In reply to the statement made in sev eral anti-Cleveland newspapers that the Kentucky state convention was almost solid against him,the Louisville Courier- Journal states that the failure to adopt the resolution endorsing Cleveland was from an altogether different cause, and says “that the truth of the matter is that the great majority of the delegates were enthusiastic Cleveland men. The demon stration that followed the Cleveland ut terances of Mr. McKenzie Is proof of this. If, at that moment, someone had offered the resolution introduced, very inconsiderately, by Mr. J. P. Tarvln, of Coviugton, when tho convention was about to adjourn and when there were not more than two or three hundred present, it would have gone through with si whoop. Tber9 cap b<J n<? doubt of this. “When Mr. Tai’Vln introduced his res olution tho few delegates present wore tired out and wanted to get away by the evening trains to their homes. There ! happened to he hitter anti-Clovelandites among them, and these made a great deal of noiwe. Tho others thought it had been amply demonstrated by a doz en different ovations at the mention of Mr. Cleveland's name that lie had the ention’s heartiest hacking so far as was concerned, and that superlluous.” THE LEADERS, 313 Lamar st. 313 Lamar st. \\ r e will prove the above assertion to be a fact if you will call and ex amine our large and elegant stock of PROFESSIONAL CARDS T a. kluttz, Akchitkotarp 8 o rjpmrrgy pmit, La,„jr street—over Americas, C -over Holt’s J.

Clements be ing in the city, says: "Mr. Clomoats has seen many members of congress since adjournment, and lie believes Judge Crisp’s election to the speaker- ship is assured.” El. Barrett never misses an opportunity to speak a good word for Judge Crisp, and he is doing some good work for him. Ex.RltrllESKBTATlVB Yount, of Ohio, says of politics in that state: “It looks to me as if the democrats would unite and re-nomlnate Oov. Campbell. One thing I am confident of, we will eloct the man we nominate. No man can bo elected in Ohio on the high tariff issue. McKinley makes that issue, and he will he defeated. The fnrmo a are tired of high taxes, and cannot understand why other necessaoios of life cannot be cheap ened by being put on the free list, as sugar has been. When Larry Gantt undertakes to ex pose the evils whloh affllot tho people, he rolls up his alsevea to bis elbows and wades in. In this week's Southern Al liance Farmer he oxpoaes an attempt of a representative of the school book trust to bribe him with s small adver tisement and big money to shut up bn the book question.. The prices of sohool books are outrageous when compared with other publications, and every news paper In Georgia should assist Mr. Gantt In breaking up this monopoly. A Florida legislator has Introduced =a resolution to exclude from the house any correspondent of a newspaper who shall criticise the eonduot or the action of any of Its members, and thereby says plainly II the correspondents cannot praise them they shall not M allowed to say anything. Some men will mako fools of themselves even in exalted stations. It Is a privilege and a duty which newspapers owe their readers to eritlolso the acts of men In publio office, and it will be done so long as the world stands. Onk James Beeson, of Scottsboro, Ala, has sent to the Chattanooga Times a challenge to ltev. Sam. Jones fora publio discussion. Tho question which ho wishes to discuss is the truth or fal sity of the Christian Bible. The Atlan ta Journal thinks If the liev. Sam will accept Beeson’s challenge lie will have ua opportunity to moro effectually “stamp upon the tail feathers of the devil” than ho has evor had before. This Is tough on Beeson and Boh In per son, but Is probably no more than they deserve. The sag,o»U»« was printed broadcast. Tbs columns of lbs Constitution show It.

Before the flf y-flret congress ad- Journed, In answer t • questions from news- paper correspondent*, I replied that Crisp Was my first choice And McMtllln second. These were n y personal preferences. I have never advocated the selection of a northern democrat, becuuse 1 know or none except Holman who so completely comes up tbthe mark. Holman and Hpnnrer seem to me to Ire the only northern democrats who have the n»ces »'y experience, and party neces-l ty r.quire* tbe selection of the man for tbe place without regard to • ctlonal preju iices If such exist. Holman shows no strength, and it fa asserted that Mpriogerls playing for the place. I don't believe it. I don’t know wLatthe actlonof the Mew York delegation will be.

In further conversation, Mr. Cum- mings said that he bad never talked with either Crisp or Mills concerning the speakership. At flret he demurred talk ing about his preferences, and was only Induced to do so beesuse of the vsrious reports printed coneernlng him. He ssid he believed no combinations could be made until the members reached Washington prior to the opening of con grass. “A’l the work will bo done in Wash ington,” he added, “and all that Is said before then is founded upon mere idle speculation.” color oif JtiitlEM. ho persvw. charged with a crime Involving life or llb-rfy hrenflt'ed by virtue of th* con stitution of tl.W trm , " d State* 10 have his race represented upon U* gran I jury that may Indict him or Upon tbs 1 M!l t Jury that may <ry hln.. _ . ..

The same prin ciple was applied in the case of Wood with respect to colored jurors. The question raised is not a new one. It first came up some years ago in Vir ginia jury cases. The law os then ex pounded by the court is that a state may not exclude colored citizens from the jury either by statute, by official action or by systematic practice. At the same time a colored prisoner Is not cxtitled to a colored or mfxed jury. He cannot claim the right that even one colored person shall bo among the twelve. . What the law requires Is that the jury shall be drawn fairly and indiscriminate ly from the community. U this result In a white jury a colored prisoner has no ground for complaint.

There doee not seem to be one-half so much reason for alarm over the large shlpmente of gold that are woekly being made from tide country to Europe many would have you believe. The Washington Post Is Of tha opinion that although the large exports of gbld from thlicountry to Europe occasion eome uneasiness, It Is encouraging to note that in|the opinion of so eminent a flnan der as Herr Blelchroder, the German banker, the United States has no cause for alarm on this account He says in an interview published a few days ago that tho Kussian demand for gold I, not based upon present or prospective W&r necessities—In fact, no war in Europe is to bo anticipated for three years at least—but upon the fact that certain Dutch loans have to he provided for by Russia that necessitate as large an ac cumulation of gold aa possible at home, more than can bo safely withdrawn fron London or Berlin at this time.

Tiik contennial anniversary of the first meeting of the general assembly of South Carolina at Columbia haa just been celebrated with much enthusiasm in that place. Tbe seat of government had originally been at Charleston, but as the dwellers in the northern counties complained of its distance from their homes, it was resolved to found a state capital on tha middle ground, and then the general assembly chose commission ers to buy and lay off iandsoo the plan tations of Thomas and James Taylor “for the building of the town of Colum bia thereon.” Four or five years later this purpose had been sufficiently car ried into affect for removing tho govern ment, and it is .he centenary of this evont which has caused high carnival on the hills of tho Congaree. An interest ing fact mentioned by General Wade Hampton, who delivered tho principal address at the celebration, is that until 1803 the town was under the control of tho legislature as Washington is under tbat of congress; snd in that year, also, South Carolina College, previously es tablished by the general assembly, was open there. Dispatcher from tbe third party con vention In Cincinnati Indlaate that the organization of the new party will be postponed until the meeting next Feb ruary. Tho members are divided in opinion as to tbe advisability of Its or ganization at this tlmo, those opposing coming mostly from tho south. The Kansas delegates aro rod hot for a new party, and want It right now. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says: The Bt.
