Gen. Grosvenor's talk of a third term
has attracted more than ordinary at
Republican leader. He has maintained
place in the front rank of political
prophets since the election of the fifty
fourth congress. when he predicted an
overwhelming majority for his party
and gave the figures. Since then he
has been known in the political world
as "Old Figures" The old general took
the credit for that prediction, but 1t
really belonged to a newspaper man
named John Kennedy, who prepared a
table showing what the Republicans
would do and attributed 1t to Gen.
Grosvenor.
The willy old politician stood for the
figures all right, and as they came out
remarkably close to the actual result
his reputation as prognosticator was
at once established. He did the right
thing by Kennedy, however, as he had
the latter appointed as member OF

of many of his colleagues, who would
give ten years of their lives for an ap-
pointment to what is no doubt the

The third offer to Knox came the

HARD UP FOR A GREvANoE.

The Greensboro Watchman Is evi- dently hard up for something to say, judging by the following:
 The Montgomery Advertiser of last last Cunningham had a joint debate at Reform in Pickens county. and then its snecial reporter, who goes aoout with the genial Doctor to give. account of his speeches, proceeds to tell that MT. Conner was entitled to an hour and a quarter to speak. yet so far as The Advertisers account Is concerned he did not speak at all, for # utterly fails to make mention of the fact. But of course it Is to be presumed that My Conner did speak. How is that for fair and impartial journalism. such as one has a right to expect Of paper occupying the position Of The Adver- Tt ii is to be presumed that The Ad- yertiser has among its subscribers par ties who favor Mir. Conner for cover nor, and 1t would seem that good bus. mess Judgment, If nothing else. would TS deven though opposed to him) the semblance of fair deal
 The Advertiser did for months what no paper supporting Mir. Conner did in Alabama. It reported his speeches some of them in full. yet he was so averse to letting the people know ex- actly what he said that he spoke of 1t as "hounding" him. Why should he object, if not for the reason that he was pursuing a policy and something which he did not want spread out bo- fore the people.
 As to the Reform meeting The Ad- vertiser did. what no Conner support ing paper did. It sent a special rep resentative there and an operator from the Western Union office in this city to wire the matter as rapidly as pos sible. The matter was very late in getting here. as speaking did not close until after 10 o'clock, and had to be then put in type. pr. Cunningham spoke first and of course what he said came first. That portion of the re- port was in type to catch the first edition of the paper, which had to go to press Tn order to make certain railroad connections. The matter that did not come in time for the first edition was put In the second and MT Comer's remarks were fairly reported and printed. We regret that every reader of The Advertiser did not gel the fullest reports of Mir. Corners Re- form speech, for in 1t he exhibited his usual infirmities of temper which render him unfit to be the Governor of Alabama. His remarks. as usual were not on a line to commend hiH to sober-minded, thinking people.

 That combination of political rooters in Birmingham is surely stirred up at the accumulatfng evidence that their game is caught on to by Democrats, and they will loose out on August the 27th, and now they are beginning to cry out fraud is contemplated and an effort will be made to count out Conner in the primary. This from set of men who have been doctoring reports for the newspapers of Corners great landslide for the last month to deceive the pubic mind in regard to his great strength. ,. If Conner was sure of land slide in his favor such reports would not Dc made. The overwhelming ava lanche would defeat any such schemes Cur readers know how these reporters did Hon. Wni. Richardson up, and how as a spider bounces fly having victi- mixed it for it's morsel, how the con- gressman was driven to the public prints in self defence to deny. and re- as such means are to deceive the people In the rural districts, the exposure of the report from Columbiana, Shelby county makes matters many times gregation. We do not care to dwell on such pictures of depraved ingenuity to obtain success; but the Democrats bia exposure that It is the intention of the Birmingham rooters to vote everything in the primary from bull puru to a amalgam of populism and Republication to defeat Cunningham; and If money will do 1t it will be done even now 1t is reported the boosters are once more shipping Conner lttera- ture out by the cart load-a report we know to be true because already the third edition of that big sign-board head letter circular reached this point last week. Never before In the history of a gubrnatorial campaign has can didatC ever attempted to purchase the support of the rural press by sending In announcement fees, or otherwise em- ploying the newspapers with jobs to Keep them in line for him. We have published the evidence from his own mouth pieces to prove that Conner has be ,n and Is doing this very thing, and now comes more evidence as follows from another ofwhis mouth pieces:

 What does any one find in that let ter beyond renaSn ol CoheT own eXtravagant claims and misrepresenta- tions? It's a poor document from the brain of one of the astutest corporation lawyers of Birmingham, and who now seems to be depended on by Conner to help him in a bad cause.

nnowREArING THE PRESS.

Among the greatest weaknesses of Mir. Conner is his hatred of free press. He has done and is doing more than any other public man in Alabama ever has to browbeat and intimidate the newspapers of this State
 He first displayed this evidence of his narrowness and intolerance nearly two years ago when he started a suit against The Advertiser and The Bir- mingham Age Herald for printing as a paid advertisement by Hon. J. V. smiths Campaign Committee an afi- davit over the signature of Birming- ham citizen arraigning his methods as a business man. This suit is still pending in the courts.
 Mir. Conner next displayed his intol- erance of a free press by intimating in his speeches last winter that many Alabama papers had been subsidized by the railroad corporations out of a big corruption fund alleged to have been used against him two years ago. He would have the public believe that was the cause of the large majority of Alabama newspapers being against his ambition to be Governor. He went so far as to intimate that The Advertiser had received $20.OOO from this alleged fund. and challenged The Advertiser to print what it had received. When we declared that we had received less than S1,5O0 for advertising in the campaign against him and none of that from railroads, and offered our books for inspection, he dropped the subject with some sheer. He had done all he could to undermine the confidence of the peo- pIe in a free and honest press.
 Later on when he alone was speaking
