There was quite large crowd al Camp Pettus yesterday afternoon, it being gov ernor's day. The governor and his staff, Mrs. Johnston and members of the press left the Morris h0.el promptly at 4 o'clock on the .sEleetra," the beautiful special car of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company, the same being furnished by this popular line. The gov- ernor's home friends insisted that he and his afr go ouS i'm carriages, but he said no; that he was at home among his friends and desired as little display as possible and preferred going on the reg ular ear. He consented, however. to ae- scept the couftesies of the Electrical Rail- way company 10 go on their special as the schedule had already been arranged in keeping with the appointment. 1t was then determined to have carriages at the lake to convey the parry to the campus, but the governor again remarked that he would prefer to walk; but the carriages were in waiting when the Electra" ar rived, and the parry, of course, accepted the acconmoda tiors. Y
 Gov. Johnston has all along exempllfied that he is man of the people, plain, practical people, and while he can adapt himself to any and all conditions, be IL among the yeomanry and laborers or he wealthy and great his modesty robs him of all efforts at pretentions when left to him to arrange and he prefers the free dom and society of .he plain American citizen to formality, pomp and display even in his own honor.
 Political opponents may charge Gov. Johnston with faults and political chl- canery at their pleasure. bta, i, has been many a year since Alabama has had a. governor whose every movement ana every act officially and otherwise has so successfully belied the chalga He is in deed and in fact the governor of Ala bana; he knows his duties and is per forming them without fear or favor or hope of reward; h. has already saved he saate of Alabama more than his salary by injecting into the administration bus mess principles; he has proven to every political party and factional wing that he is a peoples gov rnor, and not party governor; and he stands as Sqrarely by his political principles today as when ne first offered himself as a candidate TOT the exaltd position he now occupies.
 This was Gov. Johnston's first otnciai visit to his home since his election, ana his many friends were more than proud 70 extend him hearty welcome.

It is not a bad idea for a governor to be consistent as well as other people for there is no telling the day nor the hour when circumstances may alter cases and his acts rise up like Banco's ghost be- fore him. Speaking of Gov. Oates recent letter defending himself against the Ran doiph episode the Henry County Re- former says: ~
 Col Oates wanted Judge Robinson impeached two years ago for habituaf drunkenness. Then he held up holy hands of horror at a habtual drunkard holding office and was after Judge Robin- son with sharp stick. Now he comes out and says in his letter to the Mont gonlery Advertiser that he told Randolph that his defaication In office and the di- semma 1t had placed him in must have been caused by his indulgence in the vicious habit of drinking and card play ing But we didn't hear anything said at that time about impeachment pro- ceelings being instituted against Ram dolph at all"
