This arines not so much from partigan rivalry inct- dental to « national contest asto the fact that for the first time ina period of twenty years the dominant party is confronted by an opposition Yery different in character and much stronger numerically from that which {t has been in the hab‘t of Heretofore the op- position been confined to the loomel organized republican party, dis Pirited by years of successive defeat, | awed by the practical consolidation of the white people against them, and largely suppremed by laws which place the conduct of elections in the hands of the dominant party.

STEVENSON S VISIT. ‘The coming of Candidate Stevenson has had © xood effect and given the democrats groat en- couragement.

He says the leaders of the Kolb party are making great noise, But that they will be without any considerable following on election day. Gen. Shelley also believes that many of the negroes will vote with the democrats next month, as ti Gen. Shelley talks confidently it 1s apparent that he is not without apprehension. The exact proportions of the material forced from the democratic mas by the Jeffersonian bridge is as much of an enigma to Gen. Shelley asto others, The outcome depends entirely m that. Idon't think the Stevens faction will amount to anything. & mass, white and Wick, will support the Lake- view ticket, and if the Jeffersonians are one- half ne strong on the day of election as they now claim to be Harrison will get Alabuma’s electoral vote. ‘The republicans as From Another Point of View. Correapondence of The Evenins Star. Mowroomznr, Axa., Oct. 22, 1892. Ite now less than three weeks to slection time. A review of the political field in Alabama will not be devoid of interest just at this time, | when “all eyes are turned” in this direction, | erally attenda predictions that fail to mate- | where so wnuch is occurring to claim the atten- | rialize in tion of those whe mold the destinies of the republic. With the conditions that prevail here and the abnormal causes that have inspired them the country {s more or less familiar. It will not, therefore, be necesary to extend this retrospect beyond the period which separates the presont from atime when the situation in Alabama differed not from that which provailed in each of the other commonwealths that com- that impregnable fortress of democracy ‘ea “the solid south.” FME STATE CAMPAION. ‘The spectacle of a divided democracy in a southern state was one well calculated to excite the interest of the country. It was, broadly speaking, anomalous in recent history of Amer- tean politics, It indicated an innovation in ‘oustoms that wae a revelation to those qiho pin faith to tradition, and it announced in thunder tones, whose reverberations are still heard the land. that « revolution was at hand. This was the lesson of the Ala- Dama state clection in August last and subse- uent events hare but served to point its moral. it of the confusion of political discord and strife it is imposeible to expect the quick re- turn of and hence the bitter struggle ter- ag at th August polls and confined to or local issues only announced a renewal hostilities extended to party meamres na- tional in ‘The committees of the con- tending fectione were retained fa power, the overtures of were only talked of and never made, derce of each other was declared anew and every preparation for con- tinnance of war was and immediately began. ‘THE VIRST GUN. ‘The state election was held on the 8th of August. The official result was announced two weeks Inter. There had been only two tickets in the field, and both were denominated “dem- ccratic.” Thus far the republicans had “rested on their arms" and the populsts had not claimed existence as a distinct and separate party. The interim between the time when the official result was proclaimed and the 15th of September was spent by one side to the late en- gagement in con! the fruits of their de- clared vietory—by the other in rallying their forces and endeavoring to recruit ther army an alliance which has since become famous. “opening gun” of the campaign was fired in celebratic f this erent at eview, near Birmingham, on September 15. It was a great day in the political annals of Alabama. Gen. Weaver was there. Mre. Mary E. Lease was there. Mr. Kolb and Mr. Bowman were there. Chairman Moseley was there—by proxy. Some prominent exponent of every interest hostile to the organized democracy was there. They were there for a purpose which was successfully accomplished. A compact was formed and its terms published. It stipulated a deal between the Kolb democrats, the Moseley republicans and the _populiats. The former were to name the candidates for Congress in the nine congressional districte, the latter jointly were to select the candidates for presidential electors. The agreement was promptly ratified and this notable convention proceeded to execute the terms. The ticket was made and a united support pledged. From that hour the democracy of Alabama has been con- fronted with an opposition which challenges it to an extent that has never before been known. THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT. After the Lakeview event the campaign had not progressed far before @ friction was discov- ered in the execution of the plan outlined by the convention. Trouble developed from an unexpected quarter, and it was of a character caure originated in the canvass for delegates to the Minneapoli# convention. The republicans of Alabama were divided in their choice for nominee of that convention. Chairman Moseley represented the faction which favored President Harrison. William J. Stevens, colored, led the Blaine wing of his party. " Dual conventions were held and two sets of delegates sent to Minne- apolis, This recognition by the national party of Moseley of course did not please the Stevens following and failed to cement the republican breach. Both factions continued as before the national ion, each ofticered by its own official« and each claiming to be “the republican party of Alabama.” In lovalty to the national ticket they were a unit, and but forthe Lakeview coali- tion convention would doubtless have supported the same electoral ticket. In arranging the fusion program Moseley was consulted as the official head of his party in Alabama. Stevens and his followers resented this as an affront to their faction and proceeded todenounce Mos for his treachery to followed t anew the Mos of by a rancor to defy all efforts at recon he Lakeview leaders were quick to appr f Stevens’ oppe = were immedi a union of the republicans. position was made: overt J and every expedient diph iwuggest was brought into exercis ‘an executive comm presentative in the bearing the olive br from the national party conferences followed Mr. ves were held to which rel festation in the interest of republican peace has #0 far been ently rewarded: Beyond a few wertions to Mosely, Stevens’ bel- ris Mag and desir Several lagee’s visit, and c repres were atives to both sides of t r admitted. s hairman Carter's commities ing Chairman Moscly has sible to unify republicans in m in Alabama. STRENGTH OF THE FUSIONISTS, Notwithstanding this serious breach in a pow- ment to the Lakeview coalition the ic party in Alabama is confrented by & powerful and splendidly organized oppo- This is a fact that no observant person amomentdeny. Probably not less than 65 per cent of the Koib democrats in Alabama are loyal in their support of the anti-demo- cratic ticket. This estimate does not include « considerable element who call themselves lists, bat who have not actively affiliated with Kolb. To these must be added the Mosely re- publicans who largely control the machinery of the party, but whose strength as a faction in- dependent of the Stevens’ secession cannot yet be determined. The aggregation of these dis- tinet factors imto a well disciplined and deter- mined organization furnishes a formidable barrier to the struggling hosts of a divided de- mocracy. The compact that binds these hostile elements is something more than a name. It rep~ resents all of the energy and vigilance that quickens on to victory. If there is one who thinks that the’ fusioniste of Alabama are manquerading behind a vain and foolish pre- teuse iet him undeceive himself. These men mean war. bitter and unrelenting war.

