 MT. c. H. Parker of Cullman, represents ing the Democratic club of Cullnan, stated that Mir. Brown would not return to the meeting of the committed. ok
 Thereupon Mir. G. H. Pa rker offered to file with the committee, in behafof the u porting to contain some charges and speci- fications against Hon. w. H. Denson, the democratic nominee for congress,
 These charges were then read by Hon. W. H. Denson, who was present, who de. nied them in toto, and demanded proof.

 s;aIn the absence of MT. Taubeneck's re- quest or assent to my exposing for your in spectlon letters over his sig gnature addressed to me, must respectfully decline your re- quest s-s You cannot fail to recall that upon your return to,Alabama during the recent state campaign made several fruitless efforts to obtain an interview with you, for the pur- Captain Kolb. Your failure to confer with me on this line placed me where could not enter into any confidential political rela- tions with you.
 Having been advised by MT. Taubeneck that several mem ber5 of the Alabama deie- gation would under certain conditions SUD- port the Jeffersonion ticket, I naturally had the matter under consideration. This report from MT. Taubeneck, coupled with the further statement from him own campaign in Alabama and had been aided by the bimetallic league to advocate the free coinage of sil. syer and antagonize the Cleveland adminis- tration. presume that you would have the political foresight to see that this could be accomplished only by supporting the Jeffersonian ticket.
 In addition to the foregoing reference to my cores espondence with MT. Taubeneck, to which 1 have heretofore referred in public way, shall in this connection the Bemetalic league to Q advocate the free coinage of silver as reported to me oy MT. Taubeneck was the basis for my statement that you should have supported Captain Kolb. have never stated that 1 knew of any promise or pledge you made to support Captain Kolb. Very respect fully, W, H, SKAGGs. 2. MT. z. T. Lawrence offered the following resolutions:
