The Alabama Claims Question and the Fall
Elections-New Developments from Rndi-
cal Source.
Washington June 30 correspondence OF Evening
Postl
Leading republican porticians seem determined not
rest but TO make as much capital as possible out Of
has been agreed upon to have this question become
one 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 ut once with the English. This plan has
been discussed pretty freely among prominent poll
ticians here, and initial steps are to be taken IN
Pennsylvania. Politicians from that State includ-
ing Colonel Forney and Minister Curtin are among
its strongest advocates, and Will endeavor 70
make this question one Of the leading planks
IN 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 a
good moral erect 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 70 assume decided po-
stion this question and discuss very fully our re-
lations with England,
There is good reason to believe that Senator Sum-
ner 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.
