The state democratic convention OF Ala

Oates, Congressman from the third district,
for governor of Alabama The only other
contestant for the honor was Joseph F.
Johnston of Birmingham Oates was nomi-
rated on the first ballot, the vote standing
271 to 2Ss.
The canvass for the nomination has been
warm one. Both men were strong Oates
iEdorsed the national administration. John
sion rather challenged 1T. This was really
the issue In the campaign.
In the primary elections on May u John

vote, but on account Of the geographical
Oates received majority Of the delegates
to the county conventions. and consequently
| to the state convention.
Johnston fought TO the last Two coun-
ties presented contested delegations ana
Johnston's friends claim he should have
been given both, but the executive COM

ston one and Oates the other.
Oates friends captured the convention
and put Congressman Clark OF Mobile In
the chair, who named the committees
After the report Of the committee on the
order of business had been received, the

The convention then adjourned until this

available man with " HON TO defeat Can't
r. F. Kolb the nominee of the Jefferson
ians or disaffected democrats. the republi-
cans and populists. 8
The Kolb men are delighted. They claim
| they will now have a walkover in the Au-
| gust election. Capt. Kolb says that IN
| the last campaign he was robbed OF the
nomination by fraudulent counting and by
ballot box stufiing, but that this time he
had the officials Of more than half the coun-
| ties in the state on his side and can dictate
| fairness.
The campaign between Kolb and Oates
will be a hot one. Both are hard fighters
and their forces are well matched

BY this statement 1t will be seen that
while the total deaths fiuctuated from
year to year there was yet a swelling tide
that shows a steady increasing mortality
in that section, keeping apace with the
very rapid growth in population, If not sur
passing il in some degree.
The following tabular statement showing
the number of deaths within the same
territory from consumption and zymotic
diseases illustrates how constitutional
disease like consumption, not being closely
subject to miasmatic influences. has not
increased in that section within the last
twelve years. while the diseases which are
most prevalent in malarial regions have
increased in the same time:

An examination or these statements Will
show that there has been a gradual i'm
provement in the mortality from these four
diseases Although this improvement Is
not constant from year to year, but like
the ebbng tide, reaching down and then
flowing up only to recede further at the
next wave, Ii will be seen that there ba 3
been a material gain in the health condi-
tons OF al that section bordering on the
Potomac flats. BY comparing the aggre-
gates of the first six years from 1881 to
1856 inclusive, 1t appears that while there
were five hundred and eighty-two deaths
from the diseases above-named. there were
in the last six years but four hundred and
sixty-f1ve, giving decrease of one hundred
and seventeen for these four maladies
These figures have been gone into with
such detail in order to bring out the facts
that through the judicious application of
sanitary rules the health of a community
can be undoubtedly improved. 1t is, there
FORE reasonable and scientifically true to
say that with such results as have followed
from the filing up of the main Potomac
flats We can assuredly maintain that SINH
lar results will follow from the application
of the same rules to the Eastern branch
flats. And, further, IL so great a saving
of human life can be obtained by a reason
able expenditure of money and effort II be-
comes bounden duty upon and one that
cannot safely be evaded by the administra-
tive powers over the District of Columbia
to remedy the great evil, as in the present
existence of these flats, and to remove the
conditions which are so detrimental to the
growth and prosperity of the city.
Pleased with the Report.
Mr.. Tucker has acknowledged receipt of
the letter in the following:
please accept the thanks of our COM
mittee for your very elaborate report of the
effect of the fats Of the Eastern branch
upon the health of the city, with statistics
