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. But didn’t the convention break “Honest John Sherman” all u when it sat down upon him so heavily? Sad! Democrats have the brains and patriotism in this campaign, while Republicans have bunco and boodle. There is now little doubt that the Senate will confirm the nomination of Melville W Fuller to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Strayed or Stolen – One small Union Labor Party, about six week old. It was born in Belgreen, rocked in a Republican cradle and nursed by Anarchy – [Russellville Southern Idea] Destructive floods of rain have swept away many thousand dollars worth of property and destroyed perhaps fifteen hundred lives in Mexico during the past ten days. Leon, a city of some 100,000 inhabitants, is almost totally in ruins. Who will the workingmen support for president? Will it be Cleveland the great foe to monopolies, trusts and all other rings for the purpose of robbing the people for the benefit of the few? Or will it be Harrison, the nominee of corporations, and of that huge swindle the Republican Party? We only have to wait a short while for the answer, and none need have any fear as to what the answer will be. Yes, the banner of victory will again float proudly over the Democratic hosts led by Cleveland and Thurman, and many thousand voices that were stilled by the “bar” misguidance in ’84 will join in the chorus. HARRISON Two reasons have led to the selection of Benjamin Harrison as the Republican nominee for the Presidency…………………. LEVI P. MORTON The Republican nominee for Vice President has nothing to recommend him except the possession of vast fortune……………………. Hon. John M. Glover, member of Congress for the eighth Missouri District has filed suit for $50,000 against the St. Louis Globe Democrat for libel. A SNEAKING DODGE The Union Labor Party of Franklin County has struck the key-note this time. After selecting the candidates for the different county offices it will turn the ticket over to the non-political Wheel to be voted on, and to have that organization say who are the strongest candidates. After this the ticket will again appear before the Labor Party and be re-nominated as the ticket of that party. Don’t you se that the Wheel does not want any politics? It only wants the offices and has no higher aspirations than to secure the defeat of the democratic ticket agriculturally accomplished. This sneaking dodge on the part of the Wheel recalls to mind the pathetic language used by a negro delegate during the Republican convention held in Birmingham. He said: “We will unite with anything but the devil and democracy.” Evidently the Wheelers of Franklin prefer the society of a united political scum and refuse of both parties to that of decent democracy. Sad, indeed! ---------------------(more national political comments)----------------- Talladega, Ala. June 28 – The recent rains in this section have done untold damage to growing crops. Reports from the lower end of this county say that the corn crops will be damaged fully 75 per cent. The low lands are badly washed, and in many places a stand of cotton cannot be seen. Creeks and branches are full to their banks, but no damage has been reported from high water.

Fifteen years ago BIGLEY SMITH, who ah been for several years in Chihuahua, Mex., returned to his home in Alabama, bringing with him a twelve-months old girl baby which was named DOLORS ORTAGAS. He asked his mother to raise and educate the little one, as he intended making her his wife when she grew up to womanhood. He then returned to Chihuahua, where he has lived ever since. A few weeks ago he returned home to Alabama and was pleased to find his charge grown up to be a beautiful young women. She had been kept in ignorance of his relations toward her, so that when he broached the subject of marriage it had all the usual suddenness so much prized by her sex. She was willing, and they were married. ---------------------- PAGE 3 LOVE IN CHICAGO – Weird Romance of the Windy City A PLAN THAT WORKS RIASE YOUR OWN FROGS HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS THE EVEING LAMP HOME MADE CHAIR BOTTOMS STALE BREAD With a little care on the part of the housekeeper every scrap of stale bread can be made available. All the crusts and small pieces should be spread in a pan and dried slowly in a warm