AN ADDRESS
To the Delegates to the Alabama State
 Republican Convention.

As there are two separate delegations from Mobile county to the Alabama State Republican convention, 1t Is proper that the other delegates to the state conven- tion should have before them a concise statement of the conditions and circum- stances which led up to, and the cause of, the unfortunate situation, in order that they may vote intelligently as to which delegation should be seated in the convention, should the matter be contest ed before the convention.
 On November Is, 1901, twenty-three re- publicans met and organized the Mobile Republican club. They adopted as their platform supremacy of the intelligent voter, equal protection of the law to all persons, and the propagation of the prin- ciples of the republican party.
 A report of the organization of the club, and a list of some of it's organizers appeared in the Mobile newspapers next morning.
 When the Thompson congressional party visited Mobile, about thirty mem- bers of the club attended the public re- ception given in honor of the party. No other organization attended the recep- tion. The club now numbers several hum dred.
 The club was organized for the purpose of aiding the regular republican organiza- tion in the county, and not for the pur- pose of assisting any faction.
 When the republican conference was called in Birmingham August l. 1902 five members of the club responded to the call. As there were two gentlemen in Mobile, each claiming to be the regu- lar chairman of the republican county executive committee. the representatives of the club present at the conference. endeavored to learn which was in fact the regular chairman, recognized by the state committee, so that they could as good republicans, cooperate with the reg ular chairman and respond to his call when issued
 With this end in view Messrs. J. H. Locke and w. H. Armbrecht of Mobile. members of the club. went to Hon. Will liam Vaughan. in the hall where the con- ference was held. immediately after it's adjournment and asked Mr William Vaughan. chairman of the state executive committee, who was the regular chair man of the Mobile county republican executive committee, recognized as such by the state executive committee, and who would be authorized to make the caIl for Mobile county. Mr Vaughan replied IS. A. Leonard is the county chairman in Mobile county
 At the meeting of the state executive committee held August 2, the following resolution was adopted:
 County conventions and meetings for the purpose of electing delegates to state and district conventions and for the transaction of other business must be held on Saturday. August 30, 1902 at such time and place as the county chair man may designate in all the counties where action has not already been ta- ken"
 This resolution was brought to the at tention of the club and they waited until fhe county chairman should issue his call
 On August 20 the following call was

VETERANS THANK
 GEN. E. VARIANCE
FEELING OF sRoTHERLY LOVE SHOWN TOWARDS COMMANDER OF c. A. R. BY Ex-coNFEoER- ATES OF ALABAMA.

Montgomery, September 15.-tspecial)- The following resolutions was passed by Confederate veterans here today:
 We, the members of Camp Falkner, United Confedefate veterans. in special meeting assembled. take this. the earliest opportunity, of expressing to Gen. Ell Torrance, commander of the Grand army of the republic. our heartfelt appreciation of his recent and generous act of kind ness in appealing to all the people of this country for help for the Confederate home at Mountain Creek.
 "The appeal of General Terrence was unexpected and unsolicited, and came from heart that is big enough to take in all men that are in distress. He came among us and was received as a friend and comrade by those to whom the bit terness of war is but a memory
 His every utterance showed that for those against whom he had stood in bat tie he had only friendship, and for those who were unfortunate. whose misfor- tunes have outlasted the war. his heart overfiows with tenderness and sympa thy. We send back to him and all those who cooperate with him a greeting In the spirit of coniradeship. of gratitude and of our common citizenship.
 'sTo those whose contributions have come and are coming in response to his call we send our simple thanks. assuring them that every dollar will go to com fort and sustain some old veterans whose days are heightened and whose spirits are sweetened by this evidence of sympa- thy from men whose valor they once tested and whose patriotism they never doubted, and whose broad human fel- lowship is nobler and better than any charity"

The commissioner Of building and loan
associations makes q special report to the
governor, In advance of his annual report
and as part thereof, as to the condition
of the Middlesex Banking company of
Middletown.
So unusual an occurrence as the MAX
ing of special official report to the gov
ernor, as TO the condition of the Connec-
ticut financial corporation, giving the
story of prolonged and exhausted ex-
animation Of the extended business of the
corporation, whose operations are scat
tered over many states, not only In the
east but In the west and south. deserves
more than passing notice.
Especial interest also is attached to
this report, for the reason that 1t relates
to q corporation chartered nearly thirty
years ago by the Connecticut Legislature,
which, from small beginnings, has grown
into one of the largest financial enter
prises Of the State, surviving almost all
of its many competitors, who succumbed
under the pressure of the conditions pre-
vailing during the years following the
panic of 1898.
The Middlesex Banking company has
paid promptly all of It's obligations which
have matured, and Mr.. Webster's pains
him to the gratifying conclusion that its
assets are substantial and sufficient to
care for those yet outstanding, and that
its business has been honestly and ably
managed.
The management of the company, which
is practically the same which organized
the business and has carried 1t on since
1875, may we'll be satisfied with the find
ing of the commission, and the state Of
Connecticut Is to be congratulated upon
the thorough and conscientious work Of
