Campaign EChoes~mna~
From Every Part of the State.

Campaign speakers have commenced to make the welkin ring all over the state for Joe Johnston and democracy.
 Charley Waller of Hale county reports good news from that grand old demo- cratic county. Hale can be depended upon to do her duty.
 The most encouraging news continues to reach us that many men who voted for Kolb, and have been believers in popu- llsm, are coming back to the house of their fathers.
 Every day brings to the state commit tee letters from gentlemen heretofore af- filiating with the populists announcing their intention to return to the demo- cratic party.
 Chairman Knox is making a splendid chairman. and is showing that the party acted wisely in placing him in charge of the campaign. Watch for glorious vic tory in Angus sog
 The democratic outlook in Clay county is very encouraging. The democrats have registered pretty we'll, and they are more enthusiastic than they have been in the last four years
 Syd Bowie, chairman of the Talladega izing democratic club in every precinct in the county and is arousing a great deal of enthusiasm.
 In Dale county there are sixty odd white men in two beats who have here tofore voted the populite ticket who now openly proclaim that they intend to sup port Johnston and the state ticket.
 M w. Whatley, chairman of the Clay county democratic executive committee, is hustling to wheel that county in the democratic column in August. The most encouraging news comes to us of his work.
 That grand old veteran of democracy, Senator John T. Morgan, will return to Alabama after June 20 and take an ac- tive part in the campaign. His mighty influence will be great in the present campaign.
 Ex-Senator Handy gives us encourage ing news of the outlook for democratic success in Randolph county. In one pre- cinct in that county over thirty populites, who have heretofore voted and worked for populism, now say that they intend to support Johnston and the state ticket at the August election.
 There is not a more aggressive and ac- tice young politician in the state than Brac Musgrove of Walker. He is mem- Der of the state campaign committee, and is putting in some splendid licks for the party. He is one of "the boys" in the trenches, and he knows how to 'whoop 'em' up.
 There will be an old-time barbecue up in Morgan, at Hartselle, on Saturday, June 13. Captain Johnston and Governor Oates will both be present and enthuse the people. The democrats of old Mor- gan are feeling good over their chances of carrying the county by good size majority in the August election, and they have commenced early in the campaign to get in their work.

Woman's Democracy.

FayeIte Sun. =
 Woman! the noblest work of Gods creation. Through the ages she has builded monuments for which men have received the praise.
 Away from the hustle and stir of life, she moves in her own sphere; coolly and calmly she watches the doings in public affairs, and on one side or the other of the issues that arise you will find her standing firm by her convictions, and she is nearly always right.
 The history of southern chivalry, southern valor and southern heroism shines with a brighter luster as the years go by, because locked in the spirit of it's genius are the sacrifices the unfaltering fidelity to the south's interest and the un- swerving devotion to God of the south's noble women. They were brave and true in wars dark hour and true and noble in defeat.
 They were ,derpocrats during recon struction days and their blood would al- most boil when they saw the "kinky- headed" sons of Ham, armed with guns and backed by federal bayonets, march, ing to the ballot boxes on southern soil to see that white men acted fairly. Those who were living then do not want to see the hideous banner of republican Op- pression and negro rule floating over us again, and the offspring of southern mothers hold dear the same views and will be found in the defense of right. In the county of Chambers nine-tenths of the noble women are opposed to the ''fu- sion combine-compromise of principle" and in favor of white supremacy and the democratic party. .

Therefore MT. Nelson Will Not Affiliate
 With the Fusionists.

With the Fusionists. Greensboro Watchman.
 MT. Editor: notice in the Watchman of May 2S under caption of "Populite Nominees" the name of one w. P. Nell son as candidate for commissioner of the Third district of Hale county.
 take this method of withdrawing my name from said ticket. I also give few reasons for doing so:
 1. do not desire that or any other off, flee.
 3. I would not accept an office that could not get with vote of the majority of my white fellow countymen. l hon. estly believe that a majority of the white people of Hale county belong to what Is known as "organized democracy" While disapprove of much that Faction has done yet I believe the majority of the white people in every community should rule and--as I have always done stand ready to maintain this principle.
 The eternal principles of democracy as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, An drew Jackson and Ben Tillman are deep ly imbedded in the innermost depths of my soul.
 voted for R. F. Kolb, honestly believ- ing-and still believe--he was the choice of large majority of the white demo- crats of Alabama. I have no apologies or regrets on that score. l shall in the future, as in the past, vote for men and measures which I deem to be true de- mocracy. w. F. NELSON.

ernor? If not, would 1t be justice to him for Goodwin to ignore his counsel? Have you seen the gleam of such ambition In him as to attract-make him your ally? Is he your peer and does his applause excite you to nobler and higher aims? If you still have your doubts as to his fitness to rule and dominate you in af- fairs of state is it political prejudice to ask you to reflect before you vote in the coming state election?
 But few days ago the State Herald showed MT. Congressman and Would-be Governor Goodwin voting to seat a ne- gro and unSeatlng white man. If to- day the negro had no ballot would Ex- State Senator Congressman Goodwin confer it upon him? After his vote in congress we will not undertake to say! Give it to some fitted for 1t. Yes, that might be. but not to the ignorant and illiterate mass, who are but two or three steps removed from cannibal birth, for a century is but step in mans advance ment in morals.
 We have too high an opinion-no mat ter how ambitious the man may be who has home among us-to believe that there are any so low and base as to further infiict this curse upon us, if they could prevent it. But what Is the moral difference between the conditions? Here is a man or men running for office to get negro votes, their only hope of elec- tion, who would not confer or seek that vote if it had not been conferred. Nor would the republican party again, with out restrictions, confer it upon the negro
 If he had been shown a fitness for it had wisely used it--there never would have been any protest against its use by him. But who is there who Is so ig- norant and blind to the facts of the past-the danger of the present-that does not see in the defeat of Johnston and the election of Goodwin and re- publican president the domination of the negro in federal and state affairs?
 Believing that the instinct and pride of race will assert itself in the coming election, we only regard the problem as a thing to write about for Johnston is both right on silver and the negro.