oven. When they are perfectly dry put them into a small bag made of ticking or canvas and pound them fine with a wooden mallet. Sift them and put them in glass jars. They will keep for months and can be used for breading meat, fish, croquettes etc. Another way of using these dried scraps is to roll them until they break in rather coarse crumbs. They are then nice to eat with a bowl of milk, for instance or tea. Cut all the crust from a loaf of stale bread, and then tear the loaf in long, thin pieces. Spread these in a large pan, only one layer deep, and place in a hot oven. When they are crisp and brown, which will be in six or seven minutes if the oven be very hot, send then to the table with thin slices of cheese. This dish is nice just before dessert. Frequently it is served with the coffee. Take a quantity of slices of dry bread. Dip them quickly one by one in a bowl of cold water. Place them in a large dripping pan, having only one layer at a time. Then set the pan in a hot oven. In ten minutes the bread will be brown and crisp. Place on a warm plate and cover with a warm napkin. Serve at once with a little broiled smoked salmon or salt cod. This dish is a good one for luncheon or tea. After sprinkling stale rolls or biscuits with cold water place them in a pan and cover them with a second pan. Set in a moderately warm over for twelve minutes, and they will seem almost as good as if freshly baked. Put a loaf of stale bread in a deep pan and, after covering it with another pan, set it in a moderately hot over for twenty minutes. At the end of that time take it from the pan and set it on an end to cool. This bread will cut like a fresh load. Cut all the crusts from a loaf of stale bread and put the loaf in a steamer. Set it over a kettle of boiling water for twenty minutes, and serve at once with a sauce which has been made in the meantime by the following recipe; put three cupfuls of boiling water in a stew-pan, and place the pan on the stove. Mix three tablespoonfuls of flour with half a cupful of cold water and stir the mixture into the boiling water. Continue stirring for two minutes. Now add half a nutmeg, grated; the yellow rind of a lemon, grated; and also two cupfuls of sugar. Boil for twelve minutes, then add two tablespoonfuls of butter and the juice of the lemon. Cut the steamed bread in slices with a sharp knife and pour a generous supply of sauce on each side as it is served. This is a nice dessert when there are children in the family. Delicious griddle cakes re made with stale bread. Soak a pint and a half of stale bread in a pint of milk for ten or twelve hours. Keep the mixture in a warm place, where it will sour slightly. At the end of ten or twelve hours rub it through a sieve. Beat into the sifted mixture one teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, half a pint of sifted flour and a slight grating of nutmeg. Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in half a gill of milk. Add this liquid and two well beaten eggs to the mixture. These griddle cakes require a little longer time to cook than the common batter cakes. – [New York Herald] RECIPES STRAWBERRY PUDDING SAUCE – Cream together one-half teacupful of fresh butter, and one teacupful of sugar, the beaten white of one egg and one large teacupful of thoroughly crushed strawberries. Nice to serve with brad pudding. POTATO CHOWDER – Take six large potatoes, one onion, one quart of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, two ounces of salt pork and one egg. Cut the pork in small pieces and fry; add the potatoes and onions sliced, cover with boiling water and cook until potatoes are tender; add the milk scalded and the seasoning and lastly the egg beaten light. LAMB AND PEA SEW – Cut the breast of lamb in pieces and place in a stew pan, with water enough to cover it. Stew for twenty minutes and take off the scum, add a quart of shelled or canned peas with a tablespoonful of salt and let stew for half an hour. Mix a quarter of a pound of butter and a tablespoonful of flour and stir into the stew; let simmer five minutes, season and serve with dumplings HOW TO FIND A JOB WATCHING THE SAFE Ad for Warner’s Safe Cure Ad for Weber Piano-Fortes – best pianos made WORTH KNOWING Ad for Hood’s Sarsaparilla Ad for Paine’s Celery Compound Ad for Ginseng and Raw Skins Ad for St. Jacob’s Oil Ad for John L.

