Ching Ytsen, $500 tons.

The election on August showed a ma
jority of $1,000 for the Democratic ticket
For two days after the election Kolb
and his leaders said nothing. Then they
raised the cry of fraud. a conference of
the leading Republicans. Kolbites and
Populists was held, and Kolb issued an
address to the people setting forth that
monstrous frauds had been committed by
the Democrats in the Black Belt counties,
and giving warning that be and his fol-
lowers would no longer submit. He
claimed to have received majority of the
votes in the white counties, and charged
that If the Democratic majorities in the
Black Belt counties alleged to be fraudu-
lent we're eliminated. as he claimed IL
should be, he would have q majority OF
the legal vote.
Thomas @. Jones, the retiring Cover
nor, has served as Governor four years.
He was born in Georgia. He did gallant
service for the Confederacy in the war and
was colonel of the Second Regiment Ala
bama Safe troops when elected Governor.
He made a big reputation last summer in
preserving order during the mine and rail-
road strikes here. He believes strictly in
the enforcement of the law and does not
hesitate to use the military power when
necessary. He takes a great pride in the
State soldiery, which was dubbed by the
strikers last summer as "Tom Jones' tin
soldiers"
Governor-elect William c. Oates is So
years old and native Alabamian. He
has served in Congress for twelve years
and now aspires to succeed Senator Pugh
In the Senate two years hence. He lost
an arm during the war. He is a man of
determin alton and will not be trif1ed with.
Having been legally declared elected Gov
ernor he will take his seat and his friends
say he will allow no dual government.
The morning call., 1894-12-02

OF the white voters of Alabama against
such willful usurpation.
AS outlined in my address to the poo-
pie have taken oath of office and been
sworn In as Governor de jure of this State.
LII IS the ballot which gives the right to
once under the laws of Alabama. but that
right has been suspended by false and
fraudulent election returns, and the right
TO the Office OF Governor has been prlma
facle conferred upon Colonel Oates. l
take the oath of Office simply as protest
against usurpation and fraud, and promise
l will use all legal means at my
command to set aside and hold for naught
the fraudulent election returns by which
he claims to be Governor of Alabama. II
fair and honest test law is passed by
the present General Assembly that would
settle all the trouble and be satisfactory to
the people as well as myself. If this act
| of justice Is denied us then we will make
| an appeal to the general Government. con-
fdently relying on the justice of our cause
| and believing that in the end right will
triumph and true Republican form of
government be guaranteed to our beloved
State"
Referring to bis inaugural charges Of

our State regret that such charges have

beyond a doubt that l was legally
elected by a large majority. or [

regret that there is not such one. If
there were frauds in last August's cleo
ton in some of the counties of the Black
Belt as charged by the defeated candidate,
they are of no consequence. for after
throwing out every vote to which any rea-
sonsble man could possibly object and ad-
mitting entire vote returned for my COM
petitor as legal, which l do not. my N jor-
itv would still be large"
There were not over 300 Kolbites in the
crowd and no signs of arms among them.
They dispersed, but proceeded downtown,
where they enlisted in Cron's company,
although the latter has no plan of action.

