GENERAL SHELLEYS LETTER

Eufaula Times.
General Shelley's proclamation in ia
vor of a cool, calm and temperate cam
paign is timely and like him. The gen.
eral is a patriot. He knows there are to
be other battles after this one, and he
would not have the party so split that 1t
can never get together again. He tells
those orators and those newspapers who
cannot speak or write without abusing
some person that abuse is not argument,
and that we must fight this battle on
high and honorable plane. He is clearly
right The Times never abuses any man.
1t has been known to turn, as does the
worm, but as for abuse, we never indulge
in It, And we take occasion to say just
here that while we know we shall make
political enemies during this campaign,
we hope we may not lay up against us
such a store of ill-will that it may not
be outgrown at some future time. We
know that we are politically offensive to
some people whom we have cared for,
and we much regret it,. But 1t cannot bs
helped. We do hope, however, that the
good people-all honest people-will give
us credit for sincerity, as we do them.
We would not needlessly wound the feel
ings of single friend to elect any man
to any office whatever.
We approve ofsGeneral Shelley's letter,
then. 1t covers the ground completely,
and is in line with a fight made by the
Times and kept up for years. There is
no occasion for abuse. 1t answers no
good purpose. Let every man. on what
ever side he may be, exercise all charity
for all other people, according them hon
esty and patriotism.
Huntsville Mercury.
General Shelley published letter yes
terday, in which he advised the demo-
Gratis of Alabama to let the boilers down
as lightly as possible, holding that abuse
and intolerance will drive others from
the party who might, If good feeling pre-
vailed, go with their people in the support
of Bryan and Sewall. General Shelley
does not believe a chance exists for the
defeat of Bryan and Sewall In Alabama
but does fear that elimination ana re-
elimination will result in second dvis-

That some people only give 10 cents
to the Bryan and Sewall campaign fun6
is a striking evidence of indifference"
in the opinion of the Montgomery nc
Kinley organ. The Advertiser should re-
member that the common masses have
no Hanna.

federate Veterans the programme can

The last issue of the Birmingham
Courier, the leading German paper of
Alabama, contains the announcement
of Mr.. Richard H. Fries as political edi-
tor. The paper declares for Bryan and
Sewall and Oscar w. Underwood. The
State Herald reWoduces elsewhere a
translation of his salutatory.
The powerful organization which has
controlled this state since 1871 is the
original yard-wide dyed-in-the-wool
democratic party, which redeemed Ala
bama from carpetbag and scallawag
thieves twenty-five years ago, and which,
in spite of their successors, will control
it in 1874 and every year from now until
then, and later on. This great party
stoops to "brow-beat" no one but 1t
knows how to crush its enemies and
those of the people, open or con-
cealed, whoever they may be, until they
are SO unsubstantial as the chaff and
trash which the wind drives away. "The
prudent man foresees the evil. and hideth
himself; but the froward' pass on and
are punished"

While we appreciate the motives whicfb
inspired the publication of General Shelf
leys letter. there is little reason for the4
belief that the white people of Alabam9

When sheriff Ausherman went to
the Jail yesterday morning he found
that "Jap" Apple, the man who is in
for forgery, had opened vein in his
right arm and had spread the blood
over his hands and face. By way OF
explanation he said to the sh eriff:
''The Bible says you must wash in the
blood" "Well," said the sheriff,
you seem to have been taking bath

"And the Bible says ALSO" continued
the prisoner, ''if thy right arm offend
thee cut it off" "WeII, why didn't
you do it ~ said the unfeeling miniOD
of the law. Mr.. Apple didn't seem to
have any answer for that question,
and the conversation came to an end.
Apple is in a pretty tight box and he
evidently figures that if he could
manage to go crazy before his trial
comes off it might not go so hard
with him.
The late L. l.. Northrup made no
will. being satisfied to let his estate
pass, as the statute provides, in equal
portion to his wife and the three sons.
Hence there will be no division of the
property and the business will be
carried on as heretofore except that
the name of the bank and lumber
yard will be changed to "NOrthrups
Bank" and "Northrups Lumber
Yard" respectively. Mrs. Northrup
becomes president of the bank, F. A
Northrup viee-president, ID. P. North
rup second vice-president, and Lewis
L. Northrup assistant cashier, Mr..
Vannuys of course remaining in his
old position as cashier. No change
will be made in the firm of oIthrHp
Brothers except that Lewis l.. North
rup will hereafter give his entire time
to the work of the bank, his place in
the store being filed by Walter Hull,
who will close out the store at Colony
in order to return here.