That the democrats regard these men as in | dead earnest is clearly demonstrated by re- | peated manifestations of alarm. The most un- usual 4ymptom of this character is recognized | in the invitation to non-resident statesmen to come and stump the state. In fact, Alabama | has been « harvest field for the big men of all | the parties. Gen.

Stevenson and Speaker Crisp, both of | whom have filled several appointments at dif. | ferent pomnta, These distinguished exponents | of their respective parties have been ple- mented by a contingent of statesmen of lesser | note, who have tested their campaign oratory | With more or less effest on the Alabama voter. | | A FORECAST OF RESULTS. | With this enumeration of the chief incidents | of the Alubaina campaign, which forms a brief | review of the situation from beginning to date, it would be proper to supplement it with an estimate of the probable results that will mark | the termination of this remarkable struggle. Political _predictic jependent of strong evidence to support them, differ little from the averaged guess of the prophet who presides over the weather bureau at Washington. This | ia meant lese as a reflection on our national weathercock than an expression of jdonbt in the science of human _fore- sight when applied to weather conditions which are not entirely without analogy to she fi | relations that govern things political. | this fact well in mind the reproach which ge certainty ix hereby waived. Based | on conditions which at present exist and which | will probably remain unchanged to the end of | the campaign, prospects point to. the election | of the democratic electoral ticket. With two | distinct sets of electors to divide democratic | opposition a plurality for the Cleveland ticket | s practically eau This much was ascer- | tained when it became known definitely that | the Stevens ticket would not be withdrawn. Another fact in support of this osti- mate is recognized in the accession or, rather, return to the democratic ranks of & large portion of the Kolb followera, A month ‘ago it seemed that that gentleman would be able to control practically hia entire following for the fusion ticket. If he can now retain more than 65 percent of the men who voted for him for governor in Angnst he will perform a feat not at present regarded a politica) proba- bility. It is remarkable the effect that the re- cent arrests of democratic officials has exerted | against. the fusionixte. Independent of any | merit that may have been involved, the Bullock county incident haa buen worth thousands of | votes to the organized democracy, and these votes come directly from the ranks of those at whose instance these arrests were made. As a remedial measure the United States district | court has been called upon to decide, but as'& ty policy it was the very essence of stupidity. | Tine Smocratio pros welcomed It as ¢ long | wished-for opportunity to Introduce the force | bill as an issue, and democratic orators, includ- | ing Gen. Stevenson, have rung the changes on | the theme till Mr. Lodge's clection bill can al- | most be repeated down here by heart. It hax | been the means of conversions that no other cause could have produced und given org democrats a new title to claims of hope and confidence. These claims, for reasons shown, may be regarded aa well founded, for it would take the unexpected to destroy the chance the democrats possess today of carrying Alabama for Cleveland and Steve son in November. | There are three congressional districts that | may be termed doubtful, with chances favoring | the fustonists. In the ‘fifth, the district now | represented by Judge Cobb, the democrats will | in all probability be beaten—in fact, this rewult | seems inevitable. In this (the second) district the alliance nominee is very strong and is mak- ing a vigorous fight. A majority of the | counties “in the district were carried | by the alliance in August, and it is thought this result will be repeated | next month,in which event the democratic can- | didate will depend entirely upou his mafority in this and one other county for election. This isa contingency which is not assuring to the democrats. In the seventh district the alliance is making a formidable fight. It is an enti- democratic stronghold, and an alliance Con- gresiman as a successor to Gen. Forney is something in the nature of a probability. As for the other districts—the first, third, fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth—democrats will likely continue to represent them as now. MICHIGAN, A Vigorous Campaign in Progress in the Wolverine State. Special Dispatch to The Eventn« § Gnasp Rartps, Micu., Oct. 24.—Two weeks remain of the campaign, and these two weeks will be crowded with stirring polit- ical events.

