THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1894—TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. FUSION IN ALABAMA —— --+—— Kolbites Who Are Not Willing to Support Republicans. A HEATED CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN Populists Encouraged by Their Gains in Georgia. {Saber A accel DEMOCRATS HARD AT WORK —-—_—— Correspomience of The Evening Star. 1AM, Ala., October 8, 1994. As ~ er appreaches the congres- al campaign grows mere heated. ‘The Hists in Alabama are greatly encourag- over the substantial gains made by their ty in Geo! shown by the state tion, and this has had the effect of stimulating them to greater efforts than ever in Alibama. They are Jubtiant over the Georgia result, and are boasting that by use of the same tactics es were brought into play in Georgia, namely, fusion with the republicans, they will capture several Als tricts. I r, the democrats are very active, and are preparing tc meet every move made by the op; fon. They are inviting to this State such speakers as Speaker Crisp, Secreta we ry of Interior Smith, Congressman John Allen of M issippi and others, be- sid uator Morgan will be home in a few days, and will actively enter the cam- paicn, being already bocked for a number of important appointments. All the con- gressional candte are already on the stu Pp. and a very ely campaign is being first, fourth and ninth districts the anti-democratic nominees are straight out republicans, whom the populists and Jef- fersonians or Kolbites have indorsed in their dis(¥ict conventions and agreed to support. In the remaining districts, except the sixth, the opponents of democracy are populists or Kolbites, who have the in- sement of the republican conventions, that the fusion between the populists, Ibives and republicans Is complete, one district excepted, so far as the conven- tions and machinery of the three neerned. This admits of but ts of tickets in the field, and anti-lemoeratic. While «nizations of the pépulists, Kolbites and republicans thoroughly* understand each other, and are working In perfect harmony, there is no iittle kicking coming from the rank and file of the populists and Kolbites in the fourth and ninth districts against st ng straight republicans for Con- the Aldrich brothers being the nom- snd having the indorsement of the t conventions ef beth the populists fersonians or Kol o Len F.

Denson, democratic nom!- nee in the seventh district, that he had sold out to the Kolbites and the populists during the state campaign for $0, were invest!- gated by the ditrict committee, which met here this week, and as no tangible evidence could be produced to sustain them, Denson was exonerated and will remain as the nominee of the democracy. Denson was be- fore the committee and denied the charges im toto, explaining that the sw he got through Taubeneck was from Johnson and Spear of Colorado in the interest of the free silver campaign in Alabama. Denson said he was willing to abide the action of the committee, and if they saw fit to pull him down. and put up some other nominee, he ‘would cheerfully support the man so named. Col. Denson’s explanation was accepted and @ letter was also produced from W. H. Skaggs, chairman of the Kolbite-populist campaign committee during the state cam- => stating that he had made several ef- to confer with Denson during the cam- committee decided to give the | er Morgan, brother | paign to try to induce him to support Kolb for governor and had failed. Every county in the seventh district gave majorities for Kolb at the state election, but Denson being a free silverite and anti- Cleveland man, party leaders he is the only democrat who stands any of car- rying the district. He has many friends among populists and republicans, but is finding strong opposition in the person of M. W. Howard, populist nominee. If ex-President Harrison and Gov. Mc- Kinley go to Tennessee to speak, as has been reported they would, it is probable they will also come down in Alabama and make speeches in the fourth and ninth dis- tricts in behalf of the republican nominees, as they have already been invited and urged to come. The political atmosphere is very murky in Alabama just now, and it is difficult to predict just what the election will bring ferth. The chances of the anti-democrats for success in any of the districts seem to depend entirely on how well the fusion plan can be carried out. = PUZZLED OVER THE BALLOTS. A Question of Leg: ity Involved in the Virginia Election. Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 8, 1894. The lawmakers and the strong limbs of the law in Virginia, are somewhat exer- cised over what seems to be a direct con- flict between the Walton or new election law and a proposed amendment to the con- stitution of the state relating to certain criminal procedures. The latter will be submitted to the people at the coming elec- tion, November 6, and the ballots on the amendment wiil have to be done under the new ballot law. Both the proposed amend- ment and the new election law were en- acted at the recent session of the legisla- ture. The bone of contention is that the provision of the one precludes the possibil- ity of carrying out the intent of the other, i.e, the manner prescribed for taking the vote upon the amendment is rendered ille- gal in the new ballot daw. The following is the title o: the act as to the amendment to the constitution: “An act to provide for the submission to the people of the proposed amendment to the tenth clause of article 1 of the consti- tution of Virginia, in relation to the mode cf trial in criminal or capital prosecutions.” Relating to the manner in which the vote on the amendment to the constitution is to be taken, the act provides: “At such elec- tion each of said voters who shall approve said amendment shall, on the ballot which he uses to vote at said election, have writ- ten or printed tae words, ‘For the amend- ment to the constitution;’ and each of said voters who shall be opposed to said amend- ment shall, on the ballot which he uses to vote at said election, have written or printed the words, ‘Against the amend- ment to the constitution.’ ” Just here is the rub. Some of the best lawyers In the city, with whom The Star ondent talked, say the above is in sition to the provisions of the Walton election law, which contains the fol- lowing in regard to the manner in which the votes are to be cast: “The ballot shall be a white paper ticket, containing the aames of the persons who have con plied with the provisions of this act as hereinafter providel, and the title of the office printed or written as herein- after provided. None other shall be a legal ballot.” The recent sesston of the assembly en- d both of the laws, but the Walton elec- ion law was approved by the governor on | March 6, ne month after he had ap- proved th ed conflicting act. it is claimed by others, howe that the election law fr no wise conflic! with the ment” act, and that the clause re- pealing all acts or parts of acts in conflict with the same does not apply to the law concerning the amendment to the constl- tution.

P. A. Movement. —_+—_# THE SENATORIAL OUTLOOK Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., October 9, 1894, A lively sensation was spryng’ Saturday by the publication of letters written by Timothy E. Tarsney, declining to go on the stump for Fisher, and by Charles C. Cas- rlin and Samuel Robinson, withdrawing from the democratic state central commit- tee. Tarsney ts a brother of Congressman Tarsney of Mi.sourl. He was himself in Congress, representing the Saginaw dis- trict, duriag two terms the Forty-ninth qid Fiftieth—and is widely known through the state as a brilliant orator and a good democrat. In his letter he accuses Spencer O. Fisher, the democratic candidate for governor, of belonging to the A. P. A., and of having made a trade with that organiza- tion for its support. He makes out a cir- cumstantiat case against Mr. Fisher to Prove his accusation, denounces the A. P. A., and says he would “be untrue to my country, untrue to tne democratic party, false to myself anc a traitor to my chil- dren's heritage’ were he to go on the stump for Mr. Fisher or support him. The letters of withdrawal of Mr. Casterlin and Mr. Robinson are addressed to Chairman Stevenson of the democratic state central committee, and base their actions upon Mr. Fisher's A. P. A. affiliations and the ref- eree system, which Mr. Fisher represents, which Is far from being as dead as Don M. Dickinson and his friends claim. The letters are published too early for roor-back purposes. They have a deeper meaning and-the republicans claim that they indicate the unhappy condition that the democratic party of Michigan is in. ney is thought to be honest in that Mr. Fisher is affiliated with er denies the charges makes end promises to sub- mit proofs of their falsity. As for My. Ca terlin and Mr. Robinson, it is not so much the A. P. A. that worries tnem as it is the referee system. The Referee System. This will be remembercd as a peculiar Institution, created and put into practice by Don M. Dickinson for the distribution of federal patronage In Michigan. He had absolute control of the patronage, and it is charged that instead of consulting the wishes of local leaders and party managers in each district he created a board of per- sonal advisers, through whom all cflices were given out. Last spring there was an outburst against the referee system, which Was made an issue in the state conven- ticn. All the federal office holders in the state rallied to the support of Dickinson und the re trolled the nominat e3, and as a resuit they con- convention. Mr. Fisher was It may be explained that El- evenson, the chairman the ntral committee, is Dickinson's law Some democrats claim that. this is eminently a Dickinson cam- paign, with Fisher as the figu 1, and should Fisher be elected it will be a vic- tory for the refere> sytem, und the state would hardly be large enough for Dickinson end bis triumph. anti-refetee people claim that in case uf Fisner's election they uid be stepped upon and tr ated worse than thougn the r ns swept. the stale, A demeceratic would be a blow at Dickin worse the de- feat the heavi w. Mr. Casterlin and Mr n are both antis and their m the state central com- be interpreted as a strike at Dickinson rather tha the A. P. A, as @ protest against alihough the latter is made the exc ar their action. It is considered highly probable that oth- er memb of the state central ommittee , now that the movement has started. W. F. McKnight of this city and corge P. Hummer of Holland, represent- this disirict on the committee, are both » the latter especially. Mr. McKnight a Catholic, and unless Mr, Fisher disproves the charges that be belongs to the f A., he would have a double object in ring. Hummer has been affiliating witn the populists for two or three months past, and the announcement that he had gone over to them bodily would create no sur- prise here. Hummer is at the head of a large furniture factory at Holland, has a wide influence among the Hollanders in Ottawa county, has always contributed lib- erally to the democratic campaign fund and 19 serving his second term as mayor of a town that until his first nominatiop was solidly republican. In this connection, as an additional democratic calamity, Milton F, Jordan of Barry county, who’ was nomi- nated on the state ticket for Meutenant governor, and who declined to make the run, has come out in support of the repub- lican ticket. This is another case of anti- refereeism and a desire to kill Don Dick- irson. Jordan was for years chairman of the Barry county democratic committee. In the distribution of the federal patronage his wishes were not consulted, his indorse- ments of candidates were ignored and the referees had it all thelr own way. It is said that nine-tenths of the democratic trouble in Michigan this year is due to the referce system. If that were enough of a remi- niscence, with the revival of business in every line, the campaign which Fisher has been putting up, combined with the scan- dals charged against the republican admin- istration and the dissatisfaction in repub- lean ranks, tne democrats might carry the state. As conditions now exist, the bitter- hess between the democratic factions 1s stronger than between the democrats and republicans, and thousands of democrats, if they go to the polls at all, wil not vote for nore even though they do not vote for Rich, will drop The Senatorial Outlook. John Patton, jr., is practically out of the race for the election to the senatorial seat, to which Gov. Rich appointed him upon the death of Senator Stockbridge. re- publican candidates for the legislature from this city are all against him, and if elected will vote for Burro’ The fact that he lost his own city In caucus and convention will be used with deadly effect against him. He is campaigning with Gov. Rich, and is making a general canvass of the state, but it will help bim little, if any. He hasn't the money to make a winning fight, while Bur- rows, though he has not meney of his own, has plenty of money back of him, in addi- tion to his wide reputation as a states- man. 8. S. Olds 1s as usual workirg in the dark, and not until the time comes to count the votes will it be krown how his chances stand. Jay Hubbeli will in all probability control the upper peninsula vote and even if not elected himself, he will play an important part in the election by the delivery of his votes at the cpportune time. Ex-Congressman James O'Donnell of Jackson showing symptoms of en- tering the race, but as yet his boom has not assumed tangible form. All the congressional nominations have now been made on the democratic side. In this district Gen. L. G. Rutherford of this city has been nominated to make the run against Wm. Alden Smith. Were it not that populists have a candidate and are making an active canvass, Rutherford would probably be elected and he may be as it is. He is the only democrat ever elected de- partment commander of the Michigan Grand Army, and would capture almost the ‘solid soldier vote in the district. He is a good speaker and will go out ‘among the farmers and workingmen and be one of them while Smith is campaigning in broad- cloth and patent leather shoes, and has to contend with the disadvantage of being a railroad attorney. Rutherford, by the way, is an anti-referee. Last spring at a meet- ing of the Jefferson Club, after the spring Diatines "os he magn! means hi Dickinson for tl cen! ry had made of the Michigan democracy. Bartworth, the democratic nominee in the second district, and Carleton, in the sev- enth, are also pronounced in their anti-sen- timents. Some Congressional Nominations. In the eleventh district H. B. Hudson of ‘Mancelona has been neminated. He made the run against Gen. Cutcheon six years ago, and was defeated, but will try it again against N. John Avery, the present incum- bent, renominated. Mr. Hudson is a vet- eran of the famous fourth Michigan cav- alry, and participated in the capture of Jeff. Davis. Levi T. Griffin has been renominated in the Detroit district to run against John B. Carliss. His renomination will sharply di- vide the Dickinson and Campau, the re- feree and antl-referee, factions, and were the republicans united he might be defeated, even with 3,000 or 4,000 democratic major- ity to help him through. Carliss, however, is of the Pingree faction in the republican party, and his nomination will draw the line between the Pingrees and the McMil- lans. Under the circumstances Grittin stands a pretty good chance to be re-elected. Congressman Justin R. Whiting of the seventh, who led the fight against referee- ism in the state convention and was 60 emphatically sat down upon by Dickin- son, has gone to New York, and thence will go to Washington. Before leaving, in an interview, he disclaimed any animosity against Fisher, in fi declared that if his health permitted would go on the stump for the dem: le ticket. Gov. McKinley wif’ visit Michigan this week. He will speak in Betroit and Jackson Thursday and in this city Friday. Assistant Secretary, of State Uhl will re- turn to Michigan next week for two weeks on the stump. Dated for Vice President Stevenson, Speaker Crisp and the other bright lights have not yet been: announced. Dickinson himself, it, is understood, will take the stump the, latter part of the month, and make half‘a dozen or more speeches, tet —— a THE MARYLAND’ CAMPAIGN Republicans Hopeful of Carrying Several Districta. The Contest in Baltimore City—Apathy Reported Among the Demo- crates There, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, October 11, 1804. The congressional nominations of the dif- ferent parties have been made and the ac- tive work of the campaign is now going on in all parts of the state. The candidates and other politicians interested in the elec- tion are going through the several districts working up enthusiasm and endeavoring to get the voters to prepare for the final con- test