A FAINT HOPE.

The organs of the Republican Aid soci- ety in this state are busily engaged in an effort to deceive the members of the democratic party as to the attitude of the party throughout the. country They are systcma tically endeavoring to create the impression that the rank and file of the party gre ready to abandon the Chi cago platform and the principles it enun- ciated and align themselves with the goldites This impression is sought to be made in the hope that the goldbug fac tion will regain control and be entrusted with the leadership of the party in Ala bama. They hug themselves with the vain deusion that the membership of the party will receive their uttera nces IS the voice of the party. It is their last hope. but it is fated not to be realized. They might as well cease their efforts to thus deceive the people. Nobody is fooled thereby Just as we'll realize the fact that the battle was fought and won in the last campaign and the issue decided against them. cease their fighting, own their error. and join their brethren and aid to preserve <@nocratic party su- premacy in Alabama. It is their last kick anyway against party faith. rule and recedent.-Brewton Standard Gauge.

EXAMINER IN DALLAS.

It is not strange that Jodie refuses to order an nvestiga ton of the county of fees Of Dallas county. when the grand jury called his attention to the unfor- tunate condition of affairs in that county, for he halls from Dallas and could not affront his old friends by Investigating their bookkeeping. It requires genuine courage and unselfishness for man to tackle his friends when developments might be embarrassing to him. Jodie has not the courage, nor does he possess the unselfshness. Ditto as to Lowndes. Alabama Monitor.
 The above is g. fair sample of Baltzells $ utter lack of fair treatment to Gov. John ston, for when the above paragraph was printed Gov. Johnston had already sent the examiner of public accounts to Dal- las. and Baltzell certainly knew it if he had read the papers even in his own section of the state.-Hot Blast.
 And. furthermore, the cxa miner, who is here. states that the books of the tax collector and tax assessor are the best and neatest kept set of books in the en- tire state. He has not examined the books of the circuit and city court clerks and judge of probate yet, but the Times will wager the Monitor years subscrip- ton against picture of Mary Yellen Lease and Tommy Watson, that these books are straight also.-Selma Times.

 The appropriation for the year 1898 amounts to $2933.333. This sum will be distributed after the hearing of the tes- timony as to the damages sustained in the three districts extending from Cairo to the gulf, and under the disbursing and supervising direction of the commissions secretary, Capt. Waterman. of St. Louis. and District Officers Capt George M. Derby, of New Orleans. and Lieuts. B. E. Newcomer and M. NJ. Patrick, of Mem phis. These officers are in attendance upon the meeting of the commission. Of the commission there were present Col Gillespie, of New York, president and Maj. Harod. New Orleans: Co.'s.

NOT TOO MICH.

Warren Reese, who. it will possibly be remembered. contested Senator Morgan's seat, has been awarded s6.G00 contest fees Colonel Reese thought he was entl- tied to $S,0Oo, and we. agree with him. A man with such a monumental cheek as, in the first place, to represent himself as being proper man to fill so great a sta- tion. and. in the second place, to claim that he was properly elected or entitled to the seat, should be rewarded. Re wards should be. given extraordinary people, to encourage them to lend spice and variety to life. So that we hold $S 900 a small sum for the colonel to demand. Alabama will possibly, never again pre- sent so complete a specimen of spice and variety" to public life as this contest of Colonel Reese calls attention to. We hope the committee having the matter in charge will look further into it and let the colonel have the full sum. It is not too much.-Eufaula Times

The State Herald takes ihe position that there is but one way. and onay one, to bring abou: umlty among democrats and the bolters from the party in Ala ibama To begin with the organized dem- ocrats have mo concessions to make and no compromise to offer. And he way which we would offer will prove equally as inducdve to other opponents who may wish to join the party as to the bolters and who have as much right to seek ad- mission.
 In the finr5a place. the democratic party yields to each and every individual his personal right to believe what he pleases and to express himself freely on ainy and all subjects penoaining to good govern ment and the b1terment of society. In sustaining tlleue personal views he is privileged to argue from the stage. from the stump and on the musings without hls party fealty being questioned
 He may favor. if he chooses. free trade or high tariff. free coinage or the gold sta ndard, iaqsd search history from Adam to MoKfnssy to prove chat his po- s sion is democratic. He is at liberty to attempt to warp the true meaning of
