THE FOURTH ALABAMA DISTRICT.

OF the comparatively few Congressional
districts in the Southern States in which the
Republicans have some chance of electing
their candidate this fall the fourth Alabama
is among the most promising. There was n
Republican majority of over 6,OOO pOlled
and counted in il at the election two years
ago. Mr.. SHELLEY, the Democratic candi-
date, then received only 96S5 votes, while
the Republican vote, divided between
Messrs. RAPIER and HARALsON, both col
ored Republicans, amounted to lj,Oll. This
result is attested by Democratic figures, and
conceded by the Democratic managers. Of
course this division of the Republican vote
was criminal blunder, and one that should
not be forgotten. Mr.. HARALsON may not
have been responsible for it, and we are not
inclined to think he was; but it is barely
possible that he is now permitting his
" claims" for recognition in thcpresent cam
paign, based as they are upon his having
been swindled or beaten out of his seat in the
present Congress, TO stand in the way
of the success of the party next fall. lie

Representative in the House and rs the

rather one who, having received many hon

appears, and we think there is no doubt on
this point, that some other man than HAIR
ALISON can poll the full strength of the
party vote, and at the same time be more
