The democrats are wild with de

(ins have been honest ones, and

The following are the counties
which the democrats lost most

CHARGED ‘•HAMEFUI FRAUD.
The f rauds of this year are more
notorious and shameful than those
of 1892. For 'he purpose of de
ceiving the public they have to
some extent been shifted,
The returns as reported from
Lowndes county indicate frauds
exceeding anything ev»r before
known in the h'st-»ry of this state
or any other state and the recoid
iu that country is a disgrace to
our civilization In Montgomery,
Bullock and Barbour the frauds
are hardlv less aggravated.
The opposition claim Madison
county by a majority of
There are hardly a doz n intelli
gent citizens in that county who
do not know that our strength iu
Madison county this year is much
more strongly developed than in
1892, when we carried the county
by about 400 majority .
The intensely of feeling prevail
ing this year is much greater 'ban
in 1892. and it is ridiculous to
claim that there has been a change
of nearly 2,000 votes in Madison
county in favor of ballot box
stuffers and machine democracy .
Furthermore it is known to the
disgrace of the whole state that
some seven or eight negroes were
appointed as inspectors in Madi
son county several of whom could
neither read nor write.
It is a serious fact that in the
city of Montgomery at 4:30 o’clock
this evening only thirty minutes
before the polls were closed not
exceeding 1.340 white voters and
seventy four colored voters had
cast t’neir ballots by actual count
notwithstanding this fact it is
claimed that the city ot Montgom
ery gives a majority of 2,400 for
Colonel Odes.
THE FIXERS WERE FOR OATS,
"Iu the county of Jefferson a
large number of votes were con
trolled against our tickets by fixers
who are opposed to us. Deputy
sheriffs crowded the polling places
and treated illiterate voters, parti
cularlv negroes, with indignity
and insisted up m fixing their tick
ets. In many precincts we had no
fixer and in one important pre
cinct iu the city of Birmingham
we had only one fixer, while there
were from eight to ten deputy
sheriffs standing around the pol
ling place ready, anxious and soli
citous in fixing the tickets of vot
ers who < eclared their desire to
vote our ticket. At Bessemer more
than four hundred of our voters
were denied an opportunity of cast
ing their ballots un account of op
position leaders crowding the pol
ling places, being materially aid
ed by officers of the law' in block
ing the polling place to the disad
vantage of our voters.
"In view of this condition of as
fairs, in the absence of a contest
law, 1 cannot escape the respeu
nihility of presenting the issue, not
only to the supporters of our tick
et, but to all intelligent,honorable
and law abiding citizens of this
state.
“The great majority of our citizen
without regard to past or pn sent par
ly affliations, favor honest election
and, in my opinion, tne good peop'e
of this state are not willing longer to
submit to the domination of a ma
chine organization whose perpotua
tion of power is solely contingent up
on election fraud.
CONFERENCE OF CANDIDATES.
“The issue was made in 1892 and
we submitted. It has again been
made, and it now rests with the good
people of this state to determine
whether or not they will longer sub
mit to a pohcv which sets aside the
will of the people and destroys the
form of republican institutions in this
state, end which, if persisted in, will
surely end in deplorable consequences
Supported by the conservative in
telligent, industrious and honest ele
ment of this state, it has been our
sincere desire to maintain and our
policy to advocate only those meas
ures that will insure the perpetuation
of republican institutions to the end
that lawlessness may not, prevail. The
time has arrived, however when the
people of Alabama must decide for

ken her to Taku.All pilots have been
warned officially that they must not
guide Japanese vessels nor give them
any information as to the waters aud

soon be impossible for the Japanese
to make a raid up the Pei Ho toward

The Central News correspond
ent in Shanghai says that Colonel
van Henneken has made another
affidavit concerning the sinking of
the Kow-Shung. This affidavit
differs from the accounts already 7
given only in a few details. In
it Colonel von Henneken savs that
after the demands of the Japanese
officers and the replies of the Eng
lish and Chenese had been made
the cruiser Naniwa, which lay on
the port side, launched two torpe
does and lixed six guns at the
Kow-Shung.
The transport was struck amid
ships and sank quickly. The Eu
ropeans jumped into the water be
fore the transport was hit and the
Chinese began to jump in as the
transport settled down. The Nani
wa lowered an armed boat, which
kept up the fire on the Kow-Shung
until she went under.
Col.von Henneken repeats that
both the Kow-ghung and Naniwa
fired on those swimming between

