DOUGLAS SMITH FOR CONGRESS
Nominated by the Republicans in the Fifth District - Regulations on Freights from Yellow Fe-
 yer Infected Districts.

Montgomery, Setember A.-(Special.l-At 6:30 o'clock this morning, after an all-day and an al-night session, the democratic state executive committee declared G. w. Taylor of Marengo to be the regular noml- nee to congress of the democracy of the First Alabama district. The resolution de- claring this result reads follows;
 Resolved, That while the question Is not wholly free from doubt and much can and hsa been said in support of both proposi- tions, yet the committee is unanimously Of the opinion that the Hon. Hannis Taylor really carried Choctaw county; that the re- suit in Washington was tie and inasmuch as the whole of Washington county Is es- sential to maintain the Hon. Hannis Taylor contest, 1t results that the Hon. G. w. Taylor is the lawful nominee of the demo- cratic party in the First congressional dis trict and is entitled to the loyal support of all democrats residing therein.
 ''In reaching this conclusion the commit tee is not unmindful of the fact that cer- tain Irregularities occurred in the conven- tion in Washington county, which the com mittee cannot approve or indorse, but these Irregularities do not affect the final result. The committee is further in serious doubt as to the regularity of the district conven- ton in said district in adopting the report Of the credentials committee, but as it ap- pears from all the evidence that a clear majority of the lawfully elected delegates were for Hon. G. w. Taylor, such irregu- iarlty, If 1t exists, ought not and does not defeat the nomination there made'
 Wlth an occasional recesS, the committee Was engaged in hearing the evidence in the case till 1:30 o'clock this morning, when 1t went Into executive session. In that ses- sion motion was made to the effect that t"e committee take action. That was lost on a tie vote-10 for and 10 against. The committee being thus tied remained so until 5:30, when it agreed upon the reso- lution given at the head of this report, and adjourned sine die, having had the first all- night session in the history of the state committee
 MT. Hannis Taylor and his friends accept- ed the decision with perfect loyalty
