Henry Wilson is out again after a fall that has left various bruises and marks upon him. For some time he has been affected with rheumatism, finding it necessary to call assistance every time he wished to walk any distance. A few nights ago he attempted to walk home from his place of business, on M street, alone. When at the corner of Olive and 30th streets his legs gave away and he fell, striking his head violently against the curbstone. His brotker, Mr. Harrison Wilson, who re- sides in the neighborhood, was sent after by one who witnessed the fall, and with other assistance the victim was taken to bis heme, on upper 2th street. For two days he was prostrated through the shock received. Mr. John W. Mitchell, one of the Wash- ingtoniens to go with the Prof. McGee sci- entific party to the Island of Del Tiburon, in the northern part of the Gulf of Cali- fornia, is now doing newspaper work in San Francisco. Mr. Thomas Hyde, jr., is reported to be much better. ‘Ten bicycle boats, capable of carrying two passengers each, have been turned out from Passene’s boat house. They are all practical successes and can attain a higher rate cf speed than any that have yet been geen on the Potomac. Only 5,065 tons of coal were shipped through on the canal last week. This rep- resented about one-thirteenth of the coal mined and shipped last week from Cum- berland. The break was responsible for the short cargoes; this week there will be a swoop of boats upon the town. Sixty of the beats caught on the other side of the break will come in today and tomorrow. The official watch that is being kept upon the street sweepers has done much for Georgetown’s highways. Last night’s work was thoroughly done. The streets present a clean appearance today. Heretofore the citizens say, those on the heights particu- larly, the Sweepers have gone over their section in a very slipshed way. Often they let the refuse lay in the gutters where it was swept by the machines. The contempiated Dunbarton Church re- construction has been laid aside till the fall, The work will then be rushed with all the haste consistent with a thorough joi: Contributions to the building fund have been coming in in a very encouraging amount, while there is in prospect suff- cifent donations to warrant the taking of active steps. Local Notes of —o—__ Despondent ‘Over His Affairs. Hanson L. Withers, jr., of Philadelphia, the twenty-cight-year-old son of wealthy parents, and prominent socially both in Baltimore and in the Quaker city, attempt- ed su‘cide Tuesday by shooting himeelf in the head at the Mount Vernon Hotel in Baltimore. It is asserted that he also tried to shoot Walter B. Pierce, aged twenty-six, whom he was visiting, and whose apart- ments at the Mount Vernon he was sharing when the affair happened. Everything seems to have pointed to the fact that Withers has been drinking heavi- ly of late, that he was despondent over an unsuccessful love affair, was worried about money matters, and that if he really at- tempted.to.shoot Mr. Pierce it was the re- sult of neryoustiess or a temporary mental aberration. “~~ i ALABAMA ELECTION State Officers and Legislature to Be Chosen Next Monday. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STRUGGLE A Comprehensive and Instructive Review of the Situation. CLAIMS OF BOTH SIDES Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 30.—Alabama will hold her election Monday next for state and county officers and members of the legislature. The legislature elected will when it meets next November, choose a suc- cessor to United States Senator James I. Pugh, whose term of office expires on March 4, 1897. Much interest attaches to the out- come of the election, because it 1s generally accepted that it will indicate the populist strength in the south since the action of the democratic convention In Chicago and of the populist convention in St. Louis. It will, as a matter of fact, be the first election held in any of the states since the national conventions of the parties have acted. The result here, therefore, is expected to fore- cast the outcome in the south on a limited scale as regards the November election. Conditions are peculiar in Alabama at this time. The situation is decidedly mixed to say the least. It has been the custom of the populist and republican parties in thir state to form a fusion against the demo- cratic party, and this program was carried out this year. Four years ago the fusion proved very formidable, and Gov. Jone: democrat, was elected by the narrow ma- Jority of only 11,000 votes. Two years ago Oates, democrat, was elected governor by a majority of 26,000 votes. One populist*Con- gressman was declared elected from the re- sult In 1894, and two republicans and one additional populist were given their seats in Congress on contests from this state. Plan of the Present Fusion. Early this year the populist and republi- can leaders agreed upon a plan of fusion, which was carried into effect at the state conventions of the two parties, which met at Montgomery, April 28. It was that the populists should have the gubernatorial nomination and all of the state office nom!- nations, except two, which were to go to the republicans. This was put into effect, and Congressman Albert T. Goodwyn, who was given the seat of Congressman J. E. Cobb from the fifth district on contest, was nominated by the populists for governor, and was in turn indorsed by the two re- publican conventions, there being two con- ventions of the latter party because of a split on national politics, both being in ac- cord, however, on the matter of fusion in the state campaign. The silver faction in the democratic party triumphed in Alabama, as it did in all the southern states, and Capt. Joseph F. John- ston of this city was nominated by the demo- crats for governor. This nomination was made in April, two weeks prior to the nom!