OPPOSITION TO CUILlIERS.
An Organization Effected TO Heat Him In

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6-Gen. Chalmcrs's
candidacy is provoking active opposition
among those who suffered at his hands in for
mer years. An organization to fight him has
been effected here. and steps are being taken
to call attention to the absurdity and wrong Of

date to whom the votes Of Republicans should he
given. This organization is sending out to-
night an appeal for money. Its leaders say
that If they get money enough 70 wage II

Some of The, leaders in this movement are
women who declare that Chalmers mas insulted
their sex. by insinuating that the, stand
ard OF female virtue il not 80 high in
the North as in tho South. These women
are circulating the. appeal Of the eolored Re-
publicans OF tho Second Mississippi District.

them said to light that they had not been able

given Cha mers its moral support They rep
resented the poor OF Mississippi and as such
they hope for help from the North. The mem
beers Of the organization and notably the lady

terms. They say that he is a chronic office
seeker without honor or conscience. who is
