 Vote.
BROWNE. OF TAlLAOEeA, REPLIES
To an Attack from the Advertiser and Scores Hit-This Is Constitutional Con- vention Day and the Out
 look Is Favorable.

Montgomery, Feb. 4.-(Special. .)-The house this morning had a busy session and not much time was consumed by dil- atory motions and personal privilege ex- plantations.
 After the regular call of committees, the first business after the call of counties was MT Cameron's motion to reconsider the railroad commission bill, which was lost yesterday. MT. Waller moved to lay the motion on the table and called for ayes and noes and to the surprise of the friends of the bill MT. Walters mo- tion prevailed by vote of 56 to S6. This, 1t Is thought, effectually kills the bill.
 Several members made explanations of their votes, notably MT. Timberlake, of Jackson, of high hat fame. He said 1t had been intimated or charged that he had changed his mind on this matter twice between two suns and that it was false. That he had always been op posed to the bill, and no lobbyist had ever approached him on the subject.
 The pool bill was passed and as it has been a pet measure of MT. Lipscomb, of Jefferson, he is in fine humor today. Messrs. Lipscomb and Green made good speeches in favor of the bill and fought all riders with the power of veterans in legislation. The lobbies and galleries were full and the ladies had the right of way in the galleries by order of the speaker.
 The senate killed the two weeks pay bill by vote of 21 to z. MT. Cunning ham fought hard for it, but the senate could not agree with him.
 MT. Browne, of Talladega, on point of Cntaa rArix cly tr ticle from the Montgomery Advertiser which on several occasions had misquot- ed him, and he would make a written re- ply, and if there was an honorable repre- sentative of that paper in the house he would hand him his written reply and would like to be correctly reported for one time.
 Mir. Browne's reply reads as follows:
 MT. Speaker: Since a few days ago 1ndulged in a little pleasantly as to the Advertisers democracy, I have time and again been misrepresented by that paper What I then said was said as matter of pleasantry; but since, today the Adver- tiser seriously questions my democracy I now desire to say that the best evidence of mans democracy is the fact of it's being questioned by that paper
 The conclusion of the Advertisers criticism of me is as follows:
 " He could- have imbfbed that sort of democracy from the Advertiser.' .
 Tn reply, wish to say that no one could have imbibed any sort of democ- racy from the Advertiser, since 1t bolted the democratic nomination of that grand est of all democrats, William J. Bryan.
 "CECLL BROWNE"
 At the conclusion of this letter, MT. Browne was greeted with tremendous applause.
