Bankhead Talks of German.

Probably the most active advocate in the Houe of Senator German for Presi- dent is Representative John H. Bank head of Alabama. MT. Bankhead, who has just returned from Alabama, this evening had a long conference with the Maryland Senator.
 The Alabama Congressman, after seeing Mir. German, was asked as to the truth of the report that the Senator had :n mind requesting his friends not to com sider his name in connection. with the nomination for President, and said that 1t could be stated with perfect safety that Senator German had never given the slightest hint upon which such a state- ment could be made.
 Mir. German. he said. was, as he had been all adong. gratifled by the partiality of his friends. but intended himself to do no act which could be construed that he was seeking the nomination. More over, MT. Bankhead insisted that Senator German was intensely interested in the success of the Democratic party, and from a purely patriotic inspiration; that he would not hesitate to do all that he could to eliminate himself from the cal cuIations of his friends. if 1t appeared to the majority of Democrats that Parker was the strongest man. especially in New York. who could be nominated.

 Al the last meeting of the Committee sfour years ago, Henry c. Payne, Com .,itteeunan for wisconsin, now Postmaster

 Register Lyons was opposed to the idea Ahen on the grounds which he will still Srnaintain at Fridays meting of tho Com Unittee. Among his several reasons was me that 1t was not fair to apportlon zdelegates from Southern States on cleo Hon returns which might not show the frue number of votes cast; another was that the district votes was the oasls TOT a unit. and a third was that no change should be made since none was mane to- ward a reduction of the numDer oh hep- &resentativesIJin Congress.

than fifty years, last Saturday mOTn-
ing by the pastor, Rev. 8. j. Cartledge,

returned to Anderson County, and set
tied near his cid home. about four miles

Lafayette and the Confederate Soldier

century ago, when that knightly and
chivalrOus hero, Lafayette, passed
through this beautiful city, springs
balmiest and most radiant sunbeams
had kissed into generous bloom the
flowers OF wintry March, and these
first offerings of spring were laid by
and streets, and in the dust, that the
foot OF that gallant son Of France
should tvead this rare and radiant path
way of sweetest perfume, and with the
queenly rOses there lay the lily flags,
the "Fleur de Lis" of his own loved
land, he won the affections of the
stern-browed and iron -souled warriors
of glory surrounded him and he was
hailed by all the world as the Apostle
of Liberty! Lafayette was received
with open arms by the warm hearted
and .chivalrOus sons Of South Carolina
and was entertained in the large and
commOdiOus house on GervRis street
