 Editor The Advertiser:
 What is this about slate Tor mun'cl- pal officers being fixed up and the turn ing out of one or more faithful officials? :? Can 1t be fact that 1t is necessary to carry out the proposed arrangement for an alderman to be given a position now acceptably and capably filled by another man? If such things are done woe to the Councilmen, their aiders and abetters who are responsible for it. There is a limit to patience of the people. The citi- zens of Montgomery already have much cause of complaint and it will take but little more to make it break out into e flame of indignation. Citizen.

friend the South has had since the war,
 and the best President the country has
 had in half a century, is man to be
 abused and lampooned. especially by
 Southern men. If we had no other cause
 for treating Mir. Cleveland fairly and
 justly the fact that he was always a
 friend to our section. and that he proved
 1t by advancing prominent Confederates to positions of high trust would cause
 us to shut our mouths for very shame
 if we had ever felt any desire or inclina-
 tion to speak unfavorably of him. The
 Advertiser Is not built in a way that
 would allow 1t to play the role of political
 assassin towards those who have shown
 themselves true friends of our section.
 What Gray calls "the still. small voice of
 gratitude has not in our nature been
 superseded by prejudice.
 And. finally. we beg The Pilot not to
 waste its kindly pity on The Adver- tiser. If we knew the time would come when this would be the only paper in the South to speak we'll of our only Democratic President in over forty years, that knowledge would not change us by So much as the ninth part of a hair. This paper is not in the habit of exchanging principle for popularity or of shaping It's course to suit a temporary popular breeze. If the time should come when | it must walk solitary and alone in the | path of right and justice 1t will do SC | without either fear or trembling, but | that time will never come in connection | with the subject under discussion. The Pilot was never more mistaken, not even | when 1t went off into the free silver camp, than it Is when it thinks that de- fence of Mir Cleveland will cause any Democrat or Democratic newspaper to lose friends or popularity. The facts are just the other way. The newspapers which now abuse MT. Cleveland are very scattering. Some of them quit it for
 very shame, some because they see the
 wrong of 1t and some because it is no
 longer popular. And the number will
 grow small by degrees and beautifully less till those who keep it up will need search-light to find each other. The Pilot may be one of these and we beg to tender our Kindly pity" in advance.
