S. CLEMENTS, Editor DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET For Governor – Thomas Seay For Treasurer – John L. Cobb For Auditor – Cyrus D. Hogue For Secretary of State – Charles C. Langdon For Superintendent of Education – Solomon Palmer For Attorney General – T. N. McClelland For Congress, Sixth Congressional District – Hon. John H. Bankhead THE PLATFORM The Democratic Party of the State of Alabama in convention assembled declare: 1. That the firmness, ability and statesmanship displayed by President Cleveland in the administration of his high office entitle him to the confidence and support of his fellow citizens. That we endorse and approve his administration and especially his action and efforts to make a reform and reduction of the tariff, and we believe that the interests of the country demand his re-election, and to that end our delegates to the National Convention are herby instructed to vote for his nomination. 2. That we are unalterably opposed to the present war tariff. We demand a reform of the tariff and a reduction of the surplus in the treasury by a reduction of the tariff taxation. 3. That we endorse the administration of Governor Seay, which has been so eminently satisfactory to the whole people of Alabama 4. That we favor a liberal appropriation for public schools in order that the means of acquiring a knowledge of the rudiments of education may be afforded to every child in the state. 5. That we favor the encouragement of Immigration to this state and to that end we recommend such wise and judicious legislation by the General Assembly, as will best accomplish that result. Democracy expects every man to do his duty. The latest grand move made in Jasper is by the young men of the city. The have organized a young man’s prayer meeting. Party lines are being drawn closer, and we may yet have the pleasure of locating quite a number of so-called Democrats this year. Congressman Bankhead is pleased with the ticket and the platform – [Montgomery Advertiser] And the sixth district is well pleased with him. The quarter section of the Republican state ticket, being carried by certain Alabama newspapers, has a sad, melon-colic appearance. It will be fortunate if it lives through the summer. The cotton crop being a few weeks late our Alabama exchanges are having but little to say about it, but without expectation they report the corn and oat crop far above the average. If some of our farmers will figure out and explain to u s how any system can succeed that does not make more than it consumes, then they can tell how the cotton system may be made a success. We can tell our readers next week who the Republican residential candidates are, then they will know who Grover and the Old Roman will knock out in November. It still looks like it will be “Blaine or bust” and possibly it will be both. The Vernon Courier reminds the Birmingham Herald of the fact that Congressman Bankhead resides in Fayette and not in Lamar County. It says he once resided in Lamar but moved to Fayette prior to his first nomination. Probably if the Courier would raise the name of the Hon. John H. to its mast head no more such mistakes would occur. A CAPITAL IDEA The esteemed Montgomery Dispatch thinks it would be a capital idea to organize Cleveland and Thurman clubs for the campaign and that every town in Alabama should have one. Our metropolitan contemporary is usually clear headed, and we think it is a correct on this move. Clubs should be organized in Marion County, and let her give the largest democratic vote she has ever polled. No doubt the old enemy will make a last effort to win, but by being properly organized the democracy can sweep her out of existence. The people rare for Cleveland and tariff reform and let us get our forces in line and all pull together. Don’t’ wait for some other county to set you an example, but organize a club at once. Commissioner Kolb is said to be very hopeful and enthusiastic over his prospective Western trip. He will make all necessary preparations for bringing back the blizzard stricken brothers of the north and west by the ear load. There is no lack of room for al the good citizens he may capture. Marino County can furnish homes for hundreds of families who wish to engage in agriculture and other pursuits. She only needs to tell to the outside world what she has to offer in the form of inducements. Alabama is divided into three distinct interests – agriculture, lumber, and mineral – and of these three separate interests, Marion has her share of each, and we doubt that good farming lands can be had elsewhere in the state as low as here. Franklin County’s new Labor Party has “Passed over the river and rests under the shade.” Of the one hundred and eight country-serving patriots who assembled at Belgreen and pledged themselves to stand by the party, only about