Committees rule may do well to reflect
that. IL they are Democrats. there is ut
tie ground for complaint left them. IL
they are not Democrats. we care nothing
for their meditations.
'The State Committee has granted the
demand for a state primary, has adopt
ed regulations and fixed the qualifications.
In obedience to the highest law. that of
preserving the integrity and guarding the
welfare of the party, the committee has
asked for a direct nomination of the
party's Candidates and has made quail
fication that will absolutely bar out no
one who is really Democrat.

still do believe that the Logic of the
adoption of the new Constit@ means
even more than this We have not met
any one who will deny the soundness Of
our premise, but even those who do not
deny, skip lightly by when 1t comes to
accepting the inevitable conclusion. But
we are done with that. now that the au-
thority we have expressly appealed to has
decided the matter. We are quite con-
tent with the result, for 1t will be a val
liable campaign to Democracy and of
value to Alabama IL what was laid down
in theory yesterday in Montgomery works
out well in practice.
? at Is an experiment we confess, and
not wholly on what we believe to be the
best lines, but we are committed to 1t as
a party and 1t is our bounden duty as
members of that party to do our utmost
to make 1t a success. The press of Ala
bama, that has always done its duty to
the people-and done 1t cheerfully and
without reward-will not fail now to stand
for the old party and to see that its full
strength is put forth"

In CANADA'S DEFENSE
EXPLANATION OF oREENE-aAY-
NOR CASE.
Report That the United States Will
Protest to the Imperial Gov
ment 10 Discredited in
the Dominion.

Toronto, Ont, July 11.-A dispatch to
the Globe from Ottawa, Ont, says:
Surprise is expressed here at the COM
plant by legal representative Of United
States that vexatious delays have oc-
CURED in connection with the extradition
of Messrs. Gaynor and Greene. and the
reported intention of the Washington au-
thorities to complain to the imperial gov
eminent is scarcely credited.
The case is In the courts and If counsel
for the prisoners take advantage of the
technicalities in the interest of their eli
ents. delays are unavoidable. But for this
perhaps the Federal authorities are not
to be held responsible.
The law clearly sets forth the course to
be followed in an extradition case. Judg-
| ment must be rendered in accordance
with the facts brought out. Should the
evidence justify commitment for extra
dition, the Judge or extradition commits
sion forwards the evidence to the De-
partment of Justice at Ottawa, together
with his report when the latter issues a
warrant for extradition. The department
has no right to intervene unless the Of
tense which extradition Is sought is q
political one. Sufficient grounds for ex-
tradition of the accused can be estab-
lished the two men will be handed over
in due course"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-07-12

New York, July 11.-There was much
discussion at the court house and In the
legal offices over the latest developments
OF the Gaynor- Greene cases, says q Que
bee dispatch to The Times. the balance of
opinion being in opposition to the preten-
sions of the United States authorities
and the report thereto by Marion Erwin
c. A. Pentland, X. c., of the firm re-
tanned by the United States authorities.
refused, however, to talk Of the matter.
He said:
I'VE make no comments 10 newspapers
we reserve our opinion for our clients
and we are not looking for advertising"
This probably very fairly represents the
opinion OF the lawyers who are represent
ing the United States. They are content
simply to await developments.
Hon. s. N. Paret. premier of the prov
kce of Quebec, said:
II was much amused at the latest move
OF the United States authorities. AS for
the charges against the minister of JUS
tice and myself. they are simply ridicu-
lous. We are both in public life ana have
no time for cases. but the fact that Mr..
Taschereau is in partnership with as
should not prevent him from making q
living by his profession, and at any rate
granted that we have followed the case
with some interest, what effect can that
have? We are lawyers. not judges, and
so long as the case is in the court any
interference by us would be an impossi-
bility.
Speaking OF the case itself, however,
the United States authorities were badly
advised when they openly stated that
they could not get Justice in proceeding
against the prisoners in Quebec. By these
means they aroused bitter public opin-
ion against themselves and the sensa-
tional way in which the case began by
the kidnapping of the prisoners did not
strengthen their case. The later develop
ments of the case. when the second writs
were served, simply showed that the
counsel for the defense were little more
alert than their opponents.
Mr. Chauveau said that undoubtedly
he had made a mistake in being the son
of an extradition commissioner, but now
that such was the case, he trusted that
the plaintiffs would overlook 1t and per-
NIT him to practice his profession as an
advocate.
The case will come UP this morning.
Mr. McMaster, for the United States.
will move to quash the latest writs of
habeas corpus. Instead of an adjourn
ment It Is considered lily that the dis
cussion of the merits of the case will
proceed Immediately unless there Is some
further understanding between the law

JOHNSTON WILL NOT TALK.
Ex-Governor Quietly Returned to
Birmingham Yesterday.


Former Governor Joseph F. Johnston OF
Birmingham. who has been in Montgom-
cry since Wednesday watching the work
of the Democratic Executive Committee.
went to Birmingham at o'clock yester-
day afternoon without giving any indica-
ton of his future political plans.
The Birmingham Ex-Governor said be-
fore the Committee had formulated its
plan, that he would have something to
say after the details Were made public
but until that time he would keep per-
feetly quiet.
And the Ex-Governor adhered to his de-
cision to be quiet. He was not seen
about the city court room where the
State Committee held ats meetings. He
was occasionally in the hotel Hobbies.
where he met his friends and he held
conferences with Hon. Jesse F. Stallings
of Montgomery, Hugh Wilson of Opelika,
State Senator Pulley Of Huntsville. and
others.
While the State Committee was at work
yesterday aft arnoon framing the qualih-
cstiCns for voters In the forthcoming
Democratic primary. former Governor
Johnston was hurrying to a train which
left for Birmingham at o'clock. Pre-
sumably his friends advised him OF the
action of the Committee.
"Win Governor Johnston be candi-
date for Governor?" one of these friends
was asked.
"well. he was In a happy humor when
he told me good bye" he replied and
I think we may expect some sort Of an
nouncement from him tomorrow"
A special to The Advertiser from Bir-
mingham says:
governor Johnston arrived here to-
night on the accommodation train and
Immediately repaired to his residence.
when called up by telephone. he said
he had not heard all that the committee
had done and would not be willing to-
night to make a statement on the politi-
cal situation, or rather until he had fully
heard of the committees action"

Willing to Paw 100000.

Washington. July 11.-Marion Erwin
the special assistant to the Attorney Gen
eral in the prosecution Of the charges
against Gaynor and Greene, today made

charge of Mr.. Taschaheau. of counesl for
Gaynor and Greene. made in the Quebec
court. that he ERWIN had offered n
drop the case against the defendants II
they would pay 100000 to the United
States government:
There Is nothing in the statement from
Quebec that I offered TO settle the case
for $500, 900 except this:
when the prisoners were taken to
Montreal, Benjamin J. Greene, in con-
versation with me. which he requested,
stated that ne and John F. Gaynor would
he willing to pay the government 100000,
in settlement of the whole controversy.
I replied that the sum stated was not
sufficiently large for me to mention 1t to
the Attorney General. /, however, did
mention II to the Attorney General, Mr..
Knox. who said that my answer was the
appropriate one"
