CAPT. JOSEPH P. JOHNSTON.

Monroeville is in Monroe county. At that point the Monroe Journal is publish ed. The last issue of that paper was gotten out by the ladies of Monroeville, and was a woman's edition of the paper, and a creditable edition 1t was indeed. Under the above caption we find the fol- lowing indorsement of the candidacy of Captain Johnston. He who has the sup port of the ladies in this country is d dead sure winner:
 While the right of suffrage has not been conferred on our sex, yet we are per fectly well aware that We are not devoid of influence even in politics. and in the light of this Knowledge and exercising our inalienable right of giving free ex- pression to our views, we have a few words to say bout the distinguished gen. tleman whose name heads this article. To begin, we state emphatically that we want him to be the next governor of Ala bama. Ordinarily 1t would be a sufficient feminine reason for wanting him to be governor, because we want him; but we have other cogent reasons for our strenu- ous desire.
 Captain Johnston is one of the old school democrats, who has not gone off on the republican heresy of Worshpping the golden calf
 The captain does not approve of ap- pointing either negroes or republicans to office, but he believes that democrats should be appointed to place when the democracy is in power; and above all he is that type of man who cannot and will not bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning.' His ability. integrity character and the long and valuable services he has rem dered his state and party justly entitle him to the office of governor, to which a grateful people will nominate and elect him in this wear of grace. We shall work in his interest, in the confident expecta- tion that if elected he will neither go fishing to tautog or hunting for ducks during his term of office"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-11
nrcI-AREs TOR JOHNSTON.

The Standard News in the following editorial in the last issue of that paper declares for Johnston for governor:
 The StandardNews has refrained from championing the cause of either Captain Johnston or Colonel Clarke, for the reason that we have had already too much partisanship in our ranks; but since Captain Johnston has respectfully declined the challenge of Colonel Clarke to canvass the state before the primaries meet we are so much pleased with his action that we now make haste to an nounce that Captain Johnston shall re- ceive the unqualified support of this pa per from this day on. The democratic party needs the leadership of men who are not disposed to throw fire brands Into our camp. Captain Johnston is worthy in every sense of the word. and no man deserves more of the people at this time than he does. For the good of the state let us all go to work in good earnest and see to it that Johnston shall occupy the gubernatoral chair"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-11
IGNORING TRAITORS.

The Louisville Courier-Journal stands by the few gold men who refuse to vote for MT Blackburn the caucus nominee of the democratic party. It says:
 All honor to the level-headed demo- crats like Weissinger, Carroll, Violett, Walker and Speight, who have not been swept off their feet by the currents and counter-currents of partisanship which have been too strong for those of their associates who have left them to fight the battle of real democracy alone"
 If the Montgomery Advertiser or the Mobile Register were in Kentucky they would initiate the Courier-Journal in it's effort to defeat the party nominee. We expect to find them opposing the nominee of the next democratic legislative eau GUS if that nominee should favor free silver Their opposition, however, will be futile. The great body of sound money democrats" will stand by the nominees, and the recruits that the party will win by the liberal action of our national and state executive committees will more than make up for all the selfish time-servers and traitors that would sac rlfice their state to their personal vanity and disappointments.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-11
what? Is it that Mclaughlin and the

what? Is it that Mclaughlin and the populists love Clarke, or admire Clarke, or approve of Clarke, or wish him to be the governor of the state? Is it that they dislike or hate Johnston, or think him unworthy to hold the position he aspires to, or that they prefer that Clarke should be governor rather than Johnston? Nothing of the kind. The populists politically hate the very sight of such men as Clarke If there is any thing they detest 1t is what is called cuckoo or a Clevelandite goldbug. They have about as much use for them as they do for poison. They are making this bit ter fight against Johnston and for Clarke for a plain, unmistakable purpose. They know that they would not have the slightest difficulty in defeating Clarke at the polls in August if he is the demo- cratic nominees. whereas, they fear that they may not be able to defeat Captain Johnston. The populists are shrewd
 They are working the game for all it is worth this campaign. They fear that 1t is now or never with them. Clarke's can didacy was godsend to them. They know that his nomination would disinte- grate if not wreck the democratic par ty, and that naturally Is what they most desire They haven't a principle in common with Clarke, while they are all in hearty sympathy with Captain John ston's bimetallic views. Hence John ston democrats have no occasion to be disturbed by the antics of the popu- lStS.-BeSSemer Weekly
