ConrtinE Their Destruction
(Fairhope Courier)

IF2lTUOpe OVuTItFl
 So far as the attitude of tn" newspapers and the expressions oi the people wherever they are gathered together indicate, puhlit opinion is in favor of the prompt abolition of the system. They realize it's inhumanity and they are not willing that Alabama shall continue in it's disgrace as beiuA the one state only of the forty eight in which the barbaric sys. tenn shall continue. The gentle men of the legislature are not rep resenting public sentiment in their attitude and they arc courtins political destruction by thett course.

No Lasting Third Party

(Memphis Commercial AppeaO
 There may be grounds for fear of third party next year, but it is folly that contradicts our politi- cal history to presuppose the con- tinued existence of three major political organizations. In the first place, three parties anywhere near equal in strength would neg ative elections, of presidents by the people and throw such elections into the house of congress, pro- ceeding that would not long be relished by the voters.

Bills of Particulars

 Voters who are asked by stump speakers to give their support to some particular candidate or fac ton or political organization might well apply in politics the rational rule of demanding bills of particulars before paying se- rious attention to these special pleaders. Partisan audiences are too considerate of orators feelings to ask for bills of particulars. but discriminating, independent citi- zens should make the demand.
