BIRMINeHAM, Ala, Aug 5.-There re-
mains no doubt that the Democratic nom
inee for governor has swept Alabama and
that the new state Legislature will be DEM
ocratic by large gains over 1894.
At Democratic headquarters last night
the following former Populist counties are
claimed to be absolutely certain for the
Democrats: Blount, Butler Barbour,
Clay, Coffee, Cullman, Dale, De Kaib,
Etowah, Lee, Limestone, Randolph Tus-
ealoosa Walker Winston. The Democrats
also claim Coyington, Colbert, Pike and
COneouh, which were carried by the Pop
ulists In 1894
The majority for Joseph F.-Johnston,
the Democratic candidate for governor, Is
placed at as, 600. The Democratic nnajori-
ty over Populist and Republican oombi-
nation at the last gubernat0rlal eleotion,
In 1894, was %, se8.
GOodwyn, the Populist candidate for
governor, says the POpulists will put out
Bryan and Watson electors, because the
election, he alleges, was swindle and
prevents cooperation between Populists
and Democrats. He says this action will
hurt Bryan In Alabama, but that the
blame rests on the Democrats

stands upon II and whose election will
mean that the platform which they have
themselves denounced as a singular com
bination OF lunacy and villainy shall be
Incorporated Into the statute laws Of this
country"
VIII support Mckinley.
"Will you support Major Mckinley out.
right or do you favor the nomination of
another Democratic tioketf"
II believe that all Democrats who are SO
thoroughly in favor OF sound money that
they place the defeat of Bryan above the
interests of any organization or party
skould meet in convention for the purpose
of considering the form and method by
which they can give the greatest efficiency
TO their opposition. For my part do not
believe that the nomination OF other can
didates for president and vice president
however eminent and deserving they
might bs personally or politically, would
servo any useful purpose. Nobody be-
Iieves that they could be elected, and any
Democrat whose hostility TO PopulisDAand
Republioanism would not allow him TO
support either Bryan or Mckinley could
show his opposition TO both by remaining
at home on election day quito as well as
by voting for third ticket. 1t would be
AhoAo oohNonAohb W lAinhdil individually
and would not create visible separation
between himself and his party organiza-
tion."
Your obvious policy, then, would be
"a indorse the Mckinley electorsY"
Precisely. The Democrats who will
have achieved the success of their finan-
oial plank by the election Of Mckinley
VIII yet constitute an opposition to the
Republican party the day after election,
based on principles which are certain to
be ultimately adopted by the American
people. What Is needed therefore is not a
new ticket but new platform, which
will declare in unmistakable language
the cardinal features of the party faith,
and which, while indorsing Mckinley
electors will provide for a really DEM
ocratic opposition to the Mckinley admin
istration during the period of Its exist
enoe. "

MAUD MULLER.
BY n. A. VAN FREDENBERe.


Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth.
OF large red freckles and first-rate health.
Singing, she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from town,
Upon the hill slope, coasting down.
The sweet song died, and q vague unrest
And a sort of terror filled her breast
a fepr that She hardly dared TO own,
Fofwhat II her wheel should strike a stone
The Judge scorched swiftly down the
road-
just then she heard his tire exploiel
He carried his wheel into the shade
Of the apple tree, to await the maid.
And he asked her II she would kindly loan
Her pump 30 him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with spriehtly jump,
Ana In less than jiffy had produced her
And she blushed as she gave it, looking
down
At her feet once hid by a trailing gown
Then said the Judge, as he pumped avny;
IT'S very fine weather we'er having to
day"
He spoke Of the grass and flowers and
trees;
OF twenty miles runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her blooiners hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack a-day.
The Judge remOunted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed. t,Ab mef
That the Judges bride might be
MY father should have brand nay wh eel
vi the costiiest make and the finest steels
And I'd giyeone to ma of the same design
SO that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back as he clined the
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"A prettier face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed at, declared afr.
Would she were mine, and 1 to-day
could make her put those boomers away
But he thought of his sisters, proud and
cold,
And he shuddered to think how they wouId

Who had never suocumbed to the bloom

Yet, oft while watching the smoke " reaths

He thought of the freckled bloomer girl;
Ofthe way she stood pigeo1i-toed.
While he was pumping beside the roa Il.
She married a man who clerked in A store
Ana many children played round her
door.
And then her bloomers brought her ioyl

But still Of the Judge she often tbouqbt

the nefarious law recently passed forbid
ding the instruction of white and color

in the past few weeks number Of
prominent workers Of the American

been imprisoned. II seems hardly con-
ceivable that such state Of affairs can
exist within the bounds of the United

Now that Rcynoldsville has II public
school house that is credit to the
place, the next thing the town most
needs is a public library. There are
many towns throughout the country,
much smaller than Reynoldsville, that
are maintaining respectable libraries
and reading rooms; and there is no
reason why this town should not do the
same. Business men and public spirit
ed citizens would find that money invcs-
ted in this way would yield an abundant
return. The best way to preserve law
and order is not to maintain powerful
police force. but to educate the people.
The public school, the public library
and reading room will do much toward
the realization of this end. There are
many young men in Reynoldsville, who
spend their idle moments lounging
about the streets who would be greatly
benefited by public library and read
ing room. And in the end the town
would be enriched by the possession Of
a more intelligent class OF citizens.
Let the leading citizens of Reynolds
vile arouse themselves in this matter:
let thorough canvass be made and it
will be found that the people of the
community are not only ''book hungry
but that they are willing to contribute
literally towards such a movement.
