Except for a strong well knit figure that showed through a perfectly fit- ting suit of gray he seemed too young to be engaged in such struggle Not withstanding the Mobile mans youth full appearance. there was mot man in the convention who as he looked upon him knew that nature had fitted him for the orator not only in the handsome exterior but in the rich and melodious voice that never siurred over a syllable of the English lan- guage, or fell short of throwing the harmonious accent to the place ap- pointed 1t by eloquence. His coolness gave him an advantage over his older opponent and his splendid voice ac- centuated that adantage. As he made a clear and lucid argument
 "The distinguished gentleman from Jefferson speaks in a foreign tongue said Major Robinson. in closing. There is no place in the Democratic party. There is no place in Democratic con- vention for talk of war to the hilt. God grant that he win never again life his eloquent voice against his fellow Dem-, ocrats, that firm his lips never again in a Democratic convention shall such words come"
 And at this the convention went wild with enthusiasm.

Two raps Of the gavel were necessary to secure the at- tention of the 614 delegates to the business of the session. MT.

Barnes of Lee County. The temporary sec retaries, he said. would be R. F. L. Mel of Dallas and General w. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa. CHAIRMAN BARNES SPEAKS. Chairman Barnes, mounting to the platform spoke as follows: For your evidence of esteem and confidence permit me to express my thanks. have no words to express my gratitude at receiving the unso- licited honor of acting as Chairman of an integral body of party which represents in it's essentials the prin- lciples of JeffersoniAn Democracy. 'sThis party, after years Of credit able history is again preparing to op- pose centralization of power and the abuses of a plutocracy. And when. under the leadership of William J. l Bryan, or some other Democratic lead CT, 1t again is triumphant, Alabama will be found in the foremost ranks" At the mention of Bryan's name, a tremendous burst of applause burst from the floor of the Convention. As Mir.
