DEADLOCks BROKEN.
The Mississippi Democrats Get
Through Nominating.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. S.-When the
Democratic convention resumed this
morning Col. H. NJ. Street, of Lau-
derdale county, asked the chair to
find out if Hon. Adam Boyd, of Ne
shoba, a gold bug, was in the house;
that some Of the free silver people
had expressed longing to see a real
live gold bug. Hon. r. S. McLaurin,
OF Rankin, stated that Mr. Boyd had
escaped. The deadlock on attorney
general was broken by the withdrawal
of Mr.. Trotter's name, when his sup
porters ffocked to Nash, and when
Johnstone's friends saw the battle
was lost they withdrew his name also.
The nomination OF Wiley n. Nash for
attorney general was then made unan-

dale, was nominated for superintend-
ent of education.

VITAL QUESTIONS

Inc history of the state has furnished
so many examples showing the neces-
SHY OF some limitation of the Ciebt-con-
tractlng power of cities that the Iegis-
lature in 1893, for the first time in its
history, passed a general law limiting
the debt-contracting power to five
per cent upon assessed valuation of
All taxable property belonging to the
city, and in express terms prohibited
any city from exceeding that limit
Tor any purpose or mourning any kind
of debt whatever
Sec 2, Chap. POI. PIP 333, Laws of 1893.
Second-Do the facts disclosed show
that the 100000 reservoir bonds are an
excess of the debt limit, and therefore
void? And in considering this uues-
ton it may be subdivided as follows:
a In determining the amount of
bonded Indebtedness should the amount
represented by S7O5,000 of city bonds
and other items in the sinking fund
or any part thereof beHdeducted?
b Are the park certificates a legal
Indebtedness of the city?
c Does the amount of money used
by the court house and city hall com
mission belonging to the county in the
construction of the city hall constitute
a legal debt against the city within the
meaning of the statutory prohibition?"
The questions Judge Babcock pro-
ceeded to answer, reading from the
city charter. After a number of ques-
tons by Judge Smith, Judge Babcock
took shy at park board certificates.
Summarizing his remarks, Judge
Babcock will conclude his argument
this morning.
Deducting the net bonded Indebted
ness from the debt limit from the
debt margin leaves debt margin of
SIS, 1870.
Deducting also the cash in the sink
ins fund as we'll as the bonds it leaves

margin of 1914, 447.a4. Park certifl-

margin of s674,447s4. Park certifi-
Gates, S747, S47.
Deduct all the debt margin of 1884,
44i.SS and there is an excess of debts
above the limit of s73, 3e9. 66. Add
court house debt $4,000, and the total
amount of excess of indebtedness
above the debt limit is S323, 1856
Judge Babcock completed only half
Oh MS argument last night This morn
ing at $50 he will resume, dwelling
upon the facts as set forth above City
Attorney Simpson will follow, after
which the matter will be submitted.
The defendants in part put forth facts
to prove that the limit has not been
exceeded. Attorney Simpson will sub
nit the following table TO prove his
case:
General bonds ................S4,S0 500, COO 90
Water works bonds . .I65 900 90
Revolving fund ............... 790, 600 90

Revolving fund bonds........ 10000 90
Other bonds ................... 460, 600 %
Total ................... 5000 90
Bonds in sinking fund at
time of issuance of reSer-
,voir bonds ................... s344, 121 90
Amount of all outstanding
bonds less amount of funds

Limit of Indebtedness, per
cent of assessed valuation. 694S, 507 %
Making the debt IN round
numbers less than the
charter liability by at least 532, 900 GO
The attorney will argue that the re-
volving fund cannot be called a debt,
as it is only created for the purpose
of spreading assessments over a period
of years, and is not a liability in fact,
as the property assessed is virtually
security, and that the lien thereon is
an asset. The water works bonds it
is also claimed, are not debt, for the
reason that they are given in payment
for an actual plant, worth much more
than the debt, and therefore there are
assts direct to more than Offset.
