 ON THE CAMPAIGN
 Business Like
 From the Lafayette Sun.
 Governor Johnstons opening campaign speech is clear, concise and business.like Compared to Senator Deans much studied effort it is as a Till from a spring to a stream of dishwater.
 Cheering News From Lamar From the Lamar Democrat.
 Keep up the good work, democrats Cheering news comes from all sections that the opposition is no longer fortifica- tion of strength but that their batter es have been battered down and that the country is beyond doubt in the safe col umns
 Negroes for Warner From the Greensboro Watchman.
 Ad. Wimbs, chairman of the republican executive committee of Hale county, has issued a circular letter to the faithful instructing them to vote for Dedn, the populst nominee for governor of Ala bama It is believed that many of them will refuse 50 obey instructions of the boss and will vote for Warner, the first colored man ever nominated in Alabama for goy- ernor.
 Chambers Is Easy
 From the Lafayette Sun.
 It is generally conceded that the demo- crats will carry the county by large ma majority. Thus Is a foreeone conclus on. It remains to be seen whether the popullsts will waste much more ammunition It goes against the grain to bet against a cer- tanty-to lay your money on a lame horse.
 The Birmingham Amendment From the Coumbiana Chronicle.
 We note that the notice of election al- ready published does not mention the pro- posed Birmingham amendment to the con- stitution of the state This is matter which only concerns the people of that city, and they ought to be allowed what they ask. Voters should not forget to vote for the amendment The failure to give the notice does not Vitiate any votes that may be cast for 1t.
 Watch Etowah in August From the Gadsden Times-News.
 Cheering aeNs comes n from all over E,owah that the G,lnoorSts will be vic torious in Angus, al! n..ng the line and that Etowah county will be redeemed and placed back in the democratic column. The pop leaders are resorting to all kinos or tales and ieee.t to win voters, but the democrats are c(1 cut tint clean ana dlg nified race and are meeting these false re- rorts with s-uhborn facts that cannot De denied. Dem )crats, up at them, and we will win.
 Free to Do as They Like From the Marion County Democrat.
 We see the republican state executive committee ha @ held a meeting and ignored the Warner ticket and call on republicans 10 vote the Deans ticket thus going over soul and body to the populites. We sup posed that when the rerl blicans failed to make a nomination that they intended to fuse with the populists The colored voters can now certainly see how they are re- farded by their ws,s bosse
 Nothing to Assail From the Conecuh Record.
 The administration of Governor John ston will challenge comparison with that of any the state has ever had. In his Tuscumbia speech the governor invites the severest scrutiny, and asks his oppo- nents to find single act of his admins tration to assail. Has one dollar or the peoples money been wasted? Has sin gle duty been left undischarged? Or sin gle law been left unexecuted? If so, let the opposition give the time and place and circumstances Can they find any? NO, indeed. Then why make chanse!
 Doing Their Own Thinking From the Conecuh Record.
 All indications go to show that the more intelligent among the negores are begin ring to think for themselves. They have heen dominated by such bosses as Frank Simmons so long that it is hard for them to sever the old ties; but they are coming to if The more they think of and study the situation the less inclined are they 10 he used as a cats paw any longer our word for it, many of them will sustain inc democratic nominees in August.
 Governor Johnston's Marion County Democrat.
 We regard Governor Johnston's address as an able, conservative and succinc' pre- sen+atien of the state issues upon which tha democratic party will go to battle in f,il confidence of achieving signal victory on inc first Monday in August by an un-
