Dan McConyine of Washington is now
at Columbus. He is chairman CT the Ohio
Democratic State CO mmittee, ard also Gus
todian Of the Mclean Senatorial boom.
He has just made formal statement
that the one and only test OF Democracy
is the vote for OF against Bryan This
is q Stalwart position, and il is singular
that it has been used TO admit TO regular
Fellowship with the party in Ofio several
men who did not vote for the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Columbus
district The whole controversy arose
over the candidacy ofreertain gentlemen
for mayor of Columbus. The silver men
are i'll the saddle One Of the most eligible
candidates for mayor voted for Bryan on
the glound OF regularity, but voted openly
against tie candidate for Congress because
he wanted a gold man in the National
Legislature. McConville's ruling will let
a number of men into the primaries whose
right TO vote had been disputed, but it is
claimed that the silver Democrats wiz
nominate their man handily.
McConville is looking over the field in
Ohio carefully The appointment of Hanna
will make the Ohio fight a very warm one.
1t is, however, certain that Mr.. Mclean is
goingin into the fight TO win, and he now
has no competition whatever in democratic
leadership. 1t is still regarded as n open
question who will be named for governor
but there is a strong sentiment for eX-
Gov. Campbell, who supported Bryan. al
though he was regarded as very yellow on
the money question. Campbell has already
been three times candidate for governor.

Benedict's four years. Mr.. McVicar has
been here in person, and Foster has his

Senator Carter said yesterday afternoon
that so far as he could ascertain, the
President had not seen fit to consult a
single Senator from the Western States
prior to his action in setting aside many
millions Of acres for forest reservations
.'Eot q single Senator or Representative
that l have talked to-, he added, knew
anything about, the decision TO withdraw
these lands from entry until the work was
done It would haze been just about as
appropriate for the President to have
fenced in and set apart the whole State of
Montana for reservation, as to dispose
of the great tract Of 100000 acres, as he
has done

 Decatur, Sept. 1S-Whalt came near being a clash between the municipal authorities of the two cities on account of the intended gathering here of the Indian Creek Baptist associa ton, has been averted. After taking action last Tuesday forbidding the negroes to enter the city, some of the council of Decatur were in favor of extending the prosciip- tion only to excursionists and not to the association proper.
 Following this there was strong talk of establishing shot gun quarantine be- tween thls two cities on the part of New Decatur, and Dr. Murray had announced that he would order 1t done if the ne- groes came here. It was finally decld d to stop the whole business, as was originally intended, so the colored breth- ren will have Ito stay at home. Some 10000 of them would have come here on the various trains, as several big ex- cursions had been planned.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
What an Age-Herald Man Discovered.

One of She many sharp thorns thrust almost daily into the anatomy of re- porter is the admonipion from the city editor to get news, something unusual, live and of interest to everybody. Well, yesterday lucky strike was made while one of our staff was on still-hunt in the railroad yards, between the bridges, on Twenty first and Twenty md streets. He discovered a car aflame with posters of most gaudy descrp- tion. Upon investigation he found the car was in the rear of the Beck Candy and Grocery company's esta blishment, loaded with sour pickle, sweet mixed pickle, chow chow, sour kraut, catsup and Belle of the South 4-year-oId vim egar, which is as rich as old Bourbon. The facts elcited were that the goods were wholesome and of the very highest grade, the output of the celebrated Knaddler & Lucas company of Louis vile, and that the Beck company had already placed them with the leading Srocers of Bir21ingham, Bessemar and Pratt City. This cons .gnment is unusu- ally large. The cars will Joe unlcaded Monday, and every one Who wants a first-class article in this fne w.1l call fos these goods. They are handled in bulk and in bottles. The Beck Candy and Grocery company, knowing tha after these goods are once introduced, the demand VIII foe steady and increase, have arranged to carry a large amount in stock continually.
 1t Is due the enterprise of these gen- tlemen to also mention the fact that they will receive and put upon the market some time next week @ car load of jel- lies, preserves, mincemeats and sauces from the J. D. Stlz Preserving company of Louisville The preserves of this bouse are known and in great demand all over the country. This consignment will no doult be absorbed almost imme- diately, and ii jhe Beck Candy and Gro cery company continue to handle such goods 1t will soon be impossible for any low grade article to find sale in Birmng- ham, Pratt City or Bessemer. Remem- Der If you want anything really nice call for the Kraddler & Lucas p.ckle or chow-chow. Inspection of this consign- ment is desiped, and will prove as sat isfactory to the grocery consumer as it did to our reporter.

SOUTHLAND COMM MENT.
A Split in Republican Ranks Resume of Mar
 tin Murder Case.

Special to The Age-Herald = Courtland, Sept. 1S.-Recently repuTb- Ican mass meeting, which was conn posed largely of the colored voters of Lawrence county. was held here. There were also a number of the white lead ears of that party present. The meeting was called to pass resolutions con demniug F. NJ. Fix who is the chair man of the republican executive conn mithee for the E gh congressional d,s- trfct; they also requested his restgna- 'tton. Some time since Mr. Fix indorsed one Iangatcn who is an intelligent ne gro, and who was an applicant for fine postofffce at Faun Crock, Ala, town six miles vest of here.
 Iaoer on a white man by the nacne of sanderson became an applicant for the si-Ime office Fix tlren went back on Langston and gave his support to Sam derson, who secured the office. Lang ston's supporters and friends produced letters showing clearly that Fix had worked clandestinely against him. This has created two factions in that party in this county, and it is hard to tell where it will end.
 Fix published a letter in this weeks Courtland Enterprise, small paper printed here, denouncing the meeting re- ferrcd to. His statements are caustic and he deals ill pointed personalities, which are being discussed freely. The two faotioIs.s of the party here are work ing bititerly against each o.her.

It is thought by many that the case will be thrown cut of court, Inc verdict against him being very slight.

 Huntsville, Sept 1S.-Much indienas ton was caused here by the appoint. ment of the negro. H. V. Cashin to the position of receiver of public money in the Huntsville land office, and th=re will probably be an effort made to have Pres-' ident Mckinley revoke the appointment or to defeat Cashin's cofirmation in the senate. Cashin's reputation Is unsavory among the white people.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-There il con
siderable pressure for the office Of As
sistant Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
now held by Col. Thomas P. Smith Of
Arkansas. It was thought that Quay's
influence would secure the place for w.
S. Fields of Oklahoma.
The duties of this Office are intricate
and require peculiar fitness, which Col.
Smith has shown to such a degree as to
make it very unlikely that his services
will be spared; anyhow not while some
very important questions are pending
before the interior office.
Col. Smith is at present Acting Com
missioner and this fact has greatly dis
couraged the candidates for the office,
as it shows the Administration conf
dence in him. Some Of the applicants
admit the improbability Of any opening
being made for them there within the
the near future, 4 at all.

A use has been found for the milk
from which cream has been removed.
II is strained and mixed with some in
gradients, which are only known TO the
inventor, an Englishman, and then
compressed. In three days the sub
stance is as hard as celluloid, and may
be shaped in any way. For seven
years the inventor has been trying to
produce this material of a uniform
shade, and has only just succeeded. II
coloring matter is introduced before
it is hardened any desired color
may be obtained. II forms a good
substitute for ivory in the manufacture
of billiard balls. For combs IL is su-
perior TO celluloid, being less brittle
and not as liable to chip. II has q
creamy, glossy surface. II is expected
that it will be especially used in the
manufacture of buttons.
