an intrepid determina- tion to submit no longer to it's devastat- ing scourge. The battle of the standards is on in earnest. The issue is between the. republican doctrine of gold mono metallism and the democratic principle of bimetalism, and will be fought to a finish. The contest presents to democ- racy the grandest opportunity ever af- forded a political party to permanently re-establish. itself in the affections and confidence of the people and restore itself to lasting supremacy and control of the government by reaffirmance of it's ancient principles and meeting the de- mands of the country for a truly demo- cratic and American financial system instead of the republican and British one now enforced
 The Chicago convention will seize the opportunity and meet the demands of the occasion.

 Senatorial District.

Cullman, May 30.-(Special)-The sen- atorial convention of the Third district, composed of Blount. Cullman and Win ston counties, met at Bangor yesterday, the 29th, and on the eighth ballot nomi- mated Will G. Brown, Esq. of Cullman county.

Captain Goodwyn, the slayer of men in joint debate. did not stop until he completely hedged himself in from the possibility of having to meet the democratic nominee.

We can respect a man who believes in

We can respect a man who believes in the theory of protection; we can concede honesty of purpose to those who favor a strong, centralized government; but when these doctrines are to be thrust down our throats, seasoned with civil rights bills, and by trucking to ignorance and pas- sion, we shall resent with all our power and vigor. No party In the south can survive monopoly of the great body of the negro vote, and yet the leaders of the peoples party, with twenty years of tes- timony to this fact. are attempting to create new party with the negro as it's foundation and cornerstone, and it's al- lies are claiming boastfully that this fu- sion so to occur is composed of twice as many negroes as white men.-Joseph F.

Their ranks have been reduced until there are today less than 100 white populists in Russell county, and the fact is evident that to stand any chance whatever to win they must have the negro vote. And how are they undertaking to get it? They propose to put negro on their ticket, and by this means induce them to rally to it's support"

Mir. Goodwin in h.s opening campaign speech in this city took occasion to vili- fly everybody and everything that did not agree with the policy of the mongrel party of which he is leader. Captain Johnston, the leader of the white mans party in Alabama, in his opening ad- dress uses the following chaste and pa- tr,otic language: q am not here to de- nounce any gentleman who does not agree with me. Thank God, the consti- tuition of our country, the air we breathe, the blood we inherit, the manhood that liberated this country from foreign dom- ination, g.ves us the right to do our own thinking and the liberty to express those thoughts fearlessly.

The Scottsboro Age addresses the fol- lowing truthful and timely remarks to the men who though claiming to be dem- ocrats have followed Kolb, Goodwin & Co. to the brink of radicalism, and are now being urged by those leaders to cross over: When Jeffersonian or third par ty man, or populite, gets his consent to go into the repub-pop fusion he loses his party identity-he can never separate himself any more. He never will be able to tell which one of the boys he is, whether pop or a repub, and what is worse than all, his friends can't tell no more than you can mix tar and molasses and stir them together thoroughly and then separate them again. It will always be mixture, and worse than all neither will possess the virtue that belonged to the other-both ruined for use, taste, smell or ornament. Don't go into it, you will ruin yourself and your friends. You have always said you would never cease to be democrat-keep your promise
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-31

Reports from the country precincts of Jefferson county are quite encouraging. Many of the white voters who in 1892 and 1894 supported Kolb have already announced their determination to vote the state and county democratic ticket.

Land loans, sub-treasures, the owner ship of railroads and telegraph lines were to furnish a currency and means to enrich the people without regard to enlarging the metallic base upon which it should rest or the experience of nations. Any and all amalgamation with the republl- can party was hooted at and scorned by the leaders White supremacy was it's cornerstone, and the republican party was called upon to dsfranchise a great number of its voters. The sub-treasures have been wrecked, railroad and tele- graph lines have been abandoned to their owners, the Ocala demands exist not even as a fragrant memory, and they now come to the white men of Alabama. linked arm in arm with the republican party, and clamorous for the colored vote. Yet, happily, they retain such a memory of other days. that they refrain from taking from. the old enemy of democracy about all it has left-its name.-Joseph F. John- StOn
