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.

It will soon be impossible for the Japanese to make a raid up the Pei Ho toward Tekin. ’ 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 them.

The Russian officials in ‘Shang hai say that if Russian trade suffer too severely from the war Russia s movements are watched very close ly by Japan, owing to the reports of a Russo-Chinese entente. The weather on the China sea is so rough that all smaller vessels have been driven into port. The Japanese cruisers are supposed to be concentrating at Chemulpo. THINKS JAPAN WILL WHIP. 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. FATHER OR BENEFACTOR? Two Families Fighting for a little Ordinary Davis is occupying do’ ordinary position today. The fact is Ordin try Davis is wish ing for the wisdom of a Solomon while listing patiently to law and argument, evidence and most of all, looking upon two strong men who love and are contending for the priv ilege of protecting a blue eyed sunny haired little maidden of four years.

The Chairman Opens the Cam. paign With a Strong Speech. I Lawrenceville, Ga., August 7. — k The democracy of Gwinnett is in C the saddle today, and Hon. A. 8. (Clay is the horseman. The Central Club invited Mr. Clay to address the people here to day and more than a thousand enthusiastic democrats greeted his first appearence in Gwinnett. He spoke for two hours and made an able speech . During the speech Colonel Tom Winn interrupted him frequently, but Mr, Clay met him at every pass and got the best of it. Gwinnettt primary of Sat urday demoralized the enemy and Clays speech today completed the stampede, Count on Gwinnetts majority in October at an even thousaud. A resolution offered by G D.

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,” 1 O CENTS A WEEK *»DOLLAR&>* SAVED Bl _ VISITING FAHY'S SUMMER SALES THIS WEEK.» U nequalled - will be offered this week 5r the Dress Goods departxnem We want every lady to ai spect our lovely line of goTutle before she contents herseif for we feel assured that wt can delight all.
