IMPORTANT MEETING

There viii assemble in the city today
leading democrats from every section of
the state. These party workers and
party standard bearers have been called
10 assemble here by General Shelley.
chairman of the state campaign COM
mittee for the purpose Of comforting to-
gether and getting the campaign started
off in the proper shape.
1t will be meeting of the true blues;
men who love their country and their
party; men who do not play the baby
act; men who hold steadGastly to the
doctrine that when the party speaks it
should be obeyed; men who still and al
ways VIII respect the amounting" powers
of democratic convention, whether they
happen TO be the nominee or not, men
who have fought the battles OF the party
in the past and TO whom, in a large meas
ure the party must look for leaders TO
fight its battles in the future; men who,
when the test came, bid defiance to the
corporate and money powers and stood
true 10 their colors, their people and
their country.
That these men will agree upon line
of battle and adopt such measures as
will rebound to the best interest of the
party goes without the saying. We know
that whatever they may agree upon will
be for the best and the democratic
masses stand ready to bear them out.
With today the campaign for Bryan and
Sewall opens in Alabama in dead earnest,
and there VIII be no let up until The polls
close on the evening of the first Tuesday
in November next.
There is but one question as to Ala
bama, and that is how large will the
democratic majority be.
There will be some notable absentees
from the meeting today If roll call of
those present at a similar meeting held in
Birmingham four years ago, when Gen
eral Shelley was in charge of the cam
paign, is made Some of those who will
be absent are now in the camp of the
enemy, aud most of them attempting TO
outherod Herod in the interest OF Nc
Kinley and all kinds of rank radicalsm.
There are few, very few, OF those
who will be absent today whose going
from the party probably meant no gain.
but the majority of those, and particu-
larry the most prominent ones who have
departed from the party and will not be
present today, certainly did the party a
kind favor by lifting from il their awfulIy
heavy dead weight.
In view of the fact that the man
who did more to reduce the demo-
cratic majority in Alabama than the
republican party has ever been able
to do is now posing as the grand sachem

main in the field until the polls are closed,
when, [ feel confident, I will have more
votes than either Of my opponents"
1T has been rumored that you would
withdraw in favor of the populist. What
have you to say on that question:"
II simply say there is nothing in the re-
port We have been mixing with the
populists in our district, but have got
tired of the compound, and propose to
take it straight this year"
You are supporting Mckinley for
president, of course?"
Yes. ! am republican, and no loyal
member of our party will do otherwise.
The republicans supported Howard
and really elected him two years ago,
and now he is showing his base ingrati-
tude by bowling against Mckinley and
supporting Bryan. The republicans have
a fair chance to come in and take the
cake while Bullock and Howard are
wrangling as to which is the best Bryan
man."
When asked about the money question
he said: Il am in favor of a dollar with
purchasing power of 100 cents. / want
