THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. ©. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1892. Convention Culled to Meet at Birmingham on the 15th fustant, Correspondence of The Evening Star. Brarwomam, Ats., Kept, 2, 1802. The all-absorbing topic in political circles ‘be | just now is the state fusionist convention, called by the chairman of the Kolb committee and the chairman of the people's party, to meet here September 15. | _ This convention will in reality be a people's | party convention. It will nominate nine can- | didates for Congress and an electoral ticket, | and, to be more explicit, during its session here | | nine people's party congressional conventions will meet and each will put out a candidate for Then the main convention will pass approve these nominations. . C. Manning of the people’s party “ the program and he knows after | that resolutions will be passed condemning the democratic party in Alabama and the alleged frauds claimed to have been perpetrated by it | during the recent stato election. A presidential electoral ticket will also be put out. Secretary Manning says there is no doubt that the con- y | Yention will indoree Weaver and Field and put up an electoral ticket for them, | Big preparations are being made for this con- vention. More than half the counties in the state have already elected delegates to it. The county committee of the Kolbites held a | meeting in this county yesterday and called a | county ‘convention to meet at Pratt Mines | September 10 to select delegates to the state | convention. Other counties are taking similar action almost daily. THE SPEECHES. Secretary J. C. Manning of the people's party is very enthusiastic with the prospects for the ‘convention. He expects an audience of 5,000 | people at this gathering and has gone ao far as [to name the Lakemir Opera House as a piace for holding the meoting. About 900 delegates are expected. Weaver and Field have both notified the local committee that they will be on hand and will make speeches. Mrs. Lease, the famous woman oraior of Kansas, who claims to have defeated Ingulls, will also be here and make a speech. A number of Georgia third party leaders will ‘come over. Among them will be Post and | Barnes. Weaver and Field will canvass Alabama, opening here and going from this city to Mont gomery. ‘Thoy willaleo appear at Opelika and | pethaps at Mobile and other cities in the state. ‘rom Alabama they go to Florida and then to | Georgia. Othor lglite of the same party will | follow in their wake. CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANTS. Since the announcement was made some | wecks ago that the people's party convention which meets here soon would put up candi- dates for Congress in every district congres- | sional bees have been buzzing in the bonnets of several supporters of Kolb who,hope to float to Washington on a people's party tidal wave. As stated in a previous leiter Col. Warren Reece, ex-mayor of Montgomery, isout asa can- | didate for the nomination in the second dis- trict aguinst tho regular democratic nominee. ceapt the nomination if tendered him in opposition to { any one put up by the “Tom Jones democracy,” or words to that effect. Frank Baltzell, editor of tho Alliance Herald, Kolb’s principal supporter, is also a candidate 1 | for congressional honors in the second district. B. Brazzell is likewise a candidate in the district. | From this it looks as if the fusioniste will have quite a scramble among themselves for the nominations. | Already two aspirants for the congressional | | nomination in the seventh district on the peo- | | ple's party ticket have bobbed np. They are willing to lock horns with Col, Denson, the democratic nominee, who ix the most vigorous stump speaker and campaigner in Alabama. These two aspirants are Georgo F. Gaither of Gadsden, state chairman of the and Arthur H. Beard of Guntersv unknown in politics. Gaither is an unique character. He has belonged to many parties and run for many offices during his life, but he never succeeded in being elected to one yet. W. L. Fountain of Perry county is a candi- date for people's party nomination for Con- ess in the ninth district and J. B, Ware of irmingham is likewiee seeking the same honor at the hands of the same party, Down in the third congressional district it ap- pears that the people's party followers ha quietly gone to work and “nominated Judge W . Carlisle of Opelika for Congress to oppose Col. Oates, whom the democrats will renomi- nate. The people's purty was only recently or- ganized in the third district and @ «mall num- ber of them assembled in convention at Ozark. It seems that at the same time they agreed upon Carlisle us @ suitable man to pit aguinst Oates, and nobody on the outside knew anything about what had been done until crrenlars were issued | and scattered broadcast eaying that Carlisie was their candidate and giving the times an at which he would addres the people. i Cazhsle is x local polincian of Opelika and is | not cxtensively known, in fact very little known of him here. CRATS LEAVE THE PARTY. kuloosa ¢: little flutter of political excitement hay been created by the | formal announcement of three very prominent | of their withdrawal from the party. | ss, the defeated candidate for etate treasurer on the Kolb ticket; T. M. Barbour, re- cently elected representative to the legislature, | and James K. Maxwell, the Kolb leader in Tuska- ounty,addresved a curd through the public press tothe chairman of the democratic executive committee of Tuskaloora county, in which th organized democracy lot i+ east with anew party which will hold a mass mecting in Turkaloosa county on Septem- ber 10 for the purpose of wel toa convention to be held in Birmingham on the 15th to nominate a candidate for Congress in the sixth district in opposition to the nomi- nee of the regular democracy. | DEMOCRATS AT WORK. people's party has taken a lnrge following of men who have heretofore been democrats with him, it is also true that he has been and will | continue to be unable to coutrol even half of | his followers dnring the late state campaign. | We democrata are alive to the serious aspect | of affairs and are at work.

