Ventign tWO Years Ago.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-I have just been read
ing a complete account of the Ala,
bama State Convention. l find that
Mr.. Kolb was not an "Alliance can
didate " in the strict sense of the word,
but that farmers In and out OF the
Alliance, merchants, mechanics and
laborers-men of almost every pro,
fession-were his supporters. This
surprised me, as some of the n7ws
papers of this State have made the
statement that he was can Alliance
candidate" and was known as the
"independent" candidate for Gov
ernor. A great deal has been said
about the independentism Of Mr..
Kolb and his unfitness for the Cover
norship, but I find his independentism
consists only in not having been the
choice of party bosses" and that his
unftness was owing to the fact that
he was the choice of the farmers and
laborers of Alabama and was a mem,
Der Of the Alliance.
When the convention met there
were FIVE candidates for Governor,
one of whom was a farmer and was
evidently the choice of a majority of
the people, as the first ballot clearly
shows. The vote stood thus:
