CUNNINGHAM WILL
 NOT BE A CANDIDATE
Writes Letter Saying That He Wili Not Ac- cept the Nomination for State
 Senatorshlp.

Dr. R. M. Cunningham has written the following letter declaring that he is not a candidate for reelection to the senate:
 Ensley, Ala, April G. 1900. To the Editor of the Bessemer Weekly: Dear Sir:-Some one has sent me copy of the "Bessener Workman" containing on the first page an editorial, communica ton or something else, in which it Is charged, among other things, that "Sena- tor Cunningham is taking a mighty interest in the present senatorial campaign and do- ing all in his power to have delegates sent to the county convention, and it is the plan to return him to the senate even though the people don't want him.
 Please allow me space in your columns to say that I am not a candidate for state seantor. nor will be, and that I could not accept 1t if unanimously nominated by the democratic convention.
 As to the peoples will and choice in the matter, there is no way of finding out. The Johnston executive committee have tied their hands upon the matter. The people cannot vote for candidates for either United States or state senator. Personally, I have enough. In 1896 I ran for the state senate at the instance and demand of the friends of bimetallism, and incidentally declared in favor of certain questions of :secial To- cal interest. Upon all these questions the written record of the senate stands in com plete vindication of both my fidelity and
 
 good opinions I care will investigate the record before they condemn me or believe the islanders circulated against me- In lS96 ran Tor the senate from pure sense of patriotism, disregarding my personal anu business interests; in 1900 there is no issue of sufficient importance for me to disregard my own interests. Therefore, am out of politics. l have refused to go out of this county to make a speech, and nave made none here except by invita- inf of In .1a s,
 l have spoken. There certain matters or local and general interests upon which differ with the governor, and when the people who have honored me with their suffrage want to hear from me, it is not only pleasure but my duty to respond Further than this I have done nothing, and for that or anything else I might choose to do in the interest of Senator Morgansa that is right and honorable I have the right to do, and owe nobody any apology. Very respectfully,
 R. M. CUNNINGHAM

 MT. Pettigrew, unable on account of Mir. Morgan's objection to get his resolution expressing sympathy for the Boers be- fore the senate, then addressed the senate as if the resolution were under considera- tfon. The senator maintained that his resolution ought to be adopted. If it were not it would be the first time in history that the senate had failed to stand by nation struggling for liberty. It was well understood, in his opinion, that the pres ent administration was favorable to the cause of Great Britain. Even If MT. Hay had no verbal understanding with Great Britain-and the senator believed he had so long as MT Mckinley occupied the white house nothing would be done for the struggling South African republics. The reason was that the United States he said, was engaged In the same business as Great Britain While England was rob ping the Boers we were robbing the Filipnos. After an executive session the senate at 4:50 D. m. adjourned until Sat urday.
