OffMonday in Alabama. Notwithstand-
ing the claim of fKolb, the Farmers AIli-
ance candidatefor Governor, (the Repub-
icans running no ticket, Jones the
regular Democrat is elected by a large
majority-possibly 10000. 1t was
found when it came to the test, a large
part of the democrats who went off
with the Alliance or Peoples PARTY.
swung back on election day to their
old party. No Alliance it is thus
shown, can break the solid south or
swerve it from the Democrats. A new
feature of the election was that the
colored people voted with the demo-
Gratis. A Montgomery despatch saws
lin many parts of the State the negroes
were engaged all day giving out Dem
ocratic tickets and electioneering for
them" The Alliance men had counted
largely on the Republican voters to
help them through. The battle must
be between the two old parties.
