GREAT WORK IN BUTLER.

Much of the Credit for 1t Is Due Capt. J. R.
Porterfield.
Greenville, Aug. IA, 1896.
To the State Herald:
In the campaign just closed in no coun-
ty in the state were greater gains made
against bigger odds than in Butler. The
Kolb majority in 1894 of 703 was reduced
to one of only II for Goodwin. This, too,
with very few negroes voting in 1894,
while Goodwin received nearly 1000 ne
gro votes this year. Here, too. is the
home of some of the most active and in
fiuential populites in the state, t least
two of whom, Colonel Whitehead and
Judge Zell CASTOR, are not only untiring
workers, but are fully up in the ways of
politics and are fine organizers. While
great credit is due to other party work
ers, this success is very largely due to the
untiring work and able management of
the campaign in the county by Capt. j.
r. Porterfield, the chairman of the coun-
ty committee Too much praise cannot
be given to the captain for having sue
ceeded In bringing back together under
the democratic banner more than two
thirds of the white voters.

penarture From NEW york.

New York, Aug. 15-Mr and Mrs.
Bryan left New York by the 1915 Croton
local on the New York Central for r.
vington- on the Hudson, escorted by j.
Brisben Walker, whose guests they will
be until Monday, accompanied by Mr..
Sewall and a small host of newspaper
men and women.
None of the arrangements announced
yesterday had been altered. After
spending Sunday at Mr.. Walkers place
Mr.. Sewall will return to Maine and Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan will go to Red Hook for
a vacation of ten days. Their later move
ments will be governed by the plans of
the campaign committee There was lit
tie or no demonstration at the Grand
Central depot, although the hour of the
presidential candidates departure had
been widely announced. Perhaps $50
persons had gathered to see him, and
they pressed around and crowded the
entranceway. Mrs. Bryan smiled sweet
ly and Mr.. Bryan lifted his hat in re-
Spouse to a mild cheer, and then the
party hurried through the platform
gates to the train.
Before leaving Mr.. st. Johns house
Mr. Bryan had a brief talk with the re-
porters. He said he knew when he came
to New York it was to face an antagon-
istic press and he had received better
treatment than he expected. He con-
graduated himself that none of the edi-
torials published in this city had referred
to him as an anarchist when he arrived.
He knew that they had done so previous
ly and was delighted to believe that he
had at least partially eradicated that
sentiment regarding him.

FOULS WERE THICK.
Big Quarrel Among the Racing Men a Louis
yIIe-Sanger Makes Great Finish
All Over

Louisville, Aug. 15.-The last day of
the races of the League of American
Wheelmen national meet ended with
quarrel among the racing men on ac-
count of fouling. the equal of which has
not been seen on the national circuit this
year. The trouble arose in the five mile
national championship race, in which
were entered all the cracks in attend
ance at the meeting except Sanger.
Cooper started the fouling by trying to
push Bald off the pole with his hand.
Bald retaliated, and, after that example
from the leaders, nearly every man who
wanted the pole got it by pushing. Pro-
tests were entered with President Elliott
of the league by Bald against Cooper;
Cooper against Bald; Coburn against
Cooper, and Gardiner against Callahan.
The finish was: Cooper first, Webecker
of st. Paul second and Acker of Philadel-
phia third. The time was 1918 2-5. The
officials took an hour to decide the mat
ter OF the protests and the result was
that Cooper was disqualified for fouling
and the race given to Webecker, with
Aeker second and at Butler third There
is no appeal from this decision.
A heavy rainstorr prevented the run
ming of the last race on the card the
professional trial for one mile unpaced,
and that event was called off. The at
tendance today was the largest of the
meet, excursions having been run from
all points within 300 miles or LOUISVILLE
Fully 10000 people were in attendance at
the races. They saw Walter Sanger
make the best finish of his life in the
two-mile professional handicap. His
time was in one-fifth of second of the
worlds record.
There was no meeting of the racing
board today as had been expected, and
the matter of the charges against al
most all the amateurs that were entered
in the national meet races that were in
the pay of the manufacturers will be
investigated at called meeting, if at all.
The windup of the meet was held at the
league headquarters tonight, and the
greater number of the visitors will leave
the city tomorrow.

Baron Fava confers With Acting Secretary

Baron Fava Confers With Acting Secretary
Rockhill-I,eaves in Good Hunor.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Baron Fava, the
Italian ambassador, called at the state
department this morning, having come
from Bar Harbor for that purpose, and
had long interview with Acting Secre-
tary Rockhill regarding the lynching of
the three Italians in Louisiana last sat
urday night, which has led to 50 much
excitement in Italy. The ambassador had
received partial report from Consul Pa
PM at New Orleans and was able to as
sert rather rositively that the lynched
men were tia ian subjects. The state de-
partment had not yet received the state
ment of the governor of Louisiana re-
garding the affair." and Secretary Rock
hill was, therefore, not in position TO
concede that the men might not have
been naturalized, in which case Italy
could no longer take an interest in the
matter, nor could any definite assurance
be given the ambassador pending the in
vestigation, except that redress might
be confidently expected if the facts war
ranted it, as has been made in the New
Orleans and Colorado riots
Baron Fava, on leaving the depart
ment, expressed himself as confident of a.
satisfactory outcome to the affair, which,
he declared, could not be dignified by the
term incident, and that. in his opinion,
nothing was likely to disturb the very
cordial relations always existing between
this government and his own.
Baron FaVa will remain in Washing ton
until some conclusion is reached.

Pell City, Aug. I5--(SpecIal.) 1.-The popu-

ton at Coal City today for the purpose OF
electing delegates TO the congressional con-
vention, which Is to be held in Birmingham
the 3rd day of September, to nominate
candidate for congress for the Seventh dis
triet The convention was composed of their

convention unanimously Endorsed the course
pursued by Representative Howard III tho
last session of congress, and especially his
Impeachment of President Cleveland. 1t
as delegate at tho national convention,
lately held at st, Louis Mr. Spears intro
duced the following resolution, which was
enthusiastically adopted:
Resolved, That speaking for all the popu-
lists of St. Clair county we do not hesitate
to declare that the Hon. M. w, Howard Is
the choice OF our party for denomination
to represent us in The next congress of the
United States.
Hon W. s. Forman, late candidate of the
was one of the Alabama delegates in at
tendance at the national populist conven-
ton at st. Louis. introduced a resolution
which was unanimously adopted, which de-
will not support Bryan for president unless
the democrats take Sewall down, and IN
case they fail to take Sewan down the reso-
luton recommends that the peoples party
place a regular populist at the head of their
ticket.
In the humble judgment of your corre-
spondent the populsts of this and adjoining
counties are further away from any CO.
operation with the democrats than they
have ever been

democratic votes In this neck of the woods,

A GOOD CAMPAIGN STORY.
A Bank Clock Stops With the Hands at l6
to | on the Night ofBryan's
Notification.

A gentleman who has been visiting in
east Alabama during the past week relates
the following remarlSa ole story:
On the night of August u, when Mr.. Bry-
an was notified of his nomination for the
presidency the clock in goldbug bank
stopped, and it was noticed the following
morning that the hour hand stood at and
the minute hand sixteen minutes past !, and
dial, stood still at H.
This 16 to clock act is said to be playing
sad havoc with the nerves of the bank
officials, and their discussions now are con-
fined mainly to the Scriptures and not an
opportunity is allowed to pass when they
can chip in a. small amount to the churches
irrespective of denomination.
The truth of the story Is vouched for by
reliable citizens, and the officials them
selves will not deny it.
