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. “OUR CONTROVERSY” As may be seen from an article in this week’s Herald from the pen of Mr. JOHN C. CAMP, the gentleman seems equally as hard to convince that we were not trying to slander the Wheel as he is to see that almost every move made by the organization in this state toward politics has been either directly or indirectly in the interest of the Republican Party. He chides us for referring our readers to Mr. PALMER, and thinks it would have been better for us had we named the paper from which our information was obtained. Does the gentleman think that Mr. PALMER is also trying to “slander” the Wheel? If such articles as those he quotes from the Herald are “slanderous” then, we confess that the Wheel has been most awfully “slandered.” But let us notice the action of the Wheel in certain portions of Alabama during the past two years, and see how far such action will bear us out in the “bold” and “slanderous” assertions that the Wheel is political. 1. When we told our readers that Rads and Wheelers voted together like twin brothers in Franklin Co two years ago, did we not speak the whole truth? 2. When we stated not long since that “the only barrier now between the Wheel and a political plank is only a lack of force to insure success when the effort is made” did we slander the Wheel? For an answer we refer our readers to a certain Wheel orator, who said in a speech delivered before the last wheel meeting held at this place that he “would not support a man who was not willing to run on a Wheel ticket. 3. When we come out today and tell our readers that the Alabama State Wheel, the immensely worshipped, non-political organ of the Order in this state, is now hurrahing for Harrison and Morton, the Republican candidates for President and Vie-President, are we “slandering” the Wheel? If so, we shall continue to slander it by giving facts just as they come up, so long as the organization exists, or so long as we remain able to wield a pen in defense of the Democratic Party that paper denounces. The idea of our stooping to slander the Wheel, is too utterly absurd to think of, there are plenty of office seekers together with the State Wheel organ to attend to that matter, and the latter has been doing its share of the work pretty effectively for the past eighteen months. Mr. CAMP seems quite ignorant of the fact that in as much as the Wheel of this county has never meet and denounced a single blood and thunder editorial, or so much as one line of the many pages of communistic rot that have from time to time appeared in the State Wheel when it had the power to do sol it stands open to an endorsement of that paper’s teachings. Such is the case, however, and until some steps are taken in the way of denouncing the State Wheel’s teachings we hold the organization responsible. We shall make no further effort to prove where we obtained our information more than to repeat that it was not original with the Herald and consequently if false at all, not of our make. However, if Mr. CAMP desires to do so he can call at this office and read the same “slanderous “ article in the Winston Herald of the 12th ult., the same date of the issue of this paper in which the article appeared. Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Strengthening Eye Salve We call the attention of our Wheeler friends – those who are Democrats – to the fact that their beloved state organ, published at Moulton, has declared for Harrison and Morton, and a protective tariff. Not long since the editor of the State Wheel declared for war, denounced both of the old political parties, and howled himself hoarse in the interest of the Union Labor Party. Now the battle cry is “Harrison and Morton” and a “high tariff” for toiling masses of the country. How long will sane Democrats be led by such doctrines as the Wheel advocates? What more do we want to hear us out in past assertions that he Wheel is a “Republican trick” than this action on the part of its beloved newspaper? Has the Wheel of this county ever met and denounced a single thing gotten up by the State Wheel paper? If so, we haven’t heard of it. “No politics” was the first cry, but of late the cries are so numerous, and entirely different, and inconsistent that Wheelers themselves can’t tell what they want. Now if you are a Democrat come out for Cleveland and Thurman and tariff reform. If you are “only a Wheeler” just rally to your State paper in it support of the Republican candidate or monopoly and millionaires. Owing to the fact that we were called away to look after some very important business the Herald failed to make its appearance on last week. We hope to avoid such occurrence in the future. “It’s the fire that tries the gold.” If you are a Democrat you will not scratch the State ticket. THE WHEEL ORATOR’S REPLY Editor Herald: Dear Sir: Your liberal offer allowing me space in your columns to answer the charges made upon me by you, of uttering an untruth, induces me to thus condescend. Now, you say that you “noticed in an exchange an article which in substance meant just what is set forth in the above.” Now reader would it not have been much the better testimony had he reproduced the article and given it the proper credit. Would not the readers of the Herald have been as well and thoroughly convinced by that as by a reference to Mr. H. W. PALMER? Probably I could prove by Mr. TOLLERSON, or some one else, that it is your own making, but I will not have to resort to such means until you show which of your exchanges you borrowed the