thirty of the members could be found when a meeting was recently held for the purpose of putting out a ticket. It would require a Donnelly cipher to tell from the Birmingham Age’s editorial columns who that paper wants for President. It has Grover at the head, and seems to be hurrahing for the other fellow. It thinks the country would be safe in the hands of Gresham, but there are few democrats going to think that way. A few white Republican leaders managed to get themselves elected as delegates to the Chicago convention, but with this exception the n---- element owns, manipulates and bosses the party in Alabama. They met in Bullock county recently and put out a full ticket, not a white man’s name on it Clark county has a partial ticket. How many favors the plan of consolidation of the Wheel and Alliance? – [Alabama State Wheel] Every office seeking Rad and disgruntled Democrat in both organizations. This being true if the Alliance could furnish an equal share of the required timber a consolidation might be made on first ballot. The man who thinks that he can be elected to represent this county in the next general assembly without having any politics reckons without his host. He might as well undertake the job of discovering the North Pole without a compass and a heavy linen duster. LIFE AND MANNERS Tact is a product of good feeling and quick observation. Essential to it is sympathy with others, and it is essential to true courtesy………………… Democrats should not be kicking and skulking around with their under jaw dropped almost to zero because their favorites got left in convention. At no time in the history of our country was a convention held that its nominees pleased everybody – it is impossible. Fall into line, and knowing, as you well do that you are within the sacred circle, roll up your sleeves and work for the nominees. Discard all factional prejudices and petty jealousies, and with a steady pull give your strength to the democratic ticket, which is bound to win it every democrat does his duty. J. H. McGee, one of the most popular officers on the Birmingham police force, was found dead on the top of Red Mountain recently. An inquest was held, and the coroner’s jury reported his death to have been caused from a pistol shot fired by himself. Subscribe for the Herald. PULBLIC LANDS OF ALABAMA WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET Hon. Frank Coleman, Register of the U. S. Land Office at Huntsville has received instructions from the U. S. Land Commissioner to withdraw all Government lands from off the market except such lands as may be entered for actual homestead settlement. When we come to understand that the government owns not less than 650,000 acres of land in Alabama, and that this large area will be held for homesteads only, the action of the part of the land commissioner is truly commendable. Land sharks and speculators can no longer gobble up these lands to which actual setters alone are entitled, and we are proud of it. A monster frog swallowed a chicken at Oconee, Ga…………………………… The weather prophets say that we are to have some real weather during the latter part of June. The paths of these storms as predicted will lie north of or along the fortieth parallel, the principal disturbances crossing the Mississippi valley from the 20th to the 22nd, and from the 26th to the 28th. It has been reported to the Sentinel that Winfield has dressed itself in a white coat and looks a little “stuck up” – [Fayette Sentinel] “Stuck up.” We hope the esteemed Sentinel is not envious toward Marion’s young city. Winfield is not “stuck up” but it is a real git-up-and- git little city with as much progressiveness to the square inch as any town of its size in the state. There is now to the credit of the state in cash, nearly $1,000,000 which after paying all appropriations and interests on bonds due on and before the first of July will leave a balance of nearly a quarter of a million. This healthy condition of the treasury is a sure indication of the prosperity of the state. Emperor Frederick dead The dread monster death again visits Germany’s capital and the nation is bowled in grief. Emperor Frederick passes quietly away without a struggle on 14th inst. The moonshiners in Franklin and Marion counties are getting on their mettle – [Hartselle Enquirer] Why did you not say that they were getting on the outside of a large quantity of illicit “bug juice” Bro. Enquirer? This would have been true, and your reader would not have been hourly expecting to hear that the ”moonshine’ element had possession of both counties. The State Democratic executive Committee met in Montgomery yesterday. General Sheridan’s condition remains about the same with perhaps a slight improvement. The Birmingham Chronicle proposes to eat a ton of pig iron with mint sauce when it comes to two dollars a ton.

