The Livingston Team Lost-F'ree Silverites
 Are Few and Far Between.
 Greensboro, Sept. 6.-(Special Core spondence.)-The Livingston baseball club came over yesterday morning for Ia series of three games with the Greens boro club to settle the championship of west Alabama. The first game was played yesterday afternoon and proved a complete farce, as the Livingstons were clearly outclassed. Roberts for the home team struck out eighteen of their men in the eight innings that were played. The score resulted: Greensboro, IA; Livingston. 1. The second game will be played this afternoon and the visitors are sure of winning-so they say.

 The letter written from this place un- der recent date to the Birmingham State has been the cause of some little amusement among those who know the true situation here in Hale on the finan- cial question. The assertion that eff an election were held now in Hale county upon the currency question the county would go two-thirds for silver" is too ridiculous to have emanated from one who writes seriously upon the situation. The statement that the convention. should one be held, would stand some thing over 50 for gold and more than 70 for silver is truly surprising and evil dences very poor judgment on the part of the writer. There are both silver and gold democrats in Hale county, and there
 
 yer men in Greensboro the proportion being about six staunch sound money democrats to each silver man. The truth of the matter is. you would have to walk a considerable distance over the town to find those 16 to 1 fellows. It is as near certain as any future event can be called certain that every precinct south of and including Greensboro would give large majorities for sound money. In these beats majority of the white dem- ocrats of the county reside, and in the convention they cast 63 votes, or with in two votes of an entire majority of the convention as fixed by the party law. The correspondent admitted that Ha- vana, which is the largest democratic beat north of Greensboro. was very close. This was a wonderful admission for a silverloon, but the truth is. when an election is held 1t will be found that majority, a good majority. of the dem ocratic voters are for sound money. This would give more votes to the sound money column, making the convention stand: For sound money, 70; for 16 to 1, 59. As to fifteen of those f1fty-nine vot- CTS the writer desires to say-and possi- ply the correspondent of the State is really ignorant of the fact-that they are apportioned to two beats in the