Come out to prayer meeting tonight. Hearts, be they ever so honest are always on the beat. Gradually getting higher – thermometers. Capt. D N. COOPER returned from Chicago on Monday last. You are only trusting to chants when you expect to get to heaven by singing. Tomatoes, beans, apples, and peaches should be canned as they ripen. Whey is it that the political sin of independence in thought can be easily forgiven in some men, while in others it is an unpardonable and mortal sin? Mr. J. W. HOLLIWAY, late of Georgia, but now residing near Barnesville, this county, called to see us on Saturday last and before leaving subscribed for the Herald. The contract for building a church and Masonic Hall at this place will be let on Monday July 16th. Parties wishing to see the specifications and plans for this building can do so by calling at the post office. Mr. W. E. WHITENER, the clever young fruit agent, who has been making his headquarters at this place for the past few weeks, left for his home near Middleton, Tenn. on Sunday last. The best wishes of the Herald accompany him. Through mistake we overlooked “Clips” communication from Detroit on last week and regret very much that we did so. Write again, old boy, your articles always are welcome to a place in the columns of the Herald. Misses ELLA HAMILTON and LENA MATTHEWS, two of Hamilton’s most charming and intelligent young ladies, left for the country on last week. They go to teach, the farmer at Hackelburg, the latter at Bull Mountain. The Herald wishes the young ladies a pleasant and profitable sojourn with an early return in the fall. The writer in company with Mr. W. E. WHITENER made a flying trip across the country a few miles southeast of town on Saturday last, partly for the exercise afforded by a buggy ride over rough road, but more to look upon the beautiful and growing crops of corn and cotton of which so much is now being talked and hoped. It is needless to say that we get all the “exercise” needed – as any one will certify after having made the trip by way of Hall’s Mill, with all due respect for the mill and the clever old gentleman who owns and controls it – while on every hand crops presented a far brighter appearance than we anticipated – especially the corn crop. Cotton in most places looks rather small for July, but this, we suppose to have been caused more by the continued cold nights during last month, than from any lack of proper cultivation. All in all the outlook is very bright and promising, and with a few more good rains at the proper time the farmer in that vicinity and we might say throughout the county, will reap an abundant harvest. We returned just as the cool shades of evening were hovering over and around the town, feeling all the better for the trip, and more than ever thoroughly impressed with the idea that there any many and more various reasons than an editor ever dreamed of why the life of a farmer – especially an Alabama Farmer – should be one of joy, contentment and peace. Be consistent. Crops are booming. Save all the hay you can. Subscribe for the Herald. The health of Hamilton is excellent. Did Hamilton celebrate the Glorious Fourth? Do you part toward building that church. Send in the local news from your section. There will be public speaking at this place on 16th inst. Politics will be the general theme from now until after the election.. The 14th promises to be a great day for Barnesville. Nous verrans. Wouldn’t a soda fount do a land office business in Hamilton just now? Show a copy of the Herald to your neighbor and ask him to subscribe. Keep cool if such a thing is possible with mercury standing at 94º in the shade. If times are hard it will make them no easier to be constantly growing about it. Hamilton school opened on Monday last after a month’s vacation with an average attendance. Read our Texas letter in another column, especially those who are thinking of leaving Alabama for the Lone Star state. Mr. JOHN GOGGINS, of near Barnesville, was in town on yesterday and gave the Herald a pleasant call. Turnip planting will soon be in order. The early planter secures the turnips or makes a failure in time to replant and secure a crop. Now that we have a daily mail from Hamilton to Guin we can give our readers much fresher news than we have been able to do theretofore. Mr. JOHN WINSTEAD, of Bull Mountain was in town on Tuesday last. He reports crops suffering for want of rain in his immediate neighborhood. New carriers are on all of the mail lines coming to Hamilton. We hope they may all be as prompt as little BILL KING, of the Aberdeen line. The Birmingham Age now reaches this office the same day on which it is printed. So much for the improvement in our mail facilities, and then, the Age is an enterprising get here sort of a paper anyhow. Will some people ever learn that the house of prayer is not a house for rioting, boisterous and indecent behavior during services? Indeed, it appears that a many are as yet ignorant of this great truth. They may understand after a quiet little stay at Coalburg. Mr. A. H. RYE informs us that he had