THINGS DRAMATIC.

To Ex-Gov. Bob" Taylor of Tennessee is accorded the honor of being the great est stump speaker of the age, and he has always sustained this well-earned repu- tation through all of his political cam paigns. But although he has perfect control of his hearers when on the stump, he is just as much at home be- hind the footlights His audiences are always held spellbound by his anecdotes of humor as well as his droll pathos. And although he is house-packer and but ton -burster, that is not all that the Bir- mingham people will gain by his visit. He is accompanied by three other gen. tlemen, Messrs. Robert w. Nicholl, Rob- ert l.. DeArman and T. A. Davis, who, along with Governor Bob" compose his famous male quartette. This quartette has rapidly risen in reputation until it is now considered as fine male quar- tatte as appears on the American stage. Bob" and his quartette will appear at OBriens opera house Monday May 4.

TRADE WITH LATIN AMERICA

Frank Lesl!e's calls attention to the splendid opportunities that will soon be opened for trade between the United States and South America if the people of this country will only seize it. On this subject Frank Leslie's says:
 "A movement has been started by the United States legation at Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Republic, which, if prop erly carried out, may prove of great ben eft to the trade of the United States. This movement looks to visit to Argentine. Uruguay and Brazil by representative merchants and business men of the prin- cipal cities of the country during the com- ing summer, for the purpose of inVesti- gatng trade conditions and bringing about enlarged reciprocal trade relations between our own and these South Ameri- can countries. The government of each country has manifested it's interest in the project, and it is understood that if the visit is made every possible courtesy will be extended to the Americans. In Argen- tine, which has an area of 1,125.156 square miles, they will be practically the guests of the government during the whole perl cd of their stay, Arrangements have been made to carry them through the great wheat belt where wheat farms are meas ured by the square mile and where the crors are gathered by Italian and Swiss laborers using American harvesting ma chinery for the purpose, and an opportu- nlty will be given them to familiarize themselves with the resources and con- mercial necessities of all the countries visited"

LEFT us HAVE PEACHI

The Mobile Register observes:
 But while we are sustaining the demo- cratic nominee as against the fusion can didate, we shall not cease our fight for principle and for sound money. A base denial of our own often-ayowed and never repented of beliefs in regard to national issues, would in no way help him. and would make us ridiculous. Even to ignore such issues would be unworthy of us. Therefore, we announce here that at no time do we expect to acknowledge as righs and defend the policy of the un- limited coinage of debased silver money
 It Is just here that the platform of our state convention exhibits the wisdom of it's framcrs. There is no demand that the Register shall deny any of it's often avow- ed beliefs although we would suggest that the voice of the state democracy should induce our friend to pause and re- fleet whether all the wisdom of the ages is on his side of the question. If we are not mistaken our Mobile friend not many years back looked upon any opposition to the views of MT. Cleveland and MT. Will son upon the tariff question as undemo- cratic, heterodox and idiotic. If it did not read German, Brice, Smith and other senators out of the party 1t was because 1t had not the power. And so during the recent currency debate it has belabored as weak minded and dishonest all who do not believe in the single gold standard. The majority of the Alabama democracy have not initiated the suicidal policy of our friend. We have not asked it to pro- nounce the word "shibboleth." We do not demand or expect it, in it's present state of mind at least, to announce that the majority are right But we have a right to ask it not to attack and denounce cardinal doctrine which is now engrafted into the platform of the Alabama democ- racy. The Register says: We shall not cease our fight for principle and for sound money" We would like to know what is the use for party conventions to name men and doctrines unless the loyal ef the party propose to stand by the men and the doctrines. Conventions are sim ply beating the air if guerrillas are per- united to break away from the ranks and shoot at random. While we do not ask the Register to renounce any con- scentious belief we have right to ask it not to throw impedments in the way of party success by assaiing democratic doctrines during the pending campaign So far as Alabama is concerned she has spoken and has appointed her delegates to Chicago Nothing is to be gained by a continuance of the controversy on the part of the Register, which paper is still belaboring the views of the convention Let the argument cease until the Chicago convention speaks As Grant once said: "Let us have peace.'

 EX-Gov. William Pitt Kellogg has just returned to Washington from Louisiana, where he has been managing the cam paign In the interest of Speaker Reed. "The Louisiana delegation," said he, twill not be for Mckinley. The situation dn the south is very foggy, and may re- main so up to the meeting of the conven- ton. I do not, however, see any walk over for Mckinley. The thing that sur priseS me most is the tremendous sweep which the free silver sentiment is having in the south and west. It Is no use for the republican party to shut its eyes to it. There will undoubtedly be strong effort made to prevent the democratic conven- ton al Chicago from adopting free sill yer platform, but the outlook is decidedly favorable to the adoption of such a plat form and the nomination of free silver candidates. If this is done the democra t. ic party will carry every southern state with the possible exception of Maryland and West Virginia and every state west of the Missouri except, perhaps, Nebras- ka. Then they will put up terrific fight for control of the central western states If both the republican and democrati conventions adopt gold standard pla l. forms and the silver element should nom- mate such a man as Cameron or Teller the election would be thrown into the house of representatives where the three highest candidates would be balloted for by states voting as unts.'

-----=-----r <---------------- THEY CAN'T DELIVER.

Now they are off! The combined oppo- sition to democracy and good government in Alabama has finally made it's ticket The ticket is composed of five new repub- licans and two oldtme republicans. As stated in these columns some time ago, Alabama now has but two political par ties-the democratic and the republican parties. The Jeffersonian party was swallowed up by the populite party, and that party has in turn been swallowed up by the republican party. There can no longer be any question as to what kind of politics a man holds to in Ala bama. For four years We have been af- fiicted here in Alabama with all kinds of politics. We have had men voting and working Tor the success of nominees oth- CT than the regular democratic nominees who claimed to be as good, if not really better, democrats than those who were supporting and working for the success of the regular democratic ticket. Five of those men are now perched upon a ticket alongside of men who are and have always been republicans. No democrat or genuine populist would accept a nom- lnation on a ticket with republicans; and
 
 a fusion ticket is simply to entrap the unsuspecting voter The fact is, the dem- ocratic nominees are opposed by the re- publican nominees, and we are going to have a straight showdown this year in Alabama between the democratic party and its old enemy, the radical party. Hav- ing succeeded in holding large number of lifelong democrats in line under the banner of Jeffersonian democracy against the democratic nominees during two state elections and then grazing them in the barren pastures of the popuite party for a few months, Kolb and his lieutenants think they can now deliver them over to the republican party, but in this we think they are very badly mistaken. The contest will end in overwhelming defeat for the republican ticket, and Kolb and his lieutenants will be left standing alongside of Moseley, Parsons & Co.,, with their plates up asking for federal republican pie.
