REJECTED
Was the Decision of the Striking Min- ers' Convention Yesterday as
 to the Proposition.

The proposition of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company made to the striking miners, full statement of which was made in the HERALD yesterday morning, was rejected by the conventio which assembled to consider it yesterday in this city.
 Last night an AGE HERALD reporter called to see Mir. Frank Fouruier at his headquarters, and when asked concerning the decision of the convention regarding the proposition made by the company he said:
 i've have had hard day over this and much to battle with. The proposition made by the company has been rejected. the decision being reached about o'clock. The reason of the rejection was that the proposition was not sufficient. '
 ''Are you going to do anything else7" asked the reporter.
 'eYes. We are working on a proposi- tion to submit to the company, but that will not be given out uptil tomorrow. The miners do not seem satisfied unless they get 46 cents.''

THE County Democratic Executive Com E1ittee makes call through the AaE- HER. AID this morning for a convention 10 assemble on the 18th instant to select dee- gates from Jefferson to the Ninth Congress sional District Convention. There seems to be only two candidates in the field up to this date-Hon. l.. W. Turpin, our present Representative, and that sterling young Democrat, Oscar w. Underwood, of this county. The fact that MT. Turpin is now serving his first term and has many friends in this county, and that MT. Underwood is
 ne of our most popular, able and deserv- ing Democrats, is going to make the pri- mary race in the whole district @ lively and interesting one, from present indications. The plan for selecting delegates is fully set forth in the call of the committee

Washington as a Broad Jumper.

It is said that George Washington once cleared 22 feet 3 inches in the running broad jump. There is such haze sur rounding the event that it is not at all certain when and where the Father of His Country performed the feat. Thackeray refers to it in "The Virginians, where he tells of the jumping match between Harry Warrington and Lord March and Ruglen. Harry wins with a jump of 21 feet inches against his lordship's IS feet inches. In his letter to Virginia Harry says he knew there was another in Virgin ia, Colonel 6. Washington, who could clear a foot more.
 If Thackeray figures arc correct, Wash ington must have been a wonderful ath- lete. He could easily have won any in tercollegiate championship competition up to 1889 and most of the national cham pionships Then, too, it must be remem- bered that the future Father of His Coun- try did not wear spiked shoes, like the ath- letes of today, nor did he have cinder path for his run" nor 5 inch plank for his take off. those improvements not having como into general use as early as the middle of the eighteenth century Washington today would be record break CT. The worlds broad jump record is help by C.. B. Fry of Oxford and C. S. Reber of the Detroit Athletic club. Both men have cleared 23 feet 6k inches.

WILL HEAD THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET OF
 THE LONE STAR STATE.
 DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 8.-The demoe ratio state convention, which meets here next Tuesday, will be attended by more people than ever assembled upon similar occa- sion. There is no denying the fact the party is split in two upon the silver ques- tion. In the convention the great fight will be made upon that issue. Culberson will get nearly majority upon the first ballot for governor. Judge Reagan will come second, but will never be nominate Lanham will muster a respectable minority. The hope of Culborson is that Lanham's vote will go over to him when it is found impossible to nominate it's man. Chiffon will be indorsed to succeed Coke in the United States senate. Cleveland will be indorsed generally and possibly upon his silver ideas by close vote. Farmer Shaw said today:
 "There is 8 great fight ahead. It will take fully week to organize the conven- tion, and the devil's own time will be had when it comes to constructing the plat form. But the boys from the forks of the creek will be here, and while there is going to be fight and the fur is going to fly, forks are going to come out on top. The old opposition will kick and fight, but it will not bolt. It las enough of that sort of thing.o
 The following is the vote for each guber- material candidate up to date, and also the instructed and unheard from vote:
 Culberson 322, Reagan 196, Lanham 143, Mccall 55, Ross 2, uninstructed 127, yet to hear from IA.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Again the AGE HERALD congratulates the people of Alabama upon the great vic- tory won for them by the Democracy of this State, and in the name of this Democ- racy we raise the flag of peace, ground arms, and extend hand to all who have opposed the victorious party of law and order, inviting them to return to our ranks and again enlist for the welfare of their State.
 The AGE HERALD feels that it's part of the work just accomplished is appreciated by all Alabamians. Earnestly espousing the cause of the people, it has sought to deal squarely with all classes. Early in the campaign it declared in favor of an honest ballot. In behalf of the poor and the ignorant, and for the future strength and glory of Alabama's citizenship, it labored unceasingy for the passage of the school amendment. Appreciating the high importance of preservation of pub lie credit it urged with all it's power the adoption of the Birmingham tax amend ment. As the smokB of battle clears away / the AaE- HERALD has nothing to regret over it's campaign policy, but enjoys the conscientious conviction that every measure it advocated, every line which it has published emanating from it's editorial staff, has been for the good of people who are not slow to record their appreciation of services well performed.

