Still Without a Democratic Con
 gressional Nominee.
ANOTHER CONVENTION
Ordered by the State Executive Committee-The Denson
 Matter Deferred.

MONTGOMERY, Oct. 12.--[Special. The tussle before the state executive commit tee of the asprants for congress from the Fourth district resulted in a dog fall.
 After two days spent in close investiga- tio, s and consideration the committee pro- nounced the recent primary in the Fourth void, for the reason that it had been im- properly called, and instructed the chair man of the district executive committee to reassemble on next Monday in Anniston the convention which met in Anniston on September 8 and nominated MT. Wood, for the purpose of choosing another stand ard bearer for the district.
 1t will be remembered that when Mir. Wood retired the district executive com mittee ordered primary to be held to se- lect his successor to the democratic noml- nation. The official returns showed MT. Plowman, the Talladega banker, to have been selected as the nominee. Friends of Messrs. Caldwell and Robbins protested, and alleged that frauds were perpetrated in Talladega county, and hypothecated their charge on the fact of the extraordinary large and increased vote there. Mir. Flow man promptly referred the matter to the state committee.
 It will be observed that the committee cancels the primary not on account of the frauds alleged, but on account of the call for the primary not having been issued In accordance with party law and custom. It has been invariably held by the state con- mttee that a district committee can only call a convention, and a convention or county in it's sovereign right IS authorized to call primary. The resolutions which settled the matter prevailed unanimously.
 The three gentlemen will remain in the race before the convention, it is stated ,and a dark horse IS spoken of.
 The Denson matter did not come before the convention. The Cullman club filed its charges of disloyalty and proposed to sub- init their hearing to the committee as con- stituted, but after two hours discussion the committee determined that as MT. Denson was not present 1t could not, therefore, consent to q hearing: In the ab- sence of quorum it was thought best not to have any hearing of the matter. The effect of this is tlat the matter is still pend- ing before the committee, and in order to gets a hearing another meeting must be called and quorum gotten together.
 Colonel Denson has never received any notification that the committee would try his case, for the reason that he has been absent from his office making speeches In the swestern part of his district thence his absence at this time.
 The state committee adjourned tonight sine die. The democratic nominee, who- ever he may be, will have an exceedingly short time to work in, as the election is only about three weeks off. In the mean time the republican nominee, Aldrich, is hustling.
 The most agreeable feature of the Fourth district contest is that the very best of feel ing and good fellowship prevailed among tho candidates and their supporters during the trial before the committee. Not man lost his temper, and it is certain that who.- ever the nominee is he will have the united and cordial 8 upport of all his opponents.
 The most eminent scientists, including United States govern ment chemists, have united in indorsement of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder.
