Dr. Everett. OF Massachusetts. a gold
s.anuard champion, recently made this
statement: I'VE paid in solid money
slS 100000 for the territory we tool, from
mexico. If Mexico will give us back
siSooo.OOO even in silver, and will take
those states back again, we will not
cry much"
The Springfield Republican, com
menting on this utterance. says: 1T
was an unfortunate remark, Doctor.
IL NAV have been unfortunate for DR..
Everett. who is regarded as one of the
pest educated men in New England, but
IL Illustrates the spirit that is too pre-
vnient in the East. The State of Texas
alone is more than thirty-fve times as
large rs Massachusetts and nearly six
times as large as the State of New
YORK. Texas Is only part of the terri
tory to which DIR. Everett refers He is
willing TO give II away or sell II for n
song. What patriotism he exhibits.
what Interest in his country! How
h,shlv he esteems the great West! that
mightv empire which so disgusts the
EAST and which was added to this coun-
try bv Southern valor and statesman
shin. without the aid or encourarcment
OF the East. Southern craftsmanship
anu Democratic management of Gov
ernmenta affairs have added more ter
rltorv To the Union than is comprised in
all the territory of the original thir-
teen States. They have added more
stars TO the flag than were originally on
the flag. The East has always been an
obstructionist. 1t has always pursued
II dog-in-the- manger policy. DR.. Ever
cit Is regarded as n high type of the
educated New Highlander, yet he DELHI
erately expresses such sentiments as
quoted above. Nothing that has been
said against the East so we'll shows the
narrow. sectional spirit as DR.. Everett's
utter0nces display.

What will Alabama do in Novem-

that state. at the Metropolitan.
Give Bryan and Sewall n tremen-
dous majority and send a solid Demo-
cratic delegation to Congress. We gave
cant. Joe Johnston q comfortable ma
iortv but 1t will be nothing to COM
pare with the Bryan Vote
What do you think of the ticket
named at Indianapolis"
We'll 1t isn't going to set the people
wild with enthusiasm. So far as my
State is concerned it will cut very little
figure. The ticket will do well to get
1000 votes In Alabama; there are sevc-
raj counties In my district where it will
not get vote. In the country at large
II VIII do MIR. Bryan no damage worth
considering: Its advocates would never
nave supported him. and their pretense
III being the only genuine Democrats is
amusing as an exhibition of nerve"
Mr.. Bankhead has just been rcnomi-
mated for Congress for the sixth con
secutive time. and his election is in the
nature of certainty. His name has
been favdrably mentioned in the press
of his State for United States Senator
end he will have a strong following for
the seat now held by Mr.. Pugh. The
latter is candidate to succeed himself
and he will be opposed by Mr.. Bank
head. Gov. Oates. Gen. Pettus, Hon. IL
G. Tompkins. and possibly by Gen
Charles NJ. Shelley, one of the mos;
popular men in the State, with an unex
ceptionable record both as a civilian and