THE LEGIMLATIVE DISTRICTS. The conventions have all been held. The senatorial nominations as returned show that both parties have been careful to nominate men of higher ability then for years before.

Brundage and Willi . Sawyer. Six of the democratic members of the last senate and four republicans have been Tenominated, and twelve of the other candi- dates have had previous legislative experie1 and populists have combined. In the fourth Detroit district the democrats have two candi- dates in the field, both claiming to be regular, (as the result of a factional fight. All the legis- | lative candidates are now in the field, but their names have not as yet been all gathered in. In between forty and fifty districts the demo- erats and populists have combined and in two or three the populist candidates have received the republican indorsement, managers of both parties claim to be hopeful as to the results of the iegislative election. but on the face of the returns, basing calculations upon the election two years ago, the democrats, assisted by the populista, seem to have the best ground for confidence, = THE LIQUOR COMBINATION. The liquor interests of the state perfected an organization in Suginaw last week. There are about 5,000 saloons and kindred establishments in the state, representing a voting strength of about 13,000. “The combination, for mutual ly- terest, does not meet the approval of even half of those engaged in the trafic and the or- ganization will not cut so great a figure ax tight be expected. The publicity given the convention will «tir up the God and morality contingent and to ojenly announce that the liquor interest will indorse the candidacy of alar man will burt rather than belp las Judge Moree and go against Mr. Diekema, the er part of the hquor interests will aupport latter the republican candidate for attorney general. In the legislative and senatorial dis- tricts the liquor interests will beactive in work- ing for law makers who will be friendly to their interests, and the local organization wil be far more effective than the state organization, for the reason that the work can be done more ne- cretly and with a better understanding of the situation and also without so great a wrench of political fecling. ATOR STOCKHEIDOE'S SEAT. Luce and Jas. Monroe, the latter postmaster of Kalamazoo and chief lieutenant, second on!y to Secretary Olds, and Senator Stockridge had a conference last week regard- ing the United States senatorial situation. Stockbridge wante s second term and Luce wants the seat himself, and the fight between thom han been carried into overy district. ‘The result of the conference is reported to be the withdrawal of Luce from the race in consideration of receiving a foreign mission in case of republican victory. Luce’s friends, however, discredit the story think he is too old a politician to enter into any such ar- rangement. The conference was, of course, secret, and its results will not become known until after election. Both parties have been very active in making canvasses in every county and district. This work is still incomplete, but it ts progrossing rapidiy. Both agree that the populist vote not be nearly so large aa the populiste t selves estimate. Thoy also agree that tho will be very large, the apathy in the ca being on the eurface only, the interest being deep seated do not agree. The republicans claim that their and the democrats are equally hope claim. A week hence a better idea can gained upon the prospects and the probable re- sults. > MISSOUKL.
