INAPT COMPARISON.

The Birmingham State Herald seeks to
run away from its comparison of Cleve-
land and Carlisle to Catiline and Ceth-
egers CD 1t, no doubt, has discovered
that the character of Catiline was just
the antlpodes of that of Cleveland. Cat
lines bodily constitution, it Is related,
was capable of enduring any amount of
labor. He was burdened with many and
heavy debts. His followers were COM
nosed largely of insolvent debtors and
desperate adventures. He aspired TO the
oonslllship but being disappointed in this
and being burdened with many and
heavy debts, he saw no hope for him
self but in the changes of political rev.
olution He finally stimulated his sol
diers by an eloquent harangue, and
desperate battle enSued, in which Catl-
line was defeated and killed. Unless the
State Herald is ready to withdraw all
its previous charges against Mr.. CleVe-
land and his supporters, 1t must ADMIT
itself that there is no foundation for
calling Mr.. Cleveland the Catiline of the
democratic party There are quite a
number of free silver leaders to whom
the apellatlon would apply with much
more appropriateness, for instance Gov
Altgeld. Montgomery Advertiser.
Not at ALL The State Herald never
runs. When it errs it will acknowledge
up like a man. and say it is an terror of
the head and not of the heart II Cati-
lines bodily constitution could stand any
amount of labor" We still say Catiline
Cleveland is right in 1t. No man ever
worked harder and more successfully
to defeat the party that honored him
with the highest office in the gift OF the
people than our Grover. Yea, no man
ever fished harder. hunted harder. studied
harder how to keep away from the polls
to vote for his party nominee and EN-
dured" more '1abor," to furnish Wall
street with his Venezuelan proclamation
ahead of all others in order to increase
his bank account by speculation.
And as to being "burdened with many
heavy debts" we suppose that means
public debts. If Catiline beat $500, 000,-
900 in three years, we say give him the
medal-yes, two medals, and send
chrome of the goddess of liberty to be
hung over his tomb.
Catillne of old is none the less dishonor-
ed by having insolvent followers. Our
Catiline Grover went him several bet
ter and made insolvents of his followers
and didn't have destitute adventurers to
urge him on.
Catiline Cleveland never saw any hope
to be Consul" or King" but kept up
with Catillne by causing a political revo-
luton. He failed to stimulate his 'sol-
diers,Y however. possibly because he is
not eloquent. In this he may differ with
Catiline.
A desperate political battle ensued."
and Catiline Cleveland fished while his
subordinates led the battle. In this he
may not have been as brave as Catiline
OF old.
No, the State Herald is not yet ready
to admit Mr.. Cleveland Is not somewhat
OF "Catiline."

STAND BY THE OLD SHIP.

The State Herald has so far refrained
from taking any stand in the present
municipal contest, but the time has come
when 1t, as a recognized organ of true
democracy, must speak out for the main
tenance of the democratic party. The
municipal contest has narrowed down to
"A strict party fight and as the State
Herald has always been and in future
will be, found in the rank and file of true
democracy, it is now compelled to protect
that party from threatened local dis
ruption by calling upon all true support
ers of the democratic party to stand by
the old ship.
On Tuesday night within stones
throw of the State Herald office an Ems
len rally was held DIR. Mosely and other
reccznized leaders of the republican par
ty in Alabama, were present and made
speeches in advocacy of Mr.. Christian f.
Enslen for mayor. They said that they
spoke by the card in saying that Mr..
Enslen was not a democrat, and because
he was not democrat they desired his
election and the defeat of the regular
democratic ticket.
Last night another feature presented
itself. At Seals hall such true and tried
democrats as Hon. oscar w. Underwood,
representatives. to congress from the
Ninth district; Hon. John ]. Altman,
member of the lower house of the general
assembly of Alabama, and Hon. Robt. j.
LOVE-, chairman of the city democratic
campaign committee addressed an au-
dience of representative business men and
democrats dellneating the character into
which the campaign has developed and
called upon them to follow the flag of
true democracy and to beware of false
colors
Gaze upon the two pictures and let all
democrats who are democrats hurl their
casters into the ring and stand squarely
by the regular democratic nominees.

CHE INAUGUR ALTON.

The impression that the joint commit
tee on the inaugural have departed from
the wishes of Gov-elect Johnston in re-
gard to the military seems not to be
well founded. The committee were aware
OF the Govelnor-clect's wishes that no
ponp and display be made. in which they
concurred, and their programme seems
well conceived to make the Inaugural ton
plain, yet dignitied and in keeping with
democratic Institutions. They had in
formation that some local military COM
nanies and perhaps one or more from the
Governor-elect's home county might de-
sire, on their OVID motion, to be present
and take part, and they arranged their

marriage was a love match, the bride
and groom having been lovers in child
hood.
The beautiful Southern club house was
given it's coming-out party last night.
1t was a blaze of beauty. The broad
veranda, the halls, the ball room and the
parlors were alive with the gay throng.
Potted palms decorated the veranda; the
staircase was festooned with smilax;
the ball room was a dream of delicate
tints; in the parlors the mantels were
banked with smilax and ehrysanthe-
NUNS. The punch bowl containing
champagne punch, was in the curve of
the wide veranda which had been sur
rounded with canvass. Champagne was
the only wine, and was used all through.
The billiard hall had been transformed
into a dining room, and was arranged
with five tables, with seating capacity
of sixty people. The menu consisted of
salads, shell oysters, cold boned turkey,
cold roast turkey, tongue, fresh lobster
salad, chicken salad, Neapolitan ice
cream, cake. fruit. coffee, and displayed
the artistic taste of Mr.. C. HI. Nabb. The

