SCULPTOR MORETTI
 IS IN BIRMINGHAM
COMES TO COMPLETE ARRANGE MENTs FOR THE ERECTION OF THE BRONZE STATUE OF THE LATE DR. DAVIS.

signor Guiseppi Moretti, sculptor of Vulcan and of the monument to honor the late Dr. W. E. B. Davis, arrived in the city yesterday morning for the pur- pose of completing some arrangements for the erection of the latter statue. which is to go in Capitol park.
 MT. Moreth has just completed statue of the late Governor Goebel in Lexing- ton, Ky, and he expects in about three weeks to have the statue of Dr. Davis in Birmingham ready to be put up in the park.
 The statue was first made in clay, and then cast in bronze and is said to be an excellent likeness of the physician who was one of the most prominent men in Birmingham. The likeness about the head and shoulders is especially striking, and the sculptor believes that the statue will give future posterhy a fine concep- ton of the Birmingham man who had an international reputation in his chosen profession.
 The statue of pr. Davis will probably arrive in Birmingham about November 20, and 1t will be erected on the pedestal  | will be unveiled on December IA. It Is being built by the Southern Surgical and I Genealogical society, and will be about eighteen feet high, including the pedestal. which Is about nine feet high.
 The statue will be located at the head of Twentieth street just to the right of | the pedestal for the Confederate monu- l ment which Is to be erected
 A meeting of the Southern Surgical and Genealogical society will be held here December l5-16, and the statue will be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies while the society Is In session.
 city, is out for Parker and Davis. Col. Allen has known Theodore Roosevelt all most from fboyhood and if anybody is in doubt as to whether Roosevelt Is a proper man to be elected as president of 1 the United States, he should write to | Colonel Allen, 115 broadway. Friends of MT. Blaine especially would do well to | get in touch wlth Colonel Allen. Col. | Allen is not a disgruntled republican, but a disgusted one. lie seeks no notoriety and would accept no office under any president.
 Ex-President Cleveland's s speech at Car negie hall has made an impression upon the minds of wavering voters which the republicans will not easily remove. It has also added greatly to the enthusiasm of the democrats and independents who had l already made up their minds to vote Tor Judge Parker and Judge Herrick.
 The administration Is said to have come pretty near swearing when informed that the two Filipino lads placed at school at 1 the State Normal school In Bloomington, | Ind, at the expense of the government. had appeared on the platform with MT. Bryan and made impassiohed speeches pleading with the American people to give their country it's freedom, At first" says a Washington correspondent, MT. Roose- welt thought seriously of calling the boys to account, but sober second thought led him to the conclusion that such a course would make martyrs of them, and perhaps hurt Roosevelt at the polls" So, l one may surmise, the matter will be held in abeyance until after election, and not taken up then, If MT. Roosevelt Is de- | feated.
 In conclusion: The democratic tide is rising; the final campaigning on the demo- cratic side is full of ginger" the demo- cratic managers are more than hopeful. l they are confident of victory. Ther is l absolutely nothing to warrant the bluff fling and bragglng of the republicans un- less 1t be true that the presidency of the United States can be won by brag and buster plus the corrupt use of money. The democratic managers do not believe the people are fools or knaves. They look for a surprise that will not be pleasing to the accidental President, who is so anxious to be endorsed that he allies him | self with Addicks In one little state and l with the Mormon church in another.
