BUSINESS OF HIS OWN.
Senator White Will Not Officially Notify
 MT. Rryan

Los Angeles, Cal. Aug. 9-senator White. chairman of the notification com mittee appointed by the democratic na- tional convention will be unable to attend the notification of Bryan and Sewall in New York August 15. The senator is very busy with his law practice, which accumulated during his absence in Chi cago, and he cannot leave Los Angeles for some time to come. He has, however completed the official notification and forwarded it east, where it will be signed by all of the members of the committee. The presentation of notice would nat urally, in the absence of Senator White, fall on Senator Daniel, the temporary chairman, but the Virginian is absent In Europe, so Governor Stone of Missouri will probably head the committee.

CAPT. IKE H. VINCENT
Is in Birmlnghrm-Has Aged Considerably
 Since Ills Last Visit,

Since Ills Last Visit.
 Capt. Ike H. Vincent, ex-treasurer of Alabama, was noted among the arrivals in Birmingham yesterday. Captain Vim cent is now engaged in selling roof paint, and in conversation with a reporter of the State Herald said that he has trav- eled nearly all over Alabama, Florida and Louisiana since his last visit to this city
 For while he edited paper in Pen sacola, Fla, but that 1t did not prove profitable, and he had to seek other em- ployment
 and two sons now about grown, are liv- ing in New Orleans, both of the boys having obtained very good positions, and are doing we'll
 Captain Vincent appears to be in very good health, though he is aging very fast. He appeared quite interested over the political excitement now on in the state, but refused positively to discuss the situation. He insisted that the reporter should not even mention his presence in the city Says he is trying to make a living, which he finds hard task, and newspaper notoriety is embarrassing to him.
 He talks very cleverly and occasionally his eye would sparkle with that old ex- citement when he was easily the most popular and best informed man in the state -pn Alabama politics.
 "I have thought" said Captain Vim cent, "wben can spare the time, that would write the history of the adjust ment of the bonded indebtedness Of the state during the administration of Goy-- ernor Houston It is surprising that SO few know anything about this adjust ment. I was the clerk of the board that made the settlement; in fact, virtually made the settlement. It would be his- tory I now see that would be worth great deal to the state. both politically and otharwise"

But if they are determined to seek new politi- cal associations and alignment, they should be fair enough to admit that de- mocracy preserves it's ancient landmarks and holds fast to it's moorings and frank enough to confess they have renounced their faith and the faith of their fathers embraced a new and strange doctrine and sought political fellowship with the enemies of their people and their coun- try

Cleveland, given when he spoke and bore himself as democrat. and "continue in unswerving allegiance to the party whose principles in all times past have been found sufficient for them and whose ag- gregate wisdom and patriotism their ex- perience teaches can always be trusted rather than that they follow his un" worthy example as a bolter and rebel ready to repudiate and make war upon the party that has honored him far be- yond his merits; for, guided by enlght- ened and patriotic statesmanship the democratic party, true to it's history and it's creed, will respond to the wants of the people within safe lines," restore to the country and it's people their former prosperity, happiness and independence, and-then will not be forgotten those who deserted the party and the cause or the people when financial, commercial and industrial freedom and republican institutions were in peril.

BASEBALL.
At Montgomery.

Montgomery, Aug. 3-Montgomery and Mobile gave a fine exhibition of ball play ing this afternoon, two of the three runs made being earned. Montgomery played an uphill game all the way through, ,Athe visitors being given the benefit of every close decision by the umpire, who un- questionably helped Sparks to several of the six strike-outs with which he is cred ited. Mobile had the better of the bat ting, but their hits were so scattered that they could only score in two in- nings, although they had men on third several times during the game. Score:

Senator Sherman of Ohio is waking up to the situation. He begins to see and realize that the silver sentiment is con- stantly growing and likely to sweep the country. In a special from Canton, O., recently the following appears:
 Senator sherman, who was here two or three days last week to participate in the centennial exercises, Is somewhat alarmed at the manifestation of the si- yer sentiment in certain sections and communities. He told Major Mckinley that his voluminous correspondence was laden with inquiries about the money question and that he was of the opinion that most active measures to combat the silver sentiment ought to be taken at once"

At Columbus.

