sHoRr oN HrsrohY,

In speaking cf his .disarpolntrent over the failure of the Democratic State Con.
 vention two years ago to give his ad-
 ministration an endorsement, ex-Gover- nor Johnston in his announcement for Governor says he had right to expect
 1t, "as 1t had been the unbrcken usage
 and precedent of the party for genera
 tions."
 In waiting all this time to air his grfev-
 ance and to ask the people for vindIca-
 ton for the shortcomings of the Demo
 cratic Convention of lsoe. 1t does seem
 that he would have informed himself and
 have been better acquainted with the
 usage and precedent of the party" He
 must know that in 1872. when the State
 Democratic Convention of that year met.
 it not only failed to endorse Governor
 Lindsay but failed to accord him the
 courtesy of renomination, That year the
 Democratic Party was beaten down in
 Alabama by the use of Federal troops and
 the active participation of United States Marshais. Ex-Governor John ston was given a second term and an endorsement of his first term and he really has no good grounds for complaint against the party. Two years ago when the party met In convention the Governor had made himself particularly obnoxious and objectionable to large class of peo- I pie by his efforts to defeat the reelection of General Morgan for which he was most severely and soundiy rebuked. and it Is fact that need not be concealed that the last State Convention was un- friendly to him and while resolution condemning him could have easily been passed, he and his administration
 of the State government were ig-
 nored. The action of Governor Johnston
 in calling together the General Assembly
 and having killed the law providing for
 the meeting of Constitutional Conven- ton, which he had approved. was another reason why the Democratic Convention failed to endorse him.. He was at the end of his second term and has not near such a grievance
 as had Governor Lindsay. The ex-Gov- ernor win need to refresh himself upon the history of the State before he goes before the people. A little research might also bring to him the information that the people have very little sympathy or patience with any mans personal griey-
 ances or imagined wrongs. and that as a fact no man has ever been denied an en-
 dorsem ant in Alabama simply to onlige or | ,.ts,xRcata auxy auafvfd,,oi The ex-Governor's declaration of his
 candidacy is a disappointment for 1t was thought, from all the clamor and furor he has been making for months that he had something really to found it upon
 but wonderful to relate, 1t all comes about | from a sore toe-the failure of the last l State Convention to endorse him and the remarkable thing about it all is how he l could have gotten the vindIcation now sought and have gotten his appeal be- | fore the white Democrats, if any of those gentlemen he has been irnportuning to run | for Governor had consented to do so. There is a most glarins inconsistency be- tween the ex-Governors announcement and his professed desire to have other gentlemen run.

Platt's Awkward Admission.

Albany (N. Y.) Argus. the Republicans could elect a yellow dog for Governor this year (published in an authorized interview in all the New York papers last Sunday was a surprisingly damaging slip for the usually cautious party dictator to make. We can elect a yellow dog for GoverAor this year. is the defiant attitude of the political boss everywhere. It expresses the attitude of Quay in Pennsylvania. It expressed the attitude of Hanna in Ohio and MT Platt now utters it as the boastful and insolent answer of the Republican corruptionists to thcse citizens who have dared to cry halt" to the extTavs gances and out rages of the administration at Albany.

Afer suffering disappointment and cha grin for two years in private and without a single public utterance to give intima- tio1 of the real trouble. former Governor Johnston TOW tells us that the last Dem ocratic Convention ''reviled and passed by as unworthy of honorable mention" 1" his administration of the State govern ment and for, this action he now appeals ''to the white Democrats" to save him from the dishonor He has borne his inn agined wrong for more than two whole years and all of a sudden ''shies his cas- tor into the ring and exhibits to the peo- pie of the State a mind sorely disturbed over what had long since passed into his tory and been forgotten Perhaps he was seeking that vindication when he ran for Senator, but he said not a word about it then. We will see how far the people are aggrieved and will watch with interest how far they win follow the ex-Governor in his effort to secure vindlcation.

CREAM of the SPECIALS.
BOUTWELL, A DEMOCRAT.
The Venerable Statesman Abandons
 Republican Party.

Boston Special to New Orleans Picavune
 The announcement by the Demoer auc State Committee that ex-iovernor George g. Boutwell,, once one of the most stai- wart of Massachusetts epl5licans. would be present IS guest at the dinner ot the New England Democratic League at Nan tasket, July 24, has aroused considerable interest. It is regarded as the practical passing to the Democratic Party ot one who was once the leader of Republicanisrn in this State. As Republican, he served as Governor. Congressman and Secretary of the Treasury. He says:
 T have heard that I am to be invited: but the invitation has not yet reached me. Shall I attend? That | will decide when I receive the invitation So far as the Democrats are anti-imperlalists l am with them hea2t and soul. shall not vote for Republican candidate Tor Presi' . dent who Is an imperialist."
 At the dinner of the league there will he present: William J. Bryan. Edward M; Shepard of New York. Senator Edward W. Carmack of Tennessee and Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas

 Among those who were present at the conference of the second Morris Hotel Democracy we note with especial interest the ex-ofice holders under the appoint ment of the ex-GoveFnor. There were Hon James Crook of Calhoun. former President of the Railroad Commission; Capt. s. B. Trapp of Montgomery, former President of the State Board of Convicts; IT. L. Badham of Jefferson. former Tax Commissioner; J. deB. Hooper of Jeffer- son. former Mine Inspector; Dr. W. H. Flake. former Convict Physician; Hon. w. H. Lawson of Montgomery. former Chief Clerk to the Convict Board, and others who filled smaller places, and who, no doubt. can see them all again looming up in the dim distance in the event of the Governors tiect;on for the third time to the highest office in the gift of the people. Then there were ex-Auditor W. s. White of Colbert and ex-Attorney General w. l.. Martin of Montgomery, -ex-Congress- man Jesse F. Stallings of Montgomery, ex-speaker Charles E. Waller of Hale. ex-Congressman w. II. Denson and a long row of ex's who hope to get back Into office again under the lead of the ex-Gov- ernor.