article from. You first asserted that a man in Pulaski County Mo was murdered by a company of masked men and that he cause of the brutal work was for divulging the secrets of the Agricultural Wheel. And now in order to prove to your readers that I uttered an untruth you say” that in all candor and earnestness and upon the honor of a journalist, that the article is not a falsehood of the Herald’s own making.” And at the same time you say that you do not propose to prove the article to be the truth “only an item of news.” Well, if I was in your place I would just show up where I got that item, or I would quit growling, one or the other. I charge you that I will hold you responsible until you show up your authority. I have noticed several other items of news in the Herald within the last twelve months and I think that they all come forth of the same sprit. Below I will remind you of a few items: 1. “It is generally understood that Democracy is far more repugnant to those Wheel organs than the nauseating stench of Republicanism.” 2. “The old Republican hen has been very prolific in Alabama the past two years. Especially in Franklin County where she has been on the set since hatching the Wheel.” 3. “Every office-seeking Rad and disgruntled Democrat in both organizations. This being true if the Alliance could furnish an equal share of the desired timber a consolidation could be effected on the first ballot.” 4. “All the barrier that is now between the organization and a political plank is the want of force to insure success when the effort is made. The Wheel was gotten up at the North and slowly rolled down here for no other purpose than that of breaking up the solid South.” Are not these somewhat bold assertions, I ask you dear reader, are they true or false? And Mr. Editor, if the decision of your readers should be that they are false, will you say that those are “only items of news” not intended to slander the organization. And again, Mr. Editor, we have seen several slanderous articles in our columns in the form of letter signed a Wheeler. Will you do the order the justice to give the names of those Wheelers in your next issue, or will you still assume the responsibly of those bold and slanderous assertions? And when you chance to hear the Wheel orator speak of them to his cherished order, come out with another article in which to offer the piteous excuse, “only an item of news.” The responsibility of those are only cast upon you where it will surely rest until you show up from whence and from whom you gathered these times of news. Now you seem surprised that I did not first call upon you for information before denouncing it. Better for you that I did not, for if I had done so, and you had made no better excuse than is when in your personal attack upon me in your last issue, you would have heard more denunciations. Now you say that if you made a wrong statement that you will be more than willing to correct the same. Well, you said unqualifiedly that an offence was committed, which if true deserves punishment in the highest degree, and you do not pretend to establish the assertion as a fact. I ask did you know anything of the falsity or truthfulness of the assertion at the time? Is it right to make such statements if it was not right, then it is a wrong statement, and according to promises you will be thankful for this information, and correct he same but showing where you got that “item.” It is to be hoped that you will remove the censure by giving us the names of all of those Wheelers who have been writing those “items of news” for the Herald in the form of letters, and at the same time concealing their names and addresses. Now, come out Mr. Editor and show us that somebody else is the guilty parties and let us know who to accuse, and then we promise that we will only accuse you as being accessory. Yours very Truly JOHN C. CAMP Ad for DR. J. H. McLean’s Medical Almanac There seems to be too many Democrats in the Wheel in this county for the organization to put out a third party ticket. We understand that some were in favor of so doing, but fortunately for the good of the organization they were a very small minority. We are heartily glad to see this spirit of determination on the part of good Democrats who belong to the order, so firm against a third party, and so long as they keep the Wheel out of politics it may continue to roll. Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Little Liver and Kidney Pellets At last accounts those aspirants for legislative honors were still pouring their vials of wrath and indignation upon the Herald. They may continue to do so and we are not going to get made about it either. You see some men actually have no merit of their own, and without somebody can be dragged down and themselves reared upon the ruins, why – they are just left out in the cold. Don’t you see? Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s’ Volcanic Gil Ointment The Birmingham Age says that it is almost cetin the Republicans will put up a candidate to oppose Mr. BANKHEAD for congress in the sixth district. The Age somehow or other is pretty good authority on matters republican and we reckon there is something in this piece of information. We fancy, however, that Col. Bankhead will spend no sleepless nights worrying over the matter – [Mont. Dispatch] Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Chills and Fever cure Ad for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm Scarlet fever has made its appearance in Montgomery. SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT M. M.