Pinechback Does Not Think That ‘They Will Carry « Single State. Correspondence of The Evening Star. New You, Sept. 3, 1892, Whether it will be possible to curry any southern state for the republicans is a sub- ject interesting a good many people here just | now. And it must be confessed that those who | get farthest ou the inside generally have little | confidence in its being accomplished. I met ex-Gov. Pinchback of Louimana at the | telegraph office today. He looked as cheerful as ever, and I'usked him if he was looking for | republican success in the south, “No,” he said with strong emphasis, ‘the ay solid as a rock, and it is useless to talk about carrying anything there, at least un- der the present conditions.” At the Fifth Avense little later I met Col Colyar, t veteran a newspay owner of Nashville, Tenn, Col. Colyar wan it | will be remembered, a great friend and admirer | south is | of the late Congressman Randall of Pennsyl- vania, Ifound him in avery much depressed state of mind. “What are the democrats of New York goi to do?” he repeated, his newspaper instinct si making him a ready interviewer, though he has been out of newspaper ow: for else New York state will be lost.

At least he comes to the front now with a beanti- fully rounded assertion that every thingis !ovely. He authorized the democ literary burean today to give the following statement as coming from him: “I do now see a single break now in the hori- zon. Everything is working together for demo- cratio success, J am firm in the opinion that the state of New York is safer for Cleveland and Stevenson than any other of the seriously con- tested states. I am going to speak in Indiana and then work my way back to this state, mak- i many addresses ax I can in the time at my disposal or rather at the disposal of the na- tional committee, under whose orders I have been glad to place myself in the service of the democratic cause. I would like to s: but must hurry to catch Lieut. Go st state headquarters, as Ihave just missed bim re."” If all the republicans were as earnest in their devotion to the party and as active in promot- ing its interests as is T. H. Carter, the coluced Treasury Department messenger, who is em- ployed at the republican headquarters here, there would not be much question of republi- can success. Since coming here he has organ- ized a colored republican club in the seven- teenth assembly district, which club has now a membership of 450, and among them quite a | large number who voted for Cleveland in the | Inst campaign. TROUBLE AMONG THE DEMOCRATS. There can be no doubt that there is a good deal of tronble inside of the democratic ranks here. And the division between the two fac- tions of the democratic party seem to be growing wider than otherwise. Even the independent newapapers, with a large- sized democratic leaning, admit this. ‘There seems to be no disposition on the part of the followers of Senator Hill to take their coats off and go to work. On tho contrary the re- Ferme seems to be the rule. Not ouly dags Senator Hill keep out of the range of the leaders on the democratic side of the campnign, but those who were his ardent supporters continue to henpeck the leaders of the Cleveland party and | todo many things that tend to discord rather than harmony. ‘Thee things are producing the belief _in the minds of almost everybody that many of those who opposed the now jand want To we their prediction made good that he ‘ean- not carry New York state.

The urban population being so small in most of the counties the issue of farmer against lawyer, country against, town was potential in them, and while in most cases the majorities were not large Gov. Tillman carried thirty out of thirty-five counties, securing 260 delegates in the state convention against sixty for Shep- pard. This was disproportionate to a majority in the state of less than five-eighths of the votes, but it is accounted for by the fact that | the farmers are ina large majority except in | the counties containing the cities of Charleston ‘and Columbia. ‘The conservatives are, of course, bitterly dis- appointed in the result.’ Their figures led them to believe that, if beaten, the majority against them would not be 5,006, and they were nn- aware until the day of election of the silent and powerful work of the alliance. ‘Not one of the new nominees for is aman of prominence, Farmer Strait, who de- feated Congressman Hemphill, is obscure and in really a very ignorant man.’ Tis success is | attributed to the fact that Gov.
