 men answered nc to the call for the negs- tive vote.
 The ssnatoS was conducted into the as- | sembly room and bis presence was greeted with tremendous applause. He expressed bis gratitude for his fourth nomination to the senate at the hands of the democrats of Alabama moet cordially and most grace fully. For an hour be preached democracy as sw beside this Qraac old apostle can. He explained that the recent dem-
 ocratic losses wefe due to apathy
 rather than to any change of believed, he said, tha, In 1898 the people |, being by this ttule able to appreciate the | blessings of the dsnaocratic tariff, would fall into line as they did two years ago, and elect the foremost of western democrats (meaning Adlai stevenson)eto the presi- dency of the union. The president ex- plained that it was but natural that the democrats should differ materially on the l principles of their party to federal matters, 1 for they had been out of power since the l days of Buchanan. He said he and Mir. Cleveland differed, but that each believed his policy to be best, aud each knew the other was honsst and patriotic in his opinion. He implorod harmony in the ranks of democracy and begged that diff fercn nces be reconciled.
 The senator said he would ever contend for tho fres coinage of silver; that bimet- allism had been a cardinal doctrine of the democratic party when he was first taught 1 democracy and had been ever since. The senator belittted the idea of dual 1 government h Alabama and told of the rapid progress of the Jeffersonian democ- l tonight at peace with all men, and had nothing but kind things to say even of his l enemies.
 Col. Warren s. Reese, Sr., was nominated for the senate by tho 1 populists over 8. M. Adams by vote of 1 31 to 16. The populst caucus passed reso 1 lutions calling on congress to establish a republican form of government in Ala bama, and appointed representative in each county in Alabama to secure evidence l of fraud in the August election.
 Colonel Reese will get forty four votes to | Morgan 8 eighty nine in the joint election, l but he says be will contest for the seat on l the ground that fraud was employed h the l state election in the black belt counties, 1 and that of the members entitled to seats he received a majority. Senator Morgsn's | friends, however, are not the least bio anxious on this proposition.
 l ~GADaDEN's NEW SOLICITOR. Herbert T. Davis was nominated by the democratic caucus tonight for solicitor of the Gadsden city court over Benjamin Pope, the present solicitor. MT. Davis is 1 a fine young attorney and his friends are greatly overioYed at bis election.