Let’s organize a Cleveland and Thurman club. Our friend, BOB HUGHES, of Bexar called to see us on Saturday last. Recreation makes the busy man thoughtful and the thoughtful man busy. Quite a number of Bexar’s prominent citizens were in town on Saturday and Sunday last. None are so fond of secrets as those who have no idea of keeping them. Col. NESMITH of Vernon and JAS. PEARCE of Pearce’s Mills were in town on last week. What say you to a real old-fashioned picnic and celebration on the “Glorious Fourth?” No man is ever without dignity so long as he carefully avoids wounding the dignity of others. Good refreshing rains have visited almost every section f the county during th e past ten days and crops are looking promising indeed. Now that candidates are about through with their crops they have nothing to restrain them, and the dear people may prepare to “shake” or desert their homes. Messrs. HENSLER and MILLS, two of Franklin County’s citizens, were in town on last week. The former came for his little daughter and JOSIE and LULA ALLEN who have been attending school at this place. Miss LENA MATTHEWS, the charming daughter of our worthy Probate Jude, has been very unwell for several days. We are pleased to say that she is very much improved this week. Mrs. WILLET, wife of our friend, R. L. WILLET, of near town was so unfortunate as to fall from a barn loft on last week, and receive painful though not dangerous injuries. We hope she may be quite well again soon. Miss MAZIE BALDRIDGE, the charming and accomplished young lady who has been teaching a music class at this place, left on Saturday last for her home in Fulton, miss. much to the regret of her many friends and admirers. She will return in the fall and teach two months. Little BILLY KING the prompt carrier of the mails on the Aberdeen line, dropped into the Herald office on last week and presented us with the first cotton bloom of the season. We were about asking from what portion of the county the bloom came when he kindly told us that it was from his father’s farm near Splunge, Miss. We learn that the Herald is to be made an issue in the campaign. We know not how true such report may be, but this much we do know, that any man who will condescend so far as to hope to reach the legislative halls by trying to pull down his county paper, will step several rungs lower down on the ladder of decency and common sense than we would. Try it on, gentlemen, if you think it will work. AN EXCITING DRIVE “If there is such thing as an unenviable position on earth we think it must be a seat in a buggy attached to a runaway horse.” said one of our citizens just after the dangerous drive had ended on last Sunday morning, and no one was hurt. It happened this way: Just after a greater part of the town folks had left on their way to Hall’s Mill Church, Mr. ---- WHITENER, a young fruit agent, accompanied by one of our most charming and accomplished young ladies Miss ELLA HAMILTON, started for the church. They had proceeded about fifty yards when the young lady raised an umbrella to ward off the rays of the sun, frightening the horse, which after making a few leaps dashed off at a fearful rate of speed. The umbrella was instantly dropped, and both the young people mad a gallant effort to “pull him in” but to no effect. On past the post- office building, and down Military street, toward the river, he kept his made flight, apparently increasing his speed at every bound. The young man, with due presence of mind and a perfect coolness, seeing that he could not hold him, turned his attention mainly to keeping him well in the road, and avoid striking any obstacle. Capt. HAMILTON, the father of the young lady, and his little twelve-year old daughter were in a buggy some hundred years ahead of the flying animal, he barely had time to rein his horse out of the road when the flying wheels dashed by. Mr. W. R. WHITE, on horseback, managed to side track just in the nick of time. The main line was now perfectly clear, and the animal seemed to understand it, for he again increased in speed. A few yards further and a small bridge was to be crossed. Now came the most desperate moment, the least swerving either to the right nor the left and the wheels would miss the bridge, the gallant young driver, placing his feet against the dash boards and almost standing erect so hard was he exerting himself to pull him down, passed over the bridge in safely. They were then in a lane, and some parties on horseback a short distance in front of them, all of whom cleared the road instantly, but Mr. WM. SANISON, jumping off his horse sprang back in the road fronting the animal, and grasping the reins, checked him. He was then turned toward home and the young folks came back laughing and talking as though they had enjoyed the ride very much. Another and more docile animals was harnessed and the young people went on their way rejoicing, leaving the excited citizens to meditate among themselves and comment on the gallantry and skill of each in handling the ribbons, and to explain how fortunate it was that no one received any injury. OTHER LOCALS See new legals in this issue. Mr. TROY LANGSTON, of Lamar county, was in town the first of the week. He is a candidate for sheriff in his county. Do your part toward building that church, and if you can’t contribute a large amount, do what you can and the building will be secured. Mr. JOHN L. WHITE, late of Hamilton but now with the firm of