Tacoina, Wash.. August 7. —Cap-
tain W. R. Bridgeman, who has
commanded the United States
cruiser Baltimore for the last two
years, returned here on a two
months leave of absence, having
left the cruiser at Chemulpo, Corea
July 12th, He regards the orient
al war as an unequal contest, with
tie odds greatly favoring Japan,
which, be says, has a splendid na
vy aud an army as well equipped
as auy European eountry.Japan,he
thinks, is sure to win unless China
is given time to make war fprepa
tions on a gigantic scale. In his
opinion, the Japanese government
has been endeavoring to force the
war in order to detach attention
from it to internal political dis
sentions.

his attorneys Messrs. Fouche and

ter which he gave to Mr. and Mrs.
Warren a year ago.
It was on the Oth. of last August
that the little ones mother died
leaving her six children to a wife
less father. And then and there,
in his utter helpless condition, Mr
Townsend who was very poor, gave ,
his little three year old to the ”

On the first Sunday in November >
Mr. Townsend, wbo lives on Ar i

At the same time the pretty little

of her new mama and papa and wo

heart that they would rather die than
part with her now.

THISSUMMERIN GOTHAM
From the National Metropolis
comes good reasons why
we may Consider the
Panick as a Part of
Bigness History.
New York, August 7. —Our mer
chants and business men now feel
8 8 if the prolonged agony over the
tariff will end m a few days and
that business which has been from
baud to mouth for fully eight
mouths, will start from a more
substantial basis than ever.
The curtailment of production
has been se great that stocks of
merchandise iu all sections of the
/■» z-vit •xf»• <» » n n 1 Inw flln Ii frtF TA V
country are smaller than tor many
years. The financial losses sus
tained by merchants must necessa
rily curtailcreditsjand compel them
to f conduct their affairs with
more caution.
To put the case more plainly,
while the manufature of goods may
for a time be reduced 20 or 25 per
cent, from the volum attained a
couple of years ago. there will be
no such falling off in the demand
because of the increase in popula
tion and the frugality exercised on
ull sides during the financial de
prifsion which will force the peo
pie to replni°h thair supplies.
These factors ought to give the
country a splendid chance to re
cuperate in the coming fall and
spring of 1895, and merchants are
eagerly waiting for the signal from
Washington for a resumption of
operations untrammelled by either
the tariff or silver drawbacks.
Most products and manufactures
are down to bed-rock prices, cred
its have been enormously contract-
ed since the panic of last year, the
weak spots in the financial and
commercial fabric have been
eradicated, a vast amount of debt
to Europe has been liquidated and
our institutions are in a very
strong position.
Surely this is a combination of
conditions which must tell on ull
legitimate institutions as soon as
the country is relieved of tariff
tinkering. It is impossible to note
that there are some distinct signs
of improvement in some directions
already.
They are seen in a moderate ex
tension of bank loans in a harden
ing tendency of rates for time
money and more particularly in
the railway traffic returns just at
hand.
While our theatres are nearly all
closed, nevertheless there has been
developed this Summer a most unusu
al and nightlv successful form of hot
weather entertainments. That is the
roof garden show
If that astute mar a«*er who once
controlled the Casino had appreciat
ed the precutiiarv value which was in
his first suggestion of an open air
concert and variety peiforrnance up
on the roof of the Casino, possibly he
could have patented or trade-marke 1
the idea and thus become swift
ly rich.
In five places of amusement the
crowd flocks nightly to the roof. Only
once or twice during the Summer has
the air been so sultry as to make
these places uncomfortable.
The breezes blow across from one
river to an other. There arc gay
lights and the distant noises of the
streets come up not as a disturbing 1
element, but really with harmonious
suggestion.
The utmost unconventionality pre
vails and yet order is maintained, and
it does not cast suspicion upon a wo
man or the suggestion of fast living
upon a man to be seen at these pla
ces . Light drinks are served.
'The entertainment provided is just
interesting enough not to be weari
some, and thj roof garded concerts
are assuredly a success.
At one of the theatres it has been
possible to mantain a season of Sum
mer opera, and strangely enough that
one which has successfully defied the
traditions is the well-worn "Mikado,”
