Cleveland. August 16.AThe convention Of the International Typographical union today unanimc usly indorsed it's officers aud executive council and the officers and executive council of the Stereotypers ana Electrotypers union for their attitude to- ward the Chicago pressmen's strike. The vote ended one of the hottest fights Of the convention.
 The striking pressmen were condemned by the investigating committee for re- fusing to accept proffered arbitration and for having sought to get the 1nterna- tioral Typographical union and allied trades unions into the fight The stereo- Npers in Chicago were found guilty by tne committee of having violated con- tracts, and the strike order itself was de- nounced as "a blunder worse than a crime"
 The committee report practically rei,- erated the statements regarding the strike that had been made before the conven- ton by James J. Freel, president of the siefeotypers. charging. in addition. that certain Chicago daily newspaper, claim iEg to be a labor publication, libeled and ihisrepresented international officers and did all in it's power to keep the strikers Sgitated. ,

Washington, August 16.-President Tatt today made his first political speech since that when notified of his renomination Addressing members af the Maryland Re- publican Editorial ssocation fin the White House. he declared bluntly that presidential electors were dishonest men" if they let their names appear on the republican ballot and intended to vote for the candidate of another party. He asserted that those who were not for the republican party were against it, and should get out of the way.
 ''All we ask is a fair fight; man can not be In the republican party and In a third party at the same time, and should he compelled to make his selection,' said the President.
 d. "Regularty or feeling of regularity and respect for the republican party are go ing to bring over into the republican party many a man who has been doubtful ane fl is going to increase that number, II my judgment, as we approach the election Ii is therefore essential that we make the cleavage as clear as can be made SC that those who are republicans shall DC republicans and those who are with th' bolters shall bear that name and title, W' ought to have electors in each state bear e. v the emblem of the republican party t.ss ring the names of the candidates O tsit party at the head of the ticket, GOV ng the electors who are going to vot' fot those names.

.sBlAGHS.
NORTH ALABAMIANS WANT
 MEDICAL COLLEGE CONSOLIDATED

Most strenuous opposition las come from Mobile, which city is desirous of re- taining it's medical school as q whole. Res idents of that city maintain that the state will inake a mistake in absorbing the Bir mingham Medical college as an adjunct of the university, to be used in connection with the Mobile institution.
 On the other hand. physicians of Bir- mingham and of north Alabama are among the strongesG advocates of the proposed consolidation. The plan as pro- posea by Birmingham looks to the con veyarce of the property of the Birming ham Medical college to the state, and the absorption of that institution as an adjunct of the State university. If this be done the Birmingham school will speci- allze particularly in advanced clinical work, giving a course embracing the last two years of the preparation required for admission by the medical board to prac- tice medicine in the atate. At the same time students who attend the Mobile col lege will have the option of finishing their course at that institution or of taking the last two years in Birmingham.
 The board of trustees will probably con- slider the matter on the 17th of next month, and it is expected that tEe meet ing will be one of the most interesting that the board has yet held. Governor CNeal has not indicated whether or not fe favors the proposed change.

Montgomery. August 16.-(speeial)- of promoting a greater system of judi cial reform than has been inaugurated in Alabama since the state was ad- mitted into the union. He has 1t in his power to give to the people of Ala bama one of the leading principles of Judicial reform for which he has been striving since he assumed office as the chief executive of the state. Whether or not Governor ONeal will put liiis system of legal reform into effect will probably depend upon his selection of a successor to Associate Justice Robe rt Tennent Simpson.
 Governor ONeal will probaly have q hundred or more applications for ap- pointment to the office made vacant by the death of Associate Justice Simp son. Already the governor has received a number of applications, some of whica have been of a personal nature, and accompanied by inducements of friends and representatives of the bar.
 The office of associate justice of the su- preme court, while not a lucrative one flor the successful lawyer, is nevertheless of sufficient honor and dignity to com mand the consideration of probably 99 per cent of the lawyers of the state. There are few who would not accept the office were it rendered to them. It is not prob- able, therefore that there will not be applications from every section and cor ner of Alabama

 Some of the editors told the Presi- dent that either electors chosen for the republican ticket in Maryland would declare their intention to support him or a new state convention would make new selections.
 The President began his speech with brief summary of what the republi- can party stands for He said in part:
 We are republicans. We believe in maintaining the constitution and in progress along the lines that that con stitution indicates. We are protection ists and we are in favor of maintaining the present prosperity by maintaining a tariff system which shall preserve bus mess as fl goes on now and shall secure as high wages a possible to the wage earners and reasonable profit to those who invest their capital Those two propositions cover good deal of re- publicanism.
 Being q party, we are anxious to have the opinions that our party rep resents put into force in the opera ton of the government. We have 60 be a single party and not part of two parties. 1 don't think we are unfair in asking that we be given a chance for a fair fight and in counting those against us who are not with us. To have man on both sides of the fight when we are on ono side Is uncom- fortable, especially when he is behind you.
