Rurneft,a Hard Fight.

Reports which come to Birmingham from the Seventh Congressional Disc trict are to the effect that Congress- man John l.. Burnett, democrat, is go- ing to be reelected. However. no time is being lost by him and his friends in conducting a sharp cam paign, the Republicans and Populists having joined hands in that district and centered on Powell, of Cullman county. Congressman Burnett is plucky and since he has been in Con gress has done considerable for his district. He Is being given strong as- sistance in his campaign by Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson.
 From the Fifth district comes re- ports that Capt. Walker. Republican. has very little chance against the Hon. J. T. Hefiin. In the Ninth district pr. Armstrong, of Blount county. who was nominated by the Republicans on the 18th. has not yet opened up his campaign against Congressman Under wood. The latter has been notified by his friends of his opposition. Con- gressman Underwood is to go on the stump in New York State in behalf of the ParkerDavis ticket in the next few days.
 The Republican nomination in this district against him will hardly cause a change in his plans as there are no fears that he will be defeated. Con- gressman Underwood is very popular and has strong following in all the counties comprising the district not only in the Democratic ranks but among the Republicans as well. Many of the Republicans in authority in the district have been assisted at times by Congressman Underwood in certain matters secured from a Republican administration.
 In the Sixth district the Republican opposition to Congressman J. H. Bankhead is simply laughed at. There is no doubt expressed at this point but that solid Democratic delegation will be sent to Congress from this State again. The Seventh district Is being watched close, however and before the election some work will be done there

structiOn pass.
Since the ending of the war, however,
in season and out of season by all
known devices, there has been by each
Republican administration.
save that of William Mckinley, an
organized effort to humlliate the
white people of the South, aided and
abetted by some renegade white people
of the South co .laborating with the
administration, and using as their
weapon the negro, the negro being the
least Objectionable of all the agents.
All that has been done in the GO years
in which the South has been the object
of partisan fury, hatred and malice
has been claimed to be the WORK OF
the Republican party. That party
fought the war, 1t tells us; that party
saved the Union; that party freed the
negro; that party, therefore, IS respon-
s1ble directly for all that occurred
during the accomplishment OF those
ends. In a period of 60 years with
never kind act or word, save during
the administration of William McKin-
lev, from the Republican party, but
during that period having been sub
ieeted to the greatest trials and indlg-
mites ever thrust upon descendants
of the Anglo-Saxon race, and all this
the direct gift of the Republican party
does it seem 80 strange that the people
of the South have not fallen down and
worshiped that party? There is no
effort on our part to paint picture
horror and distress. We have simply
stated few of the prominent facts
which history confirms, and no man
can deny, and with these facts before
us submit whether there is any
good reason why Southern people
should be in love with the Republican
party. In the light of such facts would
the South not be rather despised than
admired if she did so. Most Southern
white people who have displayed evil
dences of great admiration for that
party in the light of past events, have
gained but little esteem from their
new found friends, and lost that they
once enjoyed amongst their old. Unit
better treatment is accorded the Soutt
by the Republican party We shall bt
surprised and greatly Inundated If w
see her running and throwing hersel
at the feet of her implacable and insa
table enemy. We will know that tn
hope of spoiIs IS paramount with her
and the chief source of her adulation
if such thing occurs.

Mi Desperandum -Perssvera ndo Vinces.

The following article which we clip
from the Rockingham Register from
the pen of Mr.. Richard Mauzy, now
resident of Rockingham county, who
as it's editor long welded the destinies
of the. Staunton SPECTATOR. The
vig0r of thought and the wisdom of ex-
perience will remind many of our
readers of the days when they were
guided by his counsels, and influenced
by his sound Judgment:
Though the defeat OF the democratic
party in the late presidential election
was not unexpected. the degree of that
defeat was by both parties, being as
surprising to the successful as to the
defeated party. The history of parties
in this country shows that there are
Gibbs and flows in popular sentiment,
as there are in the tides of the ocean.
1t is consOling to know that an ebb al
ways succeeds flow.
Defeat best serves to test the virtues
of parties-their courage, sincerity,
honesty, and patriotism. A party pos
sessed of these virtues will never de
spair, but will concentrate it's energies,
and, with increased vigOr, renew its
efforts for another contest. With the
exercise of the proper virtues it will,
| like the tabled Antaeus, rise with re-
newed strength and vigor from every
defeat. In the past such has been the
case with the democratic party and
such will be the case in the future, If
it shall remain true to it's principles
and character, as we believe it will.
| In 1872 it was defeated as badly, if
not worse. than now. Two years later
it elected majority of Congressman,
and in two years more it elected its
candidate for the Presidency with a
large popular plurality.
There is another consideration which
should console the democratic party
and cause it to look upon Its defeat as
q lesson in disguise. If it had been
successful, the evil effects of republi-
can legislation would be felt during a
democratic administration and the
people would. enormously, hold the
democratic administration responsible
was elected the second time.
Though the writer was one among
the first to recommend the nomination
| Ol OlcV0lduu Ill 1901, dhu III oO uoihS
predicted exactly the electoral vote ht
would receive, and would elect him
yet in 1892 he stated on various occa
sions that as partisan, looking solely
to the interests of the democratic par
ty, he did not consider it wise to elect
Cleveland at that time, for the reason
that the administration would be hello
responsible.for the effects of the vicious
legislation of the republican party; but
as a patriot, looking to the interests o.
the country, he felt it bis duty to sup
port him, as he believed the republican
party was driving the country to de
struction. The democratic party wa!
held responsible, as feared, and it ha'
not yet recovered from that erroneous
Judgment. The people will in time Sc,
the evils of republican rule and will
turn to the democratic party for relief
