Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-05

quency to justify language which imputed
somewhat general inebraition to the
House
Mr. Watson said this afternoon that he
had no information as to the time when the
reports would be presented to the House,
nor in regard to the character of his pun
ishment The majority report will severely
censure the offender, and leave it to the
House to name the penalty. Possibly
to censure Watson, as the Republicans
may flibuster against any motion to that
effect The Republicans have constantly
given aid and comfort to the Alliance peo-
pie in the House, for the purpose of max
ing more offensive to them the really shabby
treatment they have had at the hands of
the Democrats
Watson Pleased With Alabama.
Mr.. Watson is greatly pleased by the re-
suit of the Alabama election. He is con-
vinced that Kolb, the Independent Demo-
crat candidate, will be found to be tairly
elected Governor if the votes can be hon
estly counted. At least, the majority of
the straight-out candidate, instead of being
$4,000, as was at first reported, will be re-
duced to nothing. Mr.. Watson is emphatic,
however, in announcing that Kolb was not
accepted by the Alliance as its candidate.
to formally support no candidate who is not
an avowed member of the party.
Representative Watson speakes with en-
thusiasm of the work that is being done for
pure democracy with a small d, by the
Peoples party, summing it all up in the
declaration that the result of the movement
will be that the solid South will be broken
up, that there will be no white mans or
black mans party, that every citizen will
be able to exercise his right to suffrage
without hindrance or intimidation, and that
there will be free ballot and an honest
count One could forgive q few cranky
propositions in any party or movement
which would bring about such blisstul
condition of affairs in the South.
Political Effect of the Filibustering.
That the effect of the Democratic flibus-
tering against the Worlds Fair appropria-
tion will be heard in the politics of Illinois
and the States Immediately around it, is
claimed by all the Republicans and ad-
mltted by many Democrats. A prominent
Democratic member of the House, not from
Illinois, told me to-day that his party might
as well give up all hope of carrying Iowa,
Michigan, and even Indiana, as these States
were almost equally with Illinois inter-
ested in and enthusiastic for the success of
Fair. This member had lately been through
all OF the States named, and he declared
that it seems to be the unanimous senti-
ment of the people that the Democrats had
made such colossal fools of themselves in
this Fair matter that they ought to be
taught severe salutary lesson.
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who is one of
the most practical, dispassionate and
philosophical of men, takes very easily the
tremendous effort which he asserts is being
made to defeat his reelection. He is in
formed that about 5000 negroes have been
imported from Southern States into his dis
trict to work on new railroad, and that an
attempt will be made to vote them against
him. Mr.. Simpson says, however, that he
has about 10000 certain majority and he
can stand few thousand imported fraudu-
lent votes, if those who try to vote them can.
Mr.. Simpson is emphatic in giving his assur-
ance that the Peoples party will carry
Kansas, the State ticket and the Presi-
dental electors by a large majority.
