The speech of DR.. Holmes was most
appropriate and dwelt at length on the
good and faithful work that has been
performed in the state in an unpreten-
tlous manner by the dean of the geolog-
ical department, Dr. Eugene A. Smith.
The speaker was introduced by Presi-
dent Abercrombie in few well-chosen
words, in which he briefly reviewed the
evolution of the scientific department and
the museum of the state geological sur
vey, which is part of the university.
Dr. Holmes spoke as follows:
From time to time as / have examined

geology and resources of Alabama have
wondered when the people Of this good

of the value of his work. and would show

Mayor Gaynor Receptive Candidate.

New York, Sept. 5.-Friends Of
Mayor Gaynor who have visited him at
his home ut st. James, where he is re-
covering from the effects OF all assas
sims bullet, say that il nominated as the
democratic candidate for governor he
will accept. He will not become an
active candidate for the nomination,
they say, and would prefer TO serve his
term as mayor, but if drafted" he will
accept believing he should do all he
can to rcunite and solidify the party
in this state.
The sentiment for Gaynor's nomina-
ton by the democratic state convention
which meets at Rochester on Septem-
Der 90, is almost unanimous upstate,
his friends say. They argue that his
past pledges that he would serve out
his term as mayor will have to be dis
regarded.
He has so far reformed the city gov
eminent that he could turn over the
work to acting Mayor Mitchell, who is
Young and ambitious, and would fol-
low in the lines laid down by Gaynor.
The latter could, if elected governor,
cooperate with Mitchell as mayor.
Democratic politicians, who are not
inclined to be sentimental, however,
predict that if Gaynor is the democratic
nominee for governor, Hearst would
run independently against him, which
would give the republican candidate a
distinct advantage.
