Every one of these furnishes reasons
grounded on the purest patriotism and
the clearest obligation, why every true

my country. AS result of the war,
corporations have been enthroned

the prejudices of the people until all

HANNAH MAMMA.

The Birmingham PopuliSt Herald has
been trying to 'raise money for Sena-
tor Jones national popocratic committee
for some time. 1t heads its appeal with
these words in big type across two
columns: do you wish to see democracy
win? If so, how earnestly do you wish
it? Here is chance to put yourself on
record" The responses indicate that
there are few people who wish to see it's
sort of democracy win. Only hundred
or two persons have sent in anything.
Nor are they very earnest in their wish,
judging from the size of their contribu-
lions. Most of them send dollar, while
occasionally some one is only 10-cents

According to my view of the SUBJ

have been formed here and in Europe
to destroy by legislation and other

the most gigantic crime of this or any

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

mo people, in a great emergency,
ever found a faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardly and treacherous
of all metals. 1t makes no treaty
that it does not break, it has no friend
il does not betray. Armies and ma
vies are not maintained by gold. In
times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the
agency and minister of ruin. No ma
ton ever fought great war by the
aid of gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of the great peril it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in
the field but when the battle has
been won and peace secured, gold
reappears and claims the fruits of
victory"
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-09-27

The attempted explanation of the out
rage in New Haven, perpetrated by the
ruffians of Yale university, is a self-dem-
onstrated falsehood. The pretense first
is that Mr. Bryan provoked the outbreak
by disparaging illusions to the papas of
these hopeful hoodlums; the next is, that
before he ever said a word they shouted
for Mckinley and raised their college
yells, but afterwards made no disturb
ance. How could Mr.. Bryan have given
them any provocation before he had said
a word? He went there to Gake all the
friends he could for himself and his
cause and no sensible person will for
moment believe him so senseless as to
wantonly say things displeasing to any
part of his audience. The plain, simple
truth is, these upstairs, sprouted in the
hotbeds of ill-gotten gains, were there by
concert and with malice prepense to pre-
vent Mr.. Bryans being heard, and hav-
ing overdone the thing, to the disgust of
all decent men, they and their hackers
are trying to hide themselves within a
refuge of lies.

NO MONEY FOR ALABAMA
Mark Hanna Comes to Town, But Refuses to
Listen to Southern Appeals for
Financial Aid.

Chairman Mark Hanna of the repub-
lican national committee arrived in the
city yesterday Mr. Hanna's coming was
the signal for an unusual amount of ac-
tivity at national headquarters. For. the
past week the return of Hanna has been
anxiously awaited by a large number
of southern republicans and boiling DEM
ocrats, who desire financial aid, and who
claim that if it is given they will be able
to defeat Bryan in several of the south
ern states.
Two weeks ago National Committee
man Youngblood of Alabama called at
headquarters and declared that, If given
sufficient money, he could carry the state
for Mckinley. The money was not forth
coming, and he returned home. Yester-
day j. M. Faulkner, an attorney for the
Louisville and NASHVILLE railway, and Ex-
Gov. Thomas G. Jones of Alabama ar
rived in the city to have a conference
with Hanna. They are boiling demo-
Gratis.
Mr. Hanna was too busy to talk with
them. He was met at the depot by Sec
rotary Osborne, OF the national commit
tee, who accompanied him to the Wal
dorf hotel. Shortly after 2 o'clock Mr..
Hanna reached headquarters. He was
joined there by Gen. Horace Porter Cor
nelius N. Bliss, Committeeman Quay,
Scott, Clayton. Secretary Osborne and
Garrett A. Hobart.

Can it be true that at Boston, Mass,
the alleged center of the culture, refine

anarchists turned out to hear the doc

leader of the party and the people? No

Comment of an Indignant Alabamian.

Prattville, Ala, Sept. %, 1896.
State Herald, Birmingham, Ala.
Observation-Disclosures I send you a
clipping from the daily New York Jour-
nal of September "a, seventh page. 1
send it for fear that you may have over
looked it, and as it shows Capt. J. M,
Faulkner and Ex-Gov Thomas G. Jones
to have gone to Hanna to get funds to
turn Alabama over to Mckinley l hope
you will publish this clipping in your
editorial columnss and give them a gen
uine roasting" And not hit them once,
but hit them hard and often.
! Reuben f. Kolb did, in 1892, have
shrewdness enough to bleed Chris Nc
Ghee, but it seems that the prince of the
ALBANIA boilers did not even have the
political sagacity to secure an interview
with Hanna, much less to tap his bar
rel"
Thus it seems that Captain Faulkner
and Thomas Goode Jones, those simon
pure democrats of the Jacksonian and
Jeffersonian stripe, have gone to Mark
Hanna for inspiration to teach Alabama
democrats pure democracy!
The beauty of it, though, is that Hanna
ignored them, and If the boss boodler of
the republican campaign committee ig-
nored them, how can decent and self-re-
specting democrats of Alabama do other
wise than treat the traitors with igno-
miny and contempt?
Hoping you will give this clipping as
wide publicity as possible, both through
your own columns and through the
friendly press of Alabama, I am yours

One of the Hannacratic orators at
Seals hall Friday night stated that
while he had resided in Birmingham
about nine years he had never before
been called upon for political speech"
If the speech that followed that state
ment may be taken as specimen of
what the speaker would have grated, had
his services been called into requisition
by the democratic party, beyond doubt
the party has acted wisely and escaped
a fearful responsibility in not calling on
him for his reserved wealth of logic and
affiuence of eloquence. The democratic
party could never permit itself to be
committed to the proposition that
young ladies should be sent home and
spanked for singing the Bonnie Blue
Flag" or that ex-Confederate soldiers
were at the close of the war in Kentucky,
or at any other time or place, "ruffians
and guerrillas.'' The southern Hanna
Gratis are responsible for these new ideas.
