SUPPORT MKrNI.EY.

SUPPORT MKINI.EY.
Birmingham, Ala. July 2S (SpeciaD.-Anticipating
the action OF the st. Louis Popuist Convention the
Alabama sound-rnoney Democrats and Republican
leaders have held conferences looking 70 the re-
novai Of the two negroes on the Alabama Repub-
lean electoral ticket in order that the former might
support Mckinley without local embarrassment
Since the action Of the Popust Convention In
dors.ng Bryan the sound-money Democrats have
become still more dissatisfied with their party's
ticket, and the effort to get the Mckinley electoral
ticket all white has increased. 1t is given out by
good authority that the action OF the Georgia Re-
publicans will be repeated in Alabama, and that
the two negroes will give their places 10 white
men. It is known that the negroes themselves,
realizing the extent Of local feeling, will make no
objection. and II is believed that Chairman Hanna
Will make the request for them to do So which Will
be sufficient This done. and the State campaign
over which will be by August 3. sound money Dem
orrats will at once organize all the State and
declare themselves for Mckinley, without embar
rassment among their neighbors and former party
associates because they will have supported the
State Democratic ticket and cannot be charged
with working against white supremacy by the
'Black- Belt Democrats. Sound-money Democrats
are especially anxious for this condition they
realize that voting for third ticket in Alabama
would simply be throwing their votes away.

SOCIAL REMEDIES.

Rev. w. B. Matteson brought to close
last Sunday evening, at the Armory, his
series of illustrated discourses on "The
Religious Problem of the Great Cities"
Mr.. Matteson treated the particular prob
lem of the cities as but part of the gen.
eral problem of social discomfort. Mr.
Matteson said in substances:
We have seen something of the evil.
breeding conditions of life that are found
in our great cities. Our consideration
this evening concerns itself with the pos
sible helps and remedies.
Such conditions could not long exist
without attracting the attention Of Chris
tian people; and the attention of Chris
tian people could not be drawn to such
conditions without provoking an earnest
effort to relieve them. The aggregate OF
Christian and philanthropic efforts ex-
pended upon this problem is certainly
very large The churches located in the
tenement house districts have struggled
desperately to maintain their foothold--
hitherto without much success. Where
tenements multiply saloons abound and
churches disappear. The New York
World recently published maps of sever
al districts in New York, one OF which
