While DR.. r. "A. sMoseley, the eX-cha.ir-
man of the republican srate executive
committee of Alabama, got on the losing
side politically last year, IL appears that
Youngblood and Vaughan in distI3buting
the Patronage of Alabama arc being
forced -1osceneider the claims of Moseley
for an appointment
'Mos5ley is now in Washington and
news reaches Ala bama that he will re-
ceive a consulsihip to some port and that
he will go abroad this year.
If it is true thar Youngblood and
Vaughan have arranged to dispose of
the eX-chairman by sending him abroad
thy have shown method in their mad
nsSS; for MCseley is unquestionably the
most as.ute politician in the republican
party in Alabama, and even next year
would give Y6unghlood and Waugh an
lively tussle for the lead rship in this
state.
WI h lMoseley out of the way the re-
publicans will likely turn to w. F. AL
drich rs their candidate for governor
neuT year, and in all probability the pop
uhsts will also support Aldrich as thir
candidate
We believe all this talk about there be-
ing no probability of-Ghe republicans and
popudsts getting together in next years
election Is all rot THY both know that
when divided they have no chance of sue
cess and we believe Aldrich is the man
upon whom they will center.-Annisto

DR.. Mtseley remarked to he State Her
aid recently that he would not accept a
consulship that he might be able TO at
tain, that he has personal interests in
Alabama that would deteriorate in value
much more than his salary would amount
to outside of his expenses. Besides, for
more Khan twenty five years he has borne
the republican, colors in Alabama and at
times almost single handed, and he be-
lieves now that 1T would be forfeiture
of patriotism as well as financial sacri-
flee on his part to accept at this time any
kind of foreign mission. That the parry
bids fair now in Alabama to be greatly
Increased numerically from among those
who have baen its enemies for more than
thirty years ard the effort of every hon.
est republican should be to strike now
that the iron is hot for the material up
building of the party.
THE HANDW RITING ON THE WALL
The Eutaw Mirror in recent editorial
stands upon its .hind legs and thusly
howls: I
ITO speak plainly and to the point
from all we can learn there are sixty or
seventy THOUSAND democrats-gold stand
ard men--follOWerS ard believers in
Grover Cleveland. Jno. G. Carlisle and
others in this stats-who will fatty refuse
to vote for any ticket nominated on a
free silver 16 to platform, and who
would vote for a ticket on state matters
if the Chicago platform was left severely
alo1e.
''If you fellows don't or will not do that
just pop your whip and trot on and see
where you VIII come out at and in wfat
condition. You can neither frighten,
drive or bulldose men who are demo-
Gratis on principle into voting and swal-
lowing what they know to BE- fraud a
cheat and a swindls They are not dead
beats and officeseekers, ard propose to
stand on the just and right until the
crack of DOOM"
The above is copied by the Montgom-
cry Advertiser ana given a promin MT
place on it's editorial page to which edi-
torial reference is also given. That it
expresses the sentiment of the Mckinley
mouthr.ece at Montgomery goes without
saying Now, these are the newspapers
demccratic. so called by editors who dis
like to write the name republican, who
would have national issues taken out of
party unity and party harmony. No
newspaper or voeer can boaist the right
of bang democrat who atly refu 5es to
| abide the action of the primaries and con-
ventiors which shail proclaim OF what
democratic principles consist. When the
dsn1oclatic party shall attempt to rebuild
upon such basis. 1t will find that. Che
