QUESTION THE NOMINATION.
Some Republicans Doubt Regularity
of SternfeId's Selection.

Montgomery, September 23.-(Special)-
Leading republicans here are denying
the regularity of the nomination of
Julius Sternfeld for congress In the Sec
ond. or Montgomery, district against
Col A. A. Wiley. During the state con-
vention at Birmingham the announce
ment was made on what was taken TO be
good authority and there seems really
to have been some action by the dele
gates from the district on the subject.
The claim is now that 1t was not a
nomination. and that In due time it is
proposed to have a regular convention
and put out some one who will go into
the fight to win, or rather to try and
win. 1t will be recalled that Mr.. Stern
field, at the time. expressed his indispo-
sition to oppose SO close a friend as Col
onel Wiley, who had really been bene-
factor to him In politics. The local re-
publicans do not regard his nomination
as in any way a serious opposition to
Colonel Wiley, and hence their refusal
to ratify what they claim was mere
informally.

the faintest possibility Of suspicion:

before me the open pages OF book,
which a glance showed me was a

writing l read the details of the mar
riage of Matthew H TO Ellen R.

country village. / asked for ticket,
and was told by the clerk that the train
in the direction | wished TO go had left
some time ago, but that another train
was due in half an hour, and he prom
ised to call me.
l felt no surprise at receiving a
ticket without giving the name Of the
place to which l wished 10 travel. To
my great annoyance. however, the
man neglected TO call me when the
train arrived, and again l had TO wait
for another This time was more
successful, and after journey of just
under an hour l alighted at pretty
little country station.

the vicar, but was informed that he
was not at home. I then begged the

TO lend me the key of the church. At
first she hesitated, but when l per-
sisted, saying | was myself a clergy
man of the Anglican church, she ac-
ceded TO my request.
