Special to The Age-Herald.


Montgomery, April 16.-The overwhelming
victory of the free silver Mcclellan ele-
ment in the democratic party was nowhere
so pronouncedy emphasized as in the
sweeping popular majority by which they
carried Mobile county, which was univer-
sally considered the stronghold of the OPP
position. McClellan's popular majority in
that county was over 200 The executive
committee had exhausted every device
known to the ingenious manipulation of
party machinery in Coleman's interest, in
Guiding the gerrymander of two beats. In
the windup it developed that a change of
IA votes in one ward would have given
Mcclellan the convention by a large ma
jority in spite of the committee. Mcclellan
got the vote of the people by 200 majority,
Coleman gets the delegates
The other most noteworthy feature of
the election was the breaking of the Cole
man-B ankhead-Clarke alignment in the
first and second congressional districts.
Marion, in the sixth district, instructed for
Mcclellan. while Marengo, in the first, went
solid for him. The latter county was sup
posed by the Coleman men to be rock
ribbed for him, and the old Clarke influ-
ence went down after exhaustive strug-

Chairman Was Ratified.

The new county executive committee of
the democratic party met yesterday at
noon in the circuit court room. M. A.

the absence of the regular chairman, R.

again elected secretry. A committee con-
sisting of Fl. B. Gray, A. j. Waldrop,

port back to the committee the two con-
tested election which were before the COM

The secretary reported that he had In
his possession the poll lists that were re.
turned from the various places in the eonn.
ty and asked for instructions as to what he
should do with them. A resolution was
adopted stating that it was the sense of
the committee that all poll lists received
from the primary be kept in possession Of
the secretary for thirty days, subject to
the inspection of the members of the COM
mittee and especially to the members OF
the committee on contests.
A communication was read from Prof.
NJ. V. Henry asking to be allowed to in
spect the poll lists. There seemed to be
objection to this on the part of some of the
members of the committee, but it was fl
nally decided to refer the whole matter to
the committee on contests with power to
act. The poll lists will also be open to
the inspection of all contestants.
The committee adjourned, subject to the
call of the chairman.

OF the doubtful vote the Mcclellan peo-
pie claim Al. Should Coleman carry the
other 26, the final vote will stand McClel-
Ian, 1884, Coleman. 1881. 1t would take
16S votes to give Coleman one-third of the
convention. His outside possibilities are
slightly under $50.
There is every indication of harmonious
convention. Free silver will have it's way
and the numerous candidates for the other
offices will fight friendly fight, and the
winners will go before the people with a
united party behind them.
Since summing up the foregoing addition
al returns show that the delegation from
Marengo may be divided half and half;
that Cullman county should be added to
the Mcclellan column and four more votes
from Dale; also that Cherokee and jack
son are likely to give more to Mcclellan
than is claimed.

Opposition in His Own County

A rather~peculiar feature of the struggle
was the local opposition to Judge Coleman
in his own county. Mcclellan conceded
Greene to him after the usual practice of
courtesy, and made no issue. Yet the nat
ural opposition was such that in Greene
county the convention lacked only two dele
gates of being anti-Coleman.
The friends of Judge Mcclellan claim that
he has 3241A delegates certain. They con-
cede to Judge Coleman 1141a They allow
65 as doubtful, but estimate that Mcclellan
will receive Al of these making his total
vote 3651k to Colemans 1882
To go into the figures, the following
counties, with 100 delegates, have instruct
ed for Mcclellan:

healers and teachers of this system
of medicine-whose only crowned
head is divine sovereignty, whose
only priest is the spiritualized man.
Most of those present were the stu
dents of her students. Nearly all
of them had had several years ex-
perience and marked success as
healers. Their present fields of
labor is as follows:
