THE ALABAMA SITUATION A. L. Morrison, a well-known republican, who has been doing some campaign work for the republicans in Michigan, writing Mr. Babcock, cheirman of the republican congressional committee, relative to the situation in that state, says that he finds in most places the reasoning people are fast recovering their senses. He writes: “There is a demand for discussion of pro- tection and reciprocity, and, fortunately for me, I anticipated this and procured a copy of the ways and means committee's report. It is positively wonderful to find how ill- informed farmers are on this subject. I was told it was @ perfect revelation to them. Many people crowded around me at the meetings to know where it could be procured. Your two speeches and also that of McCleary are giving great satisfaction. They are in universal demand. I think Jefferson's order stopping tne coinage of the sijver dollar in 1806 ought to be pub- Lshed in every sound money paper. Some of the most ignorant of these fanatics deny {ts existence in toto. The change of senti- ment is so marked that our folks are claim- ing the state by 30,000 majority.” Good News From the Pacific Coasi The republican congressional committee is receiving good news daily from the Pacific coast states. In Oregon especially the republicans are thoroughly organized and very active in the campaign and con- fident of success. Gov. W. J. McConnell of Idaho is engaged in an active canvass for the republican ticket in his state. Gov. McConnell says the republicans of Idaho are thoroughly organized and are going to make a red-hot campaign. In Oregon W. R. Ellis and Binger Hermann, both of whom were silver men, are advocating the election of the republican ticket. Mr. Ellis is filling dates in various parts of the state, fixed by the republican state central com- mittee. Mr. Hermann Gelivered his first speech at Roseburg on the llth, and will make a vigorous canvass later in the sea- son through his district. He is a very pop- ular man, and the announcement of his determination to enter the canvass was received with great satisfaction in his section of Oregon, especially as he was defeated for re-election to the Fifty-fifth Congress. Two very enthusiastic meetings were held in Portland on Thursday and Friday of last week, at which many ladies were present. Senator Mitchell is filling dates under the direction of the state central committee and speaks at Eugene on the 26th, at Ash- land on the 22d, at'’Grant's Pass on the 24th and at Roseburg on the 25th. J. W Ivey, an eloquent speaker and a thorongh master of the tariff question, is speaking to great crowds in;gastern Oregon. 8. C. Spencer, another very effective campaign- er, is doing great ‘work for the republi- cans, and is discussing the tariff question with great effect. On his recent visit to Butteville, where fe tafked to the hop growers on the question of protection, Mr. Spencer aided in organizing a McKinley club, with seventy-five members. Bark- ley, the free silver advocate, had recently visited the plice, and succeeded in getting together thirty-six members, two-thirds of whom were women. # The following McKinley clubs were or- ganized last week: Merlin, Josephine coun- ty; Gold Hill, Jack: county; Klamath Falls, Troutdale, Beet Hill, Clackamus county, Elk City; I. ja county; Grant’s Pqas, . Dpyton. “Astladna, Cottage Grove, Waldron, Crook coun} Pilot Rock#Uma- tila county. The lattér ctub is situated in an agricultural district, and contains 100 members, which is ‘thwee-fourths of the voters in the immediate vicinity. A unique feature of the republican cam- paign in that section fs the fllustrated lec- ture which Mr. P. E. Shtelds is delivering. It forms a talk on the life of McKinley from the cradle to the White House. Mr. Shields has been engaged to stump the state of Washington with this lecture, which {fs original, and illustrated with fifty stereopticon views, made direct from copies‘ of original photographs owned by Major McKinley. They are the only set of views on the life of McKinley in exist- ence. Substantial aid is being given by the gold democrats of Oregon, who have be- gun to organize in good earnest. A Matnme Memento. The walts of the private office of Chair- man Babcock of the republican congres- sional committee were adorned this morn- ing with a handsome gold frame, inclosing the following telegram: “Augusta, Maine, September 14, 1896. “Hon. J. W. Babcock, Hotel Normandie, ‘ashington: ur majority will exceed fifty thousand. “(Signed) J. H. MANLEY.” Mr. Sebcock intends to keep this tele- gram as a memento of the campaign and &s marking the greatest republican victory ever won in Maine. The Situation in Ala Mr. Oscar R. Hundley of Huntsville, Ala., is in the city, and at republican headquar- ters today talked of the political situation in Alabema. It will be remembered that Mr. Hundley has been in public life in Ala- bama for the past ten years, having served continuously during that time in the house and the senate as a democrat, being now a state serator, with two years longer to serve. On the 15th of July, in a public let- ter to Maj. McKinley, he gave his reasons for refusing to longer affiliate with the democratic party, and pledged his support to McKinley and Hobart. On the 7th of this month the republicans of the eighth ecngressional district in Alabama nominat- ed Mr. Hundley as their standard bearer for Congress in that district. Being a man of force of character and a fine political organizer and an orator of considerable note, his prospects of election are said to be most flattering. In reply to a question asking the situation in his district, Senator Hundley said: “We are going to win in the eighth dls- trict sure. There has