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. The Mills bill will probably go through the House, but the Republicans will fight it in the Senate. What need have we for stronger argument in behalf of a reduction of the present rate of taxation than the $1,000,000 now in the State Treasury? John Sherman aside from being the madest man on the continent pauses long enough in his fury to intimate that he might have been nominated on “a free ballot and a fair count.’ With Blaine stumping the Pacific slope, John L. Sullivan traveling with a circus, Harrison trying to explain his Chinese record and ---ker at large in Ohio, the summer season will not be devoid of first-class attractions – [Birmingham Age] The Glorious Fourth was celebrated in the grand typical border style in some of the back counties of Missouri. At Marsfield a party of drunken farmers engaged in a free-for-all fight. There were six of them when the fun began, but at the closing scene only one was left to tell the tale of the performance, the others being dead or badly hurt. The platform of the Democratic Party does not advocate “free trade,” and no same laboring man need listen to the siren song of the Republican who claims that it does. He, the workingman, neither wants free trade nor higher protection. He can see with half an eye that the higher he is protected the poorer he gets, while his ‘Protectors’ are daily growing richer, more fat and sleek upon the fruits of his honest toil. UNPOPULAR AT HOME The following editorial estimate of Harrison is from the Chicago Tribune, a leading Republican paper of the country and was written three days before Harrison’s nomination. It will give some idea of how he stands with a certain element of the G. O. P……………. Mr. George E. McNeil, one of the most prominent labor leaders in Massachusetts and a man who has always opposed the Democracy and never voted other than a Republican ticket, will this year act with the Democrats………………… The iron and coal industries in this country are more highly protected than any other, yet they are the very ones in which the laboring class encounters the most trouble and hardships ……………… The Fourth was very enthusiastically observed in Selma, Birmingham, Sheffield, and numerous other Alabama towns. OUR TRIP TO SHEFFIELD Allen’s Factory, Ala., July 5th, 1888 Editor of the Herald: Your correspondent, in company with a number of young ladies and gentlemen, boarded the train at Bear Creek Station, at 9:30 a.m. and joyfully sped along the line for Sheffield where we were going to celebrate the glorious Fourth. A great many passengers on board but nothing of importance occurred on the way, and after a pleasant ride, at the hour 1 p.m. we reached our destination. The situation of the picnic grounds was a very pleasant one, being on the river at the head of Montgomery Avenue. Learning that no kind of conveyance could be procured as all had been previously engaged, we took “Walker’s Express” for the charming place. Our train being behind time we missed the speaking and parade, that was a little disappointing, but not enough to mar our pleasure for the remainder of the day The crowd was very large, but not so much so as to render the situation disagreeable. But, on the other hand, all seemed to be as happy as we imagine the good people were when the tones of the old Liberty Bell fell joyfully upon their ears. Dinner was over, but our little party fared sumptuously on cake, ice cream and lemonade, after which, in search of water, we descended that long flight of steps which carries to the river’s edge, where the steamer J. C. Smith had landed. We went on board, and enjoyed for a short while the delightful breezes wafted to us from the bosom of the beautiful Tennessee. Having spent a few hours most pleasantly at the picnic grounds, we, with the sun shedding his gentle rays through umbrellas and big straw hats upon our heads, took our way back to the business portion of the city, where we spent some time in viewing and admiring the principal buildings. We cannot find words sufficiently strong to express our opinion of Sheffield, but suffice it to say that a more beautiful location for a town cannot be found in the State of Alabama. Sheffield is certainly a good town and stands on a solid basis. At 6:40 p.m. we bade adieu to the good people of Sheffield, and at 11 we were all dreaming of the enjoyable occasion at Sheffield July 4th, 1888. “EXCURSIONIST” HACKELBURG SIFTINGS Hackleburg, July 7th, 1888 Editor Herald: We attended the Masonic celebration at Allen’s Factory on last Saturday and there met with quite a number of friends and candidates until we couldn’t rest for being pulled this way and that way; and about all the chat was “Well, wheat do you think of my case in your neighborhood at present about my election?” Of course we had to appear civil and tell them that so far as we knew, their case was favorable. We would not forget to mention that we listed to two excellent doctrinal sermons on “Free Masonry” by Rev. J. M. COLEMAN and J. W. WHITE of Russellville. Really, Mr. Editor, it was a grand affair, and your correspondent enjoyed it hugely. There was no scarcity in the way of drinks, lemonade, soda water and last, but by no means least, there was “plenty of wild- cat” in the bushes. We saw some of the boys that could not possibly have walked any distance through a lane, and one nice-looking young man was so disgusted with the swaggering gait of his comrades that he coiled up on the road side and went to sleep. Others were yelling and firing off their little pocket guns at no great distance from the main company of people. This much of the day’s proceedings, Mr. Editor, we did not enjoy, and we feel sure there were many others present who did not. We wish the boys would learn to be decent when they attend public gatherings, and leave their shooters at home. Rev. JOHN ISBELL preached an interesting sermon at this place on Sunday last. Miss ELLA HAMILTON, of your town, accompanied by her brother ALBERT has charge of the school at this place this summer. We hope she may prove a good teacher and give entire satisfaction, making for herself many friends during her stay. She taught the two first days of this week, but owing to the people not being done with their crops, dismissed her school on Tuesday and left for Darlington, from where she will go to attend the grand picnic and Fourth of July celebration at Sheffield. Mr. D. W. OZBIRN and wife have been quite sick for several days past, but are now improving. There is a great deal of sickness in the neighborhood at present, but none serous. Wishing the Herald and its editor much success, I remain GLEANER A party of masked men went to the house of Charles Goss, a wealthy citizen of Pulaski County, Mo, not long since, dragged him from thence a mile off, where he was bound and whipped to death. The cause of the brutal work was for divulging the secrets of the Agricultural Wheel. Chicago, July 9 – Anarchist and Socialistic “Sunday Schools” which have recently been organized in Chicago under the superintendency of Paul Grattkan, are making great progress. There are sic of them now, and they hold their meetings every Sunday morning. Among the teachers are Christianson, editor in chief of the Arbeiter Zeitung, Paul Grattkan and Mrs. Lucy Parsons. A protectionist in politics but a free trader in religion – Bob Ingersoll COMMISSIONER R. F. KOLB AND HIS PROPOSED WESTERN TRIP The following grand tribute was paid the South on 23rd inst at the reunion at Gettysburg, by George William Curtis, editor of Harper’s Weekly…………….. AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK Bellville, Ont. July 9 – A slight shock of earthquake was felt here about 11:15 last night. It was accompanied by a dull rumbling noise. It was also felt at Modoc, Tweed and Woodwork and lasted about one minute. No paper will be issued from this office next week. We regret this for one reason. Our delinquents will throw it up to us the next time we go on a collecting tour, and we will feel mean about it, and let them off for yet another year. But we can’t help it. We’ve got a free pass on John Clark’s linen “duster” from Smithville to Atlanta and return and we just can’t keep still. – [Lee County )Ga.) News] SCIENCE AND MANSLAUGHTER If the military with scientific attainments and the scientific men with a desire to perfect military weapons keep on inventing and discovering , war will soon be accompanied by horrors from which it has been free in the past. It will become simply a question which set of gunners uses the latest appliances and how often they can shoot……………….. St. Paul, Minn., July 6 – The Maplewood Park Association of the Minnesota Chautauqua is preparing to bring suit for $10,000 damages against the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn. The Association charges that Mr. Talmage agreed to come to Maplewood and assist in opening the assembly on July 4th and 5th, and that his failure to keep his engagement has damaged the Association to the amount named. -------------------- OVER THE STATE – Gathered from the State Press Talladega is filing up with summer visitors. ------- Fine marble has been discovered in Etowah County. A full force of miners are now at work at the Corona mines Cotton worms are appearing in different portions of the State. New Market, Madison County, has a newspaper, the Enterprise. The Baptist State Convention will meet at Talladega on 13th inst. From almost every portion of the state comes the good news of fine crops. Monday editors of the Montgomery dailies will not longer appear. Perry county Democrats are at present engaged in making ugly faces at each other. There were 2,000 carcasses served at the Democratic barbecue at Ensley City on the Fourth Charlie Whitmore, a white boy, aged eight years, was drowned in Shade’s creek, near Birmingham on 7th inst. The Courier tells us that there are near one hundred and fifty candidates for the different county offices in Lamar. The Montgomery Dispatch has donned a summer dress of four pages all home print. It looks very bright and newsy, indeed. William Tucker, a farmer residing near Riverside on the Georgia Pacific R. R. was struck and instantly killed by lightning on 6th inst. The Second United States artillery, now stationed at Fort Barracas, Fla. will camp for the remainder of the summer on Monte Sano, Huntsville, The prospects for a corn and cotton crop are glowing, and our farmers are in good spirits. This year will be one of peace and plenty – [Jasper Star] A mortgage securing about six millions of dollars, and covering forty pages was recently filed in the office of the Judge of Probate of Lamar County for Record. Burglars entered the store of W. H. Clark in Hope Hull, a small station nine miles south of Montgomery on last week and by blowing open the safe secured about $1,600 worth of jewelry, together with many valuable papers and near $200 in money. The robbers escaped. ----------------- The following is an extract from a circular from the Postmaster General headed “Instructions to Postmaster” Any postal card, or any other matter upon the envelope or outside cover of which appears anything reflecting injuriously upon the persons addressed, or any one else or upon his character or conduct, or is plainly calculated and intended to injure his feelings or reputation, or ring him into discredit, or which threatens him will be excluded.

