RETURNS TO TAMMANY.
Democrats Driven Out by Croker Will
 Rally Around Lewis Nixon.

New 1ork special.
 John D. Crimmins. who several years ago withdrew from Tammany Hall. after a bitter quarrel with Richard Croker has signiied his intention of returning to the fold This decision was reached on the part of Mir. Crimmins after only few minutes talk with the new leader. Lewis Nixon Mir. Crimmins said
 ''I am good Democrat and Mir Nix on has taken the leadership of Tam many Hall at great sacrifice to himself. He is actuated by as pure motives as actuates any man in any party in the city. and 1 shall do all I can to aid and uphold him in the work he has un- dertaken. There are many others who feel as I do, and they will do all they can to encourage him if he will give his hest efforts to the party. MT. Nixon will do this as long as he feels that he has the support of the leaders. When he finds that the work he is engaged in is not appreciated he will aabndon it.
 Do you regard the retirement of MT. Croker as a good thing for Tammany Hall?" Mir. Crimmins was asked.
 'T think it was the best thing that could have happened for the welfare oi the organization" he replied.
 MT. Crimmins was a supporter of Mayor Low in the last campaign, and MT. Low tried to induce him to become mem Der of his official family. either as dock commi ssioner or president of the parR board. both of which. however, he de clined for business reasons.

TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1902.
TWO LETTERS.

The Advertiser publishes in this issue letters on a State primarys from ex- Governor Johnston and Gen. George P. Harrison, which appeared in The Mobile Register of last Sunday. The Advertiser, in another article in this issue, has some thing to say on this subject. The Mobile Register says:
 The live State question is whether to hold primaries or to continue the con- vention form of party expression as to candidates for office. Logically, the pri- mary follows from the adoption of the restrictive suffrage clause of the new Constitution. Whether We are ready for it now is the question, and it is being generally debated throughout the State. We have received views on the subject from former Governor Joseph F. John ston. and General George P. Harrison, the latter a member of the Suffrage Com- mittee of the Constitutional Convention.

NEED OF HARMONY.

We regret to see indications that there is a prospect for scramble and wrangle over the gubernatorial nomination this year. It is hardly to be doubted that the opponents of the Constitution will have a candidate if they can find man to make the race, and if they can find some man who favored the new instrument and use him as their weapon. they will select him with the hope that he will be less offen- siye to the ratification Democrats than one of their own crowd would This op- position from the antis is to be expected and must be defeated. The sure way to defeat it is by unity among ourselves and by opposition to anything which will have a tendency to creat dissatisfaction in our ranks.
 If there has ever been a time when there should be peace and harmony in the Democratic ranks in Alabama that time is the present. We are going to make a new start. as it were, and should be in position to move off in solid column. It | is to be our first campaign under the new Constitution and all the friends of that | instrument are equally interested. This is specially true of its Democratic friends. Bryan and anti-Bryan, free coinage and anti-free coinage. should not be consid- cred. The questions which divided. dis organized and defeated the Democrats in two national campaigns have no place in our coming contest and should not be al- lowed to obtrude. All Democrats who fa- yored the new Constitution should set their faces and use thir influence against scramble.
 That there Is danger of such an un- seemly wrangle is plain to any one who watches the signs of the times. We con- tinually see mention made of this or that public man "who may be a candidate" | They, or their friends, seem to be waiting l for one to start and then all will turn
 loose. This is not a satisfactory condi- | tion of affairs, but it is as true as 1t IS unfortunate, and should not be so. The
 advocates of the Constitution ought to
 unite on Governor Jelks without any diff 1 ference of opinion. There are many men | in the State who would make good Gov
 ernors, and under normal circumstances
 We should not be disposed to antagonlze
 their claims.
 But conditions are not normal. We are | morally certain to have the determined opposition of some of those who fought
 the Constitution, and we should be pre-
 pared to meet that opposition without
 division in our ranks, or dissatis- l faction among our forces. It is
 no discredit to other excellent and well qualified gentlemen, and nc
 evidence of antagonism to them, that we
 say that all good Democrats ought to
 work together and make the nomination
 of Governor Jelks unanimous. We do not
 claim this solely because we consider it 1 in strict accordance with precedent i though that should give him the nomina-
 tion unless there should be shown valid
 reasons to the contrary. Leaving that
 usage of the Party out of consideratio

