 Will
.(Anniston Bureau)

sANNISToN, Ala, May S.--Indorse- ment of the movement to make city park out of the lots adjacent the Boy Scout hall on Gurnee avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets was given by the Anniston Chamber of Com merce Wednesday afternoon at it's May meeting.
 The chamber went on record as fa4 voring the plans of the city in taking up the offer made in the will of the late Col ". H. Finn, local philan- thropist, who offered to give the Boy Scout building and the adjacent lots to the city to be used as park and to establish maintenance fund of $10,- GOO. The remaining lots in the block can be bought for $16, 900, it is stated. Considerable agitation has been started by various civic organizations for a park in Anniston and it is pointed out that this is the only city of approxi- mately S0OO0 population that has no public park.
 Among. the speakers appearing be- fore the chamber were Scott Roberts, W. w Stringfellow, Luther Lisles and Mai. T. H. Monroe, commander at Camp Mcclellan.

 |THE democratic convention of 1884
 touched it's top temperature when
 General Bragg, standing in the Chicago wigwam, declared that ''the democrats of Wisconsin loved Cleve- land, not only for his integrity, but most of all for the enemies he had made"
 Every man within sound of the gen erals voice knew that s'the enemies in mind were the Tammany boss, John Kelly, and his Braves. Those who ap- proved cheered those who disapproved jeered. The Tammany contingent did a war dance to the accompaniment of derisive shouts, while General Bragg waited for the commotion to subside be- fore continuing his nomination speech.
 This outburst marked the climax of q bitter fight made by Tammany to pre- vent the nomination of the New York governor, who had become q factor in national politics by reason of his sweep ing victory in gubernatofial campaign two years earlier. Tammany was smarfing from wounds Cleveland s managers had drawn first blood on the opening day of the convention by pre- venting the breaking of the unit rule, thereby forcing the Braves to abide by the decision of the majority of the New York delegation which favored the gov ernor.
 Daniel Manning, later Secretary of the Treasury, leader of the Cleveland forces, was pitted against the field. Cleveland, himself, was repnted to be h reluctant candidate, doubtful of re- ceiying the nomination and dubious about the prospects of being elected if nominated.

.A Lama of the New York Sun and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, who became companions of Tammany in their an tipatky to "a monopolist like Cleveland, 7 left Manning undaunted. His plan was to secure nomination on the first or second ballot before an adjournment which would afford an opportunity for the opposition forces to launch a con certed attack.
 In this the astute manager was out maneuvered. Lacking the necessary two-thirds on the first ballot and with every prospect of victory on the second, Manning was forced to concede to an adjournment which. permitted Butler and Kelly to come together in an all night conference. When the delegates convened in the morning all was set to stampede the convention for Thomas A. Hendricks.
 The announcement that Illinois casts one vote for Hendricks" was the signal for an outburst from delegates acting under Instructions to whoop things up until the shouting became contagious. It lasted for more than fifteen minutes before counter demon stration killed the last hopes of the po- litical allies. Cleveland was nominated and Hendricks tcok second place on the ticket.