- nation of Goodwyn by the opposition. There had been a bitter factional fight among the gold and silver democrats, but after the victory of the latter all united in the sup- port of the state ticket, deciding not to let national issues keep them apart in the mat- ter of electing a state democratic ticket. Fusion on the Electoral Ticket. ‘The campaign has not until very recently grown active, as all hands seemed to be awaiting the outcome ofthe various con- ventions. The republicans in this state were totally unprepared for anything Mke a fusion between the populists and demo- and at a meeting of their state ex- ‘€ committee here about three weeks ago sent a subcommittee to the populist leaders and requested the latter to give them some assurance that the populists would fuse with them on an electoral tick- et, or, rather, would support the republi- can electoral ticket in return for republican support of the state fusion ticket, the re- publican committee concluding that the Populists were still due the former some- thing besides the two state offices which Were given them on the state fusion ticket. The reply of the populist leaders was for the republicans to wait until after the na- tional populist convention had acted. Now that that convention has acted, all chances for fusion between the two parties on an electoral ticket are killed, and the repub- Ncans have put out a straight electoral ticket of their own, and during the na- tional campaign will paddle their own ca- However, the trade between the republi- can and populite parties with reference to the state ticket and with regard to county tickets where fusion has been effected, us has been the case in many counties, still stands. Effect of Free Silver on Popnlists. But in the meantime many things have cccurred to weaken the combine. To begin with the adoption of the free coinage idea, both by the democratic state and national conventions, has caused many popullsts to come back to the democratic party. Their excuse for such action has been that they left the party because It had folowed Cleve- land and departed from its uncient tercts: that now It has come back to their way of thinking, and they are again a part and parcel of it. This is the view of Philanader Morgan, a brother of United States Senator John T. Morgan, who was a prominent leader among the populists, and could have had the populist nomination for governor would he have accepted. Another thing which has hurt Goodwyn to no small extent among his white followers was his action in voting while in Congress last spring to scat the negro, George W. Murray, who success- fully contested the seat of Col. William Elliott from the seventh South Carolina district. It appears that Goodwyn was the only populist who voted for Murray, and this has been pointed to as Indicating that he favors negro rule. While his voze has strengthened him very much among the negroes it has hurt him extensively among the whites. In several imstances county candidates on the fusion ticket have come down and quit the populist in one county the populist chairman resigned, all because Goodwyn voted for the negro. They so stated in newspapers cards. The democrats have, of course, made the most of this incident, and the sJemocratic cam- paign committee has had printed thou- sands of copies of a picture representing the negro, Murray, side by side with Colonel Elliott, whose seat he was given, with this inscription under the picture: “Look on this picture, then on that; Goodwyn voted for the negro.” Still another thing that has operated against the fusion ticket has been the fact that there is nothing now in com- mon between the republican and populist parties as regards their platforms in the nation, one being for free silver and the other favoring the gold stancarl. Honest Elections the Issue. Leaders of both parties, however, have disposed of this-by saying that the over- shadowing issue in Alabama is honest elec- tions, and ag that Is a local question here natioal politics are not in it. This has been generally accepted as an explanation by the rank and file until since the action of the St. Louis populist convention. The republicans had all along hoped for popu- list aid on their electoral ticket, but now, seeing the chance for that is gone, the re- publicans are growing very restless, and were the state election to occur a month hence instead of next Monday it is probable that few republicans would be found voting for the fusion ticket. As matters stand, it {s not probable that many republicans will bolt the fusion nominees. They say that it is and should be made a local fight and that national questions should not be al- lowed to interfere, though no small num- ber of them say that they will never vote for any silver candidate, Goodwyn or any- body else. The Democratic Party United. As to democratic affairs, it can be truth- fully stated that that party is absolutely united so far as the state and county tick- ets are concerned. Gold and silver advo- cates are alike on the stump pleading for Johnston’s election. Congressman R. H. Clarke, who was the sound money candi- date for the democratic gubernatorial nom- imation against Capt. Johnston, has done very effective work for the iter. His plea has been for all democrats to stand by the nominee and maintain democratic su- icon «A in the state. Democratic orators ve been imported from other states, among them being Gov. McLaurin of Mis- sissipp!, Gov. Atkinson of Georgia, Con- = Livingston of Georgia and others. special plea of nearly sil the demo- cratic 8] has been directed toward the populists, for them to return to the democratic fold and stand by the white man’s party. This plea has been very ef- fective of late. But the Popullete have not been idle. They have imported such speakers as Gen. Jas. B. Weaver, who took the stump today, Cyclone Davis of Texas, who is now making his second tour of the state, J. R. Sovereign, grand master work- man of the Knights of Labor, and others, Watson’s Refusal to Spenk. Tom Watson of Georgia was urged by Marion Butler, national populist chairman, to ccme to this state and speak for Good- Wyn, but he declined, saying that he would do nothing until Bryan said whether or not he would accept the St. Louis nomination. This has been a matter of no little disap- pointment to the Alabama populist lead- ers, who are making strenuous efforis to carry the state to prove that the populisis can control this and some of the other Southern states, thus emphasizing the ne- cessity for Bryan to accept Watson as his running mate to help him secure the south. Populist leadcrs fear that if Alabama goes democratic by a large majority Wat- son's chances to stand as the vice presi- dential nominee will be very all, The situation at this time, as heretofore stated, is very much mixed. ‘The result will have