GEN. N.OATESWnLRUN
HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR ALTER
 NATE SENATOR.
In am Address to People, He Says He Shares fin Public Respect for Morgan and
 PetfuA.

Gen. W. c. Oates of Montgomery yes terday announced his candidacy for the nomination as alternate United states Senator.
 This will be gratifying news to every section of Alabama as General Oates Is known in every community in the States and wherever he is known he possesses warm friends.
 In announcing his candidacy, Gen erai Oates issued the following state ment to the public:
 ITO the People of Alabama:
 ,"Before the late meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee, wrote to several of it's members urging them to order a primary for the nomi- nation of candidates for United States Senators as we'll as for other State of- ficers. I knew that there could not be any primary unless ordered by this committee. The committee ordered 1t, for the nomination of two Senators and two alternates. but on an altogether different basis.
 senators, by the plan, are to be chosen by the respective counties and State Senatorial districts, on the legis- lative apportionment, which is on popu- lation, and any plurality. If of only one vote, in any county or district, will in- struct its Representatives and Senator to cast their votes for the candidates receiving that plurality. It will thus be seen that this plan of nomination IS confounded with the constitutional re- quirement for the election of Senators by the Legislature, which does not re- quire that a candidate to be success full shall receive Q plurality of the Democratic vote of the State, but only a majority of the mebreship of the Leg islature. What desired was a pri' mary for the nomination of Senators by the vote of the qualified white Demo crats of the State, in which each man's vote would count just as much as that of any other. This is surely Demo- cratic. That method would have as' certained the choice of the Democrats of the State for Senators, and members of the Legislature could, in this way have been instructed to vote for the party nominees as well as in any other ana there would have been no compi' | cation about it. But as a loyal party man I acduiesce in the action of thu committee
 The plan of the committee for th' nomination of two alternates. for ap 1 pointment by the Governor in case of 1 i vacancy, though novel. Is a fair one | The vote of every Democrat in this SC lection will count equally with that o any other and the nomination will b made for the entire State, the two re r ceiving the highest number of vote will be the choice of the Democrats 0

learn whether, on account of their ad-
 vanced ages and great honors already received, they might not retire from the burdens of labor to spend quiet after i noon of life, but they entertain diff ferent opinion and have each announced | his candidacy for re-election. They Fare men of great ability. are highly es- teemed and have been 80 long in the public service that considerate and | conservative men seem to feel that to refuse to return them, now that they | have requested reelection, would man. | ifest a lack of confidence and humili- | ate them, which none of the people wish | to do. share in that feeling. In ad-
 dition to this consideration, they are Confederate veterans, whose ranks are rapidly becoming attenuated. No one
 honors more than I. faithful Confed- crate soldier. I always hesitate to an- | tagoniZe one of the brethren and never l fail to vote for one when q candidate l if he be worthy and well-qualified. In this Senatorial contest there Is no vital political question involved, but
 only a matter of personal preference among Democrats.
 For the foregoing, among other req sons, though many of my friends have | solicited me. decline to run for Sena- | tor; but as I desire at some time to en- | joy the great honor of representing my State in the United States Senate. hereby announce myself candidate for alternate Senator under the plan of the committee.
 T have no combination with any one,
 but stand on whatever individual mer- cts I may possess. I have given the
 best years of my life to the faithful service Of the State, in war and in peace. and now in the mature years of
 elderly manhood. most respectfully re- quest of the people generous expres-
 sion of their confidence.

Britt t-NeIson right Reproduced.

Battling Nelson of some place with an unspellable name in Illinois, last night won the lightweight champion ship of the world from James Edward Britt of California at the Bijou Thea Ire.
 A large crowd of MontEomerians saw the battle faithfully portrayed by the best moving picture machine ever seen in this city.
 There have been fight pictures and fight pictures, but never was there a more spirited battle portrayed by as good pictures as the bout between the two little fellows at Colma, California, which gave the lightweight champion ship to the Scandinavian from Illinois over the dressy native son" The pictures that were presented last night were remarkable in their detail In the first place some time was con | sumed with panoramic view or the | immense crowd that saw the light crowd is always interesting ana a prize. fight crowd is especially so With l faithful regard for detail all or the pro- hattie scenes were given. Persons saw | Tim Jeffries, as natural as life, in- l troduced and saw him make a speech. They saw the two little fellows, pig mics by the side of the greatest of them all. introduced and saw them pose for | the army of newspaper men. They | they saw the fight.
 The people who are furnishing the entertainment endeavor to regulate the machine so that each round pictured occupies the regulation three minutes, and the audience is enabled to ob- serve in detail the action of each fighter
 History has recorded that this was probably the greatest mill ever fought | between lightWeights, and a person who enjoys this sort of thing, Is bound to shake hands with himself for being able to see such things accurately DOT trayed without riding to California.
 There is absolutely nothing coarse in the entertainment unless looking al pictures of a prize fight is coarse.
 Tho large audience was orderly, all though during the more spirited rounds the applause was as hearty as a crowd of it's size could make it.
 The pictures will be presented throughout the week.

NEoorIAr1oNH nrn GERMANY.
Little Hope That Threatened Tariff Trouble
 Cmn be Avoided.


 Washington. Feb. 12.--It Is said at the state department that there has been much correspondence with the government of Ger many respecting the trade treaty of 1S2S as an Incident to the general effect to avert the application of the German maximam tariff rates on American products en tns first of next month.
 Curiousiy' enough the German position now is exactly opposed to that which Germany assumed in Mir. Cleveland's administration. when the Germans sought to secure under the favored nation clause the banefifs Of free sugar ,aecorded to the Hawaiian Isi- ands by reciprocity treaty with the United states.
 our government took an advanced posi- ton at that time and insisted that such claim would not lie unless the conditions were exactly similar. Germany now con l tends that as this country does not Sas fit | to enter the reciprocity treaty with her. ths American government cannot claim advan- | taees enjoyed by other countries with which | Germany has treaties by invoking the fA- vored nation clause
 | IL is said that tho arrangement madA under section of the Dingiey act which | has governed our trade relations with Ger many up to this moment was entAfed into wit hthe purpose of settling the controversy as 10 the efficacy of the favored nation | clause which has been in progress for sev- | eral years between the two Eovernmeuts | Finally it can be stated that nothina hal | developed recently to afford any hope that | the application Of tho German maximum du- ties can be averted