already been nom- inated a populist candidate, State Senator D. W. Day, who its a gentleman of very fine character and of considerable popu- larity. He is running on the Bryan and Watson ticket, and will no doubt poll the strength of his party. The sound money democrats have nominated Mr. W. W. Cal- lahan, a young lawyer of fine ability, who will also poll a large. vote. ‘The contest be- tween Gen. Wheeler, and Judge Richardson for the free silver Bryan nomination, which is now beirg waged ‘tr Colbert county, will be decided on the 26th. “The contest Serre n.these two gentlemen has been very bittei indeed, and I cannot say what the result will be. The republi- can party ts unitedin its support of my nomination, and my“only opponent before the convention, Mr. F. J. Kilpatrick, a gen- tlemar of fine character, moved himself to make my nomination unanimous. I will open my campaign in Decatur on Monday night, and shall make an aggressive fight from now until the election. The eighth district is undoubtedly republican on a fair election and an honest count of the votes as cast. We will take every precaution in our power to get an honest expression of the popular will. It is too early yet for me to say whether we will-succeed in having a fair count or not, but the indications are that we will.” The Issues Presented. Mr. Hundley was asked what would be the chief issues presented in his district that would elicit the most interest among the people. “Of course the question of free coinage of silver will be among the chief issues. Only one side of that question so far has been presented, and I believe that after a thor- otgh understanding of the situation the sentiment of the people down there will un- dergo a decided change. But there are oth- er issues which are of equally as much im- portance to our people as that of free sil- ver, and the chief of all 1s that of fair elec- tions. Then, too, our people believe in the integrity of the coufts, are naturally opposed to the Teorgantzation of the Su- preme Court on the ee Bryan platform, so that it may be convert- ed from a judicial into a quasi-legislative body, to change its decisions according to the popular caprice or whim. We believe, too, in maintaining the right of the Pres!- dent to protect the earnings of labor and the products of the farm from spoliation by mob violence while in transit between the states. “I believe the result in Maine will have the most wholesome and beneficial effect upon the election in my district, if not throughout the state of Alabama. I am going in to win this fight, and believe I shall succeed on the issues of honest mon- ey, honest elections, the protection of American labor, the integrity of the courts and the public honor.” Revised Arkansas Returns. The revised election returns from Arkan- sas are affording the republican managers in Washington considerable satisfaction. “In the electior of 1804,” said Chairman Babcock, “Clarke, the democratic nominee for governor, carried the state by 48,724 plurality and by a majority of 24,273. Rem- mel, republican, recetved 26,085 votes, and Barker, populist, 24,541. According to the returns so far received, from sixty-one out of sixty-five counties, Jones, democrat, re- ceived 71,645 votes, or 3,164 less than Clarke received two years ago. Remmel, the re- publican candidate, recejved 26,410, a gain of nearly 400 votes, while the populists lost 13,000 votes from the vote they polled two years ago. “The significance of all this lies in the tumble from the heavy plurality of over eighty thousand to a plurality of 33,000, 00) less than two years ago, which has taken place since the first reports of the recent election were given to the pub- lic by the democratic managers, with a view to offsetting the Vermont tidal wave. Press dispatches say the four counties yet to hear from will not materially change the result. This is probably too optimistic a view of the manner in which election re- turns are sometimes manipulated in Ar- kansas. It would not surprise me if the returns from those four counties were held back to round out Jones’ magnificent vic- tory. ee LEAGUE OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. What Mr. Gardner Says of the Com- ing Gathering at St. Louis. Secretary Lawrence Gardner ‘of the sociation vf Democratic Clubs, turned from Chicago, is busily engaged with Assiftant Secretary McKean in com- pleting the arrangements at thi: end of the line for the meeting of the association at St. Louis, October 3. The representa- tive of the association at the other end of the line is Fred. Snider. He is being alded by the Citizens’ Association of St. Louts. The convention will be held in the fa- mous convention hall, which will be gaily decorated. The decorations aud the mu- sie nave already been arranged for. The officcrs of the clubs will have their head- qverters in the Southern Hotel, which has tendered a handsome ite of rooms. The large store room belonging to the hotel, on Walnut street, will be used as the busi- ness headquarters. The officers will be on the ground several days in advance of the clubs. The local cluvs of St. Louis, said to be memerous and rong in membership, are aiding in the arrangements for the con- venticn. They are also arranging for a demonstration on Friday night before the convention. Mr. Gardner says that the indications are that the convention will be one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held by the organization. Tne attendince will be greater from the southern and westera states than from any other section, but every state is expected to be reprasented. The central office has already registered about 2,000 democratic clubs, and they are especially numerous in the Mississippi