HOW THEY STAND.

There is not much doubt as to how
Alabama stands on the presidential
preference relative to the many names
that have been suggested. At dim
ner given to the editors the other day
at Admission a poll was taken of the
forty-two present as follows:
1.-THE vote stood: Cleveland 10,
German 10, Parker 4, Olney 2, Hearst
2, Roosevelt 2, Watterson /, Bryan /,
Hanna l. Those for Roosevelt and
Hearst are republicans. The Alabama
press association is now in session at
Admission.
1t will be seen that Cleveland has
majority by large number while
Bryan and Watterson have only one
each. We would just like to know
what has become of all the Bryan
editors of Alabama and if all the
original democrats have turned trail
tors, according to Mr.. Bryan, and
fallen in line with Mr. Cleveland.
And poll of this state would show
about the same result. This shows
that it is more of an insult Mr.. Bryan
is Offering the people who favor some
one else to him than it is his object to
make the public believe that he is in
earnest in his denunciation of Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan should know

Critz thinks he has the drop
Upon the gubernatorial chair,
But yardaman is going to have it
If it brings the hair.
Noel is funny man
And oft by laughter shaken,
But if he thinks he is going to beat

He is surely mistaken.
Critz will be defeated,
Noel will be beat,
But Vardaman is the man
Who will stand upon his feet.

1t has turned out as being a fact
that at different times a great deal of
money was put into a hole in Jones
county, some estimating the amount
to be sufficient to start several banks.
But since then it has been discovered
that the hole has been pulled out and
carried off, And this spoils the hole
story.
