Even so, I dare, venture the assertion that the simmering west at this time of writing has nothing on grilled Chicago. Along about Saturday night, if prevalent tenn peratures continue and the expected deadlock holds on, the few surviving delegates will undoubtedly throw over board every candidate who weighs more than 175 pounds, which will be good hy- giene if not good politics, seeing that by then every stoutish aspirant will be too badly spilled to keep, and select for their standardbearer some long, lean, slim person warranted to withstand any climate.
 This utterly eliminates me from con- sideration as a compromise candidate 1 might compromise politically. but my figure never has. Likewise. it strengthens the chances of my teammate, R. Lard ner, Esq, who measures six feet four one way and five and one-quarter inches the other. Lardner is ideally built to be a standard bearer With his vest unbuttoned he looks like a flag at half mast. He has melting eyes, but there is nothing else about him that could melt, even in this weather. There is absolutely no danger that he would run down the platform and spoil It. However. the resolutions as offered this afternoon do not please him. I have sug- gested to him my ideal platform. which suits him, too. It consists of four plarks namely: Wines, ales, liquors and cigars I have decided that if neither of the great parties puts up an avowedly wet nominee, I shall vote for whichever one of them looks most like a secret drunkard. On this point also Lardner is with me.
 Other than advancing the offer of this small boost on behalf of my one-way cenferee, I decline to venture any prophesy, however tentative, as to the outcome of the balloting-when it starts.

NEGRO TO HANG AT
 LAFAYETTE JULY 23

Montgomery, June 10.-CSpecia1)--
 Lee Watts. negro farm hand of Cham
 bers county, will be hanged in the county jail at Lafayette July 23 for the murder of Davis Simpson. The su- preme court Thursday declined to , grant the negro another trial and or dered the sheriff of Chambers county to see that he was put to death be- tween the hours of Q o'clock and i o'clock of July 23.
 Watts made his plea for another trial on the contention that the trial judge failed to affix his signature to the minute entries when he pronounced the death sentence. The supreme court ruled that this argument was not suf- ficient and that the, court merely is
 required to sign his name in approval
 of the proceedings of each day in his court
 TevGmony in Watts case showed
 that Simpson was foreman of the plan tation on which Watts was employed
 as farm laborer that they engaged in a dispute over Watts treatment of a mule and that Watts shot Simpson several times.

BOND FORFEITITRE IS
 CANCELLED BY GOVERNOR

Montgomery, June lo.-tSpeciaD.- - Absence of proof that Jesse Maclin of Limestone county was not killed in action in France caused Governor Kilby Thursday to direct the issuance of an order cancellng the forfeiture of two bonds which held Maclin to answer charges of assault with intent to murder and carrying concealed weapon.
 Maclin enlisted while at liberty on bond, which was signed by eight citi- zens of Limestone county. Reports came back that he died while serving his country The war department never verified the reports, but no proof could be obtained that he was alive.
