J A Grand Democratic Rally At Belton.
Governor Culberson, as per pre-
vious appointment, addressed the
people of Bell county at Belton at 2
o’clock p. rn. last Tuesday. The
court house was packed with atten-
tive listeners, and a large number
of people were turned away for want
of room.
The governor was at his best and
handled national and state matters
with consummate skill and ability
First taking the democratic plat
form, plank by plank, and com
pletely routed the enemies of dem
ocracy who ha ye been waging an un
wholy war against the Chicago plat
form and democracy, coming from
republicans and their allies (some of
their gold standard friends) follow-
ers of Mr. Cleveland, Secretary Car-
lisle, Senator Palmer and General
Buckner, special aids to Hanna, Mc-
Kinley, robber tariff, monopolies,
trusts and moneyed combines.
The governor discussed the great
financial question from a true demo-
cratic and economic standpoint
with great skill and ability. On
state matters, as regards to ecor-
omy, the great school interest of the
state, the enforcement of the laws,
her public institutions, indeed every
interest of the state and her people
have diligently and unremittingly
cared for at all times, showing his
administration, by facts and figures,
to have been one amontr the most
economical administrations in the
history of this great state. His cal-
lumniators, vilifiers and false ac
cusers were completely routed.
The governor’s exhortations to all
true and tried democrats who had,
in the few past years, gone away
from the democratic party to now
return to the house of their father
to help in this great battle that is
now beinu fiercely waned by the
enemies of democracy and the peo-
ple, by all the plutocratic and money
powers of this country and Europe,
to plunge the people of this govern
ment into financial slavery and ruin.
The crises is now at hand, the
supreme moment is now upon our
people, the shackles must now be
thrown off before they are made
fast. “Hence,” said he, “we urge
you to come back and aid your
friends and countrymen in this great
battle. The leaders of the party
with whom you affiliate and whose
pledges and platforms has ever been
for financial reform, free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to 1,
also outspoken in favor of an income
tax and opposition to all trusts,
monopolies and moneyed combines
have recently, in this state, formed
a coalition with the republicans by
which your electors stand pledged
to cast the electoral vote to and for
Maj. McKinley. Some of the lead-
ers of the populist party are now
openly advocating the cause of Han
aa and McKinlev. Can you, as
democrats, become a party to this
unwholy alliance? Every democrat,
populist and republican that is op-
posed to the single gold standard
should come out and support Bryan
and Sewall in this election. It is
plutocracy, protective tariff, trusts,
monopolies aud moneyed combines,
or democracy and the cause of the
people, prosperity, rising prices of
all products of the farm and factory
to be followed by good and prosper-
ous times.”
The meeting was characterised
by a great deel of enthusiasm and
good order. The governor was fre-
quently cheered to the echo, and his
speech was a masterly effort from
start to finish. His tribute to M r
Sewall as a sterling, true and tried
democrat, honest and worthy, a
man who has ever been of the peo-
ple, with the people and for the peo-
ple, was impressive and full of zeal.
The tribute paid to Mr. Wm. J.
Bryan by the governor was grand,
good and true. Doubtless much
good was done for ihe cause of the
people and democracy. W.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 19.—A
battle which occurred at Belle Ellen
mines, Bibb county, yesterday be-
tween whites and blacks resulted
in the death of two men and the
wounding of two others. Deputy
Sheriff Tatem had gone to the place
from Blocton Saturday with a war-
rant for the arrest of George Goree,
a notorious negro character. Goree
was tound early yesterday morning
in the negro quarters, and resisted
arrest, drawing a shotgun on the
officer. The latter brought his pis-
tol into play and both men pulled
the triggers ol their weapons. Ta-
tem’s pistol refused to fire, but Go-
ree’s guu was discharged, the load,

which consisted of birdshot, taking
effect in Tatem's head, producing a
severe wound. At this juncture
several other negroes ran to Goree’s
rescue with drawn weapons. J02
Sullivan, a jewelry dealer from Bes-
semer, seeing Tatem’s plight, came
to his rescue and opened tire. He
killed Goree at the first shot. Then
Tatem, though wounded, got his
pistol to working and began firing.
A dozen or more shots were dis
charged. When the battle was over
Frank Martin, colored, was dying
and Jim Dennis, colored, was badly
wounded. A large number of ne-
groes were soon gathered and made
ugly demonstrations toward Tatem
and Sullivan, but the whites rallied
to them. For a time it looked like
wholesale bloodshed would follow,
but the admirable showing of the
whites overawed the negroes and
they finally dispersed.