PERSONAL AND PROPERTY RIGHTS.
 The man wh o in this age of enlighten- ment and freedom declares that working men have DO rights as individuals to organ ize and cease from labor for an individual or corporation, is, as the slang of the day goes, "talking through his hat;o and the individual who questions the right of cor porations or individuals to say what they will or will not pay for labor, is no less a fool.
 This is speaking from legal standpoint, upon which is 10 be based all earthly set dement's between man and man. h our recent local troubles, and in discussing the great Pullman strike, the AGE-HERALD has never questioned any mans right to "strike'' against low wages or an apparent injustice on the part of operators. No matter to what extent we may have ques- tioned such policy on the part of laborers looking to their own welfare, we did not question their ''rights'' in the premises. Nor yet have we brought into question the right of Mir. Pullman or the coal operators to fix a scale they were willing to pay, or to adopt any just rule for the manag of their own affairs. If we had been en- gsged in the moralizing business, we may have deprecated the apparent wrongs in- ficted upon innocent women and children by cessation of labor by fathers and hus- bands; and further, we may have preached to operators from the text, ''the laborer is worthy of his hire,' and called their attention to the scriptural warn- ing against depressing the hireiing." We may have called attention to failure on the part of the public to fully under- stand how the Pullman company could, with clear conscience, continue to charge high rates for passage on it's palace cars, continue to charge high rents for water and shelter to it's employees, and in sight of God and man reduce wages of the toilers who have made them rich to almost star Vation point. But the rights of all these were not to be questioned. They are guar anteed by the laws of the land. They are vouchsafed to every American freeman. Let capital reduce wages let laborers cease work; but thus far and no further, says the law; and upon this line all must stand.
 When men, maddened by what they deem oppression, become so desperate as to at- tempt to regulate the business affairs of others, to say who shall and who shall not work; when they go 50 far as to destroy property and lives, then should come the protests of the press and public and the strong arm of the law to estop and cut down the offender.
 This has been the AaE-HERALD's 's posi- Iiop from beginning to end of the conflict, and now that peace and order are about to be restored it desires to thus reiterate.

worth our while to analyze the returns with view of emphasizing the fair and square nature of the captains overthrow on Monday last.
 Captain Kolb claims to have been elected by 1000 majority. This means that the Democrats stole 5000 of his votes and then stuffed in 25, ,0OO to make up their majority. h other words, Captain Kolb charges fraud to the extent of 4,000 votes. That is 5000 mere than the aggregate ma jorities in Dallas, Hale, Lowndes, Macon, Madison, Mareng o, Montgomery, Wilcox, Barbour and Bullock. So that if every vote of the majorities in those Black Belt counties were fraudulent, it would not equal the amount of fraud involved in the captain 8 claim.
 But Captain Kolb always makes his figures ou the white counties as against the black counties.
 Ia 1892 the Democrats carried twenty-six counties and Captain Kolb forty. Of the twenty-six there were thirteen of what are known as the Black Belt counties, and thirteen white. Of Captain Kolb's forty counties two were Black Belt counties and thirty-eight white.
 In 1894 the Democrats carried thirty one counties, fourteen Black Bolt and ssven- teen white, gain of one black and four white. Captain Kolb lost one black and four white. So far as the counties are con- cerned. therefore, the Democrats made distinct and emphatic gain in the white.
 
 Now as to majorities. Leaving Jefferson out of the count as being too closeto make any difference one way or the other, Cap tain Kolb received majorities in his thirty th rea white cnun ties aa follnws.

The Democrats made gains in the white

Thus we see that Captain Kolb made gains of S061 in fifteen white counties.
 The Democrats mado gains of 15, TIT votes in thirty two white counties, having gained in two more than twice as many as' Captain Kolb. The Democrats net gain in the white counties was 7716.
 So the Democrats gained 2312 more in the white counties than they did in the Black Belt. And there is this striking dif- ference! Captain Kolb's gain in the white counties was in negro votes, Talladega being striking illustration, while the Democratic gains were of whites.
 We have gone thus elaborately into this analysis, not to prove Colonel Oates title clear, for it needs no proof, but to show in clear manner to the voters of the Kolb party how plainly the facts are all against the declaration of Captain Kolb that he was counted out, and how; foolish it would be for them to allow the leaders to provoke them into any sort of folly. The figures prove beyond all peradventure that even if the charges of fraud made by the lead CTS were true, yet the honest, square, overwhelming majority, and white ma iority at that, is with Colonel Oates. The convincing proof to the most prejudiced Kolb man lies in the fnct that Colonel Oates is elected without single negro vote from the Black Belt. So accept the result grace fully aud let's to work.
