The New Gold Policy.

NaShyille Sun.
 Josiah Patterson was sent all over the south to intermeddle in elections in other states for the purpose of disorganizing and defeating free silver democrats. He Is now engaged to go to Missouri for the same purpose. Dick Clarke of Alabama was sent to Alabama to defeat the de- mocracy in that state, and if Johnston gets the nomination the administration will knife him at the polls. They want Cleveland gold standard party, with Cleveland to lead 1t In 1S96, or they want a sweeping gold standard republican vic- tory. In the face of these facts we are told that we must have harmony with these men, who openly ally themselves with republicans to defeat the democrat ic party. They are executing the orders of Wall street, which has spoken through the New York chamber of commerce, dema nding of both the old parties gold standard candidate. The new gold par ty is a fact and a very aggressive fact. It will go to both conventions and try to capture both, but failing in that 1t will put out gold standard candidate re- gardless of party. The eastern press is full of it and they will make their mouth pieces come to 1t here as soon as 1t is ex- pedient.

that of all political economists of note. If you are a bimetallist and oppose the free coinage of silver read what MT. Manning says bimetallism is and see if you are not mistaken:
 ''1. Mints open to the public for the free coinage of gold.
 "2. Mints open to the public for the free coinage of silver.
 g. Coined gold a full legal tender.
 A. Coined silver a full legal tender
 "5. Mints open to the public for the free coinage of silver and gold.
 "6. Rated equivalence of both metals in such coinage, fixed by states powerful enough to make and keep it prevalent"

The late Governor Greenhalge of Mas sachusetts, who recently died in office, was one of the most picturesque men in New England, if not in the entire coun- try. He was of English birth, of supe- rior cultuse and with strong tastes for official display, probably derived from in herited respect for royal magnificence. It is said that when he and his military staff appeared in public ceremonies it was the most gorgeous sight in New En- gland. His speeches glttered with ar tifcial gems of rhetoric People laughed at his extravagances with sort of re- spect for the man. While they smiled they appreciated that he was not ridic- ulous. He was very able and honest public officer

It is a. we'll known fact that mem In Morgan county were intimidated to such an extent that in order to hold their jobs they refrained from being outspoken for Johnston, yet secretly voted for him. These men the Clarke leaders naturally claimed for Clarke.

Johnston will carry Jefferson just as sure as the day comes for holding the election, and every man in the city of Birmingham at all posted knows this full well. If they talk otherwise it is only for effect or from the lack of in- formation.

Resuscitated republicanism in South Carolina Is showing such evidences of strength that the Charleston News (dem) thinks it necessary to caution the demo- crats to hold aloof from the republican clubs.
