The Outlook for " Coalition. :"

Ael0 York SuH Washington special.
The Kentucky election is instructive to
coalition managers. Jacob, the Indepen-
dent Democrat, will be further behind his
regular opponent than the opposition usu-
ally are. 1t is a non-coalescfng coalition.
and state of things which will tend to lose
the Republicans two, Il not three, members
of Congress. The Republican voters scat
tered wildly at the Monday election, and It
will be difficult to concentrate on their own
candidates for Congress this fall.
Hubbell's committee took up the cause of
Jacob, the Independent Democrat. This
created great dissatisfaction among the Re-
publlcans. The chances are that they will
elect not more than one member of Con-
gress. Their vote at the Presidential cleo
tion was 100000. BY sinking this vote to
assist the impossible chances of Jacob, the
field has been cleared for nearly a clean
sweep by the Democrats at the Congress
sional elections.
Jacobs ambition to play the role Of Ma
hone In Kentucky has met with a serious
reverse. Republicans who supposed the
way might be open to honors and profits in
Kentucky, as in Virginia, have been taught
something.
Not in Kentucky only, but in all the South
apparently, with the exception of Virgil ia,
possibly, coalition at the present moment
promises to increase the Democratic strength
In Congress. II this does not prove true in
the end, 1t will be on account of other man
agement than that which directs the So
called anti Bourbon forces. In North Caro-
lima they are torn into factions. There the
question of prohibition is live one. With
good management it might for tine have
served the purposes of the coalitionists.
Instead of that It was kicked out and a
patchwork of conflicting odds and ends sub
stituted. The result is likely to be the scat
tering of what, il rallied under one banner,
might prove a strong, il not a successful
coalition.
In Georgia the vaunted anti-Bourbon ex-
pectations have turned to ashes and been
blown away, while in Alabama the present
outlook does not justify the high claims OF
a while ago.
Taking the South together, If the anti
Democratic vote 10 the next House OF Rep
resentatives equals that of to-day, present
appearances are deceiving.

LIVERPOOL August PA leading weekly
grain circular says: 1.-The weather has been
wet and tempestuous, impeding the harvest
and injuring later deliveries. The market
generally advanced. The trade for cargoes
sfoat has been very quiet, but holders are
firmer many cargoes at ports of call have

Aim.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-A dispatch
from Holly Springs, Miss, announces that
Hannibal c. Carter has entered the field as a
straightout Republican candidate for Con-
gress for the Second district, as against
Chalmers. Carter is a colored man of
education, was Secretary of State by sp-
pointment under Gov. Powers, and has been
a member OF the Mississippi Legislature.
Csrter's home has been in Vicksburg, and
Chalmers at Frlars' Point, both in the
"shoestring' district. In his circular to
the voters Of the Second district, Carter
answers in advance the possible objections
that he does not reside in that district by
saving that he is a citizen, the State has not
deserved another district on account Of its
bad conduct, and his party has no candidate
in the district who has any claims to its
support.

HawleY and L. v Grimes did all the work.
Cicero Grimes was to share in the proceeds

signs to Hawley and L. V. Grimes,
who were concealed near the trail When
the express arrived at a stop they COM
menced firing to scare off the messenger
and mail rider. Mall rider Porter ran Off to

n Breach In the Tenth Congress
sIOnaI District Convention.

AUSTIN, August 25.-The Democratic
Convention for the Tenth Congressional
District was thrown into confusion by a re-
fussl of the delegates pledged to the sup
port Of Hon. Columbus Upson to en-
ter the convention on the ground that
Hon. John Hancock, the opposing
candidate, had not acted in go0d
faith. 1t is charged that Hancock, in
replying to a letter from Upson, gave him
assurance that he would not be candidate
Hancock is in New York, but his friends
deny the charge. Efforts at reconciliation
have been made with only the effect of
widening the breach Hancock's followers
will probably nominate him by acelamation.
The UpsOn delegates, representing twenty
out of the tifty-two votes, would only con-
sent to enter the convention upon condition
that Hancock was turned down, which
being refused, they left in body. Most of
the bOlting delegates are in favor OF pro-
lection, and to that extent are in accord
with Ex-Governor E. j. Davis, the Inde-
pendent candidate.
LATER.-Judge Hancock was finally nomi-
mated by his followers.
