POPULISTS There is Lack of Harmony in the Party in Alsbama. It is Said That Capt. K: and Col. Bowman Will Help the Demo- cratic Ticket. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., September 28, 1896. The long threatened split in the populite party in this state is at last about to ma- terialize. It will be marked by the action of Captain Reuben F. Kolb, twice the popu- lite candidate for governor, and the ablest leader the party ever had in Alabama, and his chief Meutenant, Col. Peyton G. Bow- man, chairman of Kolb's state committee in 1892, who will, it is stated on undisputed authority, in a few days take the stump for the democratic electoral ticket, and the democratic nominees for Congress. Messrs. Kolb and Bowman will, it is understood, do their utmost to persuade their former populite followers to emulate their example and give their support to the democratic nominees and ally themselves with the democratic party, so long as it shall “stand for silver.” This split in the populist household seems to have had its origin in opposition to Capt. Kolb soon after his last defeat for the gov- ernorship and his failure to take the office by force, as many of his hot-headed sup- porters wanted him to do. At various pop- ulite conventions this year an anti-Kolb sentiment cropped out. At the state con- vention it was very manifest. The national conyention, however, at St. Louis did the work that precipitated the tumble. Kolb, Bowman and their friends among the Ala- bama delegation were ardent supporters of the idea of indorsing Bryan and Sewall,and opposed the nomination of Watson. They argued that to put up Watson would be only to handicap Bryan, and that having the cause of silver at heart they favored Bryan and Sewall as the surest way to as- sure success for the free coinage idea. Accused of Being Traitors. While Kolb and Bowman were making this fight at St. Louis Representative M. W. Howard, Dr. Gratton B. Crowe and other middle-of-the-road members of the Alabama delegation, who opposed their course, had published in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat @ card, in which they de- nounced them as traitors and accused them of having betrayed the party. This engen- dered the bitterest sort of feeling between the Kolb-Bowman faction and the Howard- Crowe middie-of-the-road element. After the St. Louis convention Kolb, it is said, advised support of the Bryan and Sewall ticket by the populists in this state as the best thing that could be done for the silver cause. The middle-of-the-road ele- ment, however, was in control of the party machinery, and not only put out a Bryen and Watson ticket, but announced that the only terms on which they would co-operaiz with the silver democrats would be for Watson to be substituted for Sewall all the way through. Strong anti-Kolb men were given places of honor on the state cam- paign committee and on the electoral ticket. In brief, the state executive committee rode rough shod over their once famous leader. Will Support the Democratic Ticket. All these things, as well as the tremend- ous amount of personal bitterness in the various maneuverings of the campaign, have led up to the parting of the ways. Capt. Kolb and Col. Bowman will now, it is said, give their former associates the shake, snd devote a good part of their time and talent to helping elect the democratic nominees for Congress and electors. They say, it is understood, that the democratic party has adopted the principles they have been fighting for under the populite banner, and the success of these principles can best be attained by electing democrats to Con- gress and to the presidency. Kolb and Bowman will, it is said, go on the democratic stump within a week or two. They will fight Representative A. T. Goodwyn, late populist candidate for gov- ernor and populist neminee for Congress in the fifth district, se it is said. They will also oppose Dr. Crowe, middle-of-the-road nominee in the ninth district, advocating the election of Underwood, silver demo- crat. Their strongest fight, however, will be directed against Representative M. W. Howard, in the seventh district. Col. Bowman says that he proposes to canvass the entire district against Howard, and for W. I. Bullock, the silver democratic nomi- nee. Kolb and Bowman have a strong foliow- ing amcng the conservative element of the populist party, and, it is claimed, will be able to carry mary with them into the democratic party. If the defection is large there is ne telling what the middie-of-the- road men may do. It is not without the bounds of reason that they would turn their support to McKinley in order to try to down the democracy and those of their own party who had gone, as they express it, back to that organization. To Vote for McKinley. All efforts to bring about co-operation be- tween the national democrats and repub- licans in this state have failed. The repub- lican committee, after thoroughly consider- ing the matter, decided that it would be best not to fuse with any party. The na- tional democrats, on the other hand, were unwiliing to divide electors with the re- publicans saying they were under instruc- tions from their national convention not to fuse with any opposing party, hence noth- ing came of the efforts to bring the two sound money parties together. It is believed, however, that many sound money democrats will support the McKin- ley ticket, and that many more will stay at home and not vote at all. On the other hand, it is becoming apparent that a large element of middle-of-the-road populists are going to vote the republican ticket chiefly out of spite to the democrats, and as a re- buke to alleged ballot box stuffing. It is becoming more certain every day that Mc- Kinley is going to poll a much larger vote in this state than is generally thought. It is freely asserted that if a vigorous cam- paign should be inaugurated by the repub- licans Alabama might be landed in the Mc- Kinley column, provided a fair election is had. es BRYAN AT TAMMANY HALL. A Whoop-Hurrah Welcome Given Him by the Braves. William J. Bryan made his second public appearance in New York last night, when Tammany Hall ratified the Chicago plat- form and nominees. In numbers and cn- thusiasm the mass meeting held in and around Tammany Hall and Union Square was remarkable. The meeting was held under the auspices of Tammany Hall. Mr. Bryan addressed the indoor meeting in Tammany Hall, speaking extempora- neously for nearly an hour to an audience which, though it jammed the hall to the doors, did not lose the slightest word that fell from the lips of the candidate. After the indoor meeting Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall showed themselves to the crowds that surrounded the hall, and they also ap- peared on the stand at the Union Square Plaza, but the rain was falling in such tor- rents that the presidential candidate made no speeches out of doors. A crowd filled 14th street, packed so closely together that it was possible to go from Broadway to 3d avenue under the umbrellas of other people without getting wet. Postmaster General Wilson states that the United States government has not yet determined to enter the international par- cels post agreement.. He has received let- ters from postmasters general in Europe concerning the matter, and one letter from Germany especially urging the United States to join the union. The matter will not be determined until the postal con- gress meets next May. Superintendent Bell of the foreign mail service says that the objections heretofore urged to the international parcels post were that it was too complicated. It is possible modifications may be made at the coming congress. Great Britain at present does not belong to the agreement. The United States has parcel post arrange- ments with some countries on this conti- nent, hut none with Europe. Ses Manuel Gregory, colored, was shot at Chattanooga while attempting to rob the house of Ernest Nail. The bullet struck Gregory in the head and flattened out. The negro is not eeriously injured. ef a THE WORLD OF. SOCIETY Freund. A Home Ceremony Will Be F-: wed. by a Large Reception—Personal Notes of Interest. This evening Miss Edith M.

Pay Inspector Worth Goldsborough, gen- eral storekeeper at the Naval Academy, will be placed on the retired list of the navy Friday next, on account of age. Mr. Goldsborough is a native of Maryland, and entered the navy as an assistant pay- master in September, 1862. He was al tached to the store ship St. Lawrence from 1863 to 1864, and advanced to the grade of assistant paymaster July 2 of that year. He was on the steamer Shamrock from 1866 to 1867, and was promoted to pa master on May 4, 1866, serving on the Con- stitution from 1869 to 1871, and later at the Washington navy yard.
