the evils so woefully foretold come true On the contrary, not only have the busi- ness affairs of the state been put on firm financial footing; but owing to the confidence in the state government, the wonderful resources of the state, the en- ergy and intelligence of her people, the material prosperity, in spite of the draw backs of an inadequate currency, has been greater than any state in the union in the past two years In my Madison speech l made this same statement and the Hon. Charles Lane, republican candidate for state senator, while admitting the general proposition, contended that the prosperity was not general among the people. Granted that true, does it not result from the gold standard that he says he favors? If we had silver restored the farmers would get better prices, the wool-growers better wag- es, and those who employ could afford to pay better wages.
 Nothing to Kick About
 The fact is, the opposition to democracy in this state cannot specify a single thing in the democratic administration on which to base the slightest criticism. Candidate Dean sailed out, like the Admiral of the Spanish fleet, and shot at random into the air, But Governor Johnston fired one broad-side at him, calling attention to the fact that he had made no attempt though . member of the state senate, to do those things which he now finds fault with the democrats for not doing, and his would-be ship of state went to the bottom of the deep sea of political oblivion, where it is likely to remain forever.
 That Democratic Clock
 The other day heard an amusing story which illustrates the desperate straits the opposition to democracy in this state is put to in their futile efforts to find some- thing to criticise the democrats about in this campaign. In certain county in this state, on a certain gloomy day recently, certain sore-head opponents of democratic rule were gathered together in a room, re- viewing the entire democratic administra- ton to find something to find fault with. and not being able to do so, finally one of them, remembering that the democrats of the county had recently purchased a clock and put it up in the tower of the court house, had not, for some reason, kept time, looking out of the window at the clock, in desperation said: "Thank God, their clock won't run any wayr But the clock-maker came along in few days and repaired the

of St. Louis carried off the honors of the intermediate four-oared shell race
 The eight-oared shell race was the most sensational that ever was rowed on the na- tional course. The crews that faced the starters were the Worcester High School, of Worcester, Mass; Fairmounts, of Phil adelphia; Pennsylvania Barge, Club, of Philadelphia,- and -Argonauts,. of Toronto. Not one of these eight had ever been de- feated From the three-quarter flag to the finishing point it was a magnificent struggle between the Philadelphia cham pions and the Argonauts. By grand spurt Pennsylvania managed to cross the line first, five feet in front of the Can adians. The time, 7:401a, is the best ever made over this course under similar condi- tions. Worcester was three lengths behind the Canadians

Guin, Ala, July 2s.-Hon. John W. Tom linson. of Birmingham, spoke to a large audience at Pearces Mills, near the cen ter of this county, today. He was applaud ed enthusiastically Among other things, he said:
 While 1t is a forgone conclusion that democracy will triumph from one end to the other of the state in August, 1t is well that democrats should meet, and discuss, from the stump, the issues of the day as they pertain to questions of government, 10 the end that democratic principles shall be ever kept to the front, till they finally triumph in the nation.
 State Affairs
 That Joseph F. Johnston has made the best governor the state has ever had in her splendid history, is heard on every hand, and those who say so intend no reflection on the distinguished and bril- liant men who have been his predeces- sors in the gubernatorial chair but what they mean to say is, that results show that he has been the right man in the right place at the right time.
 The best evidence of the magnificent success of his management of the finances or the state, which 1t must be conceded were not in the best shape when he went into office, is the fact that the bonds of the state have advanced nearly ten per cent. during his term of office
 And not only has he admirably managed the business affairs of the state but Gov ernor Johnston has performed every duty or his high office so to win the com mendation and confidence of every class of citizens, much to the undoing, I may add, of those who said that if he was elect ed governor, and after he was elected governor, who said if the back tax meas ure became law, an awful state of things would come to pass in Alabama.
 The False Prophets
 These false prophets remind me of leg. end which l read when a boy. In ancient Egypt, 1t was said, there was an idol and certain Worshippers of that idol. It was predicted that if any one molested the idol or in any way interfered with the worship pers thereof, the sun would go out, the moon disappear from the heavens, and the Nile run with blood; the worshippers, how ever, were interfered with, and the idol so the story goes, was thrown to the ground, "a mighty mass of crumbling powder;' yet, the sun shown on as bright ly as ever, the moon still lit up the Egypt ian night, and the waters of the Nile con- tinued to move as ever peacefully on to the sea.
 and the back tax law was enacted and en- forced bringing thousands and thousands of dollars into the treasury, and none of