on November 6. Up to the present time the people gener- ally have manifested very little interest in the campaign. Only slight enthusiasm has been shown in any part of Baltimore or the adjacent counties. It ts a constant com- plaint at both the republican and demo- cratic headquarters that the voters in gen- eral “don't appear to care a continental” who is elected to represent Maryland in the lower house of Congress. This is said to be especially the case among the demo- crats, and the officials in charge of .the State headquarters are complaining that the apathy in the ranks of their party bodes sll for the success of their candidates in the close districts. Hopes are indulged in that a change may take place later in the month and electors aroused to the necessities of the situation, so that the returns of the balloting may not show too great a falling off as compared with former years. Republicans Hopeful in the Sixth. Mr. George L. Wellington, republican ecngressional candidate in the sixth dis- trict, made a hurried visit to his party | headquarters last night,- after a tour through Washington county, In conversa- tion with The Star correspondent he said that he was more hopetul than ever of his election by a large majority. He expects to carry every county ‘in the district by gcod majorities, ¢ and he is conude! | duce the democratic stronghold of the oppos e will greatly re- jority’ in that tion, He stated m united and working in, harmony, while the democrats were apathetic and ‘showed no | interest of any consequence in the cam- paign. “I shall be elected,” he said, “and that by a much larger majority than | a ticipated when 1 was nominated. ‘The r publicans are going ;to vote for me, and that means a large majority over my op- ponent, as the district ix safely republican whenever we get our,Vvote out.” Mr. Abraham Lineoin Dryden, the re- publican candidate for Congress in the first district, was also in town yesterday full of hope at the prospect for his success on November 6. He said? “The democratic candidate was nominated on an anti-Cleve- Jand platform, and miany of the Cleveland democrats will not vote. To offset this he is giving out quietly to the Cleveland demo- crats that he is anti-Gorman and anti- bson and is for Cleveland, and to the fol- lowers of Senators Gorman and Gibson he is posing as their friend and, as a result, he is being found out by both sides, and the republicans hope to reap the benefit of this double dealing. I chave every conti- dence that I shall be elected.” The Campaign in the Second. In the second district the fight is becom- ing very active. Mr. Talbott hopes to be re-elected, but by a reduced majority, while the republicans are working hard to de- feat him. The preachers are beginring to take a hand Ip the contest in behalf of Mr. Baker, the republican candidate, as-he is a church member, and the American Protec- live Association is sald to be working hard for the latter gentleman. As the demo- cratic majority is usually over 4,000 in this district, it is thought to be scarcely possible that Mr. Talbott can be beaten, even though his vote should fall off to a considerable extent. In the two city districts, while the demo- cratic vote may be reduced somewhat, both Mr. Rusk and Mr. Cowen will no doubt be elected by good mejorities. The democrats in the city are well organized, and the ma- chine has not lost any of its skill and cun- ning,and it will run at its usual high press- ure from now until the close of the polls on election day, with very nearly the usual democratic majority as a result. Chairman Rusk of the democratic city committee says that he has everything in excellent shape and does not anticipgie the slightest trouble in electing the candidates to Congress, and a majority of the city councti, as well as associate judge of the supreme bench. The Baltimore Convention. The republican city convention met last night and nominated Mr. John J. Dobler as candidate for associate judge of the su- preme bench, against States Attorney Charles G. Kerr, the democratic nominee. Mr. Dobler will have considerable support among the democrats, especially members of the bar and independents, with whom Mr. Kerr ts unpopular. The Evening News, one of the democratic papers, will also sup- port him, and advocate his election on the ground that Mr. Kerr is n t fit for judicial honors. The republicans are, therefore, in hopes of electing him. Ex-Congressman Henry Stockbridge, jr., was offered the re- publican nomination, but he declined, and made the speech placing Mr. Dobler before the convention, and the choice was made by acclamatio! — Many Policy Men Arrested. A raid upon a policy shop in Ensor street, Baltimore, Thursday afternoon by the police resulted in the capture of thirty- seven men—white and black — backers, ‘walking books” and players of the game. Several “books” and about $58 in cash were also secured. The prisoners held in $1,000 bend each for court.

