MOBILE WILL RAISE THE MONEY

From the Mobile Herald.
 An effort is being made to raise Sl,OOO in this state with which to purchase silver service for the hero of the Merrimac, Rich mond P. Hobson, says the Pine Belt News In the new navy9of the United States there is one of the most powerful men-of-war in the world, named for our great common wealth, and little effort has yet been made to raise fund with which to purchase a suitable silver service to present to the officers of the Alabama, as is customary Alabamians are slow in recognizing the great honor that has been bestowed on them In the naming of a battleship Tor their state. They seem devoid of state pride. In commenting on these facts, Lu- cien J. Walker, in the Age-Herald, says: There is one thing needed for the officers of the Alabama to do. They should pro- cure a Pike county gourd, write on 1t Fpom the State of Alabama and hang 1t over the dining table in the wardroom.

Ortseifen, a brewer thus enabling them to appeal to the temperance sentiment of the State; but the Democrats nominated Samuel Alschuler of Kane County, who is confessedly strong candidate Even the Chicago Trib- une admits that the Democrats have in him "a clean, respectable candidate, who will make a dignifed campaign"
 MT Alschuer was born in Chicago forty years ago. He is a lawyer. As member of the lower house of the legislature he made a record that will aid him in the coming canvass. He has no enemiesSin his own party to contend with, and his State reputation is much higher than that of Judges Yates, who was dark horse, and an accident-a judge of local reputation who was chiefly known as the son of his father.
