sions upon this subject in all parts of the


state.
"Resolved, that we request the next
legislature to submit such an amend
ment to the constitution of the state as
will secure to women the right of suf
frage."
A protest was submitted by the min
ority objecting to the denomination of
Governor St. John, "believing his candi-
dacy to be obnoxious to large majority
of the republican voters and that it
would tend to endanger republican sue
cess in number of counties in the
state"
To add to the dissatisfaction caused
by the adoption of the prohibition and
women suffrage planks at convention
of the w. G. T. Union, held a few weeks
later, the following resolution was passed
by that body: "Resolved, that the
thanks of this union are due to the re-
publican state convention, not only for
the denomination of Governor st. John,
but also for the recognition of the fact
that the time is coming for the men of
the state to decide by ballot, whether or
not their wives, mothers, sisters, and
daughters shall be longer classed with
lunatics, paupers, criminals and Chi
nese."
The two planks created widespread de-
Elections in the rank of the republican
element.
A political body called the Sons Of
Herman sprang up in every locality,
the object Of the order being, primar-
lily, the defeat of prohibition and un-
qualified opposition to equal suffrage.
Many leading republicans refused to
submit to the dictates and platform of the
party, and not few, including Lucian
Baker, whose six year term as United
States senator from Kansas expired last
March, took the stump against the ticket
in favor of Charles Robinson, the candi-
date of the liberal party.
ST. John, alone, of the entire ticket,
was defeated by his democratic oppon-
ent by S,O79 votes. The republican sec.
retary of state was elected by plurality
of 1851 and colored man, E. P. Nc.
St. John opened a vigorous campaign
in New York state, menacing the success
of the republican party. This at once
became apparent to the leaders in Kan
sas and the necessity of his withdrawal
from that field became most import
ant issue, speedily to be accomplished,
whatever drastic measures were neces-
sary to the elimination of this object.
James F. Legate, of Leavenworth was
selected for this purpose.

quarters, a few days subsequent to the
Ohio election. The smoke of battle hav-
ing cleared up with satisfactory ma
jority in that state, Mr.. Matt Quay in

can national campaign, informed him
that the moral effect of the election
would be such that New York would
swing into line and could be relied on;
that neither Mr.. st. John nor any other
party traitor, nor any combination
of circumstances could defeat the
republican electors in New York
and all negotiations were off.
Legate is we'll known for his terse and
vigorous language, and dumbfounded
for moment at the elimination of his
efforts, he addressed the Pennsylvania
senator as follows: "Mr. Quay, have
always heard you spoken of as con-
summate scoundrel and liar, I can now
corroborate from personal knowledge,
the truthfulness of such attributes of
your character"
New York gave the Cleveland electors
a plurality of 1918. The st. John pro-
hibition vote of 25,O06 in that state has
never yet been attributed to any deflec-
tion in the democratic ranks. The pos
sibility of convicting that party on
charge Of aiding and abetting the cause
of temperance could no more be justly
secured, than the recovery at this date
of drop of water spilled in the desert
of Sahara in the days of the crusaders.
The only conclusion we can arrive at,
is that large portion of the prohibition
vote for St. John, logically belonged to
and would have been cast for the repub-
lican candidate, had the personal feat
ures of the cause been removed from the
empire state.

secured the Office of auditor by 20,130.
Two years previous st. John carried
the state by 1897 over E. G.. Ross,
whose vote in the United States senate
saved President Andrew Johnston from
impeachment and who manifested his
poetic temperament, by taking the oath
of office as Governor of New Mexico, at
sunrise, facing the east, in Difference to
his Mexican constituents, who are ever
looking for the coming of Montezuma
from that point of the compass. This
gubernatorial position was bestowed up
on him by President Cleveland.
The decisive defeat of st. John rank
led in his breast. The ambition and
cherished aspiration of lifetime, seat
in the upper house of congress, vanished
into all oblivious, shadowy past. The
election of his democratic competitor, G..
w. Click, he considered personal af
front cast upon him by his erstwhile
political associates and revenge became
his one dominant, absorbing aim.
He sought and secured the president
ial nomination of the prohibition party
as means of satiating his animosity
against those who had honored and then
cast him down. The motive was so
evident that one of his former prohibi-
tion lieutenants and political associates,
from time immemorial, Albert Griffen,
in his paper, the Manhattan Nationalist,
paid his compliments to his former chief
in the following emphatic terms:
"It is true that St. John is hated, but
the reason is, that hundreds of thousands
of prohibitionists believe he is a hypo-
critical scoundrel, who has used glori-
GUS cause to advance his own personal
ends and sacrificed it to gratifty his own
vanity and spleem."
The efforts of the contending hosts in
the memorable campaign of 1884 were
centered in New York and Ohio, the
latter being at that period an "October
state and the slogan, GAS goes Ohio, so
goes the Union" rendered it the great
battle ground.

