10 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1896—-TWELVE PAGES A DOUBTFUL STATE Political Conditions in Alabama Have Undergone a Change. - SOUND HONEY MOVEMENT RESPONSIBLE Probable Deal Between Gold Dem- ocrats and Republicans. SILVER LEADERS ALARMED Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., September 6, 1896. Political conditions in Alabama have un- dergone a very marked change within the rast ten days. Prior to that time the Bryan | and Sewall ticket had, in the language of the street, to all appearances a “lead pipe cinch" on the electoral vote of this state, but such Is not the case now. In the light of events which have developed during that time, and which are still developing, it does not take a very keen observer of political affairs to tell that Alabama is today a doubtful state. This statement may appear somewhat extravagant in the light of the democratic majority of something like 38,000 as the result of the state election held Au- gust 3, but a brief analysis of the situation | as it presents itself now will eastly convince the most skeptical that no man can tell with any degree of accuracy at this stage | just where Alabama's electoral yote will be found in November. The cause of this con- | dition can be summed up briefly by saying that the sound money democratic move- ment is responsible for it. “An Analysis of Votes. At the August state election there were cast 128,365 democratic votes for Capt. Joseph F. Johnston for governor. At the democratic primaries iast April Congress- man R. H. Clarke, democratic candidate fer the gubernatorial nomination, received something like 60,000 votes, all of whom voted for Johnston at the state election. It is quite certain that no silver advocates voted for him, so that it can be safely sald that nearly half of the democrats in /la- bama last April were advocates of sound money. There was no republican candidate for governor at the August election, prac- tically all of the members of that party un- der a fusion plan casting thelr ballots for Congressman Goodwyn, the populist can- Gidate. The republican vote for Harrison in this state, however, in 1892, was 9,1 which did not near represent the full repub- { lican strength, as there was an agreement between the populists and republicans whereby Weaver's electors, if elected, were to be delivered to Harrison in case they were needed to elect the latter, consequently ny Tepublicans that year voted for ver with this end in view, the repub- lican electoral ticket having been put out more to keep up the party organization than for any other purpose. In fact, a iarge majority of republicans in Alabama cast their ballots for the populist candidate four years ago in furtherance of this ar- rangement. The republican vote in Ala- bama in 1888 was 5,197. It is a conserva- tive estimate to say that today there are at least ican voiers in this state ‘The number of votes received by the populist candidate for governor at the st election of this year was $0,107, but | e not all populists, fully half of j them being republicans, so that the populist strength on this estimate is not over forty ifty thousand, the balance being repub- ns who voted the populist ticket in car- rying out the plan of fusion of the two parties in state offices. Sound Money Combine Likely. This fusion of populists and republicans no longer exists_in Alabama, so far as the presidential contest is concerned. E‘Torts at fusion between democrats and popullsts, if any have been made, have also failed, and the populists at their state committee meeting here last Thursday put out a full Bryan and Watson electoral ticket. ‘There are also three other electoral ticket3 in the field, viz: A Bryan and Sewall tick- a Palmer and Buckner ticket, and a Me- y and Hobart ticket. if all four K ¥ of these tickets remain in the field Bryan and Sewall will probably win, despite the slump of a large slice of-the sound money vote to Palmer and Buckner. But a move- ment is ngw on foot looking to a union of the republican and sound money demo- cratic vote. It looks at this time as if the combine will be effected, too. If it is and if the sound money democrats only poll three-fourths of the strength they showed at the April primaries and the republicans show a strength of but 50,000, which must be regarded as a low esti- mate, the combine will be able to beat the regular democratic ticket. What Silver Leaders Contend. Silver democratic leaders contend, how- ever, that the sound money democratic ticket instead of controlling 45,000 votes will not have a strength of over twenty thousand. Well-posted politicians think, howe’ that the silver men are too muca disposed to underestimate the strength of the Indianapolis movement in this state. is pointed out that the force of the new move is well Indicated, when it 1s con- sidered that when it was’ but two weeks old in this state it held a state conven- tion, at which forty-one of the sixty-six counties were represented, and that, too, by some of the oldest, most representative and ablest democrats in Alabama, and that the movement has been gathering strength very rapidly, especially since the action at Indianapolis, the nominations of Palmer and Buckner being regarded by democrats of all shades of opinion In this state as being unusually strong. Besides, the Mont- gomery Advertiser, the most powerful po- Utical paper in the state, alded by a dozen or more of the leading weekly journal are backing the Indianapolis ticket. Sound money leaders, while confessing the in- | ability of their ticket to control the full sound money strength of the state, be- Heve that it can poll fully three-fourths of The Probable Deal. It is not yet known what shape the pro- posed co-operation between the sound