MONTGOMERY. ALA, May 2S.-The
Democratic State Convention was call
ed to order at 1890 to-day by Chairman
TompkinS, of the State Committee. He
nominated Hon. w. w. Davidson, late
United States District Attorney, for
temporary chairman. and he was
unanimously chosen. Davidson made a
speech which aroused the enthusiasm
of his hearers. The convention is about
divided into Kolb and anti-kolb; the
former is dependent upon the Farmers
Alliance for his support. The feeling
is intense and Such excitement was
never known in Alabama. Great crowds
are here in addition to the delegates.
1t is hardly probable anything will be
done to-day as the committee on ere
dentials will have to report on three
contested delegations, 1t looks like a
four days session.

house. and some of the work done yester-
day there was no possible excuse for The
visitors were really presented with the
game because il required but an ordinary
quality of ball TO have defeated them.

innings, and although he was almost too
weak TO stand up, he did well and brought
a run in on IA hit when it was all he could
do to reach the base Plummer, the Me

Wheeling batters, but he kept his head,
which Fitzgerald, who appeared in the box
for Wheeling, was unable 10 do when 1t was

when, with two men on bases and two men
out he went TO sleep out in left field, ana

soft as soup, but Joe ate ii with fork.
Misjudgment isn't the proper name.
In the ninth the McKeesports needed
only one to tie, and Fitzgerald, like

following got a hit and, with two strikes
and two balls on the next, Fitzgerald hit
him with the ball which filled the bases

working him little, gave him an easy one

safely in centre field and the winning runs
were scored.
What Wheeling is in need of badly is
about two good pitchers, unless the gentle
men who officiate in that capacity suddenly
develop more ability in the twirling line.

she did i'm any one of the previous champion
