for the dogs that have been doing

City CONS. Kept
.'.....7. Out Of It.
Wires Stopped Moving
of a Building.
Telephone Companies
Would Not Bulge.
Commissioners Left Others to
. Fight II Out.

Whether the City Commissioners
have the power to order the telephone
companies to remove wires to permit
the passage of a house being moved
along the street, is a question which
came up Wednesday. They took the
easiest way out of the difficulty by
accepting Solicitor Osborne Esgate's
advice to have nothing to do with the
matter.
Mrs. M. L. Edwards bought the John
Gross house at Exchange and High
SITS. She employed men to move it to
High st. and Buchtel ave-, but the tele-
phone wires of both companies were
in the way. Attorney j. V. Welsh ap-
peared before the Commissioners We'd
nesday and cited the law which says
that the telephone wires shall be 80
feet above the ground and shall not
obstruct traffic or travel. Whether
moving a building is either of these,
the Board did not undertake to de-
eide.
Manager J. r. Druckemiller, of the
Central Union Telephone Co., was
called before the Board. He refused
to allow the telephone wires to be
cut unless some one paid for it. That
and the Solicitors advice to let the
matter alone settled the question SO
far as the Board was concerned. Mrs
Edwards will have to come 10 some
agreement with the Telephone com,
panies.

REPORT
OF the Resolutions Committee a
Defeat For Johnson Platform.

Columbus, O., July 1O.--(Spl )-Short-
ly after midnight the committee on res
olutions was called together to hear
the report of the subcommittee. Two
reports We're submitted, one setting out
platform Of the Johnsonian type,
containing specific declarations of the
taxation question and directed mainly
against steam railroads, declaring un-
qualifiedly in favor of municipal own
ership, reaffirming the Democracy of
William J. Bryan, and containing other
and varied political utterances that
will appeal especially to the Johnson
ian element Of the Democratic party
in Ohio.
This was the report of three members
of the sub-committee--E. NJ, Kennedy.
of Morgan, Echo NJ. Heisley, of Cuya-
hoga, and w. S. Finley, of Hardin
county.
Judge Heisley made his speech in
behalf of the johnson platform before
the committee. 1t was all that it was
expected to be. This majority report"
he shouted, was drawn by Mr.. Burton
Smith, the paid attorney of the Toledo
Traction Co., and by Mr.. Judson Har-
mon, the paid attorney of the B. & o.
railroad. Both these gentlemen re.
fused to stand by the nominee of the
Democratic party for President in 1896,
and they are the men who ask the
Democrats of Ohio to accept the plat
form that they have drawn. Will you
do it? You can't get votes on it, let
me tell you" Some one interrupted
Heisler and he came back with ring
ing retort that he meant every word
that he was saying, and welcomed a
challenge from any man as to the truth
of his assertions. Then he threw bo-
quet at Tom Johnson and closed with
declaration that such men as Judson
Harmon, Burton Smith and Harlan
Cleveland couldn't teach him or any
man in Cuyahoga county how to be a
Democrat.
The majority report was an exposi-
ton of the old and conservative Demo-
cratic doctrines and principles, which
will appeal to the Grover Cleveland
type of Democracy. This report was
signed by Judson Harmon, of Cincin-
natl, Burton Smith of Lucas county;
NJ. A. Daugherty, of Fairfield county,
and w. II. Spencer of Columbiana
county.
This was the second defeat for Chas.
p. Salen and his taxation plank. The
first was the appointment of the reso.
luton committee, and the second in
the report of the committee At o..
clock the committee on resolutions was
debating on the majority and minority
reports of the subcommittee. The in,
dications are that the committee will
accept the majority report, and Salen
will be compelled to bring his ideas
for platform before the convention
under a minority report of the COM
mittee.
The defeated anti-Dowling delegation
will carry their fight on the floor OF
the convention tomorrow.