mon- ey democrats and republicans will take. Republican leaders seem very anxious to effect some sort of an atrangement with the aw party, not so much with a view of carrying Alabama for McKinley as for the purpose of preventing Bryan from getting the state. At their meeting here on Thu day last the republican state execut committee talked and conferred all day on this matter, and it is sald that the commit- tee was practically unanimous on the prop- osition that it would be better for them to make some sert of an arrangement with the Indianapolis democrats, even to the extent of pulling down their own ticket and voting fer Palmer and Buckner, if neces- sary, than to risk an opportunity which, if Pot properly avatied of, will result in Bry- an getting the state sure. With this end in view, the committee empowered the chair- man to appoint a campaign committee,who in turn will name an advisory committee that is given plenary power to confer with the sound money democrats and do what- ever they deem best. Just what proposition the republicans will advance cannot yet be said. It is Stated that, first, they will offer to take the negroes off the republican electoral ticket and to lend ald to sound money dem- ecratic Congressmen in certain districts if the Indiarapolis democrats will agree to vote for McKinley. This proposition is not likely to be accepted, for several reasons, so sound money men say. One is that they are oppesed on general principles to voting the republican ticket, and still another is that they are determined to keep up their party organization, claiming, as they do, to he the rightful party, and, besides, had they cared to vote for McKinley they would net have taken all the trouble to participate tn the Indianapolis convention. It is believed that then the republicans will offer to pull down their electoral ticket and vote fer Palmer and Buckner, provided that the sound money democrats will agree to fuse with them on Congressmen, the re- publicans raming three er four of the nine congressie nal candidaies and the In@lanar- lis democrats the remainder, and both parties voting fer these candidates. If any arrangeme is effected, this serms the mest probable, and it does not appear at all uulikely that it be ac- complished. If it is, the race will be de- cidédly close in this state, with the chances favoring the Palmer ticket. Alarmed at the Prospect. ‘The silver democratic leaders are un- doubtedly alarmed at this prospect. The leaders outside of the state seem to realize and appreciate the situation better than those at home. It is stated on good au- thority that Senator James K. Jones, na- tional democratic chairman, has suggested to the local leaders that they offer to the populists four or five places on the Chi- cago democratic electoral ticket. The lead- ers in this state know the temper of Ala- bama democrats better than does Senator Jones, and up to date have not only taken no cognizance of such a suggestion, so it is said, but have not even seriously consid- ered it. They well know, so it is stated, that to put populists on the democratic ticket would not only drive the remaining sound money democrats from the demo- cratic household, but would also fail to command the full populist vote in this state, as the middle-of-the-road element are sore on the democrats because f al- leged election frauds committed in the past, and are bent on voting for Bryan and Wat- son, and will positively refuse to affiliate in any manner with the democrats, whom they regard here in Alabama as their mor- tal enemies. 1t might be added, too, that the middle-of-the-road populists are in con- trol of the populist party machinery, and have relegated Kolb and all cthers disposed to conciliation to the rear. : The Populist Position, The populist party organization is bit- terly opposed to any surrender to the dem- ccrats or to any division except on equal terms, which, as is conceded, the demo- crats would not consent to, even were they to consider fusicn at all. Meanwhile the Populist committee, in accordance with the bewer granted it at the populist state con- vention at Montgomery last April, has gone to work and put out a complete Bryan and Watson electoral ticket, and there is every reason to believe that {t will not only remain in the field, but that it will command the large bulk of populist sup- pert. To pull down this ticket, populist leaders -say, would be to striké a death blow at their organization, unless the dem- ocrats should fuse with them on equal terms, ad up to date there has not been the slightest effort made by either side to- ward effecting any sort of fusion. Popu- lst leaders are as determined as demo- crats. The feeling between the two par- ties In this state ha# never been one of brotherly love. On the contrary, it has been a feeling of antagonism, and in view of this fusion on any terms, not to discuss the guestion as to whether it would be beneficial to Bryan or not seems well nigh an impossibility. To sum up, the sit- uation ts not reassuring to Bryan men in the least. For the silver democrats and Populists to fuse would mean ‘o drive thousands of sound money democrats, wio have not already gone, to the Palmer tick- et, and likewise to cause many middle-of- the road populists either to stick by their old ticket or go over to McKinley, so that in the long run more would probably be lost than gained for Bryan, as the middle-of- the road element, or at least a large pro- H portion of them, are.set against any demo- cratic affiliation. On top of this condition is the probabi.ity of sound money democrats and republicans uniting their strength. These conditions easily prove Alabama to bss a doubtful state at this time, to say the jeast. SUBURBAN NEWS FALLS CHURCH. Rev. D. L.

