CONVENTION.


IDSLS----
The county republican, conven-
ton for the election of - delegates
to represent Whitman county in
the state convention to select the
eight delegates to St. Louis, met at
Colfax Thursday, and proceeded
with the business in hand with
harmony and dispatch. A NJ.
Craven, of Colfax, was made chair
man, and after the temporary or
ganization and the appointment of
committees on credentials and res
oIutions, an adjournment was taken
till one O'clock. In the afternoon
the following platform was adopted:
The representative OF the republican
party of Whitman county, in convention
assembled, reallirm their allegiance to
the principles OF the republican party,
vindicated by years OF prosperity IN all
branches OF industry, and maks the toI-
lowing declaration OF principles:
We believe in protective tariff on all
American products, not only equal to
the difference in wages at home and
abroad, but sufficiently high to foster
and encourage home industry and to give
employment to our own people and afford
market for our own products, and to
maintain thereby a balance OF trade IL
our feyor.
We believe in the principles OF recip
rocity, and favor the encouragement o
trade with American republics.
We believe t. srue bi -metalhsm, 10
wit: The free coinage OF both gold anC
/ silver at the time honored and logica
ratio OF Is to l.
We demand the rigid enforcement o
/ the law against the importation OF for
! eign Workmen under contract, to take
/ the place OF American labor, and the en-
actment and enforcement OF laws which
shall restrict the immigration into ou
country of all save the most desirable
class ofimmigrants.
We insist that all classes of property
both real and personal, other than gov
ernment, state and county, shall bear Its
lust and equal burden OF taxation.
We denounce the democratic free trade
measure passed by the last congress
known as the "Wilson Bill" and de-
mand its immediate repeal.
We charge the democratic party with
the sole responsibility OF the increased
/ bonded Indebtedness OF the United States
and to their mismanagement OF the al
fairs of the country, the incalculable loss
resulting from the panic of 1898.
Resolutions were also adopted
favoring the Helm-Morgan railroad
bill, and also one eulogizing VIM.
Mckinley, whose name was always
received with cheers.

WILL, TRY 1T AGAIN,

One of the secrets of the success of the
Montgomery organ of the REPUBLIC
AN AID SOCIETY in so completely con-
trolling the democracy of Alabama in
the very recent past was it's vicious as
saults on honored and honest party lead
ers, such as Senators Morgan and Pugh,
Captain Johnston and others. 1t worked
so well that Senator Morgan was unani-
mously reelected to the senate in 1894
over the powerful opposition of the Ad-
vertiser.
Being so we'll pleased with the result,
it opened up early in 1896 on Captain
Johnston and Senator Pugh in the same
vicious manner and style that 1t had
pursued towards Senator Morgan in 1894
The result was Captain Johnston was
nominated by the party for governor by
the most overwhelming majority ever re-
ceived by candidate for the democratic
nomination for that office in Alabama
who had any opposition for the position.
At that result we have every reason to
believe the Advertiser was equally as
well pleased as it was at the result in
the case of Senator Morgan.
Being DESTROYS now of turning the cleo
toral vote of Alabama over to McKin-
ley, the organ Of the REPUBLICAN AID

NOT MUCH OF A FREAK.
Report Made to the City Editor by the
Serious Man.

oerlOuS MILL.
New York Recorder.
The serious faced man approached the
city EDITORS desk with the Importance of
person who was about to give an imi-
tation of Napoleon crossing the Alps.
Would you like to have an interesting
item for your paper?" he inquired eau
tiously
That's what we are here for re-

And he is not in a freak shown"
"Of course not; he's neighbor of
mine. He moved here last week from
Shiawassee county"
Does he attempt to explain how he
got the color?"
HE never did to me-"
"WiH he see reporter"
Il suppose so. Any way, I can take
one up with me and introduce him.
This was satisfactory and the reporter
was assigned to go with the serious faced
man to see the freak. He returned in
half an hour.
"Well?" inquired the city editor when
he appeared.
Didn't get to see him." answered the
reporter. "He wasn't at home, but
would be tonight at o'clock. Here's a
note from your friend, though" and the
reporter delivered a missive The city
editor read 1t and banged it down on the
desk. The reporter read it; it was very
brief; it was as follows: "Sir, l omitted

