THE TICKET IS MADE.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plaln Dealef.
 It is all settled. The republican national ticket far 1900 is to be Mckinley and Hobart, the same as in 1896.
 Speaker Reed has given his pledge that he will not be candidate for the nomina- tion against Mckinley. He will not think of opposing him; never did think of it.
 Governor Roosevelt-well Colonel Roose- welt might have had some thoughts about the presidency when he came home from Santiago and heard the shouts of the ex- cited crowds that welcomed the Rough Riders, but Governor Roosevelt Is In a different position. Senator Platt has the governors plans in his keeping, and Sena- tor Platt has pledged the governor and state of New York to Mckinley and Hobart.
 The republican national convention will be held as a matter of form but it will have nothing to do beyond approving the ticket already made and construct a plat form broad enough for every faction in the party to stand on.

them to think for themselves, and that they likewise have courage to act for them selves" This Is, in a few words, exactly what the democrats of the state expect their representatives, the democratic ex- eeu4lve state committee, to do tomorrow in Montgomery. They expect the executive committee to have the courage of their convictions. They expect them to advocate the democratic platform of the democratic state convention against one-man rule. This is not a one-man state. as the Weekly well says, and it is the duty of the state executive committee to take steps to res cue the people from one-man power-from boss-rule. in other words.
 The integrity of the democratic party, which stands for white supremacy and state progress, is at stake in Montgomery tomorrow. There should be no dickers, no compromises, in this case. Either party action is wholly conclusive and obligatory, no halfway house in the matter of party discipline, if party strength is to be maintained Governor Johnston has TO more right to disregard or disobey the mandates of the party than the humb.est man in the ranks has. Governor Johnston's offense is most rank. He not only refuses favor constitutional convention, but he proposes to organize a faction to fight the platform, both in the legislature and out of it.
 If the state executive committee fails to deal with the present lot of kickers and bolters in the most thorough manner, it mium. for future kicks and bolts The true plan consists in a plain, explicit dec- laration that every line of the platform, and every act of the convention Is Of bind- ing force upon democrats within the state, and in action that will carry such a dec- laration into effect. The Johnston revolt can be crushed by thorough and prompt and definite action. Any dllly-dallying on the part of the state executive committee will be construed as evidence of weakness, and it would simply encourage the bolters to renewed efforts. Vindicate the demo- cratic party, that's all. Stand firmly and undeviatingly up to the democratic plat form anent a constitutional convention. Rally and organize the faithful, and lead on to a glorious victory in favor of white supremacy and ballot-box purity, and the election of United States senators by the people.

 D. c. Bloomberg. who has considerable lumber interests In Middle Alabama, came in yesterday from one of his mills at Clan ton. He says that colony of immigrants will soon occupy large tract of land near that place. A syndicate has purchased several thousand acres of land and is hav- ing it improved and divided up into small farms which are being bought by Norwe- gian farmers. MT. Bloomberg says the plan of the company is to put ten acres in each farm and plant thereon either fruit trees or a vineyard and sell it to the Nor wegians for $25O. Most of the land has been bought up and few families have all ready arrived. It is expected that several hundred of them will have moved there within the next few months.
 
 The lounge.s in front of the Florence were treated to one of the strangest process sions yesterday afternoon ever witnessed in Birmingham. Four two-Wheel wagons were seen coming down Second avenue drawn by an equal number of men. On the wagons or carts were packed the parts Of a ragged tent and various cooking utensils. Accompanying the procession were num- Der of women and children looking consld- eraby the worse for wear. On the rear cart was seated a man curiously surveying his surroundings small boy was labor iously pulling the cart without murmur' It was afterwards learned that the man was a cripple. The procession stopped Tn front of the postofice and a large crowd of curious people soon gathered. One of the men, evidently the leader, soon in- formed those bold enough to ask that they had started from point about seventy-five miles from Little Rock, Ark, and were making their way to Florida where em- ployment was awaiting them- We started on the first of November and came through all that cold and snow,' he said. we got tc the Arkansas swamps and had to sell the two teams we started out with so as to get to Memphis. When we got there we decided to go 1t afoot. The carts were soon rigged up and we hitched a man to each one and left, and you see how we are get ting along" He stated that they usually made from ten to sixteen miles day. There were thirteen of them in the party, and after inquiring the way to Montgomery they started off again leaving a large crowd watching them as the strange pro- cession wended its way down the street.

Expenses of Extra SessIon.

In discussing the relative cost of an extra session the Eufaula Times says in reply to the Union Springs Herald:
 The members will stay in Montgomery
 all summer. There is no limitation to
 their stay. Does the Herald presume
 that an extra session is to be without
 cost to the state? It would be an idylic
 gathering of boys who would refuse to
 draw their mileage or per diem. The ex-
 tra session is likely to cost almost as
 much as a constitutional convention and
 probably quite as much.
 If the extra session should sit as long as the constitutional convention would, the cost would be alike, because the per diem and mileage allowances in the two cases are alike-four dollars a day, and ten cents a mile each way for travelling on passes.
 The cost of the convention of 1875 was s25 sS4 says the Montgomery Advertiser, after consulting the reports of the auditor of that early day But at that time mem- at the rate of forty cents a mile each way. The Advertisers estimate of the cost of a constitutional convention on the present basis is $2O,OOO. The cost should not, and probably will not, exceed that sum.
 It is impossible to estimate the cost of an extra session, because, as the Eufaula der pay in Montgomery "all summer" Ger tainly. very considerable number of mem- bers could arrange their private affairs against a long official outing in Montgom- cry. The capital city is not an ideal sum- mer resort, but life in Montgomery under pay is better to many than life elsewhere without pay. No one can, therefore, say what an extra session would cost. It might cost $2OOOO, without accomplishing the work that Governor Johnston demands.
 The cost of a constitutional convention would be a bagatelle if it should satisfac- torily solve the difficult problems that Governor Johnston so forcibly called for in his message of November 1896. These problems touch the dearest and best inter- ests of the state, and 1t is to their solution, in compliance with Governor Johnstons earnest recommendations of 1896, that the convention would address itself. The Age Herald is confident every problem mention- ed by Governor Johnston would be satisfac- torily solved by the proposed constitutional conyention-so satisfactorily in fact that the people would ratify its action at the polls, and the state~would be forever rid of questions that are now very perplexing and very difficult, and very embarrassing to the growth and prosperity of the state

A CURIOUS APPOINTMENT.

1iVooOIIBNIs
 There are some severe criticisms afioat about Governor Johnston appointing man who deserted the confederate army, as one of the pension examiners in one of the counties of the state Some hard things have been said by veterans. We hope the governor can see his way clear to make the necessary explanation, for it is indeed a sorry man and veteran who would make application for pension before a board one of the members of which is known to be a deserter and a renegade.

From the Birmingham Labor Advocate.

From the Birmingham Labor Advocate.
 The governor of Alabama seems to have lost his rudder and to be soshing about in the trough of the wave of popular favor. When he appeals to Johnston he is unani- mously endorsed but when he goes to the country he gets left. When a man gets started down hill, he by instinct always does the wrong thing at the right time. The late almost supreme master of the des- tinies of the democratic party is in that position now; but as his term of office is not yet out, it is to be expected that one unpopular break after another will follow his attempts to get an extra session of the legislature to punish the majority of the late convention.