EFFECT OF M'PHERSON'S WITHDRAWAL It Really Makes the Political Out- look Brighter. DEMOCRATS WHO MUST GO pa Special Correspomdence of The Evening Star. TRENTON, N. J., October 10, 1804. Everything in New Jersey and ever body is involved in the fight for the United States Senatorship. Now that Senator Me- Pherson has declared that he has had enough of pelitics it is anybody’s race. Al- though the republicans claim that the demo- crats are demoralized by McPherson's withdrawal, yet as a matter of fact the democratic cause is helped thereby. If a democratic legislature was elected this fali and McPherson had not drawn out of the race, he would, of course, have been re elected to the Senate. Nothing could have prevented it. McPherson is not popular with the New Jersey politicians and has not been for some time. The people of the state like him and admire him, but the men who manage the democratic caucuses do not. They have an idea that he despises them and they are inclined to return the compliment. Such being the case they could not have aroused any great amount of enthusiasm over the campaign, wher the only result if they were successful would have been the tri- umph of McPherson. With McPherson in the field there would have been indifference as to the result among the democratic poli- ticians that would have cost the party votes and probably the legislature. But now, with McPherson out, there is democratic enthusiasm. If a democratic legislature is elected any prominent dem- ocrat in the state can aspire to the senator- ship. There is no one man in the party just now who has erough influence or who towers sufficiently above the others to make his selection a certainty. Allan Me- Dermott and ex-Gov. Leon Abbett, it is true, ere still in high favor, but not enough but what anybody could enter the race with a good chance of winning. When James Smith, jr., was sent to the Senate it Jeft the democrats in New Jersey with a number of .eaders instead of the one who had gone, and ail these leaders want to be Senator. The result is that all of them will exert every influer-ce and every energy to make the state democratic this year, fe ing that the one who shows the most enthu- siasm and the greatest success in the cam- paign will be the one to receive the honor if the democrats carry the state. It will be a keen competition for democratic votes in all parts of the state, with a seat in the United States Senate as the reward. A Republican Senate. In this enthusiastic rivalry, based, as it is, upon purely seifish and personal mo- tives, the demovrats have a good start. But the republicans start off with pos: sion of the Senate. The Senate is gone be- yond recall, as eleven of the republicans, a majority of the whole body, hold over. It iz in the assembly districts that both parties must make their fight. The demo- crats carved out these assembly districts to suit themselves, and under ordinary circumstances would carry them as they saw to it that democr ities were arranged for in a the districts. tut much of the confidence that the demo: crats had concerning their ability to the assembly has been destroyed by decision of the supreme court. all right, tic major- ajority of the This deci- sion involved the methods of electing mem- It was rendered last t did not strike the s it does now, Now bers of the assembly. spring, but at the tim democrats so forcibly that the campaign is started they see the importance of the decision and the fact that it makes the assembly districts an even fight for both parties. The democrats, too, are divided by fac- tional fights. A great effort is being made by the state leaders to have the hatchet buried until after election, but in some of the counties the feeling is too bitter to al- low of this being done. In Hudson county the strife among the democrats is being carried on with great vigor. The two ele- ments of the “silk stockings” and the “short hairs” are at loggerheads and there seems to be no possible way in which they can get together this fall. In old Sussex county things are about as bad for the democrats. The democrats claim that Congressman Cornish is largely responsible for the fights there, and the republicans claim that Mr. Cornish’s career as a Congressman is at an end. In Monmouth ex-Senator Blodgett has again got his scalping knife at his girdle, and he declares that no democratic reform. er—that is, no democrat who joined the anti-race track people last fall and elected Bradley to the state senate—shall receive a place on the regular ticket. Two Democrats May Go. There are two congressional districts where the republicans expect to gain Con- gressmen. These district are now repre- sented by Congressman Cadmus and Geis- senhainer. Cadmus was denied a renomina- tion because of his vote against the Wilson bill. In doing this the democratic conven- tion stirred up the workingmen against their party. The workingmen believe in Cadmus and have always supported him loyally and they resent his defeat. Before the convention met it was generally ex- pected that Cadmus would be given a re- nomination. At least the people of the dis- trict thought so, whatever the politicians of his party had been thinking. But the con- vention had been carefully selected by the anti-Cadmus men.
