was called yesterday, but the attorneys for
Jenklnson objected to trying it before Judge
Kibbey, and moved a change of venue. The
motion was allowed, and L. D. Stubs was ap-
pointed by Judge Kibbey to hear the case.
Stubs was more satisfactory to Jenkinson's
attorneys than Judge Kibbey himself; so he was
set aside and j. W. Newman appointed Jen-
kinson's attorneys then filed his answer to
Foulke's petition, and the case was continued
until next Wednesday. AS the pleadings in the
case contain full account of the Dudley and
Noble contest, as we'll as the Jenkinson and
Foulke difference, summary of
their allegations may be of inter-
est Foulkes petition sets forth, in substance:
That Jenkinson and Foulke became partners in
July, 1883, for no limited time, and with no
articles of partnership; that Jenkinson was to
have the general business management. but that
either OF the partners was to contribute edlto-
rails, and that neither should insist on the inser
ton of anything against the wishes of the other;
that after the Republican county convention had
passed the resolution calling upon Colonel Dud-
ley to accept the nomination for Governor and
Colonel Dudley had declared himself willing
TO do, Jenkinson wrote articles for the paper in
furious to Dudley, and threatened to make
very vigorous attack upon him; that to this
Fouke objected, but Jenkinson persisted; that
Foulke then offered to buy sell, first proposing
that they each fix a valuation on the paper. ex-
change valuations, and the highest take it at his
own price; that Foulke offered to sell for So 500 his
one third interest, and Jenknson first demanded
$l3 500 for his twothirds interest, but afterwards
offered to take $12, 900; that Foulke then agreed
to take $500 or give $l1 900, and subsequently
aged to take So, 600, and to accept jenkinson's
unsecured notes at six months and year
therefor; that all these offers were refused by
Jenkinson, who claimed that he was under
pledge to support Noble, which required that he

ject to his support of Noble, but only to his at
tack on Dudley, from which Jenkinson refused
to refrain; that Foulke then proposed to put the
paper in the hands of a third party pending the
controversy which Jenkinson refused; and that
Fouke then served notice of dissolution Jen
kinson and requested Jenkinson to enter into
some arrangement for winding up the concern,
but that Jenkinson refused to do anything,
claiming exclusive possession of the firm property.
Jenkinson's answer alleges that in the forma
ton of the partnership between him and Foulke
it was agreed that he should have exclusive ed
itorial and business management of the Palladi-
UNI, and that under authority of this agreement,
when Noble entered upon his canvass for the
nomination for Auditor of State, which was
some time prior to the meeting of the county
convention, he promised Noble the support OF
the paper. Before consenting to make this prom
ise however the answer further alleges,
Jenkinson required Noble to see Colonel Dudley
in person, and ascertain what Dudleys lnten-
tons were in respect to the noinlnatlon Ior

states, and at the same time informed
Dudley that if he designed being a carl
didate for Governor he (Noblel would
not come out Dudley replied to Noble, in the
language of the answer, that he was not and
would not, under any circumstance, be candi-
date for said nomination for Governor, but
would support and do all he could for said Noble
in his candidacy for Auditor of State" There
upon, the answer continues, Jenkinson began to
support Mobiles candidacy in the Palladium with
Foulke's knowledge and consent, and Foulke
himself publicly stated that he would support
Noble, and wrote divers letters for Noble to
leading Republicans. On the night preceding
the meeting of the Republican county conven-
tion the answer alleges further, a private meet
ing of Heading Republicans, friends of said No
BILE" was held at Foulke's office ito consider the
best method to be taken" at the convention
next day, ''to further the success" of No
BILE in his candidacy. / At this meeting
| it was determined, in Foulkes presence and with
his cooperation, to select in the county conven-
ton delegates to the State convention who would
support Noble; and, in pursuance of this de-
termination, Foulke himself was chosen as one
of the delegates The famous Dudley resolu-
ton, the answer alleges, was explained to be,
both when it was presented to the committee on
resolution and later when it was presented to
the convention, merely complimentary General
7. w Bennett, the author of it, declared to the
committee that he had then a letter in his
pocket wherein Dudley declined positively to be
a candidate, and by this declaration and similar
declarations in convention, persuaded Mobiles
friends to withhold all opposition to
the resolution. Immediately the convention adj
journed Dudleys friends telegraphed the resolu-
ton to him. and in few days he announced
himself persuaded by it to hold out no longer,
and now willing to accept nomination for Gov
ernor. Jenkinson's intention, the answer sets
forth further was to attack Dudley only so far
as it became necessary in supporting Noble, and
this only did he threaten to Mr.. Foulke.
Finally the answer declares that Jenknson has
in no wise mismanaged the partnership bust

of the paper than Foulke, and is more familiar
with its management than any one else can. soon
become; and that he should, therefore. be left
in charge OF the business for the present at least
even though sale of the paper be ordered.
In rebuttal of Jenkinson's answer Foulke
makes affidavit that his own support of Noble
was with the express condition-twice stated to
Noble himself-that, should Dudley at any time
thereafter become a candidate, his (Foulke's)
support would then be given to Dudley.
