S. CLEMENTS, Editor NATIONAL TICKET For President, Grover Cleveland of New York For Vice-President Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio 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. Commissioner Kolb’s proposed second trip to the North in the interest of Alabama is spoken of as “A Traveling Exposition” Germany’s new Emperor issued his first address to the army, and it seems to have caused much unfavorable comment. The chief compliant against Thurman by the Republicans is that he is an uncompromising Democrat and has always been one. So much the better. Hurrah for the noble Old Roman and the red bandana! The statement of the condition of the New York banks is something remarkable. The surplus at the close of business last week was larger than at any time since the spring of 1886. The deposits amounted to $494,642,800 the largest amount ever held by the banks at any one time. A Texas farmer while driving along a country road not long since discovered an old pot which had been unearthed by the hard rain of a few days before. He was astonished after picking it up to find that it contained $18,000 in gold. It is supposed that the money was hidden by guerrillas during the late war. The loyal conduct of Gov. Gray is giving his earnest support to Cleveland and Thurman since his defeat at St. Louis……………… A NEEDED REFORMATION Our correspondent “O” gives in another column some startling figures showing the heavy drain that the Louisiana State Lottery makes continually on the pockets of Birmingham’s citizens. The amount that this rapacious cormorant draws annually from this source would endow a college, build and support a hospital, pave every street in the city or spent in pure charity, would relive a large amount of want and suffering. The ambling spirit has always been a great evil, and it seems to have seized on the American people of late years with fiendish vigor. The trading in futures and speculating in stocks and bonds is all to a great extent an outgrowth of this spirit and undermining the moral stamina, sapping the business integrity of the country. Our correspondet aptly suggests that this is a practical subject for the clergy to tackle, and we agree with him in the idea that some of the energy wasted in endeavoring to dissuade the boys and girls from dancing, and the tirades intended to break up the theatre as a place of amusement, might be more properly and profitably directed against the lottery and future curse. The practice calls very loudly for reform, and out to be vigorously assailed by all who have the practical as well as the moral welfare of the community at heart. – [Herald] The Supreme Court of Missouri, in a recent case of murder, carried before the tribunal, on appeal on the ground that the convicted man was drunk at the time that he committed the crime, decided that as the plaintiff was thoroughly acquainted with the effects of liquor upon his system he had by drinking to excess “voluntary striped himself of all those balancing instincts by which the worst of us continue to walk with some degree of steadiness among temptations, and, in his case to be tempted, however slightly was to fall.” The Labor Party has put out a half ticket in Morgan County and judging from the material used in its makeup we consider it the rottenest concern this side of the Chicago convention. Old man Jonce J. Woodall is vamping around the new blaze with as much vigor as he did in 1874 when he bolted the Democratic Party and stepped over to the Rads in the race for Probate Judge. For this little move he was gloriously snowed under, and has been well under ever since. Esau was undoubtedly very foolish to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage, but he was a paragon of shrewdness besides those Southerners who are selling their timber lands in this section to Northern syndicates for the paltry sum of two or three dollars an acre. The very lands thus sold are worth $10 an acre and the Yankee speculators hold them at even higher figures. And let me add a little more for the benefit of those who need it. It is this: Do not wait for others to help you – help yourself. Do not stop to wait for applause or an encore, but struggle on for that which cannot fail to bring it. Do not wait for the world to pat you on the back or sympathize with your misfortunes, but hammer your way through life, kicking out of your path all obstructions. No tidings from Henry M. Stanley, the noted African explorer for a long time. It is feared that he entered the great jungle once too often. The fleas are about to take Moulton and everybody in it. – [Moulton Advertiser] You don’t mean to say that they have actually tackled that Wheel ticket do you Bro. WHITE? WILL SUPPORT IT Congressman John H. Bankhead arrived in the city last night on his way home from Washington for a few day’s visit……………………[Birmingham Age]- A bushel of corn cosign forty cents, makes four gallons of whiskey worth $16. That isn’t enough profit, however, and so they make four gallons of whiskey out of acid and drugs which cost only twenty-eight cents – [Detroit Free Press] Alert Miller, a young man of Harrisburg, Pa. was recently sentenced to two months in prison for kissing his sweetheart on the street. Bob Ingersoll says that Jay Gould could no more go to Heaven, if the Bible were ture than cold the devil himself. OUR SHEFFIELD LETTER Sheffield, June 19th, 1888 Editor Herald: I called on Capt. ALFRED H. MOSES the other day and had a conversation with him in regard to the Sheffield and Seaboard Railroad. He assured me that he had not given up this project, by any means, but that it would necessarily be some time before anything further is done with it. The reason for this he said is the unsettled condition of the bond market which is always flurried and unsettled during a presidential contest. This unsettled condition is not due altogether to the agitation of the tariff, but it is a peculiarity that always attend the election of the country’s chief executive The tariff, however, has something to do with it, as the railroads an manufacturing industries are so closely allied, and the success of one is so greatly dependent on the other than anything that will result in disturbing one, will also materially affect the other and therefore men who have money do not care to advance it on any kind of securities, the value of which is dependent on any industry that nay be affected by the