Points of Governor-Elect Johnston's Speech-A Conviction and an
 Acquittal


 Guntersville, Oct. 27.-(Special Corre- spondence )-Gov.- Elect Joseph F. John ston spoke to a large audience in the court house here Saturday The audito- rum was filled to overflowing, and the governor was well received. He compli- mented Marshall county on its resources and progress, and rendered his thanks to the people for the generous support they had always given him. He said that as the question of frauds had been recently settled by a majority of several thousand in the white counties, leaving no material state issues, 1t only remained for the vo- ters to unite on the Bryan and SeWall Ticket and demonstrate by our vote in November whether this should be re- publican form of government or gov ernment by the classes, and called atten- tion to the fact that if every watson elector should be elected, he would still not have enough to entitle him to the vice presidency. He made a strong speech for Hon. w. I. Bullock, and assured the audience that MT. Bullock would be found in Washington always ready to attend to the business of the people, and not in At Iantic City studying elocution and pre- pairing lecture on Macbeth He also suggested, in reference to the statement that our honorable representative @ was there sick three or four months, that it would be wise and humane to send him to some sanitarium to recuperate. He never left the boltocrats unnoticed, but exposed their hand on fair deal.
 Governor Johnston spoke for two hours. making the most impressive speech he has ever made in this county, and was vigorously cheered.
 Circuit court closed here today. Hon. w. w. Haralson presided as special judge. The members of the bar and peo- pie commend him highly for the success ful and speedy manner in which he dis patched the business of the court. Judge Haralson has many warm friends in this county, who look forward with interest to his success.
 William Bell was tried in the circuit court last week for the killing of James Childress and was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to inl- prsonment in the penitentiary for ten years.

 Decatur, Oct 27.-(Special Correspond nce.)-Decatur and New Decatur have been on a political boom for the past fort night. Club meetings and speech-making seem to be the order of the day.
 Bryan and Wheeler club was organ ized with 300 members here Saturday night. It met again last night, when A. o. Lane of Birmingham was present and made one of his telling speeches to the delight of all present.
 Judge Wood and Judge Richardson will speak here one night this week to the club, when, instead of having 300, we hope to have 600 members enrolled.
 The bottom seems to have fallen out of the goldbug campaign hereabouts, and as the day of election approaches the lines are frightened closer and closer be- tween Bryan and Mckinley, and DO one except he be blinded with prejudice, will throw away his vote by casting 1t for Palmer the decoy duck; and on the ides of November it will simply be Mckinley and Bryan, Wheeler and Hundley. Palm CT and Callahan are not in it, and ought mot to be, as they stand before the people as bolters and political traitors.
 Bishop Grandbury of the Methodist church, south, will be in Decatur next Sunday, and fill pr. Vests pulpit morn ing and evening.
 The missionary woman, Mrs Camp bell, has come and gone. She spoke to a large audience a Dr. Vests church last week, making what was considered by a great many a very strong argument in favor of missions. In the opinion of some 1t was the strongest address ever deliV- cred in this town by woman.

They fear to be brought out in their true colors. Mr. Clark, as we'll as Colonel Her. bert, refused to meet our Jess. No gold standard man will tackle him.

Australian Ballot Lost.
The House Welded to the old
Eight.box Law.

Columbia, Feb, 18.-Most of the
day was spent in the consideration of
the election bills that have been proposed
for adoption AS was expected the
eight-box law focnd favor 10 the House.
Mr.. Manning made splendid presenta.
tion of bis Australian ballot system
aud the necessities for its adoption, but
the sentiment of the House seemed to
be that the time and education Of the
white voters were not yet ready for a
change of this character. The mem
bers were pleased with the line and
force of the argument, but did not want
change at this time. Mr.. Weston on
the general subject of open and honest
and fair elections, aud the justification
of the past election laws and their oper
alton. made a capital and forcible
speech.
The eight-box law as proposed is
substantially the same as that now in
operation, with such changes as are
uecessitated By the new Constitution.
The first work of the day was to try
aud settle the school tax differences that
were brought about by the changing Of
the Berkeley County line. A bill was
passed, the best that the Charleston
delegation could get and which will to
considerable extent relieve the sit
uation. Mr.. Bacot's bill was amended
by Mr.. Harvey, of Berkeley, as to the
adjustment of back claims by sort Of
board of arbitration. and it is hoped
that the plan will work out satisfactorily
