man, as they have been doing in the

nine different ways of playing ball. The

get them back on the earth again.

CHIEF DEPUTY WARNOCK.
Capt. Frank 0'Bren Tenders the Sturdy
Democrat the Highest Office at
His Disposal.

Bob Warnock, one of the sturdiest and
truest advocates of pure democracy, has
been rendered and accepted the position
of chief deputy to Sheriff-elect Frank
p. O'Brien.
Had Captain O'Brien searched the
county over he could not have made a
better selection, as Mr.. Warnock is a
thorough business man, capable, true
and always reliable.
The tender of the position to Mr.. War
mock by Captain O'Brien was purely vol
untary, and the tender of the office oc-
Cured in such a manner as to take Mr..
Warnock completely by surprise.
The genial captain met Mr.. Warnock
in front of the Hotel Morris and asked
him to sit down with him. They sat
down together and Captain O'Brien said:

The above is the likeness of Hon. Ar

the democratic campaign committee of
Morgan county, who conducted such
magnificent fight for democracy. He is
a true democrat, and earnest worker and
his great work showed plainly in the re-
turns of the election. His fort was his
quiet work among the country people
who had followed off after strange gods
to get them back in the party. The re-
turns from the country precincts show
that many of them increased at least SO
per cent.
Mr. Brown is a bright young lawyer
and has a brilliant future before him.

WHAT IHE OLD ROMAN SAID.
He Knew It Was Not Democracy-The Present
Financial Policy

financial f0llcV
In June last Mr.. r. l.. Thornton.
well-known attorney of this city, and an
other gentlemen were engaged in
friendly discussion of the financial ques-
ton and the position Mr.. Cleveland had
taken ON the question in his message to
congress when it met in 1898 in extraor-
binary session. In the course of the dis
cussion Mr.. Thornton sought to quote
the expression of the old democratic Ro-
man, Hon. Allan G.. Thurman, of Ohio
sage mentioned. Mr.. Thornton quoted
Mr.. Thurman from memory only, and
contended that he had used these words
TT is enough to make Jefferson and
Jackson turn over in their graves" or
words to that effect.
The gentleman to whom Mr.. Thorn
ton was addressing his remarks main
fained that MIR. Thurman had made no
such remark, or anything like 1t, or any,
thing that could be construed into any
such meaning, whereupon Mr.. Thornton
addressed a letter to Allen w. Thurman
asking him what his father had said of
the message, and following is the letter,
the contents of which show just what
the great Ohio democrat said and what
he thought of the position the president
had taken on the financial question:

TIME TO GET TOGETHER.

The contest over the state and county
officers has ended. A very large number
of the men who voted for Kolb in 1894
returned to the democratic party in the
[ election just held. The time is at hand
for the people to get together and go to
battle for financial and Industrial free
dom. When the great corporate inter-
ests begin to meet and organize new par
ties, the sole purpose of which is to di-
vide the people IL possible, and thereby
defeat the democratic party, which has
promulgated a platform and presented a
ticket pledged to restore the rule of the
people in this country, there is no longer
time left to the people in which to re-
main separated.
The issue is clearly drawn. The ques-
ton to be settled at the polls this fall
is, shall the people rule this country or
shall the money and corporate powers
rule the people? That is the issue pure
and simple. 1t Is the classes against the
masses. 1t is whether the people shall
have left open to them the innumerable
opportunities to enter the battle OF life,
accumulate property, own their homes
and educate their children that this
country will afford if the people rule, or
whether we are to become people en-
tirely dependent upon the corporate and
money power for employment, and there
fore compelled to work for wages that
will be set by souless trusts, combines
and corporations and cold blooded money
mongers.
The election of Mckinley means the
single gold standard with it's constant
contraction of the currency. 1t means
the unlimited power of corporations,
trusts and combines, with constant de-
struction of the opportunities of individ-
uals to earn a livelihood. 1t means the
permanent enhancement of the money
power. 1t means that nothing save a
revolution will ever give back to the peo-
pie of this country the rights and priv
l. ges which were handed down to them
by the fathers.
Such being true, there should, there
must, there will, be coming together
of the people. Every man in Alabama
who wants to see the people rule, every
man who is in favor of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, should go
to work today Under the Bryan and
Sewall flag and help to defeat the effort
set on foot in Indianapolis Friday to for
ever bind the masses of the people of this
country to the money power.

Bob, democracy has long owed you a
debt, which she has failed to pay. You
have ever sacrificed self to advance the
party and the debt in your favor is q
large one"
Mr.. Warnock looked at the speaker
with surprise and was about to question
him as to what he meant when the cap
tain continued, saying: THAT debt I
propose to pay in so far as in me lies. 1
have the extreme pleasure of rendering
you the chief deputyship in the sheriff 5
Office"
This was a complete Knockout for
Bob" and for the space of minute
his heart was too full to say anything.
Finally grasping Captain O'Briens hand,
he accepted the office and thanked him
with words and looks which proved his
appreciation of the trust rendered him
That Bob" Warnock will come up to
every expectation of Sheriff O'Brien and
his many friends there can be no doubt
