CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.


ALI seem to concede now that the
suffrage question is practically settled,
The democratic conference yesterday
considered the details of the Glaes plan
section by section. Several amend
ments applying ID details were adopt
ed. The Indications now are that the
conference will fiDish the suffrage plan
today, when 1t will be turned over to
the convention. Some OF the represen-
tatiyes of the black belt prefer to fight
the plan there, but the indications are
that their fight is lost and little or no
more serious obstacles can be thrown in
t1e way Of an early settlement OF the
suffrage question.
All the amendments were added at
the afternoon session allowing counties
by act OF legislature to place property
qualifics of $3.50 on voters In local
elections 10 the counties, This was to
placsts the black belt, where prop
eity qualification was bitterly fought
for.
Capt. Parks led movement to dis
franchise any person or candidate who
offers or accepts a bride. Judge Rich
mond and Mr.. Glass strongly advo'
Gated the amendment, but the vote
was deferred. Several sections over
which there was no contest we're sp-
proved, aud the conference took the
usual recess.
Some OF the most prominent mem
bere OF the convention think that be-
fore the question of determining
whether the Constitution, when it shall
have been adopted, shall be submitted
to the people. recess will be taken to
permit the members to ascertain the
sentiments of their constituents.

didates. The resolution directs the
committee also to inquire as to how such
money, if expended, was raised, and
TO ascertain, go far as possible, the effect
which the expenditure OF money had
upon the result, and the extent to which
the voters were debauched. The pre-
amble OF the resolution states that rep
utable newspapers and citlzens have
repeatedly stated that money was
frauduleutly used In these elections,
both By voluntary contribution and by
q system OF assessment upon Office
holders. Mr.. Pou declares that II suf
frage conditions are to be Investigated
that the intimidation OF the electorate
by the use of money ought also to be
inquired into. The movement meets
with the hearty appreciation of most
people who for years have watched the
procedures which the resolution Is de.
