rHRY MADE CONVERTS.

The determined effort of the repre- seutatives of Wall and Lombard streets to control the Chicago convention had it's effect. They did not control the con vention, but they made thousands or converts to the peoples cause. Here IS what J. S. Thompson, president of the First National bank of Lacon, Ill., says:
 eve do not have one Chicago paper to advocate the great cause, yet It IS spreading fast. I have been a goldbug democrat, as the term goes, yet when l saw the Wall street crowd, who have ruled the national conventions of both parties for many years, kick because they could no longer cruelty the Ameri- can people on a cross of gold, 1 made up my mind to come out solid for w. J. Bryan and the whole ticket. l have been president of the First National bank of this city for many years and have per sonal loans to the amount or $50o,o00 Tn Nebraska, and 1 am willing to trust the American people, headed by w. J, Bryan. If the St. Louis gold platform is the thing why do they want to change 1t when England will let them? The Amer ican people cannot be fooled any longer with the old scapegoat with his golden horns. He has bucked the life out of all farmers and all working people, who will rise up this fall and send Mckinley with his crown of thorns, that the more taxes you pay the richer you get, and put Mark Hanna on the old scapegoat with its gol- den horns and send the whole lot where McGinty went-into the bottom of the sea- have been looking back in history to find an equal to the present oppres- sion which the republican party is try ing to clinch on the American people for four years more, and there is no equal since the Pharoahs of Egypt. Bryan and Sewall will be the Moses to lead out nPnnla prosperity and happiness will once more return to our country"

government can cast a ballot for Good wyn, who has outraged it.

In the Chicago democratic platform there is not one statement of the doctrine which has not had the earnest indorse- ment and support of all the great pa- triots and trusted leaders of the people of this country. and of the people them selves, during the first seventy years of the republics life. Yet platform which Jefferson and Jackson, Clay and Calhoun would all approve, subscribe and support if living is sneered at by footpad finan- ciers and postoffice politicians and stock gamblers as "anarchistic," "incendiary" and revolutionary" What shall we have next?

LETTER FROM SENATOR MORGAN.
The Grand Old Man Regrets That He Can- not Take Part in the Campaign.
 Marl1etnn pa Il11v 15


 not Take Part in the Campaign.
 Markleton, Pa, July 15. MT. J. A. Rountree, General Manager State Herald. Birmingham, Ala Dear Rountree: Enclosed you will find an address to the people of Ala bama, which you will please publish in the Sunday State Herald. I would be very glad to have you send as many copies as you can afford to persons who do not take the paper. so as to give it circulation in our state.
 My physician here, a very great one and a silver enthusiast, refuses to per- init me to go on the stump until I grow much stronger. I am much disappoint- ed in missing the opportunity to work for Johnston and the state ticket. It is the one campaign in which I feel the great est interest and pride, and I am chagrfn- ed that I have not been able to assist. Yet I know that all is well, and that every man in the state who can work is doing his best. Our success seems to be entirely assured. You will gather from this address what think of Bryan, yet speak of him with less enthusiasm than I feel.
 Hoping all will be well and victory will be ours in the August and November elections, I am sincerely yours.
 JOHN T. MORGAN.

srArp DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

 We. the democrats of the state of Ala hama. in convention assembled, declare our continued faith in the old time and honored principles of the democratic party, and among these principles are the following: silver and gold at 16 to 1 as the standard money of the country, without any dis crlnination against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, ms the United States coined silver and gold before the republican party ob- fained control of the government and changed the coinage laws of the country for the benefit of a class and to the in- fury of a great mass of the people.
 ?. The unconstitutional penalty of 10 ne- centum on each issue of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed.
 if ia our purpose to maintain govern nent in this state fair and just to all. under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 he maintained untarnished
 Our system of public education should he improved and extended so far as the state has the ability, without oppressive taxation. .
 We are in favor of honest and fair elections and we recommend that laws be enacted under which primary cleo tions and other party proceedings for the selection of candidates may be con- ducted.
 We cordially invite all good citizens of this state, and especially all democrats who strayed from the party to unite with us in an earnest and determined ef- fort to maintain good government in the state of Alabama.
 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace and, if possible, the prosperity of our state.