have betrayed. He proposes no remedy
for the evils he confesses to exist except
the perpetual ton in an aggravated form
of their causes. He asserts that the re-
peal of the Mckinley tariff was unwise;
and by this he means that its re-enact-
ment would be wisdom. He offers abso-
lutely no relief from the horrors which
gold monometallism has brought upon
the country, but its perpetuation, which
he says will restore confidence and en-
able us to borrow more money from
abroad, when we are now unable under
1t to pay interest on what we already
owe His idea of prosperity for this
country seems to be condensed in a few
words: "Spend all you can, borrow all
you can, let the bondholders have the
land and the devil take the .peoplen
This man Reed never had a kindly feel
ing for our southern people, or even for
western people. He knows little of them
and cares still less about them. They
have no rights which he feels bound to
respect. To count a quorum when there
is none; to organize committees of his
creatures who will trample on truth and
justice and the sovereign rights of the
people by turning out their chosen rep
resentatives and seating others of his
creatures, to pay his electioneering debts
to them, are his highest distinctions and
chief joys, and illustrates his best con-
ceptions of craftsmanship. No southern
or western patriot can ever make Sc
rious stake when he says mo to
whatever is proposed or favored by him.
They can safely do all that he would OPP
pose and oppose all that he would do.

An Open Letter.

Augusta Chronicle.
Mr.. T. c.. DeLeon, who was for many
years editor of the Mobile Register, has
written an open letter to the democratic
press, which we publish in the Chronicle
with great pleasure. The erstwhile edi-
tor still Yields polished and trenchant
pen. His appeal sounds like the clear,
resonant and soul-inspiring notes OF
silver horn in the hands of an expert
performer. Everywhere, says the ae-
complished journalist, 1.-THE silver craze,
If such it be, has swept from west to
south with the rush of prairie fire.
catching the sympathies, the brains and
souls of men-because 1t is human. 1t is
sweeping eastward with the same resist
less swirl Every tick of the telegraph
echoes it's roar over agricultural New
York and sends them back from the hills
of New England. In its broad glare men
see the walls of Tammany and OF Fanuel
lit up by the same craze" He enjoins
the democratic press to rally their read
ers for democracy and to shout their bat
tie cry of Bryan and victory" without
one qualifying 'if'-one single weaken
ing but" He closes his appeal with
pet quotation of his grand old colleague,
the late Col. John Forsyth with whom
Mr.. DeLeen was associated for many
years on the editorial department of the
Mobile Register: HE who dallies is das-
tard: he who doubts is damned"

soon put to right the colossal debts which
are wholly the legacy of the gold policy
liabilities without assets, interest and
principal demands without net earnings
to meet them.
We need no British policy of gold. No
buyers policy. On the contrary we need
an American policy, a selling policy.
Gus in our home trade our foreign trade
can the better stand whatever competi-
ton may have in store. If we prosper
on 95 per cent of our production the 5 per
cent of exports can be taken care of. We
cannot prosper on a gold standard.

The result of the election last Monday
demonstrates one thing beyond perad-
venture, and that is that the state exec
utive committee acted wisely in letting
the bars down last January. That act
on the part of the committee went long
way towards bringing back into the par
ty the 900 to 10000 men who voted for
Kolb in 1894, but declined to vote for
Goodwin and voted the democratic tick
ct last Monday. Those who are unwilling
to concede now that policy which in
one single election results in the return
of IL, 900 voters to the ranks of democracy
in Alabama was wise policy indeed are
not friends to the party.

ONE EASY JOB AND ONE HARD JOB.

