 FeeIing Of Loyalty.
 while there was an intense Union sentiment in the South up to the hour or secession, yet 60 from a feeling that t was not wise to leave the Uhion and not from any disbelief in the right of the states to do so. When the act of sep aratfon was proclaimed. it became the act of all the people and the pages of history do not record more united feels fng than that which followed m the Confederacy the declaration of war.
 'sThe same feeling of loyalty to home and Kindred and to fixed principle led fhe hosts of the North and East and West to rally around the fag of the Union and in the end to bear 1t to com oIeta victory. It Is the honest convict ion Of those of the losing side that having appealed to the great arbiter of battle and lost that the bonds of Union win be more closely drawn and that r,thtnr m the future will lead to repe- tifton of past divisions, sorrows and

MARTIN WON IN JONESBORO

Bessemer, September 2.-(SpeciaL)-
Walter L. Rush defeated ]. d. O'Gara
for mayor of Bessemer by a majority Of
226 votes Up to the noon hour today it
looked as though an exceptionally light
vote would be polled but after o'clock
business picked up and the total of $40
votes is considered good.
The system of voting at separate poll
ing places, one in each ward, had the
most desirable effect of almost entirely
eliminating the noisy arguments that
usually prevail around an overcrowded
polling place, and the election was an
exceedingly quiet one.
Some surprise was expressed in Mayor
Rush having carried every ward by such
large majorities, even the most enthu-
siastic Rush men having thought that
O'Gara's chances would have been better
in at least the Fourth ward. The follow
ing is the vote by wards: First ward
Rush Il, O'Gara 10; Second ward, Rush
LAT, OGara "a; Third ward, Rush 96,
O'Gara 20; Fourth ward, Rush 81, O'Gara
81. Totals Rush 365, O'Gara 1879.
There was no opposition to the nomi-
nees of the primary for board of alder
men, the following being the confrma-
ton: President of the council, l. A.

evidence of the interest manifested. Frank

handsome majority he received, In this
connection 1t might be stated that in
this section of the community, namely
Ensley, Wylam and Pratt City, a fight
was made on the administration in each

interview stated:

for me in the election, as I consider it
an Endorsement of my official acts. While

CONTINUED FROM PAGE IL


ton over Brownsville was in large part
not a genuine agitation on behalf of
the colored men at all, but merely one
phase of the effort by the representatives
of certain law-defying corporations to
bring discredit upon the administration
because it was seeking to cut out the
evils connected, not only with the cor
rupt use of wealth, but especially with
the corrupt alliance between certain bus
mess men of large fortunes and certain
politicians of great office, The venomous
hostility of these interests and of their
special representatives in public life and
in the press, to the nomination of Mr.
Taft was merely the natural sequence
of their hostility to the measures of the
administration for the regulation of great
corporations doing an interstate business
and to the attitude of the administration
in constantly prosecuting all Offenders
of great wealth, precisely as it has prose-
cuted all other offenders. Mr.. Taft has
been nominated for the very reason that
he is the antithesis of the forces that
were responsible for Mr.. Foraker. The