about time that they should hurrah for themselves? Is it not about time that they should think less about putting some lit- tie fellow in office, and more about their wives and their children? Maybe, though, they are like the man in town and drunk who, on being reminded of his wife and children at home, said: q love my wife and children, but they are not on my mind right now"
 The Future of Silver
 Again you hear it on all sides that the silver question is dead. It is wonderful how often it dies, but it always seems to have resurrection day. When such re- marks are addressed to me, I reply If you think silver is dead, run for office on that platform, and you will soon find out whether it is or not.'
 The silver organization is being kept up in this state, and all over the nation. While the war news occupies the attention
 of the people, yet they are determined on
 the currency question as ever, and as long
 as the gold standard stands at the door
 of every producer and wage-earner and
 exacts a tribute, the efforts to get relief
 will never stop. The silver men never stop
 fighting. They prevented an issue of gold
 bonds as part of the war revenue bill.
 l regard the fact that the $200 900 900 of
 bonds that have just been issued. and sub
 scribed for by the people six times over,
 are payable in coin, is a great victory for
 silver. Besides, the democrats also forced
 a provision for a coinage of the silver
 seniorage. Other questions, of course, will
 arise, but as Judge William Prentiss, whom
 l personally know, said few days ago in
 a speech as chairman of the Illinois state
 convention, "the issues of 1896 are the is-
 sues of 1S9S and will be the issues in 1900,
 and until the essential principles of the Chicago platform are enacted into law Nation No Longer Belittled
 Out of the war with Spain some very valuable lessons have been learned. Some people have learned that this is not after all, little, helpless nation, incapable of running its own affairs, but is the greatest, the richest and most invincible nation on the face of the globe. Even those who be- Titled this country in 1S96 claiming that it could not adopt by Itself that financial ! system admittedly for the best interest of our own people, now admit our country's greatness; and, when 1t is suggested that possibly international complications may
 arise in the settlement of the terms of

clock, and now they have not even that to kick about
 Opposition Leaders Scored
 Nothing else being left to them, they fell back on the old worn-out cry of alleged ballot-box stuffing, and threaten the peo- pie of this state with federal interference in their local affairs, the very thing that the Chicago platform most severely con demns. Who are these men who so threat en the sovereign people of Alabama? Are they not the very men who, in the last presidential campaign, aided and assisted the republican party, which, by ballot-box stuffing and corrupting election managers, in the pivotal states defeated the allied silver forces? Are they not the very men who, knowing that the people did not vote directly for president, but for electors, and that these electors elect a president and vice-president, and knowing that two elec- toral tickets would divide the silver strength, yet they put out separate elec- toral ticket, and urged the people to SUD- port it on the idea that they were casting their votes for the great leader of the sil- yer cause, when in point of fact, as the result showed they were really taking every vote so cast away from him?
 Help Defeat Bryan in 'e6
 They not only did this in Alabama, but Howard, Longshore and others went to the popuist convention at St. Louis, and ig- noring the sensible and patriotic advice of the chairman of their national commit tee, they did all they could to have put out in every state a separate electoral ticket that they knew could not possibly win, but only, as results showed, drew sufficient strength from the ticket that could have won to enable the republican party to carry the election. For change of less than one hundred votes in each county in Indiana, West Virginia and North Dakota, of less than twenty votes in each county in California and Oregon, of less than two votes in each county in-Kentucky, would have wiped out forty-eight electoral votes from the republican column, and would have written victory on the banner of bi-metallism in the nation.
 Self First, Silver Second
 What a glorious result to have been de- feated by the selfshness of men like How ard and Longshore and Dean! The infer ence is irresistible that with them it is self first, and the people second. That they consider it of greater importance that Howard should be elected congressman; in Shelby county, and that Dean should be legislator who did not legislate, than that the people should get ten or fifteen instead of five and seven and a half cents for their cotton. And yet, these are the men who charge on the stump that the democratic party and democratic leaders are insincere in their advocacy of the sil- yer question. If there are any, and there are few who are still hurrahing for this combination, I ask them if it is not
