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. Congressman Randall continues to improve slowly. A special from Jacksonville, Fla. says that Plant City, where yellow fever is reported as existing, has been entirely depopulated, with the exception of two or three persons who are unable to be removed. We sympathize with the “dear people” during this canvass. We will sympathize with the candidates after the first Monday in August. In order that you may receive a copy with certainly and in due time of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Medical Almanac and the Rev. Dr. Irl Hick’s Storm Chart and Calendar for 1889, send a two-cent stamp name the language you require and write plainly your name, post office, county and state ………………… The campaign opened up at this place on Monday last, and is now in full blast. There are plenty of good men in the field to select from, it only remains for the people to make a wise selection by electing good competent men to fill the different offices. The man who said on last Monday that he “didn’t endorse the Herald nor its editor” and few moment later that he was “a Democrat dyed-in-the-wool” etc. It should be remembered that this same dyed-in-the-wool” Democrat opposed the regular democratic nominee for the state Senate some years ago. How is this for the “dyed-in-the-wool” article? ONLY AN ITEM OF NEWS – Not a “Falsehood of the herald’s Own Make’ as Stated by the Wheel Orator “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.” The above article appeared in last week’s Herald as an item of news, and not intended to slander any party of organization. We noticed in an exchange an article which in substance, meant just what is set forth in the above: That a citizen of Pulaski County, Missouri, was taken from his home by a party of masked men, and whipped to death for divulging the secrets of the Agricultural Wheel. Our reason for reproducing this article is not to prove to our readers that any man was whipped to death in Missouri, but to tell them in all candor and earnestness, and upon the honor of a journalist, that the article is not “a falsehood” of the Heralds own making, intended to slander the Agriculture Wheel. We say this from the fact that on last Saturday while addressing a large concourse of people at Barnesville, Mr. JOHN C. CAMP, with a copy of the Herald in hand, and with his clear, clarion voice, denounced the article as “a falsehood of our own making, intended to slander the Wheel.” When he made this bold assertion did he know what he was denouncing? Did he, we ask, know anything in regard to either the falsity or truthfulness of the article he denounced? We answer most emphatically that he did not, and when he did so denounce it uttered an untruth whether unintentionally or maliciously, we are not prepared to say. We do know, however that our information was obtained through one of our exchanges and that pretty much the same statement as made in the Herald has appeared in different Journals throughout the country. We refer our readers to Mr. H. W. PALMER, a citizen well known throughout the county as one who remembers having read of the circumstance in the National Tribune some week s prior to its appearance in the Herald. Mr. CAMP had never spoken to us in regard to the article but suddenly and when surrounded by many members of his cherished order, denounced it without so much as even trying to inform himself whether we had stated falsely or correctly. Did he really believe that the Herald alone was responsible, or was he aiming to prejudice the minds of the people against us, and retard the progress of the paper? These questions we leave for Mr. CAMP to answer, in case he desires to do so. Our columns are free and open to him, for any reply he may see fit to make as regards his authority for charging us with intending to slander any man or organization. Now, in conclusion we will say that if we have made a wrong statement we will be more than willing to correct the same, and will thank Mr. CAMP or any of his brother Wheelers to come forward and prove that we have. The Herald’s circulation is increasing gradually, notwithstanding the united effort of a very few men to strangle it. Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Little Liver and Kidney Pellets FROM PIKEVILLE Pikeville, Ala., July 12, ‘88 Editor Herald: After a sojourn of about six months in the active and busy little city of Sheffield, I have returned to dear old Marion for a few weeks for east and recreation. Thinking that some of your readers might be interested by what I saw and heard on the way before I left Sheffield and after I reached this county I concluded to write you another letter for publication . Our Fourth of July celebration was a big success in every meaning of the word. The day was rather warm, but the beautiful shady spot, known as Riverside Park, at the head of Montgomery avenue, where the speaking and picnicking which was indulged in was quite pleasant and comfortable. The park is situated at the verge of a high and picturesque bluff which overhands the noble Tennessee, whose restless waters lash the stones nearly a hundred feet below. Beyond the river stretch forth fertile