val- As- having re- ley states. A number of the party leaders, including Messrs. Bryan and Sewali and Senators Jones, Faulkner and Daniel, are expected to be present. The local clubs will attend to the reception of delegates. There is an effort on foot to have the delegates from the eastern states congre- gate in Washington and travel on a special train with President Black and other effi- cers of the organization. Not Many Clubs in Maine. Assistant Secretary McKean of the demo- cratic congressional committee was asked today what had been done by the mana- gers of clubs in the way of organizing in Maine up to the time of the Maine elec- dion. “We had no knowledge of over twelve or fifteen clubs in Maine at the time of the election,” said Mr. McKean. “We did not try to’ form clubs there in view of the situation. We expect to or- ganize them from _now on, however, and Maine will have 250 clubs before the No- vember election. The state, however, never did take to the idea of clubs. In yz it had fewer clubs, proportionately, than any state in the Union. “If any information is desired about clubs I would like to say that there are some states where we can show them up in great shape. I believe there are close to a thousand cluks in Missouri, for instance. In every middle western state we are or- ganizing them by the score.” SS Surrendered to a Virginia Sheriff. William Lewis, colored, charged with rob- bing freight cars of the Seaboard railroad in Nansemond county, Va., was today sur- rendered to Sheriff A. H. Baker of that county, by orde# of Judge Cox. The man was locked up in the sixth station to await the departure of the sheriff tomorrow: Lewis, it Is charged, was a storekeeper, and systematically robbed the cars about two years ago, there being nineteen charges against him. He was jailed at Suffolk, Va., but escaped March 7, 19%. A description of him was sent on here, and the man was located near the bureau of engraving and printing Sunday afternoon by Detective Lacey, being arrested by De- tectives Helan and Boyd. For some time he has been night engineer at the Hy- draulic Brick Co., near Jackson City. Sheriff Baker says Lewis has pleaded guilty, and will receive a sentence of ten or fifteen ygars in the penitentiary. ss Robbertes Reported. The house of A. Johnston, v2 5th street, was entered some time yesterday and $0 was stolen from a trunk in his room. The }police are investigating the theft. Clerk N. C. Downs of the Criminal Court complains to Inspector Hollinberger that his residence, No. 12 B street northeast, was entered yesterday and three gold rings and necklace, with locket attached, were stolen. W. M. Hatch of 1622 15th street has asked the police to find an onyx clock and a banjo which were stolen from his house during the last two weeks. ee ee Politics at Celenial Beach. A large republican mass meeting was held In the new pavilion, Colonial Beach, V: Tucsday evening, which is said to have been the largest republ'can gathering held there in many years. Stirring addresses were made by B. F. Crawshaw, A. A. Bir- ney, Col. W. L. Bramhall and Judge Al- phonso Hart. On motion of Daniel Pfeil, Maj. John T. Chauncey presided and Eman- uel Watts was secretary. The announce- nent that Maine had given a large republi- can majority was received with tremendous applause and three cheers were accordingly given. ee To Restore Freight Rates. The Southern Railway Company has filed notice with the interstate commerce com- mission of its intention to restore freight rates in the territory included in the juris- diction of Judge Speer of Georgia to the rate which prevailed prior to September 5. ‘The new schedules will go into effect Sep- tember 28. —_————_ - Alleged Bicycle Thief. Samuel Reed, a young colored man, at- tired in full bicycle costume, was arrested today by Detectives Boardman and Galti- her for the theft of a bicycle belonging to Hcrace H. Brower last Friday. Reed was arrested while attempti2g to sell the ma- chine to Ben. for $10. —_>—_. Consuls Recognized. The President has recognized Manuel G.

A Permit Granted for the Erection of a Commodious Platform at Capit! Park. Acting Building Inspector B. C. King to- day issued » permit to Mr. wines Dick- Son, representing the committee on organ- ization which has charge of the arrange- ments for the reception of Mr. Bryan next Saturday afternoon and the meeting which he will address at the Capitol Base Ball Park, to erect a temporary platform with- in that inclosure eighty feet square in di- mensiors.

It is to be erected to the satisfaction of the building inspect- or’s office and not used unless it meets with such approval. Mr. King also ordered that the grandstand at the Capitol Park must Rot be used, as it is not considered safe. Contributors Will Be Comfortable. This structure is larger than the com- mittee at first intended to erect, but the criginal dimenstons were increased because of the objections urged to the limited num- ber of seats which would have been afford- ed under the original plan. By this new arrangement about #0 seats will be pro- vided on the platform—a sufficient number to fully accommodate the speakers and the officers of the meeting, the members of the press and those gentlemen who have contributed money toward the expenses at- tendant upon the meeting. The arrangements regarding the accom- modation of the general public will remain unchanged.

The platform will be erected by John W. Thomas, who has been awarded the con- tract, on th» vest side of th. grounds be- tween F and G streets, and a private en- trance from North Capitol street will be provided, through which Mr. Bryan and the holders of tickets of admission to the plat- form will secure ingress and egre Badges Like Tam: yn.
