1t remains to be seen whether the extra
session will be called. We do not think that
the governor has such hold on the legisla-
ture as, that body will repeal its well conr
sidered act simply to please him. Many
members who have heretofore supported
him have already expressed themselves
against the extra session. Whatever tha
result may be to the convention, the goyer-
nor has doubtless made certain one thing-s
his own political destruction.

call an extra session of the legislature with

We predict that the action of Governor
Johnston in trying to throw cold water on
the constitutional convention movement in
Alabama will only strengthen the cause of
the convention, by solidifying the democrats

ure. There is also one other effect of his
action which we predict, and that is, it
completely destroys whatever shadow Of
chance ever existed for his election as
United States senator.