ONE wANDERER RETURNS.

The State Herald heartily welcomes the Mobile Register back into the demo- cratic fold. It went out only six or eight days ago, and therefore did not remain out long enough to become contaminated. In coming back to the party and resolv- ing to stand with its people. the Register lhas acted wisely. We shall now expect yeoman service for the party and the ticket at its hands.

While our money shark republicans are trying to place upon the head of the downtrodden a crown of thorns and cru cify them on cross of gold there is large number of this old party who recall to memory that honest Abe Lincoln once wore home made galluses, and young Bryan was born and reared in the Lin co1n iphborhOod

What He Said.
Hlrmingham. Ala. July IS, 1896.

BITmlfIB IIHIII hnts, JUIy 10, IoJU To the State Herald:
 Tn referring to my few remarks de- livered at Capitol park last night you made an error, which please correct.
 My language was: England has her monarchy; America her republic. Eng land has her gold standard; America will have her double standard. England has her grand old man; America her grand young man." In closing, I said: sI have the honor of belonging to the strongest political organization in Jefferson coun- ty, which will give its solid vote of 10700 to Captain Johnston and the entire coun- ty ticket" Respectfully,

The southern white man who votes for Mckinley or would contribute to his elec- tion by voting for a candidate for the presidency of the bolting gold standard democrats CD writes himself down an enemy of the people among whom he lives. Mckinley was conspicuous in his advocacy of the force bill.

He Wanted Democratic Truth.

WarrlOr Index.
 The other day a prominent Kolbite walked into our office and said:. Have you a State Herald or some other good democratic paper that I can get?" We asked him why he wanted a democratic paper and he said: Because I am a democrat. I don't want any more Good wynism in mine." This man was an ex- treme Kolbite two years ago, but has decided to come back to the fold.

The Montgomery Advertiser is using it's every effort to get up an opposition ticket to the democratic party and at the same time advising the managers of the party 1t has bolted how they should con- duct the campaign. As Colonel Hubbard would say in child parlance: "Misther Advertiser, please tshow us how ee tur- key peeps oyer a log"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-07-19

The gold standard organs that are at tempting to depreciate MT. Bryan on ac- count of his age are frivolously incon- sistent. Hon. William E. Russell, who was advocated by many of them for the nomination, and would have been sup ported by all of them for election, was only three years older than the demo- cratic nominee, who has risen by force of his own talents and splendid abilities to higher distinction than any man of his age has ever attained in this country

Herr Most, the crazy anarchist of New York, antagonizes the Chicago platform and its nominees, and will support Me- Kinley. This worthy's highest aspira- tion is to enthrone calamity and ruin, and organize hell on earth. He therefore logically and wisely. from his standpoint, adopts the best means to secure the ends he desires, namely, to help inaugurate the reign of McKinleyism, Hanna and poodle. which cannot fail soon to bring about the consummation of his hopes and aims

Have you forgotten that William Me Kinley in 1890 lead his party in the in- famous house of representatives that cursed the country with the Mckinley tariff and the "cowardly makeshift" known as the sherman law, both so ter ribly denounced by the democratic plat form of 1892, and that the same body, un- der his leadership, passed the accursed force bill. from which the country was barely saved by the democratic party reinforced by the free silver republican senators, Teller, Wolcott, Jones.

The exports of merchandise from the United States increased over 900 during the last fiscal year as compared with the preceding year. But for the de- preciation of the values of commodities, due to the gold standard, the returns from this excess of American produc- tions sold in foreign markets would have been much greater. Nevertheless, the fact shows that the present tariff law Is doing what it was intended 1t should,
 and that is giving a wider market for American productions and manufactures.
