kEPvpLIcAS CANDIDATES WITHDRAW.
One by one the republican candidates for
Congress in the several districts in the state are
Withdrawing in obedience 20 the order Of
Malone and the national committee. Some OF
the ambitious candidates die hard sn6 defy the
authorities for while, but finally Weld. The
last one OF these 10 surrender is Mr.. s \.
Gillian OF the fourth district who was NOM
mated BY q convention composed Of anti
Malone republicans. In Withdrawing Mr.
Gillian issues circular letter Ito the repubh-
cans Of the fourth district. in which he saws in
part; Under the impulse Of the feeling caused
by the receipt Of the information OF the action
In recommending NV withdrawal l felt inclined
10 reject il, but since have been advised that
this action was taken after . full hear
ing Of NV friends and suggested by
the national authorities feel as il | ought TO
follow their advice. throwing upon them the
responsibility Of whatever may flow from IT, ="
Closing the circular Mr.. Gillian SAYS: "In
concluding TO take the action stated in the fore
going communication deem il my duty to say
to you that in this district, with admitted
republican majority of about 5000 I conf
IDENTIFY believed that NV party would have in the
teld at the November election a candidate for
Congress. urge all Of my friends to register
and actively and earnestly support Harrison
and Reid and on election day 10 work and vote
for the republican electoral ticket"
great deal of interest Is centered upon q
star chamber conference held bv Malone and
his leaders at the formers residence in Peters
burg. The conference was lengthy one and
1t Is said the republican situation gone over
IN detail. The only news which has crept out
OF this meeting is that Gen. Malone instructed
those present to not only work for Harrison and
Reid, but the third party candidates for Con-
gress also. This means that the two parties are
sdhering to the fusion plan reported exclusively
IL The STAR at the beginning Of the campaign.
The condition Of Affairs in the second con-
gressional district Is badly mixed for the
republicans.
NO MONEY FOR ALLIANCE LECTURERS.
The alliance organizations OF the state have
refused to support third party lecturers. and a
good deal OF confusion has been occasioned
thereby. The following resolution is q sample
of those being adopted by all Of the alliance
organizations in the state:
That while reprobate the use Of alliance
funds tor partisan purposes and declare that any
such use of said funds IL. in our opinion.
Farmers Alliance we believe il is not expedient
or polite in the present state OF our domestic
plans and purposes to sever our relations with
the state alliance. But our secretary is
hereby instructed 20 withhold payment Of all
dues 10 the state alliance until further ordered.
Although the populists do not hope TO carry
the state for Weaver. the following interview
with Mr.. c. II. Pierson, state populist chair
man. by The STAR correspondent will show
that they do not look for strong hopes as to the
congressional candidates which they have in
the field:
There is no fusion in any shape or form be-
tween the peoples party and the republicans
as Is Charged by the democratic press. The
| peoples party is in favor of honest elections
and the republicans are of the opinion that j,
will be to their interest 10 support the peoples
! party in their effort TO secure them. Following
out this line, the republicans have no candi.
dates for Congress in the field and will support
| the peoples party nominees. The result of thi.
| will be that most of the districts will return
peoples party candidates for Congress. The
republicans viii vote soidly for Harrison and
| the peoples party will vote solidly for Weaver
This arrangement has been made solely bv re-
pubhcans IN their own interest. and the peo-
pies party have nothing TO do with il. We are
strictly in the middle of the road.
THE PEOPLES PARrY's SCHEME
1.-The people party have fine show for carry.
ing every district. In the first district Capt
Orris Brown has made a strong canvass and hi,
chances are excellent. In the second district
with no republican nomination, Mr.. III. &
| Collier should have a walk over. In the third
district there is great deal of suppressed dis
satisfaction with the nominee of the demo
cratic party, Mr.. George u. Wise. Thi
makes the victory Of W. Z. Grant, the people
party nominee, foregone conclusion. In tn.
fourth district Col. J. Thomas Goode has al
assured majority OF 10000 which it will be i'm
practicable to make away with. In the fiftl
district the election of b. I. Jones. populst i
conceded by the state democratic committee
In the sixth district Mr.. Il. E. Cobbs is maxim;
good fight and is gaining strength every day
lie ought to win. In the seventh district Col
j. r. c. Lewis is making Col. OFerral
hustle. In the eighth district Mr. B. b. Turne,
has the the hardest of all fights. but we are no
without hope that he may pull through. In tn,
ninth district Mr.. Geo. Il. Cowan. in the even
! of the republican nomination being with
drawn, VIII be elected. Some of our stronges
counties are in the tenth district and We an
ticipate our candidate. DIR. ID. Mott Robertson
will have no trouble in defeating the Mr.. Ii
st. George Tucker.
I'm my opinion, with fair count, we shal
certainly elect eight out of the ten Congress
