CONTEST FOR DELEGATES ID THE
 CONVENTION COMES TOMORROW

 convention are also to be selected.
 This convention, it will be remembered, will bo held on Wednesday next The only thing to be done by it is to endorse delez gate-at-large to represent this senatorial district, composed of Jefferson county. and to select thirty delegates to the state con vention in Montgomery.
 Senator Cunningham is the only candidate who has announced himself for the posi- tion of delegate-at-large, and, as is well known, he has a very strong following in this county. There has been some talk of a dark horse" being entered against pr. Cunningham, but there are few who believe that any other name than Dr. Cunning hams will be proposed.
 Dr. Cum 'ngham, of course, has some strong enemies in Jefferson. and It IS thought that if they make any fight against him at all. it will be to send Jefferson's del- egation to the state convention uninstructed to vote for any particular candidate. pr. Cunningham's endorsement by the county convention Is not final, because it has to be ratified or rejected by the state conven- ton. If the Jefferson delegation were not soldly for him, it would be possible to cause a division which would give the sena- tor some trouble.
