SPLITS AND FIGHTS Confusion Without Fusion in Alabama Politics. GOLD DEMOCRATS ARE ACTIVE | The Populists Utterly at Loss What to Do. REPUBLICAN FACTION Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., August 17, 1896. Now that the exictement from the recent state electton is over political lines for the nstional contest are being rapidly formed in Alabama. Conditions will be entirely dif- ferent in the national fight from whet they were in the state campaign. The latter wes @ contest between a united democracy on one side against the combined forces of pepulism and republicanism. It resulted in a substantial victcry for the democrats. But no sooner was the election over than the democracy began to split. Just what the rupture will amount to cannot now be said, but it promis:s to be much more serious than the party leaders seem to think.. Of course, it grows out of the oppo- sition among sound money democrats to the Chicago platform. “These sound moncy democrats would take no action until vic- tory had been secured for the state ticket and they did all that was in their power to bring about that victory, for they re- garded that democratic safety at home was the first thing to be destred. But with that matter settled they began to turn their at- tention to national affairs. The first step was taken in Montgomery, where a large scund money club was formed and the *hicago platform denovnced. Then a del gate was sent to the Indianapolis confer ence to let it be known there that Alabama was in the sound money movement. Upon that conference calling a national conven- on, new life was given to the movement in this state, and last Monday night big sound money clubs were formed in Bir- mingham and Eufauia. The club here has a membership of about 700, among whom are nearly all the leading business and pro- fessional men of this city. ‘A call has been issued for county mass Meetings of sound money democrats who are opposed to the Chicago platform, to he held on the 2{th, for the purpose of select- ing delegates to a state convention, which has been called to meet in Montgomery the 2ith instant for the purpcse of naming del- egates to the Indianapolis convention and expressing its sent'ments with reference to the Chicago platform. The democratic primsries last April showed the sound ™money democrats in Alabama to be 60,000 strong. Jt is quite certain that a very large numver w ll be found supporting the Ind’an- apolis nominee. It looks as if the mov ment will pe stronger in this state than any of the other gulf states, with the pos- sible exception of Texas. Popalists Waver. Just what action the Alabama populists will take in the national contest has not yet been outlined. The party was so badly crushed at the recent state clection that its leaders do not seem to know just what to do. They acknowledge their defeat at last, and have ceased to cry fraud, since it has been demonstrated that the democrati state ticket has a majority outside of the black counties, where the populists have heretofore charzed that wholesale frauds were perpetrated. The fact that the demo- crats have adopted the essential principles of the populist platform has caused very Many popul.sts to come back to the demo- cratic party, while at the same time it has probably driven out more democrats from the organizetion than populists who have come in. Th2 result of this has been not only to crush the populists at the recent state election, but it has left the populist organization on what seems to be its last legs. It was expected that ere now the populist state committee would have been called together to outline a course of ac- tion, but it has not. There is no populi electoral ticket In the field, nor has any- thing been done officially to indicate which way the populist organization will throw its influence. There is a difference of opin- ion among populist leaders as to what should be done. One element favors in- dorsement of Bryan and Sewall, while an- other wants a straight populist electoral ticket for Bryan and Watson named. There are others stil! who would not object to fusing with the republicans on a McKinley electoral ticket. In the light of this mix- ture the populist machine stands still, and many believe that it will take no action and put vut no ticket. but will leave the members of the party to vote as they see fit. Republican Split. With all this mixture in populist affairs, the republicans of Alabama are confronted by a new and what may prove to be a seri- ous trouble. Dr. R. A. Moseley, for years republican state chairman and the ruling spirit in the affairs of that party in this state, is about to bolt the state machine. It will ve recalled that last winter when a bitter fight sprang up in Alabama between the McKinley and anti-McKinley forces, Dr. Moseley was the leader of the antls, and did all he could to give the delegation of this state to Reed. At St. Louis the Mc- Kinley ccntesting delegates were seated. Dr. Moseley claims that the Vaughan or McKinley committee, pectenzet at St. Louis, has exceeded its authority, and he has called tis old committee to meet Sep- tember 5 to reorganize and set up as the regular committee. It is said that ft will also put out a separate electoral ticket for McKinley and Hobart. Moseley has a strong hold on the negroes, and may be able to give the Vaughan managers much trouble. EP. 8. —- > GO TO WORK. CRISP WILL The Ex-Speaker Apprehensive of Populist Gat Special Dspateh to The Bvening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., August 20.—Ex-Speaker c. F. Crisp returned here today, after a rest of two months in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. He says that he ts feeling in much better health than he did when Congress adjourned. Judge Crisp will take the stump in this state at an early day, possibly next week. He has to do some speaking and working, as the populists are making a special effort to cap- ture the legislature. They will trade county offices with the prohibitionisis and repub- Means for members of the general assembly. ‘Their purpose is to elect Tom Waison to the United Stat Benate by combining with the republicans, prohibitionists and inde- pendent democrats. Seabotn Wright, the fusion nominee for governor, opened his campaign in Atlanta this week. speaking to about 4.000. Mr: Wright is making appeals to the old con- federate veterans, the prohibitionists and the negroes. He is playing on the feelings of the faction of democrats who supported General C. A. Evans two years ago. This faction is strong, and it still resents the defeat of its candidate, an old soldier. Two years ago the veterans elther voted largely against Atkinson or remained away from the polls. Mr. Wright is reminding them of their grievance, and at the same time is picturing what the fustonists will do for the old soldiers if he is elected. Mr. Wright says that the investigation of the management of the state convicts in- stituted and directed by Governor Atkinson was # grand stand play for the negro vote. He ceckares that if the chi convict lessees were true they should not have bean let off with the payment of money, but should have been sent to the penitentiary. Dr. J. B. Gambreil, the leading Baptist preacher in Georgia, has taken the stump for the prohibitionists. He is an old cam- paigner, and nakes an effective speech. He seys that the fusionists will get all the negro eburch element and the democrais will get the rest. A recent convert to the fusionists is Hoop- er Alexander, who has long been an ardent advocate of President Cleveland and the single gold standard, He will support Wright, he say party is run by es against the because the democratic & machine, EXPLANA1ORY NOTE: Observations taken at § a.m., ‘1 @ Partly Cougy pipacksorvl® @ cia, . @ fan, oe @snom ron ars, or lines cf equal air pressure, drawn for each teuth of an inch, Dotted Ines are isotherms, or Unes of equal temperature, drawn for each ten degrees.