The Kansas City Journal felicitates it. self that Congress is about to take meas ures ito right an old wrong," by which it means to endorse the effort to Crum- packer certain Southern States. Admit committed in connection with elections, The Journal should bear in mind the old adage that two wrongs do not make one right" If the Southern method of regu- lating suffrage is wrong, it will never be made right by the Crumpacker scheme. Just bear that in mind.

we think he should receive the nomination on his merits and his ofYlcial acts. He has made a careful. pains-taking and al- together efficient Chief Magistrate. and ought to be nominated without division, both on precedent and on the merits of the case.
 It would be ridiculous if 1t were not disgusting. to read the remarks of some small newspapers about an accidental Governor" There Is no sense in it. much less argument. Thomas Bibb. Hugh Mo- Way and Samuel B. Moore were all scci- dental Governors. just as much as Gov ernor Jelks is They had all been Presi- dents of the Senate and became Govern ors by the death or resignation of the Chief Executive No charge was ever brought against one of them because he had not been elected directly by the peo- pie. Neither was afterwards a candi- date for the oflice. so far as we know, but if he had been. 'weSllepect that his oppo- nents would hay knted some better charge to urge khim than that he had been maA d3j to fill a va- cancy. And t eoms AoV p later times. MT. Smith beSame seste Trsb burer. Judge Purifoy became etats Auditor and Colo mel Langdon aAd ky Barron became Secretaries of stafe 3otffii vacancies. All of them were afterwards nominated and elected. and the Democrats of Alabama did not think these onicfafs were dis credited because they were t'sccidentar' officers of the State government
 The Advertiser has no personal or spe- cial reason for advocating the claims of Governor Jelks. more than it would in the case of any other good man under like conditions and circumstances, but 1t does desire justice to a faithful official. harmony in the Party and united action among the supporters of the Constitution. Such a course is not only right and just, but it is polite. and there should be no dissenting voice heard in our own ranks.

The Marion County Democrat thus digs The Advertiser in the ribs.

The Montgomery Advertiser has been criticising certain of the country week. lies of late for using editorials gotten up by a syndicate, and says it never knows when 1t quotes original or not. This criticism is all very good and proper. but we do not think there is any excuse for The Advertiser or any other paper to quote from one paper and credit to an- other. We have noticed several in- stances where The Advertiser has copied articles from The Democrat and credited to The Marion County News We have no desire to be quoted, but when We are, we like to get the credit.
 We were not aware of having made that mistake. and there was no excuse for it if we did. for there is never anything in The News that We look on as worth re- producing in The Advertiser. We must be careful in the scissors and paste de- partment in future and avoid giving of fence. as we certainly did in this in. stance.

The Height of Folly.

Limestone Democrat.
 It would be the height of folly to aban- don the new Constitution before 1t has been fully and fairly tested. or to rely upon It's enemies to carry out the objects for which it was framed. To reap the benefits of the reforms called for. il should be left in the hands of it's friends those who are most deeply interested in it. and those who will do all in their power to see that its provisions are car ried out After it has been fairly tested, if amendments should become necessary they can be had. and until the test is made. we submit that no man can tell what the result will be-

But They May Try It.

Dale County News.
 The small opposition to Governor Jelks seems to have some trouble in soaring up a candidate to oppose the Governor. Since the leading men in the State. and the whole press. except a few sniff1ers are for him it would require a man of grit to undertake the race against him. He would have much sprung but poor judg- ment.

Several boys were playing with
sugar dice this morning when a travel
ing man walked up.
"Do you know" he said, that all
the negroes in the south use sugar
dice? Well they do, and very few are
caught with them, for as soon as an
an officer makes his appearance on the
scene they place the dice in their
mouth and eat them. ! see very few
used as far north as this but feel sure
that II the negroes get onto it they
will adopt the scheme"
The dice are made of ordinary lump
sugar such as one uses in his coffee
and the marks are put on with . lead
pencil They last several games be-
fore they become too dirty and worn
to serve any longer and then new ones
are made"
