PoPULIsTs DID RIGHT.
Patterson Says They Should Have Sup
 ported Democratic Party.

Denver, Col, January 2-Thomas M Patterson, who was permanent chairman of the Popuist National Convention in 1900, and is one of the leading candidates for United States Senator before the pres ent Legislature, commenting upon the ac- ton of eight Populist Senators, who yes- terday proclaimed their allegiance to the Democratic party, declares they did the Common sense and practical thing and adds:
 All silver men must stand with Mr. Bryan and the Western Democracy in this fight Silver men can best aid their Dem ocratic friends from within the emocrat- ac citadel. They can, in caucus, in prima- ries, in conventions and at elections, do their part to strengthen the arm of Bryan and otherwise overthrow the gold bug contingent of the Democratic party in it's announced assault upon the Democratic principles which secured from Colorado thirty thousand majority for the Bryan electors.

COMMITTEE HARD AT WORK

Age-Herald Bureau, Claneey Hotel, Montgomery, January 2.-(Special.) 1.-The special committee appointed by the Gen. eral Assembly to examine into the con- ditions of the State convict department, promises some rather sensational devel- opments.
 The committee organized yesterday with a competent corps of clerks. The sessions are being held at Clanceys Hotel Seven of the eight members were present, in cluding Representatives Brooks of Mo- bile,. Benners of Jefferson, Arnold of Cal houn, Pettus of Limestone and Seibes of Montgomery, and Senators Moore of Bibb and Hipp of Blount. Senator Goldsby of Mobile arrived this morning, but Senator Moore forced to return to Birming- ham last night.
 A number of witnesses have been exam ined by the committe, including ex-Deputy Warden w. w. Jones, Assistant Clerk Tate and Col. J. J. Flowers. The sessions of the committee are executive, but if ru- mors can be relied upon some very sen- sational testimony has already been ad- duced. It is said that some of this testi- mony reflects upon the administration of former Governor Johnston in uncompli- mentary terms.
 It is believed that the committee will remain in session during the entire holi- days.

A CAPITAL DEFENSE.
Nebraska's New Law Will be Hard or
 kidnappers.

Lincoln, Neb., January 2.-Senator Ran- som of Omaha introduced in the State Senate today bill to make Kidnapping, under certain conditions punishable by death It provides for three grades of pun ishment. For simple Kidnapping three to five years in the penitentiary; for kidnap- ping and extorting money, life term in prison, and for kidnapping and threaten ing injury to the victim, hanging. Three other bills bearing on kidnapping and not greatly different in phraseology were in troduced.
 The present Nebraska statute on this crime is regarded as very lame, and good authorities question whether, for the act of abduction alone, a conviction would be possible With members of the Legisla- ture in their present temper one of these bills is pretty sure to be given right of way.