ONE EASY JOB AND ONE HARD JOB.
The Montgomery organ of the RE-
PUBLICAN AID SOCIETY, the Adver-
User, proclaims as one of it's undertake
ings something which appears to us, and
which we think will appear to every in
telligent man in Alabama as the easiest
job that a paper could possibly under
take to do. That paper says;
1--WE are trying to bring about ticket
that will prevent hundreds of thousands
of democrats. in this broad land from
voting for Mckinley"
Now, that is a proclamation by the
Advertiser that it is trying to do some
thing to prevent democrats, yea, hun
dreds of thousands of democrats, from
doing what? From voting for McKin-
ley. Imagine a democrat voting for Nc
Kinley Mckinley will not get a single
democratic vote
That is one engagement the organ Of
the REPUBLICAN AID SOCIETY has
made which 1t can safely count on keep
ing. Democrats everywhere will abstain
from voting for the republican nominee,
and no power on earth can prevent the
Advertiser from claiming that it did it.
However, everybody will know that the
result would have been the same any
way.
But there is one job the organ of the
REPUBLICAN AID SOCIETY has I'M
dertaken which it is bound to fail to ac-
complish, and that is to keep democrats
from voting for the nominee of the ma
tional democratic party for president.
Every democrat in the United States
who can reach the polls on the first
Tuesday in November will cast his vote
for the nominee of the party.
Democrats are as careful to vote the
democratic ticket as they are to refrain
from voting the republican ticket.

SOCIETY, 1t appears, has resolved to
use the same methods used by it in its
efforts to defeat Morgan in 1894 and
Johnston in 1896.
We find the following in yesterdays
issue of the organ: q
1.-THE change must be in Captain john
ston, Senator Morgan, Senator Pugh and.
the State Herald. They must have got
ten on the platform of Kolb, Bowman,
Adams and the Tribune. And that is
just what has happened. Those former
democratic leaders have gone in with
the gang of opportunists who controlled
the Chicago convention and obliterated
every democratic landmark they could
in the wild pursuit of votes for free sill
YER"
OF course abuse and misrepresentation
of Morgan, Pugih, Johnston and other
leading democrats in the past has en-
abled the Montgomery organ to carry it's
point and will prove successful in the
same way in the coming election. 1t is
clearly evident from the above that one
of the main arguments CD the organ of
the REPUBLICAN AID SOCIETY in
Alabama expects to indulge in in its eff
fort to elect Mckinley is abuse and will
full Misrepresentation of distinguished
and honored leaders of the democracy of

AN HONEST BoLTER.

We have always liked Thomas II.
Clark, Esq, of Montgomery. Tom Is
genial, hale, hearty fellow well met. 1t
was with real regret that we read of his
departure from the democratic party.
Tom had been highly honored already
for a man of his age by the party in Ala
bama. Had he remained true to the
faith and party nothing that has not
transpired already is surer than that
higher political honors awaited him.
They are gone now.
What promised to be brilliant career
has come to an abrupt close. A young
man who but a few days ago one would
have been justified ir prophecying would
some day become the governor Of this
great state stands today forever barred
from political preferment. In an evil
hour he took the fatal step, from which
he can never return. He may, and doubt
less will, return to the democratic fold,
for Tom is too nice young man to re-
main permanently in the republican par
ty, but he can never blot out the mis-
take he has made in boiling the party.
1t will prove a barrier of political prefer
ment when he comes home again.
But the State Herald desires to COM
mend Mr.. Clark for one thing, and that
is, he does not attempt to go out and sail
under false colors He says plainly that
he is boiling the regularly organized
democratic party and declining to sup
port a platform and ticket put forth by
convention of the party in every re-
spect regular and honestly and fairly in
possession of the power and authority
to declare what is and what is not de-
mocracy. He says the Chicago platform
proclaims the tenets of the democratic
party in this country. In those tenets he
has concluded he does not and cannot be-
lieve, and therefore he is not democrat
and bolts the party.
There has not a cleverer young man
| than Tom Clark bolted the party, and
| so far he is the only bolter we know of
| who has had the inherent honesty and
candor to come out plainly and state
| that he has simply bolted the party and
| is no longer a democrat.
| We bid our friend Tom adieu with tears
| in our eyes, and while we know he Is
bound to return, we know also that he
will come back "ruint."

We find the following in yesterdays
issue of the Montgomery organ of the
REPUBLICAN AID SOCIETY:
THE course of the Chicago convention
would justify anything that could be
suggested in Alabama"
That is pretty broad, we must admit;
but new converts are always very jealous
and oftentimes indiscreet. We call to
mind the fact that it was suggested in
the meeting of the REPUBLICAN AID
SOCIETY in Montgomery Tuesday that
no third ticket be put out by the advo-
Gates of the British single gold standard
who have bolted the democratic party, in
order that they, the boilers, might vote
for Mckinley. Now you have it from
the Advertiser straight that it is prefer
able to vote for Mckinley rather than
the democratic nominee.
