of course his opportunities for
observation were somewhat
limited, but from what he can
gather, the political situation is

by those who are in a position
to know, that New York is go
ing to do some very effective
work in this campaign and our
national candidates are grow
ing in favor. The outlook is
most encouraging, and they
urge Democracy everywhere to
work unceasingly thoroughly
organized and there is no fear
of the future success of our
cause. The national campaign
committee will meet tomorrow.
It is practically settled that
Senator Gorman will be elected

: Tlif. hoii of Alabama,
From llic I'iiila'lclplita Times.
Twice within two years tho
Southern States have been on
the very verge of political revo
lution, and twice they have been
halted by the mad suicide of
the Republican leaders iu
flaunting the Force Bill into the
faces of the Southern people.
Alabama was trembling in the
balance in the spring of 1890,
when the Farmers' Alliance was
in its early vigor; but a Repub
lican House rushed a Force
Bill through that body, against
the earnest protests of the Re
publicans of the State, and ev
ery industrial centre where
Northern men and capital do
minated, and where a majority
of the voters were Republicans,
voted next to unanimously for
the Democratic State ticket.
Before the National Conven
tions were held, several of the
Southern States were admitted
ly in a most chaotic condition.
and with prudent, patriotic Re-
Eubucan leadership would have
een doubtful in the Presiden
tial battle; but the overwhelm
ing Democratic majority in
Alabama proves that from the
d;y the Minneapolis Convention
indorsed the; Force Bui,, and
nominated a candidate for Pre
sident who had made the Force
Bill one of the aggressive fea
tures of his policy, every South
ern Electoral vote was assured
for the Democratic candidate.
The ..South is now solid for
Cleveland, and none can ques
tion the integrity of Southern
sentiment, as the colored voters
came to the front and made
open battle against continual
sectional and race disturbance.
Had the Republicans of both
races bowed to party policyand
voted for the fusion ticket, it
would Lave, been successful;
but when such centres of North-
era citizenship as Birmingham
give overwnelming Democratic
majorities, and when the more
intelligent and mnuen ial col
ored voters take an open stand
and electioneer and vote the
Democratic ticket, it means that
sectional and race tranquility is
imperatively demanded by the
intelligent of both races, and
that there can be no Republican
victories in the bouth until Re
publicanism .means peace.
Such is the verdict of Alaba
ma on last Monday, and none
will pretend that it was the re
sult of intimidation of the col
ored voters. It was the colored
voters themselves who led in
the revolt against their own
party and us 1'residential can
didate: and today the colored
vote of the South has unalter
ably anchored every Southern
btate in tht Cleveland column
for November.
The battle just closed in Ala
bama was made under the most
favorable circumstances by the
f usioniBts. They had a defeat
ed Democratic candidate for
Governor, with all the earnest
ness and devotion of his friends;
they had the Farmers' Allt
ance whose favorite had been
unhorsed by the Democrats;
they had the Republican or
ganization apparently warmly
enlisted to overthrow Demo
cratic rule in the State; but the
Alliance voters steadily fell by
the wayside as they saw a os
sib!e victory for the Force Bill,
and on election day prominent
colored leaders, for the first
time openly and zealously sup
ported the Democratic ticket.
They did it because they want
peace; because in every revival
of race or sectional strife the
tht colored people are the chief
victims, and because they pre
fer settling their own disputes
with all races. The colored
brother has finally risen up to
command peace; to forbid wan
ton sectional and race distur
bance in which he is ever the
sufferer; to admonish the Mat
ant demagogues of the North to
cease their malicious libels
upon all races in the South, and
he has spoken with such em
phasis that ho who runs may
read. Such is the lesson of
Alabama in 1892.
Lovers' quarrels, like hot po
tatoes, blister, but do not leave
a scar.
, Personalities,
When uen. Stevenson was
asked his opinion of his Rcpub
lican competitor, Mr. Whitelaw
Reid, he stated that Mr. Reid
was a man against whose char
acter he had nothing to say, and
that personalities would not be
a part of his campaign, but he
intended to fight it : out on tho
line of Democratic principles.
lias is the right stand to take.
We believe Republican princi
ples are antagonistic to the
welfare of tho people and that
Democratic principles afford
the remedy to right the evils
the people are laboring under.
This, we think, can easily be
shown, and a campaign of edu
cation, pointing out the evil
tendency of Republican princi
ples and the wisdom f demo
cratic principles, will accom
plish better results than person
al abuse.
The people ' are looking for
relief from oppressive burdens
and they care nothing for per
sonal matters, unless they are
of such a character as to effect
the public welfare.
A Republican Scheme, v
The Republicans knew that
they cannot hope to break the
solid South by a strict party
fight between the Democratic
and Republican parties. By
cunningly taking advantage,
however, of the tmra party
movement, they hope to gain
the electoral votes of a few
Southern States, or cause the
votes of those States to go to
the third party. In either case,
it will be a Democratic loss and
a Republican gain.
Alany members oi the Alliance
see the scheming trickery of the
Republicans and are arraying
themselves against the third
party, knowing that Republican
successin the coming election
means, at least, four years more
of bondage of the farmers to
the money-kings. Before the
8th of November we believe
few will be found in all the
South that will be willing to
support the third party under
existing circumstances.
The Republicans are glad to
see divisions in the Democratic
ranks. They are going to make
a more active and unscrupulous
campaign in the South than
ever before, because they are
inspired with the hope of riding
into power en account of the
third party movement.
if they can only get into
power again, they hope to per
petuate that power by passing
the force bill. Southern men,
you cannot bo blind to the game
the republicans are playing.
Bury all differences, let there
bono dissentions, and in solid
phalanx meet the enemy and
thwart his plans.

