Joe Johnston has no hope of being Gov

how many of his friend yet survive the
Morgan cyclone of two years ago.-Coosa

Governor Jelks is a straight man. His
adr IN, stration is stainless. and he stands
for honest elections, a white electorate,
bette- public schools, economy in the
expense of government, and the best in
terests of the people generally. He asks
to b" nominated for a second term as
Governor and 1t Is the duty Of the Demo-
cratic party to nominate him overwheIm-
inS'y, and we do not doubt that the par
ty will do its full duty in this matter

was done him, Ex-Governor Johnston
would have the party do, the same wrong

Governor William Dorsey Jelks is gov
ernor of all the people as is shown by
hts magnificent fight for primary, hav-
ing turned a deaf ear to all the advice
and suggestions of leading State politi-
clans who sought to gain his influence for

and manly stand for pure elections and
clean, honest methods.-Brewton News.

We believe that Governor Jelks need
not fear the result. The people are not
going to turn him down. There is no
cause for it that we have been able yet
to find, and no one comes forth to show
whv Jelks' Endorsement should be set
aside simply to crafty a personal whim
of another aspirant who has already re-
ceived all that he could reasonably ask
of tn: party.-Ashville Aegis.

II there was ever time when political

people that time Is now. Yet Captain
Johnston to crafty a selfish, personal am
bftion comes before the people creating
discord. We believe the people of Ala

his course on the 25th day of August, and
buy Joseph F. Johnston under an ava

We know now why former Governor
Johnston yielded to the persuasion OF hi.
friends to run for Governor. We haC
been given to understand that he did no
want the once. that the salary possessed
no attraction for him and that he wal
superior to the honor which the office con
fers. It turns out that the former Cover
nor has a sore toe-one which the Stat
Convention mercilessly mashed in 1870
when IT failed TO endorse his administra
tion-and he Graves the balm of popular
sympathy.-Monroe Journal

Johnston is organizing his forces. But
his mainstays in his State campaign are
tho billy goats of political fanaticsm.
They are the men who have done more to
disoT ganiZe tho party than any others.
Look at benson and Stallings and Coter
AMI others of their ilk. Men who have
become disaffected with the things that
do exist and are kicking higher than
Kentucky mules. And yet he and his
followers are true Democrats Skat
Many of them would turn out of the
70 al before they would meet a Democrat.
Johnston thinks that IL his side doesn't
carry the hag-pole that the party will
go u the demnition bow-wOws. Get out.
Who is to say where, they would carry
the party goose-Falkville Chronicle.
Captain Johnston is politician in the
strictest sense that word implies. He is
an old blackbelter and once knew all the
methods employed there in elections. He
is keen, slick one, and Is never satisfied
unless the political pendulum is in mo-
ton. and swinging pretty lively. His ig-
nc minious defeat two years ago only
sharpened his appetite for revenge. but
he'll never get it in that way The people
of Alabama are not fools and will not
allow him to cure his sore toe at the ex-
pence of the good of the commonwealth
His days of political ascendency are past
His ambition to further ride the political
waves successfully are over. The requiem
was sung two years ago when John T.
MOI gan buried him beneath an avalanch

put on in August.-Ohoctaw Advocate.

.LOFF US TO HAVE CHARGE
WILL MANAGE THE GIANTS WHEN
AMERICAN INVADES NEW YORK.

DETROIT, Mich, March 6.-The club
owners Of the American league have de-
cided to invade New York in 1893 alone
and unaided. During the coming season
they will be content with the eight-club
circuit as it now exists. The advocates
of conservative expansion gained their
point at the meeting today when they
succeeded in passing a resolution which
gives President Ban Johnson the privilege
of removing the headquarters of the
league from Chicago to New York at any
time
that he would make the change in the
near future. but for reasons best known
to himself he declined to name the day
of his exit from Chicago AS a matter of
fact, Johnson and the entire American
league outfit will be moved out of the
Fisher building and into Gotham before
May l. Johnson is to go to New York
this spring and get acquainted with the
pOpulace of the metropolis He will not
deal with either the Spalding or Freed
man faction in the National league. lie
will simply get in touch with the people
and keep sharp outlook for an available
site for a ball park. Next autumn, If
their hopes are realized, the magnates of
the American circuit will be able to an
nOuncC that for the betterment of their
organization they will transfer either the
Baltimore or Washington team to New
York, with Tom LOTUS and Fred Postal
as owners and managers of the new New
York club. If by any chance McGraw's
bunch of Orioles proves stronger than
Lotus group of Senators as a box office
attraction during the coming summer, the
Washington team will be the one to be
transferred, and Baltimore will retain its
place in the circuit. But in any case, Lot
tus and Postal are the men who are al
ready picked by the league to head the IN
vasion of New York in 1903.

HOUSE PLAYS HORSE
BOER WAR MULE PROPOSITIONS
STIRS UP HILARITY.