out complaint. The convention selected
Mr.. Samuel d. Plummer, one of the pres
emit deputy sheriffs. whose duties have
been confined to the civil business of the
office, and who is entirely disconnected
from the branch of the Office whose duty
it is to enforce the liquor law. Mr..
Plummer is resident of Scarboro, and
his strongest and most enthusiastic sup
port came from the town where he is
best known. He is a gentleman of I'M
blemished reputation anduhighscharacter,
and his career has been most honora-
BILE one. He is,a gentleman of indepen-
dence, firmness and decision, and thor
ough honesty of purpose. He knows
the right. and has the courage and self
assertiveness to enable him to pursue it.
Three of the nominees for Senator's
Messrs. George NJ. Soldiers. G. M. Water
house and William NJ. Cook-have al
ready served the county in the Senate,
and were entitled to denomination by
usage, as well as by honorable and valu-
able service. Mr.. Levi C. Morrill, of
Gray, who was nominated for Senator
from the eastern district, is "a veteran of
the war, stands high among his towns
men, and will undoubtedly represent the
county with credit. For Clerk of Courts
and County Treasurer, the convention
selected the present incum bents, Mr..
B.C.S Stone and Mr.. D. D. Chenery, both
of whom have commended themselves to
the people of the county by long and
honorable service. Mr. Charles A. True
was renominated by reclamation, to the
position of County Attorney, which he
has filled for the past two years with
signal ability and distinction. For
County Commissioner the convention
selected Mr.. NH. Seavey of Harrison,
who is vouched for by his townsmen
and the people of the northern part
of the county as thoroughly fitted to ad-
minister the important duties of that
office. Mr.. G. Fred Murch. who was nom
mated for Register of Deeds, is we'll
known throughout the county, and his
selection was suitable in every way.
The resolutions of the convention voice
in strong language the demand of the
Repu blicans of the county for careful,
prudent and upright administration of
the affairs of the county, and for a Wig
orous impartial and fearless execution
of all the laws

THE COUNTY CoNyENTIoN.

The Repu blican 8 County Convention
which met in the City Hall yesterday
was made up of many of the most
prominent and representative Republi-
cans of the cities and towns of the
county. The caucuses, by reason of
the interest which attached to the Sc
lection of candidates, had chosen conspic-
uously fit men to voice their sentimen is
and to determine the nominees for the
various county offices that were to be
filled. That the proceedings of such a
body should be marked with great earn
estness, and at the same time with strict
decorum, was to be expected, yet the clear
headedness and urbanity of the chair
man, Mr.. Levi Turner, contri buted much
to the orderly and methodicai procedure
of the convention. Mr.. Turner's opening
speech was model, of the right length,
and dealing in a crisp and effective way
with the prominent political questions
of the day.
The nominating speeches were far supe-
rior to speeches generallYheard on such oc-
casions, because men accustomed to pub
speaking, of whom the convention con-
tanned many, had beer selected to make
them. No candidate suffered from fail
ure on the part of his advocate to skill
fully and effectively present his claims
Of course the interest conferred in the
contest for Sheriff, which had been
waged in the caucuses with great earn
estness and not entirely perhaps without
some acerbity. 1t is to the credit of all
the candidates and the men who repre-
sented them in the convention that
while they brought there all the earnest
ness that had marked the contest in the
preliminary caucuses, they brought none
of the bitterness that had marked some
of these meetings They came prepared
to submit their cases to the convention.

nOunced its Judgment to accept the re-
suit as loyal members of the party with

Great Destruction in the Vi
cinity Of New York on
Land and Sea.

ST. JOINS, N. F., Oct, 1O.-A north
island last night. The storm was very
severe at St Pierre, Miquelon, where
thirty lives were lost and great damage
was done. A very heavy sea was rum
ming in the harbor. All the vessels at
anchor there put out extra anchors and
took other measures to outride the gale,
but Notwithstanding this the maritime
casualties were many. Not less than
fifty vessels dragged their anchors or
parted their cables. and were
thrown upon the shores. Every
was fruitless. the gale blowing
with such tremendous fury that even
storm canvas could not be set. Some of
the doomed vessels were thrown ashore
in very exposed places. and the great
seas breaking over them soon pounded
them to pieces. No assistance could be
rendered the shipwrecked men from the
shore.
A number of them who jumped over>
board and attempted to reach the shore
by swimming. were drowned, while
others were swept into the sea by the
waves combing over their vessels and
were not seen again until their bodies
were cast up on the beach.
The wrecked vessels were part of the
fishing feet that had put in TO st.
Pierre from the banks to repair damages
they had sustained during the heavy
storm of Sept. so.
Although there were nearly three
hundred vessels at the port. not single
one of which escaped without sustain
ing some damage. Several of the fleet