ernor, the year previous, by $4,000 ma

forth by both factions to secure these

Mr.. Charles Petty, Spartan

sronse to your inquiries OF the
.l1th inst, | have been laboring
for thirty years for the promo
ton of better methods in ,ur
Southern agriculture and through
this the increase Of intelligence
aud prosperity of our farmers.
Your first question as to the ne
cessity Of deepening and more
thoroughly pulyerizing The soil
before planting strikes at the
root Of the matter. The most
important thing for the farmer TO
do is. to secure good texture
through the agency of thorough
tillage. Without this much
labor in the planting, fertilizing
and cultivating the crop is done
in vain. There is an old saying,
which is especially applicable to
farming, viz: "One bad joL
makes another" II good texture
is not secured before planting
we are apt to have poor stands Of
weakly plants, poor cultivation
and small crops.

FIGURES vs. FIGURES.

Last night in his speech at the Court House, ex-Governor. Johnston dwelt upor the danger of negro rule in the Black Belt if the new Constitution was ratified He carefully concealed the fact, however, that even if every negro in the Black Belt who can read and write should reg ister under the new Constitution, that the number of black and white voters would then be about even. He also care fully concealed the fact that if there is no change and the old Constitution stands, that the negro voting strength under the census of 1900 in the fourteen Black Belt counties. will be 79,31f against 26, ,6S0 whites. Now, viewing the matter in the light of these undis puted figures, which is the most likely to give negro rule in the Black Belt, the old or the new Constitution?
 He ignored the fact, too, that very few negroes could qualify under the property test In the county of Montgomery, out side the city limits, the number of ne- groes who pay taxes on $500 worth of property is only 16S. There is not much danger of their ruling under that clause The same proportion exists throughout the fourteen Black Belt counties.

cases titles are missing or have never been perfected: in others, the titles are wrong. and in many cases people are liv- ing on lands to which they have no title.
 Both the Secretary of State and the Superintendent of Education have for years seen the condition of land affairs, and have tried to bring some order out of the chaos which has so long existed, but 1t has not been in the power of either department to do all that was needfui. and those officials have more than once called attention to the need of a separate officer or agent to take charge of all land matters in which the State Is inter ested. The act of 1s9s-9 was passed to provide for such agent, and that is the vacancy now to be filled.
 The Advertiser does not feel that 1t Is assuming too much when 1t calls the at- tention of the Governor to the importance of this office, and to the importance of appointing a man who Is thoroughly fitted for that class of work. Governor Jelks has shown a determination to fill all of- fees with competent mon, and he has stated that he will do so in this instance. The Advertiser has nothing to gay of the gentlemen who have applied for the posi- ton, but feels at liberty to endorse the Governors public statement. and to ex- press it's confidence that he will appoint a man with both the experience and ca- pacity to render good service to the State as we'll as to the land owners.

THE unnR IS AT HAND.

rornorrow the voters of Alabama VIII have the opportunity of deciding Tn taVor of a new Constitution. In view or all the facts. it is hardly to be presumed that a maturity of them will favor its reJection.
 The arguments in favor Of the ne" ,rs,rument have been made so often that i, ,s useless to repeat them now. The orsat incubus of unlimited negro suf- frage that has so long rested upon the State. will undoubtedly be removed by the ratification of the new organic law while there will be no cultailment or the voting power of the whites. This alone ought to commend to to those who have known and realized for years the danger that lurked in an immense Eegro vote.
 The saving in the running expenses of the State government would alone justify the ratification. There will be no trouble if the Constitution is ratified in exchang- ing the old State bonds for new ones, at an annual saving to the State of from s1o0 0J0 to $i50,0o0. The power to create courts is curtailed. The authorization of bends by towns and counties is limited and made dependent upon the will of a majority of the voters. The educational fund is increased and made permanent, so that it will be free from the whims of legislators. When the State Legislature meets, its time will not be taken up with local matters to the exclusion of weigh tier measures. In a thousand ways, the people of Alabama will be benefited by the ratification of the new Constitution.
