 The tract of land which the Cleveland Game Preserve Syndicate controls consists of 1000 acres. It takes in several farms, all of which are admirably adapted to the purpose in view. Many of these farms have large wood lots upon them, with the trees growing so thick that man has never penetrated them. In winter time the farm CTS hew wood on the outskirts of the little forests, and leave the interior to grow thicker and thicker every season.

 In spite of efforts to keep 1t quiet the fact has leaked out that for month past Mr. Cleveland, with a party of friends, has been negotiating for a large tract of land, to be used for a game preserve. Some of the gentlemen interested with him were Col. A. R. Kuser who was on Gov. Griggs staff; Eberhardt Vollmer,

 THECOMMERCIAL CLUB MET Yesterday Afternoon in Regular Monthly Session. M'CLURE'S PLAN ENDORSED To Print Page Advertisement of Birmingham in Philadelphia Times For $750-Commit- tee 10 Raise funds-0ther Business.
M'CLURE'S PLAN ENDORSED

The regular monthly meeting of the Commercial club was held yesterday af- ternoon and several important matters of directors was held at S:SO prior to the meeting of the club.
 The annual election of officers occurs on the second Monday in May and according to the bylaws a committee of five, com posed of Messrs. J. A. Rountree, B. F. Roden, A. D. Smith, M. B. Leedy and A. R. Dearborn was appointed by the chair to name ticket to be voted for on that date.
 Rev. R. D. Wear, T. " Boardman, A. J. Reilly Cecil Hicks and R. l.. Brooks were elected to membership in the club. Presi- dent Milner then called the club to order.
 At the previous meeting the question of the alleged discrimination by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company against Birmingham In rates to the carnival, was referred to the transportation committee for investigation. Chairman Mayberry, of that committee, reported that he had writ ten to the officers of the road, but that he had received no reply and had been in- formed by local representatives that he would not. On motion Secretary Boles was instructed to take the matter up with the road with view of arriving at some set- clement.
 A resolution was passed indorsing the anti-scalpers bill now pending in congress.
 J. A. Rountree moved that the chair ap- point twenty-five delegates to represent the club at the annual meeting of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial association which meets in this city this month. The motion was carried. The chair will an- nounce the delegates later.
 The chair will appoint committee of five to arrange for the entertainment Of tI1A inD other points This committee will also be announced later.

ocrat, and be true man or true partisan? Most assuredly not. He cannot serve two masters, said Christ, at the same time. Such hypocrisy and double-dealing at once forfeits the confidence and respect of the voter
 Bimeltallism cannot be promoted by vot- ing for or electing goldbugs to office or re- warding renegades from party by defeating true and loyal men, as is now being at tempted in this county.
 Fealty to the democratic party, then means not only adherence to party prdnci- ples, but in voting for and carrying out the same.
 Democrats, vote for candidates who not only talk or profess democracy, but who practice it under all circumstances All others are shams and deserve the contempt of true men.
 A word now as to our legislative ticket All agree that Jefferson county should have @ strong delegation in the legislature and net lot of fourth-rate lawyers or ward politicians, the curse of all legislative bod ies.
 Surely, out of such material as s. w. John, B. B. Conner, W. c. Garrett, General R. D. Johnson, J. W. Tomlinson, Colonel J. B. F. Jackson, of Birmingham; Colonel Dansby and Prof. Morgan, of Woodlawn; MT. Golston, of East Lake; cDr. G. w. Brown, of Pratt City; Davidson of War rfor, and others that might be mentioned, a strong delegation can be selected. But above all, let us see that they and all other Candidates have a consistent record upon the currncy question.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.
To fhe Age-Herald.

TO the Age-Herald.
 It is extremely important just now to determine and clearly understand what. in a party sense, constitutes democrat and what constitutes feahy to party, etc.
 A man must endorse In toto the princi- ples enuncated In the Chicago platform and vote and work for the same, or he can- not be a. true Democrat. He cannot be a democrat and go4dbug at one and the same time any more than he can be a republican and democrat or a white and black man at the same time. There can be no such anomoly in nature as goldbug democrat. So says MT. Bryan. So says every well-informed man. That principles fundamentally different cannot be enter tadned by the same individual at the same time, Is as unquestionable as that two bod ies in physics cannot occupy the same
 place at the same time.
 Then, what constitutes party fealty or a true test of democracy? Can @ democrat vote for a goldbug or a goldbug for a dem-
