The other members of the delegation
were largely chosen because they had not
been honored before.
In proportion to their numbers the sill
yer men we're most loyal to their con-
gressional representatives.. Eleven sena-
tors will be delegates to the convention.
They are Teller, of Colorado; Gear, of
Iowa; Lodge, of Massachusetts,; Mantle
and Carter, of Montana; Sewell, of New
Jersey; Pritchard, of North Carolina;
Quay, of Pennsylvania; Pettigrew, of
South Dakota; Proctor, of Vermont, and
Dubois, of Idaho. OF these Teller, Du-
bois, Carter, Mantle and Pettigrew are
pronounced silver men.
Senator Pettigrew, however, is IN a
rather embarrassing position. He went
home to capture the convention and take
his stand by Teller, Carter and Dubois on
the silver question. The "small fry" at
home rallied and carried his convention
for gold, and Pettigrew in consequence
is committed to the gold standard 80 far
as the approaching convention is con-
cerned.
Senator Proctur's name has been dis
cussed in connection with the vice -presi-
dency. The Vermont senator was turned
down by his state convention in about
the same manner as Pettigrew. He was
in with the senatorial combine which was
fighting Mckinley and announced his pur
pose before leaving Washington for Yer
mont to materially aid the lleed boom.
Vermont fell in with the Mckinley land
slide and straightway was the bottom
dropped out of the Reed boom.
Senator Gear was elected because he
was Alisons colleague. Senator Lodge,
whose name has also been suggested for
VICE president, sought an election as del
egate in order to place Reeds name be-
fore the convention. Senator Pritchard
was elected because he was the first man
to break the Democratic machine in
North Carolina.
The members of the house of Repre-
sentatises who will be delegates to the
convention are: johnson, of Alabama;
Hepburn and Henderson, of Iowa; Dr.. W.
Godfrey Hunter, of Kentucky; Hartman,
OF Montana; McEvans, of New Jersey;
Grosvenor and Wilson, of Ohio; Leisen
ring, of Pennsylvania, and Brown, of
Tennessee.

Democratic Factions in Nevada.

Reno, New, June 10.-The "straight-
out" Democrats, who claim to represent
the Nevada Democracy, met in conven-
tion to-day to elect delegates to the ma.
tional convention. The Keating wing of
the Democracy held convention at Car.
son few days ago and elected delegates.
1t is said that the Keating men made a
proposition to divide the delegation be-
tween the two factions, each to have 3,
but it is not believed that the convention
nov in session will agree to the plan.

Connecticut Democrats for Gold.

Hartford, Conn, June 1O.-The Demo-
cratic state convention to select delegates
to the national convention at Chicago
and presidential electors met here to-day.
M. B. CARR, temporary chairman, in
his speech, claimed consideration for
the independent voters, to whom sew
eral recent victories of the Democratic
party we're due. He secuted the PROPOSE.
tion to reopen the fight on the tariff is
sue and declared that the fight was now
on the currency question. He asked that
the conventions platform be made to
contain an unequivocal declaration for
the single standard and that bimetallism
in all forms be disavowed. He praised
President Cleveland and ex-Gov. Russell
as uncompromising opponents of de-
basement of our currency, whose leader
ship the Democracy could safely follow.
He hoped the convention at Chicago
would select a candidate whose lips were
not sealed on the questions of the day
and whose attitude could not be matter
of doubt.
ExGov. Waller was made permanent
chairman.
On the bject of currency the platform
says: "While we favor the most liberal
use of silver consistent with the enforce
ment of the gold standard, we are unal-
terably opposed to the free coinage of
silver, deeming it device for the de.
basement of our currency and the COM
pulsory purchase of silver by our govern
ment. Under existing circumstances,
to pay public debts in silver coin is
reputation"

Harrison, Thos l.. Waller, Jas M. Alters.

which the money declaration would be
based. He said: at Is Enthusiastically a
sound money utteranct. At the same
time it avoids all mention of the gold
standard, reference 10 which by name
would drive votes away from the ticket
IN some states"
The senator expressed the opinion that
the Indiana platform would be satisfac-
tory to all the western states except
Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho ard
Nevada and possibly Wyoming. He said,
as they have all told only ten votes in the
electoral college, the party could afford
to lose them.
MARCUS AURELIUs HANNA ARRIVES.
Marcus A. Hanna and W. A. Hahn, of
Ohio, arrived to-day. The Mckinley
headq uarters at once became busy
place. Mr.. Hanna said that the reports
received indicated that the friends of
Major Mckinley had not in the least over
estimated his popularity.
The national committee Of the Repub
lican party, which begins it's meetings to-
day for the purpose of deciding, tenta-
lively at least, the various contests for
seats IN the convention, expects to 60
very thoroughly into the merits of all the
cases presented.
The members are of the opinion that
the interests of the party will be pro-
NOTED by careful analysis of all the testi-
mGny and a decision of all cases upon
their merits regardless of personal presi-
Dental preferences or the prejudices of
the contestants upon the financial ques-
tlcn.
They hope to perform the task so thor
oughly as to leave comparatively little
for the credentials committee to do.
There is something of a contest over
the selection of temporary chairman.
The Mckinley men have decided upon G.
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, but many MEM
bers of the national committee are urg-
ing Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut.
coLoRED DELEGATES WILL BE CARED FOR.
The trouble about the colered delega-
tions seems to be settled. Chairman Car
ter has received numerous kilograms
from all over the country calling for the
removal of the convention, if the colored
men do not receive fair treatment. The
matter will be brought up in committee
to-day, and Chairman Kennard, of the
local committee, will give assurances that
the colored delegates will be taken care

Indianapolis, Ind, June 10.-Secretary
Sherrin, of the Democratic national COM
mittee, said to-day that there was only one
contest as yet before the committee.
This was from the Nebraska delegation.
Notice Of contest in Colorado had also
been received.
Sherrin says that the secretary's du-
ties in naming the roll of delegates is
only ministerial, the committee deciding
who has prima facia case.
Concerning the temporary chairman
of the convention, he said the names of
ex-Gov. Francis, of Missouri, Senator
Hill, of New York, and Hugh g. Wallace,
of Tacoma, have been suggested. The
free silver men will select the permanent
chairman.