a fine mess of sweet potatoes on last week. He has two and one half acres planted and says the potatoes are ahead of anything of the kind he has seen this year. We could tell more about the quality after having tested them ourselves. Set no “deadfall” outside the town limits during this month. It’s dangerous. Candidates are so numerous, varying in size from a postage stamp to a quarter, that you would certainly catch one of them. Just “Let ‘em’ go Gahallager” a few weeks longer, they seem to enjoy the fun, and then, what a crash. After this so far as local affairs are concerned the people may enjoy a quiet rest. GEORGE COLE, a young man charge d with having disturbed religious worship at New Hope church on Sunday last, while being guarded on last Monday decided to ”skip” and so he did, just at the moment the guard’s back was turned. But let it be said that he did not do all the running alone. Deputy Sheriff WEATHERLY at once gave chase and after being pursued a distance of about two hundred yards, the prisoner tripped his feet and fell. He arose just in time to discover that the active deputy was close at hand and that further flight would be useless. He gave up “like a little man’ and accompanied the officer back to jail. All costs being secured, he was released the following morning. FROM TEXAS Alvarado, Texas, June 25th, 1888 Editor Herald: If you will allow me space in your columns I will give you a few dots in regards to our state, so-called Texas. I moved from Marion County seven years ago, and have since been living here in Texas, but I cannot say that I am satisfied. We have no good water like there is in dear old Alabama, and we have to haul all our wood from a distance of seven or eight miles. For the past three years I have been force d to haul nearly all of my drinking water, which, when I get it, is hardly suitable for cattle to use. But Texans think they are flying when they are drinking such stuff. We are having entirely too much rain this year. The corn crop is good, but the cotton is late in this section. Grass is as fine as could be wished for. The wheat and oat harvest in western Texas is progressing very satisfactorily and some of the farmers are inclined to be facetious, saying that they will have to go outside of their fields to have shocks room for their grain. But seriously the shocks are large and close together, and it is thought that some oat fields will thresh 100 bushels to the acre; and wheat about 40 bushels to the acre, but we think 70 bushels for oats and 22 for whet will prove an average yield for the country. District court has adjourned, and the judge and bar will have a rest of two months. “No Labor Union Candidate will ever occupy a seat in Congress” says the Alvarado Bulletin. I received a letter from Dallas County recently, stating that the cotton crop is almost entirely ruined by the worms. Every farmer will have to replant or make no cotton and the great difficulty is there is no see dint eh country. Those who have got seed so far have had to send to Louisiana and Mississippi for them. I also had a letter from Burton, Texas, that the heaviest rain and storm that has visited that section since 1866, flooding everything in the vicinity, and washing away several houses, and beating down the corn crops so badly that it is nearly all ruined. One thousand dollars has been raised at Dennison, Texas, for the purpose of celebrating the coming fourth of July. W. E. PENN will be having a camp meeting at this city on July 14th, on College Hill. As I haven’t made your acquaintance I guess I had better desist from writing any more at present, but if this escapes the wastebasket I will probably write again. Wishing you all desired health and success, and abundant prosperity to Alabama and her people, I remain, Yours faithfully B. M. Bexar, Ala., June 30, 1888 Editor Herald: The farmers are very nearly done work. Messrs. J. F. WHITE and J. R. PEARCE are off to Birmingham this week. Mr. J. D. MCRHEA is clerking for J. R. PEARCE. WALKER HALL, of Hall’s Mill was in Bexar this week. He is a candidate for the office of sheriff and no doubt if elected would make a good officer. Preaching on the first Sunday in July at GANN’S Saw Mill. We notice the Herald says that there ought to be a Cleveland and Thurman Club organized in each beat. We don’t need it. We are already solid for the ticket and think it absolutely unnecessary. Our old friend K. T. BROWN was in to see us this week. He has represented Marion County in the State Legislature more times than any other man in the county, and no doubt if elected this year would make a faithful representative. Adieu for this time. J. B. We received a communication from Darlington this week signed “Patsy Kilgore” but too late for publication this week, even had the writer signed his real name. We have frequently stated heretofore that we would publish no article unless accompanied by the writer’s real name. Please remember this. We do not want your name for publication, but as an act of good faith on your part. Write again “Patsy” and be sure to give your true name.
