KOUTIvE COMMITTEE, ADMISSION,
ALABAMA, August 5th, 1892.
Hon. Thomas H. Carter, Chairman Of
National Erecuti0e Commtttee, etc
My DEAR SIR:
Your Chief Clerk asked on the
1st, of July 1892, at the same time
handing me set of preambles and
resolutions adopted by the commit
tee, that | should keep you fully
posted as to Alabama affairs, since
which time you have been promot-
ed from the secretary, to the head of
the party organization in the Ma
ton.
Alabama has held a State cleo
ton and | have tried with instruc-
tions by the preambles and resolu.
tions to reconcile and harmonic the
factional trouble within the yarty in
this State, with what success, | shall
leave to you to infer from the with
in correspondence upon my part-if
the party in this State had settled
their differences and united upon
Capt Kolb the Alliance candidate,
bourbon Democracy would have been
driven from place and power in Ala,
but party troubles prevented this;
the Mosley faction espoused the
cause, as | believe, of the Kolbocrats,
while my side supported the Jones
faction OF the Democratic party
not because we loved Jones, but be-
cause we would not surrender to
Mosley. Parson, Kolb combinations,
without tull and fair consultation in
in reference thereto. However, we did
not agree, Mosley supported Kolb,
and ! Jones; the result yon know
through the Newspapers; Jones is
reelected by something near 10000,
when the boot could have been on
the other leg.
| can safely add here, if the party
be united we will unquestionably
carry four or five of our Districts,
with a fighting chance in them all,
putting Alabama's S Electoral vote in
the doubtful instead of the Demo
cratic column.
[ wish to put the question straight
SO you may catch my meaning. Must
Mosley, Parson, Walker, Booth,
Houston, Nininger and others Of
that combine, destroy the elective
power Of the party in Alabama, in
order for them to hold federal APP
pointments here? Are they greater
than four or five Congressman, and
a possible electoral vote? Cannot
Mosley and myself both step down
and out for the good Of the party?
With two electoral tickets. two Re-
publican candidates in each district,
what chance can there bestor success
