This is prob ably because Governor Jones told those who came to see him that they must vacate the houee of representatives' hall by 10 o’clock last night In ordeh that It might be gotten in readiness for the state assembly, which meets today. The populists evidently intended to hold longer than one day's session. Whether they intend to organize a sep arate legislature is not plain. There had been some talk that they would attempt to keep possession of the house of representatives hall, but the meeting at the theater disposes of any program of that sort. The meeting yesterday was taken up with a speech by P. G. Bowman, of Birmingham, chairman of the populite party committee, in which he denounced ballotbox frauds. So far nothing of importance has transpired. The Party Rechrlstened. At 7 o'clock last night the Kolb con ventlon re-assembled and while await ing the report of the committee on res olutions, an extended and heated wrangle arose overThe question of re- christqntng the party, which in a par tial report from the special committee in the afternoon had been dubbed, the peoples and Jeffersonian party. The resnlt of the evening argument was the wiping out of the Jeffersonian pert, and the convention of the Jefferso- niaus and populists, resolved them selves Into the national peoples' party, It was after 9 o'clock when Chairman W. H. Skaggs, of the oommittee on resolutions was yielded the stage and began the reading of a quite volumnous report which began by congratulating the people of Alabama on the recent republican victories in other states and then took up the subject of alleged bal lot box stuffing. The report stated that the committee had at hand ample proof of all their allegations of fraud in that Kolb and his ticket was elected laat August and had been counted out. Revolutionary Statements About Fraud. At this juncture Dr. Crowe, of Perry county, in an excited manner passed up and down the theatre isle and declared that he should be seated even if blood shed were necessary and that Decem ber first the people (populists and re publicans) should meet in Montgomery and that if the state military intefered with them there would be enough men on hand to handle them. These revol utionary statements were backed up in stout talks by a number of men. until Skaggs finally resumed the reading of the report which went on to say that the evidence was at hand to prove the frauduleat election of Governor-Elect Oates and that if the legislature did not right the wrong, the federal eongreas would be called upon and a force bill demanded if necessary. After reading the resolutions. Skaggs spoke for two hours and simply drowned out the in cendiary speakers, who were applaud- ed to the echo, while the more conser vative men were listened to in silence The executive convention adjourned sine die after adopting the report.

As no rain of any consequence has fallen in three months, the plan ters are well up with picking. There is no reason to prevent their marketing every bale within the next six weeks, except low prices and the hope that later in the season they may get ac advance. They are unanimous upon one point, not to plant‘haore than half the present area next year. Hundreds have de termined to nlant none at all for the good and sufflMent reason that It don't C y.

The Embassador Looked Ahead and Saw Where the Cyeloae tVenld Hit. Baltimorb, November 10.—Ambas sador Thoa F. Bayard talks freely about the result of Tuesday’s elections. He said : "I have had grave apprehen sions as to the result of the recent elec tions for some time. H was by na means an absolute surprise to me.” The Ambassador said he had no idea that the ehange ef power waa lasting or even meant to t » lasting. ‘T don’t want to run afoul of those gentlemen who were responsible for the delay in the passing of the tariff bill, but, as I say, the path of duty is unmistakable, and the necessity for pure democratic tariff legislation was never so great as it is now. The bills for free raw mate rials should be passed immediately, and then the country will be able to contemplate the democratic idea of the tariff in full working order for two years before another national election rolls round. If this is done I have lit tle fear but the verdict will be satisfac tory in 1896.” Ambassador Bayard sails from New York early next Tuesday morning for England. SENSATION AT INDIANAPOLIS.
