THE Baltimore press deserves great
credit for the publicity given to the
fak0advertisement men, who are con-
stantly on the alert to take in some in
nocent person by the glare and glitter
of the advertisement announcing that
first class horse belonging to widow
or person going to Europe, will be
sold at great sacrifice. As a rule
these advertisements are gotten up by
a miserable set of sharpers and should
be exposed, or made to suffer the
penalty of getting money under false
pretences.

Good Work in Closing Days-County is

Edwardsville, Oct. 31.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-Mr. E. H. Dryer, sound money" democratic candidate for con- gress, made speeches at Edwardsville, Fruithurst and Hefiin this week in the interest of his candidacy for congress. It is very probable, however, that MT. Dryer will not receive more than half a dozen votes, if any, in Cleburne county.
 Hons. J. B. Merrils, G. A. Robbins and ex-Gov. W. H. Smith, have made speeches in different parts of the county this week in favor of Bryan, Sewall and Plowman, and much good has been &C., complished for democracy and the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the tito of 16 to l.
 Governor-elect JosephF. Johnston and eX-Congressman Gaston A. Robbins ad- dressed the citizens of Cleburne county in the court house at this place last Friday. A very good crowd was out to hear them, and was very much pleased with the speeches. Cleburne has always been a free coinage county, and she will prove true to herself on next Tuesday by giv- ing to Bryan, Sewall and Plowman a ma jority of 250 or 300 votes. You may put Cleburne down all rgiht beyond any doubt.

Governor-Elect Johnston Didn't Come
 General Sanfords Speeches.
 Jacksonville, Oct 31.-(Special Core spondence.)-The published announce ment that Governor-elect Johnston and Gen. John w. A. Sanford would speak here today, brought to town large num- Der of our country people. without re- gard to former political persuasion or af- filiaton.
 The former gentleman failed to put in an appearance, no doubt for good req sons but nevertheless, to our great regret and greater disappointment, for there is no man in Alabama who would do so much to unite our people in the enthus- iastic support of Bryan and Sewall as he. Many who were obstinate and unrelent- ing in their support of A. T. Goodwin before the state election, are now as de- voted to Governor Johnston and will give his administration a most cordial sup port.
 General Sanford in powerful and con- vincing ST eech entertained and delighted his audience for more than an hour, and of democracy. There are but few men who have a stronger hold on our people than General Sanford. They know him well, and entertain higha dmiration for his great ability unfaltering confidence in his personal honesty and sincerity as wei, as for his unquestionable political integrity, and will not hesitate to follow where he leads. The political status of our county is very encouraging, indeed. The people will come nobly to the support of Bryan and Sewall, and give the two wings of the republican party their Wa terlooon the third de5' of November.

Curtis an un- cle of James J. Curtis, the republican nominee for congress, urging republicans to vote for Howard. The managers here immediately telegraphed James J. Curtis in regard to the matter, and the follow ing telegram was sent to s. c. Adams It Fort Payne:
 "Haleyville, Oct. 30, 1896. 'To s. C. Adams:
 "There is a letter circulated dated Double Springs, October 26, and mailed It Cullman signed by J. N. Curtis, urging all republicans to vote for Howard for congress. Said letter is a forgery; so ad- mitted by Curtis See that all republi- cans are notified of said forgery.
 JOHN S. CURTIS" Howard was reported as being drunk and guilty of disorderly conduct at Sul- phur Springs, DeKalb county, on Mon day, October 26.
 In corroboration of these facts MT. J. A. Hanna sent the following telegram to Chairman S. C. Adams:
 Sulphur Springs Ga., Oct. 31. "To s. c. Adams:
 Howard was drunk at station. Dis charged his pistol. Was drinking heavily at the Springs. References, Bert Holle- man and Joe Dean. J. A.
