INDUSTRIAL POINTS.
New Nut and Bolt Works, Cotton Seed Oil
Mill, Snuff and Tobacco Factory
Certainty.

The ground is being excavated for a
bolt and nut works plant at North Biz
mingham. The Wilson Iron Works COM
pany are the projectors.
Kentucky capitalists have leased the
large brick building on Twenty-fourth
street. between First and Second ave-
nues, which they will convert into a
snuff and tobacco mandatory, with a
capital stock of 100000.
A location was secured yesterday in
East Birmingham for a cotton seed oil
MILL with a capital stock of 100000.
The business men are encouraging the
location of the powder mandatory here,
and it is said that instead of removing
the old works from Chattanooga, as first
contemplated a new plant will be put up.
Malone & Bell real estate agents,
have done much for Birmingham during
the past few months. 1t was through the
influence of these gentlemen that Biz
mingham secured the car wheel works,
a cotton seed oil MILL snuff and tobacco
factory and other new industries, and
the State Herald Is informed that they
are now in correspondence with several
manufacturing companies who are de-
sirous of moving to Birmingham. In JUS
tice to these enterprising gentlemen we
will state that not one cent did they re-
ceive for securing these industries, and
in one instance were offered a snug
amount by neighboring city to use their
influence in having one of the plants
mentioned located there.

M'KINLEY FOR SOUND MONEY.
Congressman Taylor CONSTITUTES the Obi
Platform for Him.

Congressman Taylor Construes the Ohio
Platform for Him.
Massllon, O., April 23.-The Eighteenth
district republican convention at ALI
ance yesterday was memorable, because
Congressman r. w. Taylor, who was
chairman of the committee on resolutions
at the Ohio state convention, took oppor-
tunity to construe the financial plank of
the state platform. He not only did this,
but planted Mckinley squarely before the
public as sound money man.
"McKinleyism," he said, Seems to
stand not alone for protection, but in the
expressive language of Mckinley for
currency as sound as the government
and as untarnished as its honor
He would not be a true son of Ohio If
he did not stand for currency for the
well being of this great people. 1t was
Ohio that In 1865 furnished the great bat
tie ground where was fought fight for
honest money.
To-day we find the republican party
in the lower branch of congress, fresh
from the people, standing on the national
platform of 1892, declaring itself by an
Overwhelming majority against the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L.
And that said Mr.. Taylor, is conse-
uuently the Interpretation of the OHIO
PLATFORM 1t Is to be construed as in har-
mony with the sentiment of the lower
house. and that sentiment is opposed to
free coinage in every root, branch and
fiber

QUAY IS THEIR CHOICE.
Pennsylvania Republicans Refuse 10 Instruct
for Mckinley as Second Choice-De-
clared for the Gold Standard. -

Harrisburg, Pa, April 23.-The republi-
can state convention was called to order
in the opera house at 1890 today by
Frank w. Leach of Philadelphia, chair
man of the executive committee of the
state committee. Mr. Leach officiated
in the absence of Senator and State
Chairman Quay, who went to Washing
ton this morning. Ex-State Treasurer
H. K. Boyer of Philadelphia was made
temporary chairman and Attorney Cen
eral Amos H. Mylie of Lancaster perma-
nent chairman. All contests were settled
either in favor of Quay delegates or by
splitting the vote between the contend
ing factions.
The platform formally presents Quay
as Pennsylvania's preference for the re-
publican candidacy for the presidency.
There was good deal of contention both
before the platform committee and in
the convention over an effort to have
Mckinley Endorsed as second choice. The
committee turned down all resolu-
tions to that end and the convention sup
ported the committee motion 8 to l. The
Quay men dominated the convention.
The committee on resolutions rejected
resolution which recommended that the
voters express their choice for United
States senator at primary elections. That
was also presented to the convention
and rejected. The platform formally
dominates Quay in the first paragraph,
which stands for protection, reciprocity,
liberal pensions, discriminating duties in
favor of American shipping and restrict
ing immigration.
The financial utterances follow:
The republican party has always main
tanned the national honor and credit. 1t
enforced the resumption of specie pay
ments. 1t kept faith as to every debt
created for the preservation of the union,
and has paid the greater part of 1t in ac-
cordance with the spirit and the letter
of the laws under which it had been con-
tracted. 1t largely reduced the interest.
charges upon the balances of the debt by
refundlng at lower rates. 1t substituted
for the f1uctuating and inadequately Sc
cured notes of the state banks uniform
national currency of stable value and of
equal purchasing and debt-paying pow
err. Faithful to its record, believing that
the people are entitled to the use of the
best money and anxious to restore and
preserve the industrial and commercial
prosperity of the union, the republican
party favors International bimetallsm,
and until that can be established upon
a secure basis opposes the coinage of sill
and demands the maintenance of the eX-
listing gold standard of value.
Senator Quay was reelected state
chairman The delegates-at-large to the
national convention were chosen as fol-
lows: Gov d. H. Hastings, James Ele-
version, Philadelphia Frank J. Terrence,
Allegheny; James s. Beacon, Westmore-
land; r. L. Flood, Crawford; Joseph
Bosler, Montgomery; w. w. CREST, Ian

Porges-McDonald.
The marriage ceremony at the First
Baptist church last night was of unusual
interest. The bride, Miss Veni McDon-
aid, is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs.
G. f. Mcdonald. The groom, Mr.. Alex
ander Porges of New York is favorably
known here in business circles. Miss
Mcdonald has been a great favorite in
a large circle here, and despite the dread
full downpour of rain a host of admiring
friends gathered at the church to wit
ness her happy marriage to the man of
her choice. She is young lady of rare
gifts and graees, and carries into her new
life all the attributes of charming woman
hood. The decorations were beautiful
and elaborate, the music appropriate and
the ceremony very impressive. A num-
Der of friends accompanied the young
couple to the depot to wish them god
speed on their journey so auspiciously
began.

the republican state convention to order

short speech, declaring that no matter
whether Reed, Mckinley, Allison or any
