lead of the minority in that convention.
This allusion to the Hill and Cleveland
contest was received with shouts of
laughter.
Then Chairman Harrity said unless
the majority of the convention shall 9TH
erwise instruct, the chair will direct
call of the roll Immediately after the
next speaker had closed. 1t is for the
majority to decide. This declaration APP
parently met the unanimous approval OF
the convention, and the chairman add
ed that, recognizing this to be the senti-
ment, he would recognize Mr.. Clayton
of Alabama to close the debate.
Hon. H. d. Clayton
promised at the outset that he would not
offend the majority by threats nor amuse
others by drinking too much ice water.
This allusion to the Louisiana gentleman
was received with laughter, and having
put the delegates in good humor Mr.
Clayton proceeded to proclaim himself as
the friend of David b. Hill now as he had
been four years ago. Hill would support
the nominee of the convention and would
reiterate his declaration for the independ-
ent free and unlimited coinage OF silver
in line with that great speech. He loved.
honored and respected him, for at his feet
he (Clayton) had learned democracy. IL
was said that the convention was vio-
lating tradition. What tradition? Read
the writings of the fathers, search them
in vain and tell him what was found
there that was now applicable. 1t would
be shown that majority of the democrats
were entitled to rule in a democratic con-
vention. To the objection that the repub-
licans would criticise them, what did 1t
mean? The one fact that the republicans
would condemn them would make him
support the suggestion. Mr.. Clayton con-
Guided that he wanted full and unlimited
coinage of silver and free and unlimited

usual happy, dignified and very impress

predicted that the fusion ticket in JEFF

upon the Mckinley club organizers seized
the opportun to increase their number
and resoluted that the fusion candidates
be invited to visit the club and make ad-

that the fusion orators have their pieces

VICTIM OF A JEHU.
Mr.. Robert Jemison Run Over by Careless
Hack Driver.

Mr.. Robert S. Jemison met with a pain
full and almost fatal accident yesterday
afternoon. While standing in front of
the First National bank, at the corner
of First avenue and Twentieth street,
waiting for a car, hack drawn by two
horses and driven by a careless driver,
struck him, knocking him to the ground,
and the wheels passing over his limbs.
Mr. Jemson, as soon as possible, arose
and sought a physician, who, on exami-
nation, found him to be badly bruised,
but no bones broken. 1t was fortunate
escape for Mr.. Jemison.
This Is but one of many accidents
which will result from the carelessness
of hackmen and draymen. The speed
with which they turn corners and come
out of alleys across sidewalks Is at times
absolutely dangerous, and it is strange
that no accidents such as that which
happened to Mr.. Jemison have not been
recorded heretofore.

Mr.. w. H. Pickens, the well known BIZ

Columbus, Miss, where he goes to par
ticipate in the bicycle races In that city.
Owing to the fact that Columbus is not
in the circuit, 1t was necessary for Mr..
Pickens to have a permit before he could
ride there. He telegraphed Mr.. e. H.
Croninger, chairman of the racing board,
at Cincinnati for permission to enter the
races, which was granted him. He
hopes to hold up Birmingham's repu.a-
ton during the meet.

How an Alabama Girl Has Achieved Unique
Distinction.

Miss Maude Brizendine, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Brizen-
dine, has returned from Talladega, where
she has been attending the Deaf and
Dumb institute. Miss Brizendine is one
of the unfortunates who, by Illness, has
been bereft of hearing and speech. With
all these defects she is a very bright and
intelligent young girl. She has the dis
tinction of being the first student during
the thirty-five years the Talladega Deaf
and Dumb institute has been in existence
to stand a successful examination ad-
hitting her to the National Deaf and
Dumb institute at Washington, d. C.

of the achievements of their daughter,
and deservedly so. She will go to Wash

The Turnbund Admits Women.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May IL
At the annual convention Of the
Lake Erie district Turnbund held
in this city last evening, 1t was
decided after much discussion that
women be admitted to all the
societies. This was complete
surprise to most OF the members,
as it was thought the motion
would be defeated because the
committee on national affairs had
submitted their report in which it
was recommended that the propo-
sition to admit women be left to
various societies. The matter will
be brought up before the national
convention in Louisville, KY, in
June for final disposition. De.
troit was decided upon as the
place for the next annual conven-
ton,
