The Alabama Claims Question and the Fall
ElectiOns-New Developments from Radi.
cal Source.
Washington June 81 correspondence OF Evening
POST
Leading republican polticians seem determined not
to allow the Alabama clGlms question 10 remain at
rest but TO make as much capital possible out Of
the attitude assumed by Great Britain. movement
has been agreed upon to have this question become
OF the leading issues in the next fall elections
forcing the democratic party to follow in the wake
OF the republicans and approve their course or to
take sides at once with the English This plan has
been discussed pretty freely among prominent poll
tcians here, and initial steps are TO be taken In
pennsylvania. Politicians from that State, incud-
ing Colonel Forney and Minister Curtin, are among
Its strongest advocates, and Will endeavor 70
make this question one OF the leading planks
Ia the republican platform for their State
Those who are directing the movement feel posi-
tive that 1t will prove successful IN materially
strengthening the republican party and produce
good moral effect. Mr.. Curtin 1t Is understood will
take occasion at the banquet which Is TO be given
him by the Union League OF Philadelphia previous
to his departure for Russia 10 assume decided po-
sition this question and discuss very fully our re-
lations with England
There is good reason to believe that Senator Sum
Is heartily In sympathy with the movement, and
approves the policy Of making the Alabama question
leading issue at the coming elections In the various
States. While here Mr.. Curtin had frequent inter
views with Mr. sumner, and the views OF both as TO
the proper policy for our government to pursue are
almost Identical.