The Structure to Be Finished by the First of the Year—Many Repairs Needed About Town. The work on the new Union depot, at the corner of 36th and M streets, is being pushed forward to completion as rapidly as possitle, and it 1s expected to have the buflding completed before the end of the year. A large force of men ure at work daily. ‘The iron workers are making great prog- ress, and will soon be through their part of the work. The iron framework is now constructed to the top floor, which is on a level with the grade of Prospect avenue. The iron work on all of the lower floors has been completed, and only a few more beams remain to be put in place on the top floor, together with the roofing. The brickwork is being put up at a speedy rate. The retaining walls on the north sfde and part of the east side run clear up to the top of the proposed building, while the walls for the ether two sides have reached to the beginning of the third floor, The front of the building will pre sent a pretty architectural appearance. The first floor front is constructed of masonry, with ornamentations, and a mas- sive-looking center piece, with entrances on either side for the cars to enter and leave the building. The side wall has been built up to the level of the front, and is of heavy, dark brick, laid in colored mor- tar. West of 36th street a two-story stable has been erected, which presents a very retty appearance. Pithe rails for the curve upon which the cars will be turned have all been latd, and the cable now hums merrily through the conduit underneath. No more tracks will be laid until the building is completed. Repairs Needed. The police complaint record book for yes- terday shows a number of repairs that are necessary in this section of the city, espe- cially in the line of the water department. It seems as though almost all of the hy- drants in this section of the city are out of repair. The hydrant at the corner gf and N streets is leaking badly, while the one located at the northeast corner of ‘3d and P streets ts in a stiil worse condition. The hydrant at the southwest corner of Prospect avenue and 37th street 1s out of repair, and af this is the only source for five or six squares of the residents of the neighborhood getting water there 1s a great deal of inconvenience caused. The hydrant on 20ih street near the canal is also leak- ing. The old pump at the corner of 33d and N streets is out of order and needs atten- tion. There are a number of other minor things needing the attention of the proper authorities. The west guard rail on the bridge at 33d street crossing the canal 1s broken off, making it extremely dangerous walking after dark. There is a dangerous hole in the sidewalk on the south side of P street between 31st and 32d streets. A filthy sewer trap is reported in front of premises 3221 O street. Laying Electric Conduits. The work of laying the conduits under ground for the Potomac Electric Light and Power Company has now reached 32d street, and that thoroughfare now presents a torn-up appearance. Pending the laying of the terra cotta and sheet iron conduit pipes the traffic on the east side of the street suffers, and the business houses are inconvenienced to a considerable extent. The work is being done with a large force of laborers, as rapidly as possible, so as to inconventence the people as little as pos- sible. The conduit will be laid as far up as U street. Claimed the Pigeo A carrier pigeon, nearly starved and ex- hausted, dropped in the yard of the engine house yesterday, and was found by Fire- man Harper, who picked it up and cared for the bird.