A Practical henmu.
An army in the field in Penn
sylvania, the President issuing
a proclamation against the in
surrectionists in Idaho, and the
United States soldiers pursuintr
aud arresting by the car loads
men belonging to the Union in
the State of Washmzten. And
all this in the face of a tremen
dous high tariff tax levied, you
see, just for the benefit of the
ungrateful laborers. That, at
least, is the way Money Bags
fiuts the case. Of all the dead
ailures for help and dead-falls
for tax-payers ever builded by
cunnintr brain of oppressive
man this McKinley thing "takes
the cake." act. u the labor
ing men of all sections and con
ditions and colors do not learn
a practical lesson from the
recent demonstrations of in
equality and insufferable bur
den of high tariff, then they
will deserve to be more burden
ed still.
GtNKRAL Fielp in speaking
about the force bill says; "Oh.
that's nothing! A bugbear. A
mero skeleton to frighten the
people not worthy of consid
eration." Then why does the
General's party arraign the
Republican party for its position
on the force bill f It seems to
us tho General is getting too
close to the Republicans to
stand upon the Peopte's party
platform.
Two years ago tho Republi
cans declared that thfir pet
tariff would shut out foreign
goods. Now they are trying to
show that importations have
increased under it. This is
called logic and consistency,
but sensibto people call it
"craw-fishing."

Mr. WllkeraoiT. Candidacy.!
The People's Party, in their nomi
nations, nationally as well as locally,
have taken up some political hacks,
several of whom have sought office
at the hands of various parties, and
in most instances they failed they
are men who are unstable in their
political ways, and from the records
it would surprise no one if they did
not change now to catch favorable
breezes.
Ia this county Mr. John C. Wilker
son was nominated for Register of
Deeds over Paul A. Brown, who,
perhaps, has done as much, or more
than any other man, to keep tho
party alive and bring it up to its
present status. In 1884 Col. Wilker-
son ran against Pat Lunsford. He
was either nominated or endorsed by
the Republicans, one or the other, at
any rate ho was opposing the Demo
cratic nominee. After strenuous ef
forts to gain the coveted office, and
soliciting the votes of the Republicans
and negroes, and finding, in the af
ternoon on the day of election, that
he was defeated, ho voted the Demo
cratic ticket, so we aro told, thus re
pudiating his own work and the
party and the colored people who
endorsed him. This is tho People's
Party candidate for Register of Deeds
of Durham county; Are men who
believe hi a straight forward course
going to support him? What as
surance have they that he will not do
the same thing in this election! A
political candidate is judged by his
political record.
MR. CARTER'S SCARE.
Alabama baa Already Glvon Him a
Dttoldad Anawer.
Wasiiinotos, D. C., Aug. (5.
Special correspondence. Chairmau
Carter of the Republican National
Committee is in Washington this
week and is reviving the old scaro
abDut proposing to carry a lot of
Democratic States in the South.
The object of this is two-fold. First
it helps to encourage the workers in
other States, and next it is supposed
to divert the attention of Democrats
irom me actum Dauie-grouna. luo
States upon which Mr. Carter claims
to have his (-ogle eye are Alabama,
the two Carolinas, and West Vir
ginia, it is true that conditions'
exist in some of these States which
would make them debatable ground
if the Democrats were apathetic and
a mint of money were used on the
other side, but it is probable that the
greater part of Mr. Whitelaw Rcid's
corruption fund will be used some
where else. Well informed and un
biased observers consider that tho
Democrats have a much better show
of carrying Illinois and Wisconsin
in the west and New Hampshire and
Massachusetts in the east than the
Republicans have of getting the vote
of the States above named. Speak
ing of New Hampshire, for instance.
There has been no election of gover
nor by the popular vote in that State
since 1SS1. In 1890 the Republican
candidate bod a plurality of only 90
votes. "With a full Democratic vote
and the votes of the large number of
independent Republicans who will
support Cleveland,' says Mr. 1'arrar,
