TIE ALABAMA ELECTION.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, August 6,-At 10
o'lOck tonight twenty-five counties have
sent In their official results. They show
net gain for Kolb over the unofficial re-
turns Of over 2OOO These indicate that
Jones viii have majority Of not over
5000. Il may fall below that. In two
counties heard from eleven boxes con-
taining Kolb msjorities were thrown out
for Irregularities, pulling him down
about 300. Contests are being made In
many south Alabama counties which are
tying up the counts. The Kolb leaders
are perfectly confident of succeeding by
contest in throwing out what they allege
are stuffed ballots In the black belt. The
Jones people are now seeking to COM
promise the difference between the two
factions in order to avert the danger Of
the state going Harrison. Willis
Brewer, the state auditor, and one of the
first leaders on that side, proposes q
committee Of twenty-five, twelve from
each faction and one to be selected by
those, to settle all differences. P. G..
Bowman, chairman of the Kolb commit
tee, proposes board OF three TO whom
shall be submitted all evidence of fctl-
tiouS majoritles, both Kolb and Jones,
to urge the legislature to act according
to their verdict. Jones men are advo-
eating thorough reorganization of the

THE fact that Kansas is producing
magnificent crops this year is no
reason why her people should shut
their eyes TO the different systems
that rob them of the fruits Of their
toll. The Lord helps them who
help themselves, and he cannot be
expected to help Kansas to good
crops every year SO long as her peo-
pie submit to these interest and taxa
tion robberies. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty, and it also has a
great deal to do with the price Of
wheat.

WELL DONE. ALABAMA.

AT the August election in Alabama
four years ago the Democratic ma
iority was 111,223. The following
November Cleveland carried the
state by 6l,123. At the August cleo
tion, 1892, the Democrats claim the
state by the small majority of 5000
or less. The Peoples party organ
ization is only a few weeks old in
that state and has carried fully Is
per cent. of the white vote. In the
short time at command it was inn
possible to efficiently organize the
black counties. This will be efficiently
done before November and Cleveland
will experience a reduction from the
August vote similar to that of four
years ago.
Alabama will be all right with a
big majority for Weaver and Field,
and most Of her nine members OF con-
gress on the. 9Th of next November.

what We have got TO meet. You may

want you to understand that the
truth is TO be told here. In strict con-

That was a good one you got off on

was no attempt at q procession. The

quietly to the grove.