PROBABLE:'*RESULT ae ES Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. MEMPHIS, August 18, 1896. The tenth congressional district is at present the scene of the last rally of the advocates of the gold standard in Tenne: see. In the sixth district Joseph E. Wash- ington, who now represents it In Congress, withdrew from the contest for the demo- cratic nomination on the ground that he is not in accord’ with the platform of the democratic party as adopted at Chicago. Mr. John Weslcy Gaines of Nashville, who looks something like William McKinley, Napoleon and that stripe of men, has ob- tained the nomination. He is an uncom- promising free silver man, and as there ts a large element of sound money people in Nashville, the republicans, the sound mon- ey democrats and some of the populists may combine against him. The chances are, however, t aines will be elected. pen Fight. A hot contest between silverites in the eighth congressional district has just been decided in favor of T. W. Sims over ex- Congressman B. A. Enloe, the editor of the Nashville Sun, Mr. Enloe made consider- able reputation in Congress in connection with pension investigations, and he repre- sented the people of the eighth district for several terms. Four years ago he was elected to Congress by a plurality of 115 votes, and two years ago he was defeated by a republican-populist nominee. His 1 moval to Nashville is regarded as having affected his chances of receiving the nomi- ration in his old district. The fight by tween him and Sims has been a bitter one, and Enloe charges that the returns were forged in the interest of his opponent. At the meeting of the democratic utive committee yesterday a great afti- davits were read to prove fraud, but the committee declared Sims the nominee by a majority of G72 over Enioe. The repub ‘an candidate in this district will be the ent incumbent, John McCall. A very close contest is promised in Novem- ber, as the democratic candidates for the court of chancery appeals carried the di trict in the recent election by a narrow majorit; There is a so an inflamed contest in t seventh district. betw Congressman > N. Cox and W. C. Whitthorn, state sen. tor. Both are ardent silver men, and both claim the nomination. The settlement of their conflicting claims will have to be left to a convention. In the third district Judge John A. Moon of Chattanooga reeei the democratic nomination unanimously, but he will have a hard t. to carry the district. Jo Patterson's Position. In the tenth district the sound morey democrats are making a vigorous fight Mr. Josiah Patterson has taken an exactly opposite stand from Congressman Wash- ington. Fcur years ago the national de- mocracy adopted a sound money platform which was not in accord with tne views of the silver men. On that platform M Cleveland, who was Known to be te ably opposed to the free coinage of silve was elected. Nearly every application f office mad> to Col. Patterson came from free silver men. He did not draw the upon them on account of their finan views. Col. Patterson seems to think that If the: gentlemer could apply to a sound mon Congressman to secure offices for from a sound money Presid: nd re in the party fighting for free silver aga the administration and the platform, there is no reason why he shouil not be didate for the democratic nom though not in accord with the Chicago plat- form. If, say the friends of Patte nator Harris could with propriety within the democratic party for free silver, why shouid not he with equal propriety fight within the party for sound money? Strong Opposition, On this ground Col. Patterson has de- clined to Ne down and allow himself to be promenaded upon by the silverites. But the opposition to him is very aggressive and it requires some very shrewd guessing to say who will be the next Congressman from this district. There are four countles in this congressional district. The largest of these, Shelby, has a population of 11: 740, while the other three, Hardeman, Tip- ton and Fayette, combined, have a popula- tion of only 74,178. As Shelby has three- fifths of the population she has nearly ways had the naming of a congression rominee, but In the gubernatorial election of two years ago the democrats of this county, apprehending no danger to party nominees, did not turn out, and a very small vote was cast. The last state convention, taking this vote as a basis, reduced Sheiby’s propor- tion of delegates below that of Tipton county, so that if a convention should be held in this district on that apportionment, Shelby, with three-fifths of the population’ would ‘have only about one-fourth of the representation In the convention. It is as serted that this thing was fixed up Nashville by the enemies of Col. Patterson for the purpose of freezing him out. Primary Machinery. The custom has been here to hold pri- maries in the counties, and the candidate having the majority of all the votes cast becaine the nominee. The anti-Patterson men resolved to change this and have a convention. To do this, however, it was necessary to change one of the members of tke congressional committee. In this committee Shelby county had elected two members who are Patterson men. Tipton and Hardeman had elected two who are opposed to Patterson, while Fayette county had a contest. A returning board decided that Patterson had received the congres- sional nomination, and also passed upon the election of committeemen. On the face of the returns from Fayette John Green Hendon was elected committeeman, but his opponent, a Dr. Albright, claimed that the votes of two of the precincis had miscarried, and that they would show that he had re- celved a majority of the votes cast. The returning board, by a unanimous vote, de- cided the contest in favor of Hendon, who is a Patterson man. When the congressional committee met a short time ago the silver men revived this contest. The chairman of the committee decided that the contest was already set- tled, and he refused to reopen it. It was a very lively session of the committee, and the free silver men, who were present in large rumbers, were very indignant. The result was that the two committeemen from Tipton and Hardeman counties got tegether with Albright and they elected two committeemen for Shelby county, and have ordered a convention, while the original committee, following the custom, have or- dered a primary. A Red-Headed Hotspur. Col. Patterson has offered himself as a candicate before the primary and Mr. E. ‘W. Carmack fs a candidate before the con- vention. Mr. Carmack is young and red- headed, and he believes that free silver is the cure-ali for the nation’s woes. He is an oratorical Hotspur, and when he gets before a free silver audience he sweeps them like a prairie fire. He is one of the most interesting personalities in Tennessee politics today. He first came into promi- nence by his withering arraignment of the populists. Particularly did he wage war on John H. McDowell, the populist mogal of Tennessee. Now, however, he has struck a truce with his cld foes, and an effort is being made to enlist them in his support. There is some talk, however, of his hav- ing oppcsition in the convention, but the chances are that he will be easily nomi- rated. Col. Patterson is the ablest representative Tennessee has had in Congress for many a year, and he has a large number of friends among the free silver people. There can be no doubt that in a fair primary he would eusily defeat Carmack, but as it Is, FINANCIAL GC. T.
