BRYCE HOSPITAL REPORT

Montgomery. July 12.-(SpeciaL) L)-Aeting Governor R. NJ Cunningham thinks that while the utterances of Judge Parker com init that gentlemans administration to the gold standard, if he should be elect ed, it by no means commits the party to it. He also believes that there is nothing in the platform t9 prevent good bimetal- ist or gold standardist from supporting it with enthusiasm. In an interview given out this afternoon the governor says
 Tt occurs to me that the platform is declaration of the basic principles of democracy more than a declaration of the policy to be inaugurated It is platform upon which all democrats, regardless of their views upon the monetary standards, can stand. The bimetalist have not been ignored and the gold standard men have not been triumphant, and such a plat form is for the best interest of the de- mocracy. and in my judgment, for the best interests of the government which will be safest in the hands of the dem- ocratic party. To the south the success of the democratic party, under existing conditions, is of the greatest importance.
 '"rhe telegram of Judge Parker demon- strates him to be a man of courage and of honesty. The convention having made no declarations. on the money standard, and Judge Parker having made none pre- viously, and, inasmuch as no official de- claration had been made by anybody, it follows that the nominee could, whether he be a bimetalist or a gold standard mar. with equal propriety, stand upon the platform. Judge Parker being a sim cerc man, simply desired the convention to know his views so that it might name another candidate if it so desired. The reply of the convention that the platform would net preclude nominee of his views from coepting the nomination in effect committed the administration of Judge Parker, should he be elected, to the main- tenanee of the gold standard, but by no means committed the democratic party to this policy. Judge ParKer's honesty and candor will enhance his chances for suc- cess anI under existing conditions no sbi- me,aists can sincerely oppose lim."
 Insane Hospital Books.
 The report of the examination of the books of the Alabama Bryce Insane asy- lum has been filed with Acting Governor Cunningham by Assistant Examiner Wilk- inson. The time covered is from June 3O 1903, to the same day in 1904. The books of the institution are found to be in good condition and the officials are scomplinented- asby the examiner. The books examined were those of the treas urer, Dr. John Little, and Steward W. c. Harris. The text of the report follows:
 Treasurer Little.
 His books, accounts and vouchers are neatly and correctly kept. For all. his expenditures he holds approved vouchers countersigned by the superintendent, and I have checked the same and found the amounts correct. His receipts from June 30. 1903, to June 30, 1904 were $206 S30 with disbursements of $204043. 65 leaving bal ance of $27S6.35 Improvement fund on hand June 3, 1904, $l72O. CT. This fund is accumulated by savings at the asylum from the general appropriation by the state for the purpose of improving the buildings and erecting new ones as the emergency may demand.
 Stewart Harris.
 The examinations of the books &C., counts and vouchers of this officer .em- braces the same time viz: June 30 1903, to June %, 1904. All his accounts and vouchers were carefully examined and checked and found correct. He had on hand June %. the sum of $10o0. .3S.
 This officer makes all purchases of every description for the hospital and l found he had been dilligent in the performance of his duties and prudent in his purchases for the Institution. All moneys coming into his hands from paying patients and articles sold have been properly account ed for as well as money drawn from the treasury for other purposes.
 The management of this great and worthy institution seems to be in good hands, and all the officers and their sub ordinates deeply interested in it's vel fare.