Inc house yesterday passed the Smith
Eli fer a constitutional convention; kill
ed the StOckwell Boer war mule resolu-
ton; received a resolution calling for a.
reduction of passenger rates; tentatively
agreed upon Tuesday as the date Of final
adjournment, and went on record as op-
posed to changing the method Of ratifyine
constitutional amendments by the peODle
The test Note on the 5Nller-Nichois bill
probably decided the most important
piece Of attempted legislation Of the extra
session, and the most important change
proposed to the legislature since 1897. The
tight had been expected for several days,
and neither side was anxious for the
fray. Representative Nichols yesterday
decided on a sort of forlOrn hope dash
for test vote, and defeat, which will
probably be final was the result.
In 1897 w. w. Dunn, Ramsey, secured
the passage of a bill providing that con-
stitutional amendments can be ratified
only by a majority Of all the voters vot-
ing at the general election at which the
amendments are submitted The fact
that only about one-half the voters poll
cd at any election have voted on proposed
changes in the constitution has made
amendments extremely difficult. but has
resulted. it is claimed, in an intelligent
vote. The Nichols and Miller bills pro-
pose that the majority of the votes polled
upon proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition shall prevail. The opposition to
the Nichols bill, headed by Dunn, Lay
bourn and Mallory claimed that the pro-
posed change is dangerous in the extreme
and may result in a very small per
centage Of the voters of the state max
ing changes in the constitution, which
might result disastrously to the whole

SUPPORT WILMOT
MILLERS WILL BE STRONG
Flour City Fanatics Wanted Out of
Bush League and Now They
Must Show Inter-
est,

President Thomas J. Hickey, president
of the American association, left st. Paul
last night to continue his tour of the
American circuit. President Hickey IL
pleased with the conditions existing IN
ST. Paul, but he is not exactly satisfied
with Minneapolis.
II think st. Paul will be In the run
ming right from the start" said the pres
ident of the new organization, and
think too, that Minneapolis Will loom up
strong but L am far from satisfied with
Minneapolis
''In Wilmot's town the fans have been
Directing to bush league BAH, and last
year the falling off in the attendance
was explained with this excuse. Now
Minneapolis is in strong league. This
season the fans there will have towns
as strong as they had when Johnson
league included Minneapolis in its circuit.
and yet in Minneapolis stranger, reading
the daily papers, would never know
that Minneapolis intended having baseball
during the coming season.
1.-The newspapers of Minneapolis have
not said a word about WiImot's team.
Wilmot is now dickering with a number
of fast players, and when the season
opens he will have strong team but
he is receiving no encouragement from the
papers Of his city, and the fans there
should not rise up and protest If the
AllUnedpOllS man D6cOuleS ulSS uoI6Q anu
does not furnish them with q pennant-
winning team.
''Wilmot has demonstrated several time
that he is able to provide winning ~all
for his patrons. Last season the fans
continually complained II only we had
Wilmot back Now they have Wilmot
in their town and the town is in strong
circuit 1t is up to the fans and the news
papers 20 encourage WilmOt. IL they do
not, why, they cannot complain if Mime
apolis is pushed into the list of dead
baseball towns"
President Hickey is not at a. worried
by the reports telling of the numerous
contract jumpers, and he does not believe
that the opening of the season will find
many of the men signed by his clubs
missing.
Most of the men reported as jumpers"
said Mr.. Hickey, ARE men signed to
Kansas City contracts. That town has
always been recognized as the one town
where we are to fight the Western league
and the Whitfield leaders are working
hard to discourage US there, but l think
before the season starts things Will
change. Several players appear to have
deserted Gear but Gear is. now explain
ing to these men the real state of affairs,
and when they learn the situation 1 think
they will decide to continue as players

clalm continuation Of the present law
makes constitutional amendment impos-
sible.
Mr.. Nichols yesterday afternoon moved
for suspension of the rules and the sub
stitution OF the Miller bill for his own.
A half hour was consumed i'm n call OF
the house, and an hour in debate Then
the proposition to suspend the rules was
voted down, and the anti-Jacobsou crowd
had won its last and most important bat
tie
The Smith constitutional convention Bill
which has occupied a precarious position
at the head Of The calendar for several
days, was passed practically without OPP
position. There were only eleven votes
recorded against 1t. Ninety members
went on record for the convention and
seventeen were absent from necessity or
convenience.
Allen Wants to Go Home
Capt Allen called up his resolution fix
ing Tuesday as the date for adjournment
sine die. Mr.. Allen was somewhat en-
Unused by the passage Of the Smith bill
ana wished to amend his resolution to
make today the last Of the extra session.
His amendment was promptly squelched,
and then the original resolution naming
Tuesday as the last day adopted. The
resolution Is concurrent ana the senate
is expected TO act upon it today.
Mr. Cumming. Populst, Polk county
introduced concurrent resolution galcu-
lated to reduce first-class passeng r rates,
and the institution Of second-class service
on Minnesota railroads. The resolution
went over until today under notice of de-
bate given by Mr.. Hurd. Ramsey.
The consideration Of the StOckwell BOer
resolution gave the house the opportunity
to play horse, for which II has patiently
waited several days. The resolution was
called up by Mr.. Martin. OF Ramsey, who
tried hard enough to make a speech. His
speech was good, but the continual up
roar of laughter and mock applause was
so great that even those members who sat
Immediately next Mr.. Martins desk were
unable to follow his remarks. Mr.. Mar
tin had numerous things he wished to
say about Great Britain and the Beers,
and ne said them despite the fact that
none Of the members knew what ne was
trying to say, and evidently none Of them
carried They behaved In a manner en-
tirely characteristic Of the animals Mr..
Martin wished to deny to the British
army.