Parents, as well as those interested in the education of children, are at this time ef the year giving considerable attention to tls choice of a school. For various reasons changes are decided upon at the beginning of a school year, and the import- ant question is to find the school best adapted for the special needs. Timely help in the solution of such a question may be found in the advertising columns of The Star. Brief notices of some ef the an- nourcements there made are given below. This is a military age, and the general tendency seems to be to combine a military education, so far as young men are con- cerned, with other studies. The coming session wiil be the sixty-third year of the Peekskill Military Academy, at Peekskill, N. Y. This is an institution with an envi- able record and an illustrated catalogue may be secured by addressing the princi- pal, Col. Louis H. Orleman. Parents in search of a boarding and day school for their daughters would do well to consider the advantages offered by the Edgeworth Institution, 122 and 124 West Franklin street; Baltimore, Md. The thir- ty-fourth year will begin September 24, an the principal is Mrs, H. P. Lefebvre. The Hannah More Academy is pleasartly situated in the Highlands above Baltimore on an electric railrcad. It is a diocesan school for girls, with new buildings, mo ern appliances and electric lights. “A full academic course is provided, including art, music and modern languages. Information will be supplied by the principal, Rev. Jo- seph Fletcher, Reisterstown, Md. What many consider the most thorough, practical and profitable school in the city is the Modern Normal College, in Typo- graphical Temple, 425 G street northwest. The courses are preparatory, business, shorthand and typewriting, clvil service, teachers’, health, journalistic, scientific and classic. J. Fraise Richards 1s the principal and he will furnish circulars giv- ing full information, on application. An attractive feature of the shorthand, typewriting and business school of Miss Laise, 1333 12th street northwest, Is the fact that individual attention is given to each student. Pupils are prepared for ex- amination, while special classes in mathe- matics are held. A new and rapld method of short hand is also taught. A seminary for girls and a military academy for boys constitute the Episcopal schools at Haddenfield, N. J. Thorough in- struction is given in all branches, the best of care being taken. An additional attrac- tion is the location on very healthy high grounds. Those whose time is limited and who de- sire to pursue a course in business meth- ods, shorthand and typewriting, will find the school conducted by Messrs. Eaton, Burnett and Durling, F and 12th streets northwest, decidedly convenient. Day and night classes have already been opened, and when taken together the rate for the business, shorthand and pewriting courses is the same as for one. It is unquestionably an ‘advantage to a scholar to be directed exclusively by an instructor. The principal of the shorthand and typewriting school at 943 street northwest, gives a thorough drill In prin- ciples and practice, and he claims to fur- nish the best instruction for half ihe usual rates. Speed pracilcc and criticism are an- nounced as a specialty. Persons who desire to be draughtsmen would do well to make inquiries at 531 7ih street northeast. Evening lessons in all kinds of draughting and mathematics will begin at the number mentioned September Another well-known institution is Mr. Putnam's school, 1638 19th strect north- west. The school will reopen September , thoroughly equipped to prepare pupils for universities and technical schools and for business pursuits. If desired private instructions will be given. The Olney School for Girls, formerly 19- cated at 1827 I sireet, will open October 1 at 1206 1Sth street, facing on Connecticut avenue.

Sage AN IMPORTANT RULID The Husband Not Responsibl Wasting Potomac Water. Judge Kimball made an important ruling tr. the Police Court today in the question of responsibility for wasting Potomac wa- ter. In the case before the court Nicholas Watkins of No. 447 H street northwest was defendant, while Inspector Barton was the presecuting witness. The information charged that the defendant being the 9c- cupant of the premises charged, did permit the water to run or waste unnecessarily. The proof was that Mr. Watkins was not at heme at the time the water was run- ning, and he had given directions to mem- bers of his family not to allow the water to rur in this way. Judge Kimball said that under the cir- cumstances he couid not hold the husband. He was not there and had given directions that the water should not be permitted to run in this way. Mr. Richardson, for the District, argued that for the purposes of this case the wife was the husband’s agent, and he was therefcre responsible. But the judge held to the contrary, and distaissed the case. A warrant against another member of the family will be issued. Similar action was taken in the case of Charles E. Jacobson, against whom there was a similar charge — Mr. Foskey Given a Divorce. Judge Cox today granted Albert A. Fos- key a divorce from Maine E. Foskey on the hushand’s charges of adultery and deser- tion. The husband was also awarded the gvardianshin and custody of the infant child, Henry S. Foskey. —— AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c for Today. Rateliffe, Sutton & Co., Aucts., 920 Pa. ave. n.w. —Ken between Gallaudet st. and Capitol ave., Ivy City, D. C., dwelling.