Columbus, Ga, Aug. 3.--Pedrose, who did some of the prettiest fielding ever witnessed here, lost the game for Co1um- third. It was in the eighth inning, when the score stood to 2 in favor of the home team. Two men were on bases and Smith hit to left. Pedrose threw the ball too high, allowing the men on bases to como in and Smith reached third. Knox then brought Smith in on sacrifice. Petty was very effective and had he been given the proper support would have won the game. Peltz was sick and Cushman and Carl umpired. Attendance fine. Score:

WHY FARMERS FAVOR FREE COIN-
 AGE-

MT. Warrington c. Ford Is an en- ploye of the treasury department, a salaried man, and, of course, opposed to the free coinage of silver. In a recent article he deprecates 1t, chiefly on the ground that since the repeal of the pur- chasing clause of the sherman act in 1893 our net exports of silver bullion have very largely increased, having risen from $4,564, ,10S in 1891 to s46, 726,34 in 1896, that this export of silver bullion has be- come very important and necessary to pay for our imports that we have no other product to substitute for it as an export and that the free coinag ge of sl yer would effeetually prevent it's export by keeping it all here in the shape of coined silver, worth as such $1.29 an ounce instead of about 6S cents as now in dhe shape Of bullion.
 It IS true, as stated by this man, that the exports of silver from this country have increased enormously since it was placed fully on the gold basis, and silver WAS virtually excluded from the hints. The net increase within five years has been more than 1900 per cent, estimated commercially in dollars; 1t has been much more than that in fine ounces by reason of the decline in the value of silver bull lion. This increase in silver exports Is not na.urui or healthy. It Is phenomenal, and not only betokens, but in fact is breeding disaster and ruin 10 the coun- try
 Nearly all of the $231, ,000, ,000 of silver exported within five years past has been ta ken by England. Very little of It has been bought for coinage there or else- where In Europe. because silver coinage has been limited there to merely keeping up the stocks of silver money The use for which it has been bought and to which 1t has been put has been to send it 10 India and other silver using countries where the rupee or ounce Of silver still purchases as much wheat or cotton as when silver was at a premium of per cent above gold, twenty-three years ago, when our cotton commanded IS cents @ pound and our wheat s1.49 a bushel in gold. For about 6S cents In gold the money monger can now buy iii London an ounce of oue silver, which in 1878 cost s129 or more. This silver he sends to the east and converts into the same amount of cotton and wheat tbat would have cost him In 1873 $I23 in gold. What re- snitsr As long as he can do this he will of course never pay our planters more for their cotton.or odr farmers more for their wheat than he can buy those products lor in the east. Hence, as silver has de- ciine0 for the last tNen.y-thSae years, ro also have wheat and cotton almost uniformly By the demonstration of sl- yer and tho placing of this eouotcy on the god standard our planters and farm CTS have heen reduced 10 the sa me plane enl ihloWn iGto immediate direct ccm- petificp wito inc scores of millions of half stasved balf-clsd ryots Of India and elsewhere, and both have been pros- traisd af inc feet Of the money changers

Gold and silver.

James G. Blaine said in congress on
Feb. Z, 1878: "On the much-vexed
the long mooted question as to BIZ
metallic or monometallic standard
my own views are sufficiently indicated
in the remarks 1 have made, be-
lieve the struggle now going on in
this country and in other counties for
a single gold standard would, if sue
cessful, produce widespread disaster
in and throughout the commercial
world.
The destruction OF silver as money
and establishing gold as the sole unit
OF value must have a ruinous effect on
all forms of property except those in
vestments which yield fixed return
in money. These would be enormously
enhanced in value and would gain q
disproportionate and unfair advantage
over every other species of property.
II as the most reliable statistics affirm,
there are nearly $1,000, OOO, 900 OF coin
or bullion in the world, not very un.
equally divided between gold and sill
yer, it is impossible to strike silver out
of existence as money without results
which will prove distressing to millions
and utterly disastrous to tens Of
thousands.
Again he said: AZ believe gold and
silver coin to be the money OF the con-
stitution, indeed the money of the
American people, anterior to the con-
stitution, which the great organic law
recognized as quite independent of its
existence. No power was conferred on
Congress to declare either metal should