tariff agitation. Whatever the merits or demerits of the question may be; it is undeniable that in the unsteadying of the bond market and thereby retarding railroad building it is working very materially against the interest of Alabama and for that reason it would be rejoiced to see it settled in some way. The summer weather is now fairly on, and with it comes the flies, one of the great plagues of city life. The people of Hamilton may think flies are troublesome to them, but if they could step into some confectionary or grocery store in Sheffield and see the myriads that swarm everywhere, they would be astonished. I verily believe that Egypt never had more flies than Sheffield The Sheffield stove works are now in operation and turning out stoves of superior excellence the first stove made was donated to the several churches of the city, and its sale brought them in near one hundred dollars. G. Hon. W. E. Skeggs, of Morgan County, is the nominee for State Senator from the district composed of Morgan, Blount, Cullman, and Winston counties. Mr. Skeggs is not only a gentleman to the manor born, but his fine judgment and excellent common sense, together wit past legislative experience will make him a legislator of which any state might feel proud. The convention acts wisely in nominating Mr. Skeggs, and a united democracy will bear us out in the assertion by giving him a grand victory, and to the state a wise and just legislator. A tobacco drummer came through Union Springs a few years ago, who approached one of the merchants and laid before him a scheme which he had inaugurated for making money and swindling the government. His plan was to sell to one merchant in each town who would pledge himself to remove the government stamps from the boxes and return them to the factory. One half of the value of the stamps was to be paid to the merchant, and the other half retained by the factory. He could thus afford to sell the tobacco at actual cost, and monopolize the trade of the town. The merchant is an honest man, the noblest work of God – and he gave the drummer to understand in very plain English that his scheme could not be entertained for a moment The drummer said that the government had thus been ‘beat’ by merchants at other places and no doubt the swindling is still going on; but ill gotten gains will do no man any good. He has been here several times since, but he always passes that merchant as if he were a total stranger – [Union Springs Herald] Subscribe for the Herald.

It provides for the establishment of an industrial boarding school on every reservation containing not less than five hundred Indians. This is the continuation and development of much that has already been accomplished. There is also a bill for the appointment of a superintendent of Indian Schools. ------------ Nevada horse raisers and ranchmen on the Pioche and White Pine ranges are complaining of the wild horses of that region. In the Shellback Mountains are bands of from 150 to 200 of these horses, each under the leadership of powerful stallions, and they make regular raids on the ranches and run of the horses of the ranchmen. A horse once gone is gone forever, the Nevada men says, of the wild horses are cunning and wary, and will ton let a man get within rifle shot of them. Last spring fifteen experienced horsemen and hunters started out with the object of killing as many of the “boss stallions” as possible. In a ten days hunt they managed to kill just one horse. The wild horse of Nevada is said to be about the most ugly beast alive.

Is there any consolation in blaming luck for our own misfortunes? Hamilton promises to be well represented at Allen’s factory on the 30th inst. Mr. H.

He returned home on Monday. When you come to town, call on CLARK, WHITE, & Co., for lowest prices in all classes of goods. Guin, Ala. If dog fennel promotes the health fullness of a community there will be little sickness in Hamilton this summer. Good refreshing rains have fallen throughout the county during the past few days and crops are looking remarkably well. Our friend WESLEY J. CLARK has been absent attending the bedside of his mother in the country this week, who we regret to say, is dangerously ill. W. H. KEY, Esq. returned from Bexar on Monday last. He reports fine crops, and politics firm with an upward tendency as the weather grow warmer. Rev. C. M. RICE, promptly met his appointment at this place on Sunday last at 4 p.m. and preached an excellent sermon to a small but appreciative audience Our friend J. L. WHITE, after spending a couple of days with friends in Hamilton, left for his place of business in the flourishing young town of Guin on Tuesday last. Six hundred instead of four hundred dollars, as stated in last week’s Herald, is the amount subscribed for the erection of a church and Masonic Hall. We are pleased to make the correction as it only confirms us the more in our convictions that if the committee will get strictly down to business the building will be secured at an early date. Elsewhere in today’s Herald may be found the announcement of Mr. M. M. FRAZIER for the office of Sheriff Tax-Collector. Mr. FRAZIER is too well known to the people of Marion to need any comment from us. His reputation for honesty, integrity and industry cannot be surpassed by that of any other man in the county, and that he is in every sense wholly competent to discharge the duties of the office all well know. As county treasurer, which office he now holds, he has given entire satisfaction and we feel quite safe in saying that if elected he will make an able, just and efficient officer. We are forced to go to press again without informing our readers who the Chicago Convention has nominated. Three ballots were taken on 22nd inst, with Sherman in the lead, Gresban being second and Alger third. On third ballot Sherman stood 244, Gresham 123, Alger 122, Depew then dropped out, and as it was understood that the New York delegation would then go to Harrison, Sherman friends became alarmed and managed to adjourn the convention. SELF DENIAL AND PRAYER – [Communicated] The first week in April was appointed by our missionary board as a week of prayer and self denial, and earnestly insisted that the church observe the call by praying for the success of the great and grand Missionary work; and also, that our prayers should be accompanied by our self-denial offering. That which we deny ourselves of and give