2 The ex-doyernor says that but four men in all the history of the State have been called to the office of Governor by the death or the resignation of the Gov ernor elected by the people. and not one of these was ever elected to the office |" Probably 50. but he neglects to tell that only one of them was a candidate for re- election and he was Samuel B. Moore of Jackson. defeated by John Eagle on the anti-nullihcation sentiment then so preva- lent and not from any personal objection to him. The others were Thomas Blob and Hugh Mcvay. who did not ask re- election or endorsement. Governor Jelks is the last and the people in our judg- ment will elect him. The ex-Governor stands for vindicatlon and the Governor for endorsement--the people are the ar ''tArs and the result cannot be doubted.

MIXING THE JAcKsoNs.

We note that several of our contempo- raries and among them the well inform ed Richmond Times. have been repub- fishing the beautiful poem, My Wife and Child" and crediting 1t to Stonewall Jackson, instead of Gen. Henry R. Jackson of Georgia. The former won imperishable renown as a fighter but we have never heard that he wrote poetry. The Georgia Jackson, on the contrary, was noted both as a diplomatist and for his scholarly at- tainments. That he was also a poet Is evident to any one who will read the poem in question, and his book entitled ''Tal- lulah, and Other Poems" published in and read than 1t is.
 Although the military fame of Henry R. Jackson is eclipsed by that of Andrew and Stonewall Jackson. he was not alto gether unknown as a soldier. He held the office of Colonel in the Mexican war. In the war betwee the States he was ap- pointed a Brigadier General, and was with Hood in the Tennessee campaign. At the battle of Nashville in 1884 he was captured and remained a prisoner at Johnson's Island and Fort Warren till the war closed. It Is also not out of place to mention that~he served as charge d'af- Saires and Minister at Vienna from 1854 to 1858, under Pierce and Buchanan. This short sketch is given to correct errors and to render justice to a noted Georgian

Editor The AdVerfiser: T
 Does not the endorsement of Waller for Lieutenant Governor simultaneously with the nomination of Johnson for Gov ernor by conference In Birmingham, meansthat in the event of their election that Johnston would rot qualify for Gov ernor, but that Waller would and In the event of Senatorial vacancy that Waller would appoint Johnston Senator? It certainly has that appearance. As is well known Johnston does not want to be Governor, but Is very anxious for the Senatcrship, while Waller wants to be Governor Let the people know the truth.

roo Much Loss of Blood.

New York Times.
 When Joseph Chamberlain was pulled out of the wreck of ms hanson by po- Iicennan he remaVSe1 that he did not feel faint. but could not afford to lose such d lot of blood" Precisely thus felt the typicaI Englishman as his nation emerged from the Boer war, now happily over. He recognized that he had been through a rough experience. and, though he did not feel faint. he recognized the fact that he could not afford to lose such a lot of blood. Treasure is replaceable; the wip- ing out of the flower of the nation by the casualties of war is a permanent impoverishment of British strength for which no material advantage attainable in South Africa is compensatory.

Former Governor Johnston has a griev- ancc. He has been harborinE this i'll feeling against the party since 1900 and Eas just brought it to light. For the sake of his name and children he seeks vim dication at the hands of the people for what he considers a slight at the hands of a Democratic Convention That is the secret of his favoring a white primary for everybody and now that he is again before the people we are curious to see with his sore toe.

Former Governor Johnston boasts that under his administration that the bitter passions and resentments that had so long unhappily divided the white men of the State into hostile political camps almost entirely disappeared" And yet after two years of peace and tranquility with the aforesaid bitterness and passions almost plotted out we find the ex-Governor viz orously endeavoring to revive them and to plunge the State into a campaign of bitterness and resentments simply to vim dieate him for what he regards personal snub. Is that his idea of real patriotism?

SENATOR SOONER.
The President is Anxious for His
 Reelection.

Oyster Bay Special to Chicago Record
 Herald. %-
 The President is very much concerned about Spooner's reelection and would be very glad to do something to help it on if he only knew what to do. He de- clares that there Is no more valuable man in the country and to the Republican Par ty in Congress than MT. Spooner, and that Wisconsin owes it to the rest of the coun- try to send him back instead of an untried men without his ability and experience No man in the Senate is so alert and so faciie as Spooner. None can fence success fully with him in debate. No other Sen. ator Is so quick to perceive political advantage or to utilize It. for the benen. of his party. Spooner has accompiished more during the last session of Congress of national importance than any man in either house His ready resources his fertility of ideas and expedients makes him very useful when the Republicans are in close corngr, and thus Tar ne mas never failed to lead them out. The Pres- ident told me that he should consider It personal and a national misfortune If MT. Spooner was not reelected to the senate.

 It will be a happy day for this country when a system of just and reasonable ar bitration can be agreed upon by capital and labor generally and faithfully sd hered tc. Strikes are one of the worst ferns of waste, and the harm that comes from them, as rule, is not to be meas urel by the money loss they cause, enor- nous as it is.

The St. Louis Dispatch is firing hot shot into somebody. because of the impure milk being sold In that city. It declares that much of it is impregnated with dangerous disease germs, and If that is true the paper is doing right to kick. Impure water and milk are two of the greatest enemies to human life with which people of the cities have to contend, and the pitiful feature of the danger. so far as the milk is concerned. is that it too often means disease and death to helpless infants and children.

 There is no doubt about the policy and the principles of the Democrats. The Democratic policy is against the trusts and for tariff reform and for Philippine freedom.