Yet Mr.. Johnson's reconstruction pol
10y was savagely antagonized and bitterly
denounced by the Republicans in con-
gress on the assumed ground that it ig-
nored the plan of Mr.. Lincoln. This dis
agreement between congress and the ex-
ecutive led to the first abortive attempt
to impeach Mr.. johnson. Then, with the
apparent intent Of entrapping the presi-
dent into an impeachable offense, the

vent Mr.. johnson from controlling his
own cabinet
During the ensuing recess OF congress,
Mr.. johnson removed Mr.. Stanton from

THE POWOERLY DUMMY.
Confirmation of the Sale to Be Considered by Judge Boarman Today-There May
 Be Interesting Developments.

On the 22d of April the Birmingham, Powderly and Bessemer dummy line was sold by Special Master Trimble on an or der of Judge Bruce of the United States court, and bid in by B. B. Conner for $13,- 800. MT. Conner, 1t is said, was represent ing the bondholders, and his bid only covered court costs, receivers fee, coun- sel fee and taxes, nothing being left for the claim holders.
 The sale was to have been confirmed last Tuesday by Judge Boarman, sitting for Judge Bruce, in Montgomery, but a motion was made to set the sale aside on the ground that the road was worth more than the amount for which It was bought in. Col. S. w. John, representing Messrs. Adler, Chandler and Kennedy, objected to the sale, and presented cer- tified check for $17,500 for the road.
 MT. John P. Tillman, representing the purchaser, proposed to increase the price to $25,000 and Judge Boarman has in- timated that he will confirm the sale today a that price, unless the objectors show that they will give $30,O00 for the property.
 A large number of interested parties will go down to Montgomery today and the price may be increased even above $50, 900.
 The road was bonded at one time for something over $200,000.

Birmingham Surgeons to Utilize the Latest
 Discovery of Science.

The x ray is coming. Birmingham may be little tardy sometimes, but never re- mains long out of the procession.
 Drs. Copeland & Berry have secured the building formerly occupied by the Southside Savings bank. and will make menting and testing the virtue of the x rays. They will use the Tessler coil, Crooks tubes and Edison's fiuoruscope, and will obtain their electricity from the Consolidated Electric Light company.
 These gentlemen were seen by State Herald reporter yesterday, and they are very enthusia stic on the subject.
 ''One of the greatest troubles we have In surgery" remarked Dr. Copeland, lis in locating foreign substances. A pistol ball, and even a needle or pin, will change its direction after entering the flesh, and we are often forced to work by guess. With the instruments we have ordered we expect to be able to locate ball, or without removing the clothing. With the photograph before operating. You can operate directly from the light, noting the effect of your work as you proceed. l have much faith in this new discovery of science, and as it progresses believe 1t will, to a great extent, revolutioniZe the medical profession"

ION THE CARPET"
Were the Night Warden and Patrolmen Nix and 0Idham-Doses of "Dead Horse"
 Administered.

The board of police commissioners held special meeting last night with all the members present.
 Chairman Stevens announced to the board that the object of the meeting was to investigate charges preferred by Chief Mcdonald against Night Warden Mar shall and Patrolmen Nix and Oldham.
 The case of Night Warden Marshall was first taken up. He was charged with dereliction of duty. As will be remem- bered, on Monday night last he called minutes, and when the officer came failed to inform him that man named Fisher, sitting within the railing, was prisoner.
 Not knowing the man to be in durance vile, Officer Walker stepped into little room in the office to wash his hands, and the man walked out and escaped. Night Warden Marshall was fined five days work without pay.
 The next case called was that of Officer Oldham, against whom three charges were preferred, viz, leaving his beat with out notifying his relief, entering a bar room otherwise than in the discharge of his duties and drinking while on duty. A number of witnesses were examined, and it developed that Officer Oldham had been sick for several days, and was taking medicine, and was forced to leave his beat for a short time. He disproved the charge of drinking while on duty, but ac- knowledged to having stepped into sa- loon, though for the purpose of getting some Jamaica ginger and cordial, his medicine having given out and he need ing a stimulant. He was given five days without pay for leaving his beat. Officer Nix pleaded guilty to leaving his beat without notifying his relief and with out permission. He went into Gafford' S stable office to write a letter and over stayed his time He was also given five days work without pay. f.

the falr sex. ."
 The woman of sense and good taste is by no means the woman who impulsively dons the extreme fashions. She does not seek to be made conspicuous by her gowns. The ultra-wide skirts, the as- toundingly large sleeves or the pro- nouncedly dropping shoulders are all es- chewed by her-hence she always appears we'll dressed and comfortable Not only does she choose her own happy medium in cut, but she is quite certain that a color is becoming before she dares to appear in it. If. however the latest shade is par ticularly pretty and yet unbecom.ng, she contrives to have her gown of a contrast ing and becoming color, and places bows of ribbon, twists of velvet or bits of satin facings of the fashionable shade where 1t cannot in the least affect the complexion. It is a woman's duty to always appear at her best. and to do so she must be stu dent of her own style and individuality. Again Is it safest to follow the advice of the old philosopher. and know myself"
