He IL opposed by an independent democrat, the

masses. He served In the Confederate army and
was in many notable instances kind to Untonists
and prisoners OF war.
The Third district win probably go democratic

Pelham the republican nominee. The republicans
charge that 10 is the Intention OF the democracy TO
cOl0nize from their superabundant strength In the
neighboring co mites Of Georgia to affect this dis

few thousand colored votes from the same terri
tory, and thus fight fire with fire. Georgia is demo-
cratic by such large majority that the blacks
might better emigrate across the line.
THE GENERAL OUTLOOK.
The registration oi tine State shows preponder.
ance OF white over colored OF about seven thousand
votes, and the republicans claim about ten thou
sand white votes in the State. supposing, there
that each party polls Its ill strength, the infer
enee is that the state would be republican by at
least large majority IA that OF 1893, which was
over five thousand. But this majority might have
been easily overcome by detection were there any
Ia the republican ranks. Failing to secure this end
by the nomination OF Mr. Greeley there
black men In the Fou.th district. II tins
can be done quietly and without force or
outrage the result would be the election OF the
democratic electors, the state officers, two Con-
grcssmen at Large, three out or SIX congressman
and a Legislature controlling the United states
Senatorsnip. The stake Is heavy one, and the
game Will be desperately played accordingly. The
republicans are fully alive to all the probabilities
ana are closely watching the motions and demon
strations OF their opponents. Troops have been
stationed mt places where intimidation and out
RACES may be reasonably expected. They assert
lfptramlnpllau
election-every man voting as he sees ut, and that
vote counted as one and only one; that they ask
nothing more and Will he satisfied with nothing
less. Under oil the circumstances, presuming that
the presence ol troops VIII prevent lntimiaation
ana that the cooniZing process Will be cquiposed
the chances appear to bc favorable to the repub-
icans.
NO MONEY.
The republicans complain bitterly that no funds
have been furnished TO help their campaign, or,
rather, 'none TO speak oi''not enough even to pay
printing biils But campaign documents have been
scattered all the state, and ii these had been
sold Tor waste paper the sum realized would have
created larger and more available fund for cleo
tioneering purposes. II cannot be truthully as
serted-snotl.d Alabama he carried by the admins
tration party-that the result was accomplished
Sr ine Senate are as peny as baeS
berries. On the democratic side North
Alab-ma win prominently present Richard
Walker, OF Huntsville, brother OF Pope Walker, late
Confederate secretary OF War; DIR. +. w. Sykes,
OF Courtand, and George H. Houston of Athens,
who was once elected a senator in 1867 but failed
her oil Congress before the war, and would be in
eligible but that his disabilities were removed by
the last Congress. There arc also several other
sInal-iry candidates from North ALABAMA, alive to
the main chances. under the idea chat the place Is
bound 10 go, III event oil democratic success, 10
that section OF the State.
There will also he several candidates from
Middle East ana West Alabama, all OF whom VIII
base their claims upon Confederate and disuniOn
services. No one can now tell who Is ahead among
the democratic asprants. ON the republic
can side the most prominent candidate Is
Senator spencer, the present incumbent, who ap-
pears have more positive strength than any other
postulant OF his party. II he can secure caucus
nomination he wlll In event oi republican ma
jority on joint ballot, be reelected. He will be
vigorously opposed, however, by several ambitious
gentlemen, among whom are Ex-Governor Lewis H..
Parsons state Auditor u. M. Reynolds and con-
gressman Buckley, who was defeated by Rapier or
denomination. SENATOR spencer, however, is.con-
sidered by men OF all parties to be the
shrewdest politicians in the State and it will he
hard To beat him, unless the democrats should
combine for that purpose with lew republicans
alter the fashion OF the Connecticut Legislature in
the reelection of senator Ferry. Such Is the situa-
ton In Alabama.
