rHEY ARE COMING.

The nopulists have everywhere de-
clared that they would not go into the
democratic primaries, and 50 the 800 eX-
ira votes in Morgan must have come
from the republicans whom the state
Herald describes 50 vigorously
gomery Advertiser.
So also have the republicans declared
that they would not go into the demo-
cratic primaries. Neither the republi-
cans nor populists have been invited to
come into the primaries. All qualified
voters who believe in the principles of
democracy and who will support the
democratic nominees, are invited to par
ticpate in the democratic primaries.
Populites and republicans do not believe
matter of course they are not going to
participate in the democratic primaries.
The 500 men who returned to the party
in Morgan county, Mr.. Advertiser, are
men who believe in the principles of de-
mocracy and who will support the DEM
ocratic nominees. OF course it is alarm
ing to you, but they are coming, dear
Advertiser they are coming. They are
coming 500 strong, on an average, in ev-
cry county in the state. Their coming
BODIES no good for Advertiserism, but it's
good for the party. You had as well
make up your mind to take it, The boys
from over the branch are going to meet
you at the hatters this time. You drove
them from the party; now look sharp
and don't leave the party because they
have returned and you can't control
them.

SOUTHERN TRADE COMING TO CHI
CAGO.

The south and the west are getting to-
gether in an unexpected way. Finan-
cially there has been harmony of error
in those two sections, but not until this
winter has there been much promise of
commercial intercourse such as would
turn southeastern trade Chcagoward.
That movement is now visible. As yet
the business is heavy, but it is growing
steadily, and Is sufficient to cause dis
turbance in the eastern markets. II Chi
cago should capture any considerable
proportion of New Yorks southern trade
there would then be good cause for some
of the asperities now placed on exhibit
ton by the people of Gotham whenever
their western rivals are mentioned
Washington Star.
Now is the time to push the cotton
exposition. Nothing would tend more
greatly to cement the south and the west
than to make Chicago great cotton
market. 1t will be done when Chicago
aids the south to spin our cotton at
home. If we can remove the spindles
and looms from 1.-The east to- the south
the citizens of Gotham may parade as
much as they please without the old Con-
federateS.

Taking a total of thirty-four ships.

Making total of thrty-four ships.
The above list does not include any of
the old turreted monitors, nor any of the
old cruiser class. either of wood or iron.
though doubtless some of them might be
serviceable in war with any but first
class naval power.
Referring to the fighting capacity of
some of the ships in commission, Commo-
dore Hichborn says:
1.-THE Indiana, Oregon, Massachusetts,
and Iowa are battleships, and the finest
of their class afioat. They can fight on
even terms with any ship thet was ever
launched and, in my opinion, they are
superior to 50 per cent of any vessels
with which they may ever come In con-
tact.
'"rhe Spanish navy has but one vessel
that compares with our battleships. That
is the Pelayo, which has about the same
displacement, thickness of armor and
speed, but carries in her main battery
two IL and two 11-inch guns, as against

1T MEANS A HEAP.

According to the State Heralds fig
ures from the Morgan county primary
there were 1856 votes cast. In the cleo
ton of 1894 Governor Oates received on
liz 1861. Therefore there were 304 more
votes cast in the primary than in the
election. Does this mean that 300 DEM
ocrats staid away from the polls in '94
or that 800 populists took advantage of
letting down the bars Montgomery
Advertiser 7at
1t means that 300 men. yea 500 men
white men, if you please-who followed
Kolb out of the party in 1892 and 1894
have returned to the ranks of the party
which they helped to establish and make
invincible In the state under the liberal,
intelligent and timely invitation of the
state democratic executive committee.
Yes it means even more than that. 1t
means the death of Advertiserism, which
is the same in Alabama as Gormanism
was. in Maryland. 1t means that the
white people of this state are going to
reunite and relegate to the rear all such
agencies as the Advertiser, which came
near destroying the. party in this state.
1t means your death knell dear Adver-
