There, are republican voters, vote-getters and vote-controllers, be 1t remembered, who are very widely eS- teemed-regarded with distinguished con- sidera tion. indeed, as far away as New York '-''.
 Only yesterday morning two Well-fed, well-groomed gentlemen of middle age were enhancing the varied beauties of the political bouquet that is wont to adorn lobbies Of Hotel Morris. Before noon they took their departure, but not until they had. impressed themselves deeply and most Interestingly upon not a few of Birmingham's republican lumi- naries. The visitors were from New York. They were big guns, too They were Cornelius Van Colt, ex-postmaster of New York city, and Dr. J. H. Dorn, shrewd republican politician, and both trusted friends of New Yorks multi millionaire. governor, Hon. Levi P. Nor ton. They came here to sound the situa- tion as to the chances of their distin- guished friend to get the Alabama dele gation to the republican national con Vention, which meets June Is at St. Louis.
 The visitors met many of the republi- cans of the city and there was occasional dining and, high feeding among them, and from all accounts a lavish and princely disbursement of money, by way of doing the agreeable, the conduct of the various entertainments tending to impress upon the receptive minds of all concerned that there was plenty of the same kind of harmoniZer where the specimen sent to Birmingham came frons

 But lol Ask republicans now. whose faces illuminate the-eorridors of the Mor- ris and elsewhere that they gather-to discuss the influences to be brought1 to bear, and you will hear Morton's name enunciated with the g-insistence of confidence and determination combined
 An active republican said to State Herald reporter last night: Who? Nor, ton? You are very much mistaken 1T you think he has no strength in Alabama-g 4 tell you he is strong. The people Ike him. It's going to be Reed or Norton and either will suit me. Yes; and he's got the money, too.' ~ -, =
