so ENDS THE CHAPTER.

Ex-Gov. Oates was out in a leJter to the Advertiser yesterday, giving his side of the Randolph matter. It was more or less rehash of former lstter on the same subject, though little more apolo- getic for having allowed himself to be duped.
 Rando1ph's friends, he said, told him that Randolph was considerably worried over ths matter. and they were satisfied that if impeachmens proceedings were made out against him the judge would kill himself. He sent for Randolph and when he came before him he appeared distressed and crestfallen, exhibiting in- dications in keeping with the suspicious of his friends 5haIt he might undertake self-d struo.ion if pressed in the matter
 The ex-governor grew sorry and agreed to extend the time until January for him to make good the default, under the promise that ha would drink no more whisky. brandies, wines, beers or any, thing Intoxicating in the city of Mont gomery.
 The judge was very much gratified and made and kept lhis promise.
 The governor assumed all this rssponsi- bilLty without conferrhng with any of the bondsmen; he then thought and still thinks he ac ed right, butt is too much of a democrat to go back on the majority rule and declare he was right "and dare you to take it up," like Gov. Jones.
 Upon the whole, the letter is feeble but frank admission that the ex-governor suffered himself Imposed upon and would Nike to turn the subject aloose as easily and gracefully as possible and think abou1 something more pleasant.
 He closes his article with touching eulogy on Gov. Jones. saying that while he was "errasihle a nd fiery wlr: aroused, mo man ever occupied the chair of chief executive of our ssate who had a tenderer heart or deeper sympathy for rhe unfor- kunate people than Tom Jones'" And. wiping tear from his liquid eye, Gov. Oates continues in this sent imenial and touching s.rain, and almost makes the reader forget the unfortunate bondsmen, widows and orphans who suffer from Randolph's duplichsy His big heart heaves sigh. and, with a prayer on his compressed lips, he quels emotions and pressing his pen to the paper conclude s !:
 Now how could I, as governor, have done anything dlan I did to have prevented his dedication just as it oc- cured? The only thing I could have done was 10 haus refused the extension Of time on his November default, and that, in my opinion, would have done no good, and the act was one which usually has it's reward in helping up poor err ing fellow when he is down (boo-hoo) for which men are generally very grateful, D boo-hooi boolhoo-oo!!
 And the service closed without the usual doxology.
Birmingham state herald., 1897-06-09
STAND TO THE coLoRs.

A few issues since the State Herald published an interview with Hon. John w. TomMnson concerning the duty of democracy. The gist of the interview was that for the party to succeed 1t must stand by and upon it's national platform. This is simply automatic. The party or the leaders of 1t cannot hope to suc- ceed by repudiating the platform, which received 6,500, 900 votes commanding, we verify believe. over half of the legitimate votes of this whole country It certainly cannot succeed if 1t repsdiates Ehat plat form and takes up another which only commanded one-sixtieth of that number of votes. That would be folly concen- trated. But there isn't the slightest possibility of such step. Wm. J. Bryan stands today enshrined in the hearts of a majority of the American people, as a statesman as a patriot, whose moving, guiding inspiration to word and deed is the welfare and best interests of his countrymen. Where to- day stand those old fossils, those stool pigeons of the bureaucrats, the trusts and the gold mongers, Palmer and Buck ner. They are nowhere; they arc for gotten; they have passed from sight; they will never be heard of more, but will go down to their graves unwept and unhonored.
 The events since the election have ir- resistibJy confirmed the precedence, the patriotism and the practicability of the Chicago platform. It was a declaration that exactly fitted these times. It could not be written stronger or more appro- priately today and it is platform that every democrat and every citizen that looks to the interest and welfare of the great mass ofagtheir countrymen can stand upon and support today The currency question is the paramount po- litical and business question. Four months of Cleveland since the election and three months of Mckinley confirms it. It has got to be settled In our Judgment. on the Mines of the Chicago platform at any rate in some radical way. before prosperity can again come to this people. We cannot go through this life with money the only valuable commodity on earth. The money question must be settled by congress and settled in the in- terests of the mass of the people. and to effect this. the people must stand on the Chicago platforn Bessemer Weekly.
