Gov Jones, OF Alabama, Haul Him Over
tho Goals.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 28,-
The New York Sun Oh Saturday came
out with an exposure from Boston of
the attempt Of tha Homo Market Club
there to raise $4,000 for Kolb to use in
carrying Alabama next August. The
circular sent out contained letter from
Senator Hoar warmly endorsing the plan
because he regarded KoIb's movement
as promiHlng to break UP the ballot box
slufflng and to forward the cause of
protection. The circular which Senator
Hoar's letter accompanied also state,
that kolb carried the State by IS, 900,
ouC counted out. ln consequence of
this publication, Governor Jones, who
defeated Kolb today, sent Senator Hoar
the following telegram:
Stale Of Alabama,
Office of the Governor,
Montgomery, Ala, March "a.
Hon. George +. Hoar, United States
Senate, Washington, d. 9.
The Now York Sun of S ,turday last
publishes confidential circular of the
Home Market Cun, of Boston, appeal
ing for contributions throughout New
Eogland to raise money to control the
next State election here. Tue circular
asserts some false and scaudalous accu-
sations against tho State government
and the people of Alabama. You are
represented as endorsing the auLhoc of
the ISLANDERS and approving the con ntents
and purposes Of the circular.
The publication, If true, presenst tho
case OF senator from Massachusetts
endorsing grave accusations against
the Governor of Alabama in order to
inflame the feelings OF his people against
him that money may be the better coin
ed out OF these passions 10 raise fund
in Massachusetts to influence the people
OF Alabama in the selection of fi.ers
TO administer their own State govern
ment.
a senator like yourself, who has 90
long and 80 conspicuously guarded the
honor and dignity OF the Statehood will,
[ am sure, concede the right of tha
Governor Of Alabama, who owes a like
duty to her, to ask whether the letter
purpOrtlng to be hom you is genuine
and ,rrectly states your action.

IOAR'S REPLY TO JONES
WASHINGTON, March 28.--Senator
Hoar has sent to Governor Jones, of
Alabama, the following telegram IN re-
ply to the Governors telegram as it ap,-
pears in the morning papers:
Wac lingtOn, March 27, 1894.
Governor jones, Montgomery, Ala.
Letter in New York Su genuine: |
stand by every syllable Of it. haze
no concern with your local aft fairs, but
when Alabama elects senators or rep
reaentatlVes wbOes votes may bring ruin
to the industries and misery to the home
OF New England, we have right as
manufacturers to address arguments to
Alabama TO show her that her interests
arc the same rs ours, and to urge her
that her true voice shall be uttered and
not stlled.
We claim the same right to do what
we honestly think best; to submit our
cause TO our brethren of Alabama as
to the people Of Massachusetts.
No person In Massachusetts, so far
as L know and believe, proposes to raise
money for any other purpose than to
submit arguments to your people on
national questions.
Whether your seat was gained by any
other means than an honest and fair
vote Of your people you know and Ala
bama must settle for herself. / say
nothing in my letter on that subject.
(Slgned) GEO. F. HoAE.