ro bearing on republican national Politics, as the vote of that party will be virtually absorbed by the populists. It will, however, be significant of the Strength in the south. Democrat: agers confidently figure that John carry the state by from 30,000 to 60, jority, with a democratic legislature. They say that the chances for dem atic suc- cess have not been so bright before in six years. On the other hand populist lead- ers assert that Goodwyn will win, if he gets a fair deal at the ballot box. E. P. 8, PINGREE IN THE LEAD Race for the Gubernatorial Nomination in Michigan. Activity Among the Republicans— Place Taken by Silver as an Issue —Holding the Primaries, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 28, 1896. The republican gubernatorial tight has been reduced to the field against Pingree, with Col. A. T. Bliss at the head of the field list. Pingree has been making such pro- gress in his canvass, capturing delegation after delegation in county conventions, that the old workers and the administration forces have become thoroughly alarmed, and all sorts of combinations and ¢ sare being resorted to to head him off. The de- feat of Pingree means much to the machine and administration. Should he capture the nomination and be elected, instead of using the present machine, he would ere t one of his own, and the old party managers would be relegated to a great deal more obscurity than they are accustomed to, and in the distribution of patronage and the shaping of policy they would have not @ word. As for the administration forces, with Pingree in the executive chair, they would find it necessary to find other employment, where the salary might not be so substan= tial and the work more arduous. With the machine it is a fight for supremacy, and with the present office-holders it is a con- test to hold their jobs, and both elements Will not hesitate at any means to accom- plish their ends. Half the Conv: ions Held. About half of the county conventions have been held thus far, and the others will be heard from this week. Thus far Pingree is well in the lead, and he ts gaining stead- ily, but has yet far from enough to nomi- nate. The anti-Pingree element is center- ing as much.as possible on Bliss as ite Moses, and the smaller booms will be putied oft as rapidly and effect as possible. Conant, Aitken, O'Donnell ‘and Wheeler will be accorded the honors of a compli- mentary vote on the first ballot, and then will be expected to fall into 1 for the Saginaw man. Sut, however willing the candidates may be to fall into the Bliss line, the candidates will be unable to deliver the goods in any such quantities as may be demanded by the exigencies of the case. Aitken can control his county delegation to a considerable extent, and so can O' Don- nell, but the delegations in the trail of the other candidates will break away after the first ballot, and the second or third ballot will finish the business. The first ballot will show the relative strengths of the six candidates. Pingree and Bliss will be far in the lead, but neither probably will have a majorit ‘On the second ballot the subordinate can- Cidates may be voted for by their respeo- tive courty delegations, but there will be a breaking away for one or the other lead- ing candidates. If Bliss cannot get the nomination on the second ballot, it is pre- dicted that O'Donnell will come to the front as a dark horse and receive the Bliss strength and the followers of some of the other candidates. The Aitken strength will probably go 1)» Pingree. Wheeler's votes will go to Bliss, or at least a majority of them are being so counted, while Pingree will capture the big end of the Conant strength, The solid 97 votes from Wayne county, nearly an elghth of the entire convention, and which he will control as completely as though It were his own ballot, will be an important factor in the contest with the numerous posstbilitles for making trades and combinations with other candidates. If Pingree is nominated the entire ticket will be of the Pingree complexion and the state platform will be Pingreeish in its tendencies, The financial plank in the state platform will be more liberal in t dire. tion of stiver than the St. Louis dech ration, and it may be so anyway, to hold the silver vote, although the machine will insist upon an unqualified indorsement of the national plank. ingree and Silver. The silver sentiment has been a great help for Pingree in his canvass. The silver sentiment fs strong in the state with the republicans as well as the democr and no one realizes this better than the cans didates for offices in the eighty-four coun- ties in the state. The St. Louis platform, with its gold plank, is not calculated to w cver the silverites, while the Chic form is catching them by the whol Albert Williams of Ionia, one of the very few survivors of the first republican con- vention in this state end one of the organtz- crs of the party, has gone over to the de- mocracy in the present campaign, although he is over eighty years old. S. Watkins, for years warden of the Ionia house of cor- rection under reputlican administrations; «x-Congressman Webber, ex-Secretary of State E. G. D. Holder, Judge J. G. Rams- dell, Charles R. Sligh and cthers, promt- rent and active republicans, have bolted the republican platform and are speaking at Bryan and Sewall ratification meetings. The Michigan populiste will vote for the Chicago ticket and platform, and the silver wing of the prohibition party will fall into the same camp. With tre silver republicans bolting and the silver democrats, populists and prohi- bitionists acting together, the republican candidates for county and other offices are anxious that a men be put at the head of the republican ticket who will in a measure hold the silver vote, and they look upon Pingree as the man He is pronounced in his favorable views on the silver ques- tion and his anti-corporation, anti-machine views are such as will catch a lot of votes. Pingree has workers in nearly every county who feel that his interests are bound with their own, and they are doing they can to help him through. The con- gressional candidates in several of the dis- tricts feel the same way, and most of them ere giving Pingree the benefit of their mora] support, even though they do not come out openly for him. —_——_ An Old Ch mati Priest Dead.