to the Lord, let it be much or little. Now, dear brethren, I shall place this great means of grace before you again by appointing the 2nd week of July next, beginning the second Sunday and closing the 3rd Sunday. I do this because it was a failure before. Let us look well to this obligation, and endeavor by the grace of God to meet this responsibility. SOME REASONS WHY WE SHOULD Self denial is a universal duty, and of the very essence of religion. THE NATURE OF SELF-DENIAL It is founded on the supremacy of the will of God. Our will by nature is averse from God. Self-denial is the subordination of our will to that of God; and in addition to this we must take up our cross, and not only deny ourselves, or our will, but endure cheerfully whatever may be imposed upon us as Christians. What is it for a man to deny himself, and take up his cross daily? This is a point which is, of all others, most necessary to be considered and thoroughly understood, even on this account, that it is, of all others, most oppose by numerous and powerful enemies. All our nature must certainly rise up against this, even in its own defense; the world, consequently the men who take nature, not grace, for their guide, abhor the very sound of it. And the great enemy of our souls, well knowing its importance, cannot but move every stone against it. But this is not all; even those who have in some measure shaken off the yoke of the devil, who have experienced a real work of grace in their hearts, yet are not friends to this grand doctrine of Christianity, though it is so peculiarly insisted on by their Master. Some of them are as deeply and totally ignorant concerning it, as if there was not one word about it in the Bible. Others are farther off still, having imbibed strong prejudices against it. Oh, I would to God, that we as a church, would decide this question upon our knees, and then there would be more vitality in the church –t here would b a line of distinction between the world and the Church. But to the point. Wherein are we to deny ourselves? And whence does the necessity of this arise? We anwer, the will of God is the supreme, unalterable rule for every intelligent creature. Nor can it be otherwise. This is the natural, necessary result of the relation between creatures and their Creator. Here, tehn, we see the nature and ground of self-denial; it is the denying or refusing to follow our own will, from the conviction that the will of God is the only rule of action to us. But a further reason for it arise from the condition wherein all men are since the fall. Our nature is altogether corrupt, and our will is depraved; it is wholly bent to indulge our natural corruption. On the other hand, it is the will of God that we resist and counteract that corruption, not at some times or in some things only, but at all times, and in all things. Here, therefore, is a further ground for constant and universal self denial. The will of God is a path leading straight to God. The will of man, which once ran parallel with it, is now another path, not only different from it, but, in our present state, directly contrary to it – it leads from God. If, therefore, we walk in the one, we must necessarily quit the other. We cannot walk in both. Indeed, a man of faint heart and feeble hand may go in two ways one after the other, but he cannot walk in two ways at the same time; he cannot, at one and the same time, follow his own will, and follow the will of God; he must choose the one or the other, denying God’s will, to follow his own; or denying himself, to follow the will of God. On the whole, then, to deny ourselves, is to deny our own will, where it does not fall in with the will of God, and that however pleasing it may be. It is to deny ourselves any pleasure which does not spring from and lead to God. That is, in effect, to refuse going out of our way, though into a pleasant, flowery path. And everyone that would follow Christ, that would be his real disciple, must not only deny himself but “take up his cross’ also. A cross is anything contrary to our will, anything displeasing to our nature. So that taking up our cross goes a little further than denying ourselves; it rises a little higher, and is a more difficult task to flesh and blood – it being more easy to forego pleasure than to endure pain. We are then properly said to “bear our cross when we endure what is laid upon us without our choice, with meekness and resignation. “And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him take up his cross daily and follow me.” Let us obey the commands of the master. Let us put on the whole armor of God if we desire to be successful against the enemy of darkness. Let us pray God to help and bless us in our offerings to him. If all will take part in this we will meet all the claims so easy. Our next quarterly meeting will be at Bethlehem, August 4th and 6th. The District Conference will be held at Fayette’s Court House, embracing the 5th Sunday in July. I hope every steward on the work will press their assessment to the greatest extent, for if we do not move forward our financial report will fall far below what it ought to be. I want every steward to report the amount collected this quarter to them by the 4th Sunday in July, so it can go into the report I shall make to the District conference. Our protracted meetings will soon commence. Let the week of prayer and self-denial, be spent as becometh true Christians, and God will bless us and save many souls. There are many sheaves ready for harvest. Let us go into our Master’s vineyard and endeavor to gather them in. Pray for your pastor. Millville, June 22, 1888 C. M. RICE, P. C. A CARD – TO THE PEOPLE This is to notify my friends that according to a decision made by the Attorney- General I am compelled to withdraw myself from the race for the office of Sheriff. Now that I am no longer a candidate, I will say to all my friends that I am under many and lasting obligations to them for their kindness to them at present. If eel as thankful for their many favors as if I had been elected and hoping they may be able to procure a thoroughly competent man in my place, I remain ever mindful of you and your interests.

The fruit crop is excellent. The crop prospect here is very good, just in receipt of fine rains. Townley will soon have a coal mine. We have five dry goods stores, one drug store, and two saloons, notwithstanding business is very dull. D. J.
