 Tuesday, January 21.
 l. Whereas, The democratic committee of the United States, in it's call of the na- tional convention, adopted wise and conservative policy in inviting all con- citizens, irrespective of past po- litical associations or differences. to join in sending delegations to the said con- ventfon; therefore, be it
 Resolved by the state democratic ex- ecutive committee of Alabama, That we hereby invite all conservative voters, ir- respective of past political associations IT differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, economical and con- stitutional government. and who will SUD- port the nominees and principles of the democratic party, to join with us in send ing delegates to the approaching state convention, to be held at the state capi- tol in the city of Montgomery upon day to be fixed by this committee. The fore going shall also apply to the conventions called to nominate county and beat can-

narrow contracted and intolerant spirit in framing a platform and place upon it nominee in sympathy with it, we are but framing a platform and making nomination for defeat
 Sentimental, theoretical politics is good to write and speak about, but in election times practical politics and more votes is what party needs most. We ought to in- crease our vote in the white counties. There are nineteen white counties that gave majorites against the democratic party in the last state election that can be brought back into the democratic col umn, and we ought to nominate man for governor whose position and relation to those counties is such that we can req sonably expect them to be redeemed to the party, and Captain Johnston is the man to do this work for the party. We must remember that all democrats are not sound money democrats Gas the term is useO, nor are all sound money men democrats, and we had better make a platform and nomination, state and na- tional, that will hold the greatest num- Der of democrats to our ticket in the elec- tion. This is what I call practical pofi- tics, more votes and common sense.

OtflCEHOLl)lN(S-
 Your latest Washington correspondent of the great metropolitan newspaper. who essays to send out matured opinions of men and measures in public life, is a singular composite, while he ought to be one of the best posted men going, not only as to current affairs, but as to the history of events which have shaped the career of the country during it's entire life. He ought to be familiar not only with the haunts and cognizant of the habits of public leaders, but he ought to have fair appreciation of the intelli- gence of the people and not unmindful of their respect for the institutions of the country.
 Yet some of the so-called brightest cor respondents are deficient in these re- spects.
 Walter Wellman, Washington corres- pondent of the Chicago Times-Herald is one of them. He has just been devoting his powers of observation and deduction to the conduct of President Cleveland as it relates to his future, and whether or not he really contemplates yielding to impor- tunities to become a candidate for the fourth time for the office he now holds. The correspondent picks up the shreds of idle speculation and makes a patchwork of opinions, which he adroitly pads to fill space, against which he is writing, with his own conclusions, which, while they may be interesting as significant of the curiosities of ignorance, even in journal ism, must strike the common sense ob- server as an absurd treatment of serious questions on which the people have al-
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-27
dy unshakable habits and convic-

ready unshakable habits and convic- tions. So of this renewal again of the talk of nominating MT. Cleveland for third term, Correspondent Wellman reports, the famous New York lawyer-democrat, MT. Fred R. Coudert, as saying:
 q sometimes think MT. Cleveland wants to stay in public life. Now and then in my intercourse with him 1 have seen signs that the president is thinking about what he is going to do after he re- tires from office a year hence. MT. Cleveland tries to make himself and oth- CTS think he is tired of the presidency, of the responsibility and drudgery of the place. But to my notion he is deceiving himself. and I shouldn't be surprised if he were becoming conscious of the fact that the presidential habit has taken such firm hold of him that it is not to be shaken off,
 Then the astute correspondent proceeds to illuminate the discussion with his for ty candle power intellect. He finds fool friend who is disturbing himself with considera ton of how MT Cleveland's long hold on the presidency and his partys nomination therefor has unfitted him for any of the walks and activities of private life, and that he must be anything but happy man when he leaves the White House; and continues Welman: Some provision should be made for official sta ton and activity for our ex-presidents. Ii is cruelty to keep man eight years al the head of affairs, inure him to the habit of direction and authority, and then sud- denly drop him so far that he must live out the remainder of his life without ann bition and in an attitude of mind which makes all future activity commonplace and unsatisfying."
 Why, the remedy for all this is simple enough, provided the people of the United States are agreeable Let MT. Cleveland be kept in office as long as he keeps his health, even though it breaks the record of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Grant, and smashes all revered prece- dent. But we do not believe MT. Cleve- land will be so lost when he leaves the White House. There will be plenty of business of importance for him to attend to, and it is hardly likely that with the expiration of his present term the fish will cease to bite at Buzzards Bay or that the ducks will fly no more to Pam lico sound
 But seriously, Mr Wellman, who is well paid correspondent by a great news paper, has been furnishing his journal with very amateurish rot. He Drofesses himself to be an admirer of President Cleveland and is laboriously writing and quoting from the awkward friends of that exalted officer what tends to debase him and make him ridiculous.
 A man who becomes untitted for any business except officeholding is indeed to be pitied. He is slave and his nearest emancipation from labor and duty is the grave. And he ought to be at rest-rest under a large white tomb.

Another Johnston argument advanced by the Birmingham State Herald is the tact that Judge F. c. Randolph some years ago wrote a letter and published 1t in the Advertiser calling MT. Cleveland a mugwump. Surely that ought not to trouble the State Herald. It's candidate for governor has indulged in much worse language towards the president than that.--Montgomery Advertiser.
 Just watch the Advertiser dodge and souirm Our readers remember well what brought forth the above. On behalf of the so~pd money men who are sup porting Captain Johnston and on, whom the Advertiser essays to use its lash, we published the fact that F. c. Ran dolph had in letter published in the Ad- vertiser, without word of dissent from it's sentiments on the part of that paper, denounced the president of the United States and that subsequently that paper supported Randolph for office, and asked yea dared-the Advertiser to reproduce the Randolph letter. Also we asked it to explain to sound money men, whom it is now trying to lash into following it on the cry of principle" what it did with it's principle" while supporting Ran dolph after he had denounced the presi- dent, and the above is the answer. Afraid to publish the letter, unwilling to offer an explanation, it sallies forth and says Johnston has indulged in much worse language towards the president than that, charge 1t cannot sustain. It is tight place. old lady, but you must come out. Now tell the sound money men what you did with your "prin ciples'' while supporting Randolph and Stallings and when you failed to support Captain Wxr1y