His Position.

As the card of Mir J. A. Carlisle, which appeared in the Sun last week, did not say whether he would support the demo- cratic ticket or not, and as some have seen fit to misrepresent his position. we feel it our duty to MT. Carlisle and his friends throughout this county to say that he is an enthusiastic supporter of the ticket headed by Joseph F. Johnston. MT. Carlisle had proclaimed throughout nearly every beat dn Chambers county that he was a Jeffersonian democrat, and hybrid conglomeration put out at Mont- gomery. He compromises no principle when he comes out and indorses the plat form of the democratic party; to have a99ps otherwise he Ypgld csrtai9ly have spark of democracy left in his being can do otherwise than MT. Carlisle has d0iie is beyond our conception

They Are Coming Back.

Opellkd lNcWSs
 During the Oates canvass large num- Der of Kolb men in Bullock county re- turned to the "organized' democratic ranks, and in the Johnston-Clarke prima- ries 293 more of the same like realized themselves and are now fighting like Trojans for the democratic state ticket and white supremacy. A correspondent writes that the previous rent in the party in that county has completely healed. Such former Jeffersonians as James sJones, T. M. and Olive Hough, Asa Pows elk James D. Jenkins and other leaders
 have been placed on the regular demo- cratic county committee and sent as dele gates to the recent state convention which nominated Joe Johnston. Other ex-populsts are taking their chances for nomination in the pending democratic primaries for county officers, at the cor dial Invitation of the party authorities, and there are not fifteen white anti democrats left in the county, and they are without the necessary intelligence to organize the negroes. Nine-tenths of the negro leaders, preachers and school teachers and the colored masses are bit- terly opposed to fusion" They are reg istering largely, and voluntarily say they will vote openly for Johnston in August and Mckinley in November.

SIGNS THAT FORETELL "A GREAT VICTORY IN AUGUST

by the populists. I am democrat with the "collar off," There is no republican doctrine in me. I lived through recon struction days and do hope that we will never have to pass through such a dark period again. The democratic party all over these United States Is taking new hold upon old-time democratic principles, and when see this 1t puts new life in me and makes me rejoice. I am back at the firesde of old democracy-the democracy of my father-to stay, and am ready to do all can to elect the ticket headed by Joseph F. Johnston. the man who has been one and the same thing all these years-the champion of free silver in Alabama, and the true and tried friend of the people. J. B. RAMAGE.

Doesn't "Set We'll"

Edwardsville Standard-News.
 The idea of having to sit up until past midnight to learn from negro conven- ton for whom to vote for state officers does not set well upon the stomachs of white men in Alabama. This was what the Montgomery convention of the late populite party had to do. Candidate Goodwin approved, but the rank and file of the white men who composed that par ty resented the insult, and will repudiate the humiliating trade that Goodwyn and his gang of office seekers helped to force upon them.

The Mixture Is Too Nauseating.

DdUtVIIIt ftVTdIu.
 Hon. John s. Jones, ex-representative from Gold Branch beat, was in town Monday MT. Jones says the mixing up with the negro in the pop primaries has done the work for the pop party in his beat. The idea of voting the negro in their primaries, the white people of his beat can't and won't stand. Gold Branch beat will go almost solid for Cap- tain Johnston and democracy in August.

Divided by the Spells.

The pops and the reps are not dwell ing in brotherly love in many counties of the state. Reports of dissatisfaction over the division of the offices are nu- merous The pops refuse to support the negro and vice versa. A shoulder to shoulder fight by the democrats will elect the state ticket hands down, but in Madison county it will require good work to win against the combination.

Can't Stand the Truth.

West Alabama Breeze.
 It is amusing to hear the various ex- cuses given by pop when he decides to quit taking our paper. Just as well tell the truth, gentlemen; you can't fool US. You just simply can't stand to read the truth. Nothing more-nothing less.

Of All Men Most Miserable.
Leighton News.

Democrats are not all saints, neither are all church members. If you are backslider or have left either party on account of some crookedness, better get back and help to purify the erring ones by your presence, kindly advice and su- perior kuowledge at the same time re- member that if your stubborn heart will not allow you to make concessions to get back to the fold you are, and should be, of all men the most miserable.

This Is Candid.

The Banner-Advertiser, one of the leading populite papers of Alabama, has the candor and honesty to make the fol- lowing utterance: "We have fused with the republicans because we want the vote of every negro in Alabama next Au- gust for our ticket

The Prospect in Pickens.

Carrollton, June 5-(Special Corre- spondence.) 1.-The smelling committee, to which Warren Reese recently referred will not win in Pickens. R. F. Kolb is as dead as a door-nail in this section; not because he has no friends-it Is mainly due to the fact that the people grow weary of any person whose whole politi- cal career has been a succession of re- verses and grievances. The fight Is not now on the line of showing old sores. The populites, as has been predicted, have put out an excellent ticket in Pick ems. It is composed of good men, but it's element of weakness consists of the dis appointments of those who have been ex- pecting offices.
 The democrats have also good county ticket and have the advantage of our late brethren in many particulars. The leading one is that MT. Goodwin has some associates that the people of Pick ems remember, and they know that Chan dler and his allies have never conceded that Ala abama has the correct sort of gov- ernment under the constitution of the United States.

Four votes Short in Chilton.