CLARK, WHITE, and Co., at Guin, has been appointed postmaster at the latter place. He is a worthy business young man and his many friends in Hamilton will be pleased to learn of his appointment. We will not as we have heretofore state publish any communication either for or against any of the candidates now in the field. Please remember this, and you will be saved the trouble of compiling such articles, which when handed into this office will promptly meet their fate at the mouth of the waste basket. Sunday last was quite a dull day for Hamilton, it having the appearance of being deserted as nearly everybody attended church at Hall’s Mill, where the last tributes of respect were paid to the memory of the late lament D. C. MORROW by his brethren of the ancient and time honored order of Masons. People in great numbers were there from all over the county to witness the imposing ceremonies, and we learn also that they were treated to an excellent sermon by the Rev. A. MARKHAM. OVER THE STATE – Gathered from the State Press Capitalists continue to pour into Anniston. Sheffield will have a grand celebration on the 4th of July. Montgomery has a Red Bandana Club with a member ship of 141. Decatur is trying to organize a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Judge Thomas M. Peters of Moulton, died on the 14th inst. aged about 77 years. A German named King was thrown from his wagon near Cullman on last week and killed. The Tennessee coal, Iron, and Railroad Company has leased all its Alabama mines to a Tennessee corporation. John White, the negro who shot office Morrow at Birmingham recently was captured in Atlanta on last week. Col. A. C. Hargove, of Tuskaloosa, has been nominated from the senatorial district composed of Bibb and Tuskaloosa. Oscar Scarey was accidentally killed by this friend Webb Perder, in a friendly tussle over a pistol at Greenville recently. O. H. Nelson, a real estate agent at Tuskaloosa, was shot and probably fatally wounded in that city on the 13th inst. Louis Taylor, the fireman who w s injured in the late wreck on the A. O. S. road near Tuscaloosa, died on the 12th inst. Talledgea is greatly excited over her gold fiends, and thinks that California of 1849 will fade into insignificance in the near future. Lois Hast, of Gadsden, rode from that city to Rome, Ga. on his bicycle, by the dirt road in eight hours, the distance being sixty-three miles. It is announced that the Messrs. Nunnelee of Tuskaloosa have purchased the Evening Watchman of Anniston and will assume control at once. The crop reports throughout the State continue flattering. Splendid stands of corn and cotton with but little grass, which is an excellent showing in June. Books of subscription to the Memphis, Columbus and Tuskaloosa Railroad have been opened at Tuskaloosa and it is thought that the road will be built at an early day. Col. John t. Milner of Jefferson is the Democratic nominee for State Senator from the tenth senatorial district composed of the counties of Jefferson, Walker and Shelby. J. W. Hopper, a section foreman on the L. and N. railroad, was run over by a construction train about thirty miles north of Montgomery on the 16th inst, and instantly killed. Jefferson County Democrats are not going to have a walk over, but will be required to make a stubborn fight for her mastery. However, the Herald thinks that “a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether is all that is needed.’ Dr. B. P. IVEY, of Winfield was in town the first of the week. Rev. JOHN HOLLIDAY, of near Barnesville was in to see us on Tuesday last. Sheriff LODEN has been confined to his room for the past several days with mumps. We are glad to learn that he is improving. The committee appointed some time back to look after the church and Masonic hall have at last decided that the building can be erected, and a united effort will be made to do so. Over four hundred dollars of the required amount has already been subscribed, and it is quite safe to say that if all will now go to work and do their duty Hamilton will soon have a neat, respectable church house and Masonic hall.

MORROW at Hall’s Mill church on next Sunday. Drs. SARGENT, of Isbell, and JONES of Russellville were in town this week. Mr. S. A. G. WALKER and lady have been visiting relatives near Belmont this week. We learn that sixty bee trees have been captured in the MAYS neighborhood on little Bear Creek during the past few weeks, and Mr. THOMAS LAWLER states that fifty of them were found within a radius of two miles square. Franklin ought to sweeten her candidates, but we suppose they will keep until August. There will be a Masonic celebration held at Allen’s Factory, June 30th. Come out, candidates, and let us take a good look at you. Mr. D. F. CLAY is done laying by his corn crop and don’t you forget it. GLEANER BEXAR, ALA., June 15, 1888 Editor Herald: AS I have not seen anything in the Herald from this section except Wheeler letters I will try to give you a few local items. We have had a good rain which was very much needed. The farmers of this section are well nigh up with their work owing to the fineness of the weather. The health of this section is very good. Rev. J. R. HOLLIDAY, of Barnesville, preached an interesting sermon at Cochrell’s school house on the second Sunday in June to a large and attentive audience.

The esteemed Vernon Courier of last week looked unusually bright and newsy. We congratulate it up on its improved appearance.
