ALABAMA.

A special from Birmingham to the Dem
YER News, says: "Kolb, the Peoples party
candidate, and entire ticket have been
elected by at least 10000 majority. We
have carried nearly all the white counties in
the state, and where the count has been fair
we got large majority Of the negro vote.
The opposition is claiming the state by
small majority, and their claim is based
upon fictitious msjorities in what is known
as the 'black belt" For instance, Lowndes
county Ia black belt county, is claimed by
the enemy with a majority of 1900. Our
friends claim TO have the proof that We
have carried it by $500. Ballot boxes
with large maiorities for the Kolb
ticket, enough to change results in the
counties, have been stolen since the election.
Money and whisky have been freely used,
and every species Of intimidation and
threats have been resorted TO for the pur-
pose Of influencing voters for the Demo-
crats. They have openly violated the cleo
tion law in every part of the state, and in
the black belt section have also disobeyed
the mandate of the courts as well by ap-
pointing all of the inspectors of election
from the friends of Governor Jones, and
where this was done Jones msjoritles fire.

Mr.. Cleveland to win must carry all
the states he carried in 1888, and add
48 votes. Vermont Is the only state In
the union that Harrison Is certain TO
carry. Gen. Weaver has twenty-seven

The action Of President Harrison in
vetOing the McGRrrahan claim reveals a
stratum Of scoundrellsm in the president
which his worst enemy scarcely believed
he possessed. Years ago, rich qulcksil-
YER deposits we're discovered on McGar-
rahan'S land, and a rich company
proceeded to work this find, paying no
attention to McGRrrahan's claim Of
ownership to the land. He carried his
case to congress, and the mining COM
pany have put every delay possible in
his way. A score Of times he has been
on the point Of victory, and as often the
mining company have brlbed some one
to upset the whole thing, and cause the
battle to begin anew. A few days ago
the bill passed the Democratic house and
the Republican senate, and now Harrison
upsets it by veto. The secret of this
veto is that one Of the leading men in the
mining company is D. o. Mills, father
ln-law of WhitelAw Reid, the Republican
candidate for vice president. OttaOG

80 send an army Of 1000 speakers and
a fund of 100000 into the state of
Kansas in an attempt to redeem the state
from the Peoples party. Why this des-
perate eRortH If the Republican cause
were just one, any reasonable mind can
readily see that such invasion of state,
primarily Republican, would be unneces-
sary. The people Of Kansas are intelli-
gent and more thoroughly American
than are the inhabitants of any other
state in the union. They are a reading,
thinking people; they are brave and
generous to q fault, and willing to listen
to reason, SO that we believe there is no
amount Of money that will corrupt them.
We can't believe that 100000 will
undermine the honor Of the great state
Of Kansas; neither can we believe that

Third Party Candidates.

The third party. although It Is no. fairly
launched, is nos lacking in presidential can
didates. Polk, Powderly. Watson, Weaver
and Donnelly all have their admirers.
Weaver and Donnelly are the leading can
didates. Weaver has had some experience
as a presidential candidate. He was the
champion Of the greenback craze. He
would be as satisfactory q candidate
as the third party could nominate.
because he can adjust himself TO the vari-
GUS demands Of the dozen or more organiEa-
tions which will have voice in the third
party about as easily as any other man who
could be named. But he Is not quite as
popular as Mr.. Donnelly, because be is not
so great a crank. Jerry Simpson is quoted
as saying that the Introduction TO the plat
form adopted at the st. Louis conference is
as fine a piece Of writing as there is
10 the English language, and
he gives Donnslly the credit for it.
No doubt Mr.. Donnelly is proud of it, but
IL there was much truth in it this country
would be in pretty bad way. II Mr..
Donnelly believes the statements il contains
he is not very far from being in sympathy
with the anarchists, aud If he does not be-
lieve them he is a demagogue.
But the third party leaders are not going
to have such tremendous following as they
seem to think. Thousands Of men in differ
ent parts Of the country who are
dissatisfied. but cannot give any rea-
son for being 50, and who were
rather inclined to favor third party, have
taken second thought and are not in the
third party movement. And before the
campaign proceeds far thousands Of others
who are now a little out Of harmony with
the old political parties will be found
within the lines of those parties
In this state only few Of those who were
marching through the state last summer
with Gen. Weaver. Mrs. Lease. Jerry Simp-
son and other third party leaders,
are in their company now. Col.
Livingston is standing squarely in the
democratic lines aud he doesn't seem to be
alarmed by the threats to depose him from
the presidency of the alliance. If he had talked
for the Democratic party when he was
plotting Mrs. Leases crowd through Georgia
as strongly as he does at present, there
would be fewer third party symptoms in
the state. However, he is all right now
and there is no danger that he will run after
the third party. even IL he thought it would
offer Uomake him its presidential candidate.