SUFFRAGE PLAN IS
 ENDORSED IN CHAMBERS

LaFayette. July 6.-(Special) )-The Age Herald's correspondent interviewed a number of prominent men on the suffrage question.
 w G. Davis, chairman Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee of Chambers County, said: q approve the plan submitted to the convention by the Suffrage Commit tee. I believe this the nearest approach could be made to the point we want to reach'
 Capt. R. J. Moore said: "I heartily en- dorse in full the plan of the committee as submitted in the majority report to the convention. I think that good plan."
 Prof. w. G. Jorrell. Superintendent of Education of Chambers County, said: Under the circumstances l accept the plan submitted to the convention. Could the State make the proper appropriations to make education to some degree compul- sorry I would favor laying more stress upon the educational requirements, but I believe this the best that could be done now"
 Representative E. M. Oliver said: 'The plan reported by the Committee on Suf- frage and Elections seems to me the Best that can be devised. The first and second subdivisions of the fourth section, stand ing alone, would no doubt be violative of the Federal constitution, because their operation is limited, if not by their lan- guage, at least by their effect, to the white race; but the third subdivision is as much part of the plan as the first and second. They will all be construed to- gether, and it cannot be denied that, taken as a whole. the fourth section pre- scribes as a test of the right of citizen to vote a rule or condition to which all citizens similarly situated may conform.

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE
 MEETS WITH DISFAVOR

Talladega, July 6.-(special.) )-several prominent Talladegians have expressed themselves to the Age-Herald correspon- dent at this place in reference to the suf- frage clause which was put before the Constitutional Convention. The grand father" clause seems to meet with more or less disfavor.
 Mir. J. K Dixon, a prominent attorney, said: q think the majority report of the committee very good. though l per sonallv preferred to have the grand father clause left out. However, con tinued MT. Dixon that provision Is about the best way to carry out the party pledges.
 MT. Ii. l.. McElderry, another promi- nent attorney, said T endorse the clause in full with the exception of the grandfather clause.
 Dr. William Taylor, a gentleman noted in Talladega for his conservative views on all important questions, expressed the opinion that "the measure is very good with the exception of the grandfather clause That part of 1t is a myth and looks too much like begging the question and is humlliating" pr. Taylor Is a dis tinRuished ex-Confederate soldier.
 Mir M Jackson, farmer, business man and cotton warehouseman prefers 'that every man should stand on his merits without having to appeal to his ances- tors for the right to vote, but to carry out party pledges the grandfather clause Is the best solution"
 Numerous other such expressions of opinion are heard on all sides by men who are capable of passing Judgment on the question. T. R. WILLIAMS.

A WHITE PRIMARY
 PLAN SUGGESTED

Tucaloosa, July 6-(Special.) = Former State Senator Frank S. Moody, in speak ing of the report of the suffrage commit tee of the constitutional convention, said: '"The report, as a whole, is unfortunate. The evils which it would accomplish would outweigh the good.
 "A white primary is the true remedy. It needs no fraud; it causes no violence; it requires no false swearing or false swearing on the part of either registrars or Inspectors; it shocks no mans sense of justice: it takes away no mans right to vote; it does not controvert the assur- ances of Democratic candidates in lS9Z, '94 and 96; it is simple and efficacious. All that it requires is that the white peo- ple shall be honest and that they shall stick together. Surely, people who are willing to vote for a convention Tn order to stop fraud will not object to plan which calls for honesty. Surely this governing race ought to be willing to stick together as an easy and simple means of possessing white supremacy. A plan can be devised, I think, which would respect the view of both Democrats and Republicans, and would work even in the black belt"
 Charles B. Werner. attorney said: Il am against the grandfather clause of the re- port of the suffrage committee, as l be- iieve 1t to weak subterfuge. l favor the minority report.

his views on the report to the constitu- tional convention of the committee on suffrage, said:
 T think the suffrage provisions report ed by the committee will be accepted by the people as the best that could be de- yised in view of the peculiar difficulties of the situation. The committee is com posed of wise and patriotic citizens, and they. without doubt, gave the subject their best thought The system reported Is necessarily imperfect and is not free from fair criticism, but just how 1t can be improved upon in view of the party pledges and of the prohibitions Of the Federal constitution I do not see.
 'The negro. as such, cannot. even If 1t were wise to do so, be disfranchised. As to the white vote, the party pledges must be sacredly kept. If broken the support of the disfranchised white voter cannot be expected. We all recognize the possible inability of the grandfather clause. The matter is. of course, largely experimental Environed with difficulties such as TO other people ever contended with, we of the south must feel our way to the light as best we can, with a fixed determine ton to purify the ballot and to finally rest it in the hands of those only who are competent to and will use it for the good of the commonwealth"