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
A new constitution is what Alabama
needs. Push the subject to the front
and we will secure one.-Warrfor Breeze.
The sentiment in Alabama in favor of
a constitutional convention is growing
stronger every day, and IL the legislature
does not disregard the wishes of the peo-
pie it will certainly arrange for the call
ing of a onvention.-Anpiston Hot
Blast. = g&
The press of the state is strongly adj
vocating a new constitution for Ala
bama. No one will deny that we need
one that Is up-to-date in every particu-
lar. The present constitution has served
its time. and should be put on the hon.
orary list. We trust that the general as
sembly will pass a bill looking to the
holding of a constitutional convention
in the near future.-News
Let US have a constitutional conven-
ton. The people are demanding 1t and
the interests of Alabama make it I'M
perative. The desire has become we'll
nigh unanimous, and we have observed
no opposition of any consequence to the
movement. If our state senator's and
representatives disappoint the people In
this matter during the present session OF
the general assembly they will have
failed to honestly represent their respec-
tive constituencies, and will obstruct the
comemrcial educational and Industrial
interests of our state beyond esttana te.s-

Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-11-26
The editorial reads thusly:

Alabama politics rather tires one, yet
there Is much instruction in it, If one goes
below the crust. Each year the populist
and republican politicians make a loud
outcry and promise to make q vigorous
push and carry the state. for somebody
against the democrats. Then the cleo
ton is held and both of these parties are
found to be badly beaten. Thereupon,
they cry fraud and false counting and
sometimes threaten a revolution. Final
ly they sit down quietly and accept the
situation. Next year they play the same
farce again.
THE Alabama republican politicians
seem to be an especially pusillanimous
lot. They make much cutlery, come to
the north and ask fer aid and promise
very grand results. This year, for ex-
ample Generals Vaughan and Burke, of
the state committee, came on to New
York about the middle of October, re-
neWed their promises and asked for as
sistance and with 1t they would go home
and do the rest. They got themselves
into the New York papers, so that their
greatness would impress the people at
home.
They went back again to their state
to carry it fer Mckinley, sound money
and prosperity That Is the swelling
way they put the case. At last the cleo
ton came; on election night bulletins
from Alabama reported great republican
gains. 1t thus seemed that these lead
ers were getting in their line work. But
the next day the incorporating returns
dispeled the illusions which they sought
to create. The democratic majority was
fully up to expectations all their OPP
ponents were beaten. The republicans
were In ridiculous minority, in view of
their pretensions. They had made bluff
and won contempt. But in two days
more they get their wind again and rose
up in simulated Indignation to cry fraud.
Like a case in court, they rested right
there.
I'VE say these Vaughans, Burkes and
men of their kidney. are pusilanimouS. If
they had real convictions and were in
earnest and were men of courage and
character, they would talk less and work
more and stand by their principles, and
try an election out to the end-they
would prove their charges of alleged
fraud If they had any faith in them
that Is, If they were true. In the vernacu-
lar of a certain class they are blowers
"What do these men seek? Why, to get
the attention of Mckinley. They want to
win a standing with the next administra-
ton which will dispense federal offices in
Alabama among the faithful All the
fuss and fury which they make are to
prove that they are the faithful and
ought to hold the offices. No northern
man should think there is any moral
political purpose or any downright sim
certify in such men. Go to, Burke and
Vaughan and the rest of such breed!
Give Alabama a rest. Is there no instruc-
tiou in thiS ?n

A CARD.
Mr.. Lowrey Speeds the Parting Guest
and Wishes Him Well. p

To w. S. Smith.-Dear Sir: Your card.
or rather Mr.. Evans card, in the after
noon papers, is no surprise in one sense
of the word, but the manner of serving
the notice is. You ara not the first traitor
we have discovered, but you have beenion
the spotted list some days. You state an
untruth when you say'you are campaign
chairman. You know that you were only
elected as "a league chairman some
months ago, and your services were never
called for in running the campaign. The
undersigned was elected chairman of the
campaign some weeks ago. We have
about cleared the headquarters of trait
ors. and will keepa weather eye out from
date. Our success Is assured, and all
kinds of subterfuges are being resorted to
to deceive the people. Mr.. Lowrey Is In
the race to finish. In bidding a kind
adieu to you, Mr.. Smith, we trust you
have provided for your family, and that
you win not forget the future.
Very truly.

Chairman Lowrey Campaign.
