THE CAME OF BRAG.

Under the above caption the Sheffield Standard makes the following remarks:
 .This is the game with which the Mont eomery Advertiser and the other cack- ling cuckoos are trying to divert public opinion. Dragging, booming and blus- tering are the principal parts of the play the only parts, indeed, that give them the slightest shadow of relief in the fad ing light of forlorn hope.
 "They have succeeded in beguiling their 'blue-eyed destiny into the happy conceit that he has only to cluck and there will be rush and rally that will leave Captain Johnston and the sickly silverites solitary and alone-alone in the solitude of nnocuous desuetude.
 Tn the history of the political cam paigns in Alabama, there was never be- fore so much noise, so much bluster so much tall bragging, as these fussy cuckoos have precipitated into their big gtbernatorial campaign-a campaign just now inaugurated by 'blue-eyed des- tiny.' under the auspices of a huge and hysterical Hopper, or whopper, designat- ed by the Montgomery Journal as the 'whangdoodle of Alabama politics. To give ear to their big-mouthed expres- sions, one would suppose that Johnston and his silver host were only the rag-tag and bob-tail of an exhausted contingent, and that the Advertiser and 'blue-eyed destiny and their gold-standard rem nant are really the army of the Lord with banners of gold streaming in the breezes of heaven and leading to inevita- ble victory and immortal glory.
 But the Advertiser, with all its frantic shouts and frenzied hurrahs, will not sue ceed in creating a stampede: it will not so much as awaken an alarm"

Montgomery and just stopped off to call on his friend, Capt. Sid Jones, relative to immigration matters.
 He refused to discuss political, matters, saying that he very much preferred to talk of immigration, as it was of more material interest, yet he inadvertently admitted that he was in the race for the state senate from Limestone and Lauder dale counties, and expected to get there.
 Speaking in a general way, Commis- sioner Lane said his information is that the farmers of Alabama are in more prosperous condition than they have been since the war, the result of the dl- versification of crops and the raising of home supplies; "and should this con- tinue," he said, land our farmers will not relapse into the suicidal policy of in- creasing the acreage of cotton, am quite sure that general prosperity will be per manent"'
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-05

The more than three columns of ex- tracts from the state press favorable to the candidacy of Captain Johnston and condemnatory of the reckless policy of the Advertiser, which the State Herald published last Sunday, certainly stunned the "old lady," and yesterday it sought to weaken the force of such an array of inducements of the future governor of Alaabama by endeavorng to show that possibly there was more than one clip ping from two or three papers. The Ad- vertiser may snarl at the State Herald, scold at the state press. assault the state democratic executive committee, and even thrust it's poisonous fangs into itself but the sturdy conservative de- mocracy of Alabama will send plenty of delegates to Montgomery to nominate Johnston in spite of it.

CAPT. FRANK P. 0'BRlEN
Makes Formal Announcement of His Candidacy
 for Sheriff.


 The intimate friends of Capt. Frank P. O'Brien have been apprised of the fact for some time that he was an aspirant for the office of sheriff of Jefferson county and already they have been busy a work in his behalf. This mornings State Her aid contains the formal announcement of Captain OBrien. As a staunch and unswerving democrat, who has always been loyal to his party, he submits his candidacy to the democratic primary, de- siring no office that democracy is unwill- ing that he should have. Captain OBri- en bears record as a democrat and a private citizen which has upon it no blot or blemish, and the true democrats of Jefferson who have honored him in the past, as well as the people among whom he has lived for more than twenty years, spending his money and his energies for the upbuilding of this section, are not slow to appreciate merit or to tender re- ward for services rendered. Captain O'Brien is well equipped for the discharge of the duties of sheriff.

 hullabaloo is a fraud and a deceptipn
 The passing of the solid south will be accomplished when constitutional gbv- ernment dies, and that will be when the democratic party dies. One expression used by MT. Skaggs of Alabama is worthy of note, when considered in rela+ tlon to the recent republican convention in Louisiana MT. Skaggs said: If the republican party is discreet, broad and American in it's policy it may pick up few bargains in the south this year. And the accounts from New Orleans show that the way this broad, discreet American party proposes to pick up bargains in the south is by paying filthy lucre for them. Bargains of this kind the party is welcome to- especially when the buyers represent the candidacy of force bill candidate, but 1t will take more renowned prophet than MT. Skaggs to convince the people of the southern states that their future welfare depends upon allegiancef to a party whose chief tenet is taxing the many for the benefit of the few"

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Speaking of MT. Skaggs' recent speech In Chicago the Nashville American says:
 civilian H. Skaggs of Alabama has been talking about that old chestnut, the New South,' and dilating at length upon the passing of the solid south, before a republican club In Chicago. Who MT. Skaggs is we do not know but we do know, from the brief report of his most -brained remarks, that the people of Chicago should not be led astray by his wild vaporings. As a term relating to industrial, agricultural, financial and manufacturing develop ment. the words, New South.' may be pardoned; but as indicating that the majority of the people in the southern states are willing to abandon the con- test for constitutional liberty, to throw up the fight against centralized govern ment. to join in the cry for governmental

THE RACES.
New Orleans Results.

New Orleans, Feb. At is very doubt full if another such exhibition of starting will ever be witnessed by race-goers as was given by Starter Fitzgerald this af- ternoon. He started off badly in the first race, gave a fair start In the second, bad in the third, but in the handicap he eclipsed all his previous bad work by giving one of the most wretched starts probably ever made. Birdcatcher, who carried nearly all the wise money, was w., Dockstader and one or two others were hidden from view by the judges stand. Birdcatcher raced up to the field, but on account of closing the great gap tired badly in stretch and was unplaced. With anything like a start not one of the first three could have been placed. The first race was taken by Elsie Ferguson, who got the best of the bad start and won all the way. Parmesan demonstrat- ed he was a good horse by giving away weight and winning the 2-year-old race in hot finish with Oxeye, who got off badly. Evanesca, thanks to Thorpe's vigorous riding took the third, although Fannie Rowena looked a winner in the stretch, but was evidently short, as she tired badly at finish. Prytania, backed from to even money, took the last race in a hard drive from Bagpipe, who got the best of the start and opened big gap, but tired at the finish. Weather

 New Orleans, Feb. 4.-Mr. George Nich- olson, one of the proprietors of the Plea yune, died this afternoon at 1:20.

If you want to make that paper simply shake it's sides laugh ing gently say to it that there will be no coming together of the white men in Alabama. That the breach will be widened. not closed up That former followers of the democratic flag will go into the republican camps rather than return to the democratic fold.
