THE CARBOHYDRATES
Of the Fourth and Ninth Districts to Hold Congressional Conven-
 tions-Slates Prepared.

The republicans, populites and Jeffer- sonians will hold their congressional con- vention for the Ninth district at Blocton on September IA to name candidate for congress in this district.
 In this convention Jefferson county will have twenty delegates and the other four counties ten each.
 MT. T. H. Aldrich will receive the nomi- nation if he will accept it, and if he de- clines either Dr. Moseley or MT. Vaughan will have the honor of leading the con- glomerates to defeat. If Mr. Aldrich will accept neither MT. Vaughan nor Dr. Nose ley will oppose him.
 FOR THE FOURTH.
 The conglomerates of the Fourth will hold their congressional convention st Calera Wednesday, September5. 5. Mr. w. F. Aldrich of Shelby county has already been agreed upon, and will receive the nomination without opposition.
 VAUGHAN THE MAN.
 A number of local republicans were dis cussing the political situation last night, when an AGE HERALD reporter approached them. The reporter was told that Mir. Vaughan and not MT. Aldrich would be given the nomination for congress from this district.
 "Mr. Aldrich. :" said one of the number, lis citizen of Ohio ,and has never affiliated with the republicans of Alabama, nor taken any part whatever in politics in this state. For that reason we cannot afford to nominate him for congress when we have so many hard working republicans among us who are well qualified for the place.
 "Mr. Vaughan," he continued,. "has done good work for his party in the last two campaigns. He Is bright young man and thoroughly qualified to serve us in congress. He will receive the nomina- tion and make the race for congress.

THE BRIGHTER SIDE.

It seems to be conceded by many that the large Democratic majority will be cut down in the next House. Now, where will these changes take place? Not in Alabama-we will send back solid Democratic delega- tion. The majority in the Gubernatorial election will hold good inthe Congressional election. No new issues will be intro- duced. In fact, the Gubernatorial contest was fought on national issues. The people, in the election of Oates, declared them- selves by an overwhelming majority In favor of tariff reform, law and order and tie indorsement of the administration. Since the heat of the election has died out and men can reason soberly they indorse these principles all the more earnestly. The number of "Little Willies" is grow ing less, not greater. The tide is swelling, not ebbng. Admitting that Alabama is safe to Democracy as in 1892, is there any other Southern State that will change the complexion of it's Congressional delega- tion? Hardly one. There may be Popu- list elected here and there, but no more than at the last Congressional election. Where, then, will these sweeping changes take placef In the East? Why it Is charged that the whole course of the legislation en- acted by the Democratic Congress has been in favor of the East and in line with East. ern desires.

NOT THE ISSUE.

An Anniston correspondent of the At. lanta Constitution charges the defeat of Hon. Louis W. Turpin of the Ninth Con- gressional District to his "hostile attitude towards silver,'' and puts him in the cat egory of Breckinridge of Arkaneas, Stone of Kentucky and others. The facts of the case do not warrant such a statement. Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, who Is to suc- j ceed MT. Turpin, is a most popular young man, fine lawyer, and man possessed of unusual personal magnetism. He lives in county which controls just one-half the entire strength of the Congressional con- vention. He receives the unanimous vote of Jefferson, and has the indorsement of i all Democratic voters here, whether they favor silver at ratio of 16 to 1, free and unlimited coinage, or a gold standard. the primary campaign.
 The AGE HERALD has positive assurances ] from Mir. Underwood that he is friendly to silver on an equitable baais of value; that he would have voted for a repeal of the Sherman law had he been a member of /. Congress, and would not have voted to suslai-...'ccss> Presidents veto of the seign- ,gififage bill. Mr. Turpin has a silver rec. iSa 1hlcn was bioaen vuIy by HIS voting 1 to sustain the President in his veto. His record is more pronounced in favor of sil- yer than that of Colonel Oates, MT. Clarke and other Alabama Congressmen whose names might be mentioned and who have been indorsed by the people.
 MT. Underwood indorses the administra- tion of President Cleveland. Likewise does MT. Turpin. Though both may differ with him in minor details.
 What is the Constitution and it's Annis. ton correspondent going to say about the campaign in the Sixth Distrct7 MT. Bankhead has been an active, uncompro- missing friend of silver from the beginning of the fight, yet his district is greatly di- vided, aud there is no certainty about his nomination. The Sumter county conven- tion resolved ''that the patriotism and fidelity to the principles of the Democratic party exhibited by President Cleveland command our admiration; and we unqual- ifedly indorse his administration, ,' and sends solid delegation to the convention opposed to MT. Bankhead, or in favor of Mir. Chapman.
 We do not present these facts to show op- position to silver in Alabama. There is none. Our people are bimetallist, desiring sound currency, q good deal of it and par- ity between the two metals.
 MT. Turpin's defeat Is easily attributed to two plain, unvarnished facts: First, the attempt on the part of an executive committee friendly to his candidacy to re- apportion the strength of counties to suit Mir. Turpin's convenience. Second, the justice of Jefferson county's claim, that in view of the fact che has more population and wealth than all the other counties in the district combined, and that she has had no Representative in Congress since 1882, she was entitled to the choice. E
 There is no silver and anti-silver fight over here. Democrats are Democrats in Alabama, and they are only for war against the common enemy.

ON next Tuesday the Democratic candidates for Congress in the different districts will be named. Then the canvass will be opened in earnest all along the line. The record must not be broken and Alabama should have a solid Democratic delegation in the next Con- gress, and she wiil-Alabama Enquirer.
 The above sentiment from the pen of J. Asa Rountree, one of Alabama's ablest young newspaper men, is worthy of more than passing note. That Alabama should send up solid Democratic delegation Is a foregone conclusion, inasmuch as her un- broken record for years past has it's rightful place in the political history of the United States, and at this day Alabamians cannot afford to allcw this honored precedent to be broken.

PEOPLE are governed by their precon- ceived opinions. They take up a notion that a thing is going to turn out certain way, and after 1t has taken place they still contend 1t turned out the way they thought it would, although it may have turned out just the opposite. Governor Tillm&n of South Carolina came down to the reunion in May and took up notion that there would be fraud practiced in the Alabama election, and now he insinuates that there was fraud, although the very reverse is true. He Is certainly laboring under this hallucination, for he declares that "there will be no Alabama business in South Carolina in November.'' He seems to have great horror of the "Alabama bus- iness," which is not horrible thing at all. No doubt Kolb is just like Tillmau. He took up notion several months before the election that there would be fraud practiced. and after the election he imag- ined that his predictions had been verified. He now f1atters himself that he was prophet. If it had turned out differently he would have been very much disap- pointed and would Nave been very un. happy.

Richard Burgess was yesterday arrested

complainant in the case is John S. Parker,
a brother-in-law. 1t appears that on a GER
tain day in May, Burgess visited his rela-
tive by marriage while in an intoxicated
condition. His condition made him unwel-
come. and he was told SO. Then there was
a burst of wrath, followed by an assault
Parker finally succeeded in putting his
wifes sisters husband out of doors ard
barring his entrance. Burgess secured q
Ratchet from neighboring wood pile and
began an assault upon the door. Continued
strokes worked havoc. A warrant was then
sworn out by Parker. Burgess, however
kept out of the officers domain by going
outside CT the District. As soon as he re-
turned he was caught. The house in which
Parker resided at the time of the assault
on himself and door was in the rear of the