Advertise if you would build up your trade. Farmers say what hey want just now is a real “trash mover” Dr. W. W. WHITE, of Darlington was in the city on Monday last. 6000 printed tickets will be turned out of this office in a few days. Mr. W. R. WHITE and family made a short visit to Guin and returned on last week. Look out for a lively squall in case the “choking oil” act is performed next Saturday. Mr. J. J. LETCHWORTH, foreman on the new court house building, is off to Birmingham this week. Capt. A. L. WHITE returned from Fayette C. H. on last week, after an absence of several days. Miss DIXIE KEY, one of Hamilton’s fairest flowers, is visiting friends near Crew’s Mill this week. A political skeleton without either head or caudle appendage – The Republican party in Marion County. We have profound respect for an honest Republican but from a tender-foot waif in either party - Good Lord deliver us! Commissioner’s Court convened on Monday last and remained in session three days. We will give the proceedings next week. Our worthy and efficient Sheriff W. R. H. LODEN has been very unwell for several days. We are pleased to see him out this week. If you are a Democrat come out and prove your faith by your works. There is no middle ground. You are either for or against us. Part of the lumber is already on the ground and work will begin on Mr. R. I. CAMP’S new residence in a short time. Wouldn’t a Republican Representative from this county to the next Legislature – which will be Democratic by a large majority – feel awfully lonesome? Mr. S G. BAILEY, of Pikeville was in town on Tuesday last and before leaving added his name to our constantly growing subscription list. Don’t lose sight of that church and Masonic ball move. It is an enterprise in which every good citizen in and around Hamilton should feel a deep interest. Messrs. I. C. ELLIS and A. J. KELLEY, two substantial farmers of near Pearce’s Mill were in town the first of the week and called on the Herald. Mr. J. R. PEARCE and his accomplished lady spent part of last week at this place. They were returning to their home at Bexar from a visit to friends on New River. Rev. BENJAMIN AVERY gave us a call on Tuesday last and renewed his subscription to the Herald. The Parson thinks he will “get there Eli” this time, sure. There will be a picnic and grand rally of the Agricultural Wheel at Barnesville on Saturday next. We bespeak for those who attend a pleasant and interesting time. Mr. G. B. MIXON has purchased the stock of goods belonging to Mr. R. I. CAMP at this place. The latter proposed to have a new store erected in the near future and resume business here. ARTHUR WELCH, our assistant typo, has been on the sick list for the past few days, leaving us to act in the three-fold capacity of editor compositor and devil. However, the Herald comes out on time, as usual. Miss ELLA HAMILTON, of Hamilton, Ala. and Misses BELLE and VIRGIE PHILLIPS, of Bear Creek, accompanied by Mr. J. C. SRYGLEY, of the later place, were here and participated in the pleasures of the day on the 4th. – [Sheffield Enterprise.] Our friend Mr. J. C. PROVINS of Barnesville was in to see us on yesterday and presented the Herald with a full grown cotton bole, which he says was taken from his field containing nine acres, a grater part of which is waist high. Capt. HAMILTON has the only Red bandana in town, and prized it very highly. We suppose the strength of the ticket represented by those kerchiefs is so great that a Republican can detect one concealed in a Democrat’s pocket at the distance of several yards. At any rate they can’t stand the bandana – it looks so much nicer than the old war shirt. ROBBERS GET IN THEIR WORK AT THORN HILL – One Of Them Safe Behind The Bars Robbers entered the store-house of Mr. CHARLES L. HALEY at Thorn Hill this county on the night of the 3rd inst, and plundered it of goods to the amount of several hundred dollars worth. The following morning Mr. HALEY discovered what had taken place the night previous, and collecting a number of the citizens went in search of the robbers. After scouring the woods for several days they at last ran upon one of the robbers, camping in a hut on the S. & B. railroad. The man gave his name as WOODS, and says that he is from Missouri. Part of the stolen goods were in his possession, and seeing no change to dodge out he confessed the whole crime stating that there were three men concerned in the work, and that after committing the robbery he became sick and unable to travel, and his two accomplices then left him. He was safely lodged in jail at this place on Tuesday last, where it is hoped his two remaining partners may join him at an early day. WOODS, if such be his real name, is of medium height, has auburn hair and mustache, fair complexion, weight about 150 pounds, 40 years of age. He has but one arm, the left one being off just above the elbow. During the celebration of the Glorious Fourth at Water Valley, Miss. the grand stand gave way precipitating some 400 people to the ground below.