plains, covered with a magnificent growth of timber, its patches of cultivate fields here and there among the trees like beautiful silver-tinted lakes festooned with mountains. To the right and within plain view, arise the spires and domes of the beautiful and classical old city of Florence, who contributed much of her population and considerable of her eloquence to the enjoyment of the occasion. It was a spot to inspire the patriotic tongue of the eloquent gentlemen who had been selected to make the America eagle scream on this glorious anniversary of American Independence. And they did ample justice to the occasion. They discussed the tariff, the Tennessee River, Sheffield, the progress of the 19th century, and a number of other subjects, and occasionally referred to the 4th of July, which reference was generally greeted with tumultuous applause. After hearing about half the orators, I came to the conclusion that the country was safe and went around to see how the preparations for dinner were progressing. Before the speaking, and before the crowd assembled in Riverside Park, there was a very beautiful parade, composed of young ladies on horseback dress in white uniform with blue sashes and riding caps, gotten up to represent the different States and territories of the union. They were escorted by young gentlemen in black uniforms with red sashes, legging and helmets. Then the mayors of the three cities (Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia) with the members of the city council, speakers, invited guests, etc. In carriage; citizens in carriages and on horseback, an last, but by means the least interesting, was the Snolighoster band. This last feature with the formidable name, your reader will, I opine, be glad to know is nothing more terrible than a company of boys dressed in every conceivable grotesque manner, and riding every conceivable kind of conveyance from a billy goat to a road engine, and a more horrible din than they made has not been heard since Joshua’s hoarse voice and breaking pitchers caused the walls of Jericho to tumble down. Taken all in all, the celebration of the Fourth was a grand success and very creditable to the city. Several parties from Marion County came up to participate in the days festivities, among whom were Miss ELLA HAMILTON, of Hamilton; misses BELLE and VIRGIE PHILLIPS and Messrs W. W. WHITE and SRYGLEY, of Allen’s Factory and Mr. C. L. HALEY, of Thorn Hill As I came by Isbell, I saw my friend “Major” GAST, and as the train stopped there for several minutes, I had time for a right good little conversation with him. He was looking as big, and as fat, and as good natured and as jolly as ever, but was sorry to learn as I did from him that Mrs. GAST was in bad health and had been for some time. I trust she may soon be restored to the good health that she enjoyed while at Hamilton, for she is one of the best, most hospitable kind and companionable ladies I have ever known. When I reached Bear River, I learned that on last Friday Mr. JOHN R. PHILLIPS’ horse ran away with him, throwing him from his buggy and bruising him up considerably. It was not thought that he was seriously hurt, however, and I am glad to know that such is the case. I suppose you have heard of the robbery on the night of the 3rd inst., of Mr. C. M. HALEY’S store at Thorn Hill. Between five hundred and a thousand dollars worth of goods were stolen, but no money except three or four dollars. They took a lot of stamped envelopes from the post office, and that fact will make our dear Uncle Sam interested in the apprehension of the rascals. I intended to write you a lot of matter concerning Jasper, but as this letter is rather long, I will omit that until some future time. They tell me that Marion County is absolutely rent in twain over political matters. Well, if it is it “hadn’t orter be.” There can be no sufficient reason given why a contest for office should engender such ad feelings and so emitter the minds of the people against each other. It reminds me very forcibly of an anecdote I once heard of an old gentleman in Atlanta who had done something right nice for one of the public schools at the time of its closing exercises. The story runs that the pupils in a body called on the old gentleman to thank him for his kindness and one or two of the best speakers were put forward to make neat little speeches of thanks which they did in a very creditable manner. The old gentleman heard them through, thanked them very kindly for the honor they had conferred upon him by calling upon him in a body and wound up his remarks by some complimentary allusions to their declamation of the day. There was one thing, however, he didn’t’ feel quite easy about, and that was their frequent reference to the sagacity and wisdom of the Vox Populi. “I am older than you, my young friends,” he continued, “and have seen more of the world, and my candid opinion given, after being experienced, is that the Vox Populi are a durn fool.” The application may be lost, strayed or stolen. With best wishes for yourself and every candidate in the field, to all of whom I am a personal friend. I will close and go out in the old orchard and play with the baby. G. Ad for Dr. J. H.
