Tha democrats of Alabama met hero today to name delegates from the state at largo to the constitutional convention to bo held next August. The action late last night In re fusing to the populists the number of dele gates proportionate to the number of utato senators woven gave the democrats a clear Held. Thulr plan Is to submit the consti tution which they have prepared to the people for ratification. The republican op position Is not very otroug , nnd although they have decided to formulate an address at the meeting hero Saturday , the democrats claim It can have no effect. The Illiterate white farmers are to bo provided for by an amendment providing that where one can not read nor write he shall l > o allowed to vote if ho pays taxes on as much ns $300 worth of property. This would give practi cally every whlto man the right to vote and eliminate only the Illiterate negro ot the farming belt. The following resolutions were adopted : First : That wo favor the holding of a constitutional convention for the purpose of so regulating the right to vote as to perpetuate the rule of the vthlto mau in Alabama. Second : That the constitutional conven tion shall regulate all questions of sutfr.igo so ns not to conflict with the constitution of the United States and for the best Inter ests of the people and the taxpayers of Alabama. Third : That there shall bo Inserted in such constitution a provision limiting the rata o ! taxation bv the state , counties end munlci : nlltlesi. and that such rates of taxa tion shall not exceed the rate now fixed by tha pnpcnt constitution , but a lower rate If Ducticable. Fourth- That the proposed now conjtltu- tlcn shall bo submitted to a vote of tbo people for Its adoption or rejection. Fifth : That we pledge our faith to the people of Alabama not to deprive any whlto man of the right to vote , except for con viction of infamous crime. Sixth ; That section SI ) , of article Iv. of the pieeont cons.Mtutlpp In reference to the removal and location , of the "state paoitol shall. remain unclmnccd. Seventh : That the provisions and restric tions In tbo. present constitution as to cor- poratlnrs nhall remain unchanged. Eighth : That wo hersb/ Instruct all democratic members of the constitutional convention faithfully to carry out the above pledges. Thirty-three delegates ! from itho state at. largo , one for each senatorial district , were nominated. Ex-Congressman Deneon pre sided temporarily and Stoto Senator Jelks was permanent chairman.

The admlnlHtratlon of affair * In Cuba came up and It was practically decided to simplify matters by consolidating eoino of the ad ministrative departments. The question of amending the civil service rules nnd regulations In certain particulars was under consideration , nnd the president stated that ho dtfilrctl to dispose of the inat- tor at nn early day. Almcst the las-t thing the president did hcforo lenvlui ? for the south was to return to the members of the cabinet their several recommendations on the subject , with a request that they again go over them with a view ti making any changes which might suggest themselves during his absence. Today the president asked that ho ibo furnished with their con clusions In the matter as soon ns possible , and It Is believed It Is his purpose to Isaue his order In n few days.
