/ effort will be made to harmonic the two and
consolidate them. Mapee of Pennsylvania and
| Clarkson will both be on hand nnd lend their
efforts toward uniting the two republican fac
/ t1ons. Magee. it is said, is the man who made a
trade with Kolb and the third party leaders
whereby the republicans were to have a finger
| In the conglomerate electoral ticket and control
| 1t If they needed Aabama's electoral vote in
order to elect Harrison. the unders landing being
that it go for Weaver IL Harrison didn't need 1t.
! The one object Of the coming of Magee and
Clarkson is to unite the republicans in Alabama
| and do away with this business OF having two
| committees. At present the Moseley faction is
| supporting one electoral ticket (the fusion
| ticket and one set of congressional nominees,
| while the Stevens wing has put out and il sup
| porting Its own tickets and nominees.
| The republican leaders Incoming alarmed
as the election approaches. 1t is evident now
| that the third party IA a factor, separate and
distinct. will cut no figure in the election. The
| third party united with the republicans of both
factions might defeat Cleveland in this state.
| The aim and object Of the republican leaders
who are not interested in the fractional quarrels
In the party in this state now is to unite if pos
slble these three elements in the hope of carry
| ing the state
THE DIFFICULTY OF UNION.
1t is hardly Thought possible that this nnion

sai w HI INC hfs' pA'ee IL Is "ohe
VIII DC necessary 10 pun oowp one entlre
electoral ticket and set of congressional NOM
| 1nees. The men VITO on the fusion ticket
swear they will not come down and that it IS
the place OF the Stevens republican nominees to
Withdraw. The hitter assert that they are the
straight republican nominees and don't propose
TO come down for any ret Of men who are
tainted with third party tendencies.
The kolb people. too, are mad because the
republicans are trying to run the fusionists'
campaign, and many OF them are kicking out
OF the traces. Another reason why SO great q
| number of kolb's followers have deserted him
| Is because they have grown suspicious of him
since he has been in conference and trading
with republicans. They say that they have fol-
lowed him as ex-democrats, believing him to be
such. and now that he is going in with the re-
| publlcans they have quit him.
There il disDut!np the fact too that
holb forces have practically gone to pieces.
kolb and his chairman, Bowman, have kept
them together remarkably long time to realize
no results for them. The lines have been
drawn now and Kolb's followers have no further
excuse for leaving the democratic party. They
| realize that to follow their leaders longer
means to leave the party of their fathers. and so
they are leaving kolb and going into the tight
for Cleveland.
10 sum up, a big movement il on foot in
Alabama to unite all opponents of democracy
and pull down all anti-demOcratic electoral
| tickets and congressional tickets save one, and
by uniting on that one to carry the state against
| Cleveland. As has been stated, this result can
| hardly be accomplished, as all factions are at
war The peoples party is split because some
republicans were put on the fusion ticket and
/ q bolt has resulted led by original people $
party organizers. The republicans are making
ugly faces at each other because each faction
wants recognition as the head of the party in
| Alabama. The koibites are ratified and have
gone to pieces simply because their leaders have
| gone over TO the republicans.
| Now come Magee and Clarkson to patch up
peace. If they do it gracefully the democrats
may lose two or three Congressman and the
| state may be doubtful Ii they fail every DEM
| ocratic Congressman is sure Of election and
Cleveland will get Alabama by big majority.
Meanwhile the campaign is going on. The
