IT LOOKS LIKE
 MCCLELLAN WINS Jefferson Gives Him a Solid Del-
 egation. MONTGOMERY DID LIKEWISE Gives Her Solid Vote to Limestone's Brilliant Son and Judge Coleman Carried Mobile and But Two Other Counties Heard
 From Early this Morning.

Jefferson county will give it's solid dele gation for Hon. Thomas N. Mcclellan for chief justice of the supreme court. From present indications enough counties have sided with old Jefferson to clinch the vic tory.
 He carried Montgomery county. as he night, which gives him large majority of delegates, conceding the certain coun- ties to Coleman and pulling those conceded by that faction in the Mcclellan column.
 Mcclellan Wins
 It was impossible to get all the returns from the country beats last night, but enough was heard to show that the county is overwhelmingly for Judge Mcclellan for chief justice. The Coleman vote in the city is very scattering indeed. It is very probable that the entire Coleman vote in the county convention will not amount to twenty-five. In Cleveland beat where there were two tlchelS Oile d SOiio 4hASNiOiioh ticket, the other five for Coleman and nine for Mcclellan, the solid Mcclellan ticket won, almost two to one. In Monroe beat, the home of MT Tomlinson, the Advertiser predicted Coleman would carry the beat, yet the Mcclellan, anti-prorate ticket won more than three to one. This shows that the prediction by the Coleman forces that Coleman would develop unexpected strength did not come true. The delesa- tions from Bessemer, Pratt City, Wood lawn and Avondale, East Lake and in- deed nearly all of the delegations given be- low are solid for Mcclellan.
 The Beat Delegations
 Cleveland Beat-As stated above, the most interesting contest between rival del- egations was in Cleveland beat. The bi- metallic ticket, which favored Hefiin for so- licitor, defeated the democratic ticket, which favored Green, nearly two to one The silver issue was much in evidence Besides this is Hefns home beat. The following is the successful ticket: T. L. Robertson, J. M. Meighan, w. M. Drennen, N l.. Miller, w. R. Gum, J. T. Garretson, A. A. Smith, T. B. Meriwether, Wyatt Heflin, J. N. Cunningham, J. D.

 Monroe beat-The following delegates were elected: c. A. Mountjoy, Ross c. Smith, J. B. Burkhalter, J. H. Hamilton, w. J. Pearce and R. P. Wetmore. This ticket was the uncompromising anti-pro rate ticket of the Mcclellan forces, which beat the opposition ticket about three to one. w. J. Pearce was not on the original ticket but he is also uncompromising Mcclellan man and got in on that and other issues and by being on two tickets. Of course the delegation is for Judge Sharpe and Chas. G. Brown first, last and all the time.
