The hOLB CR0WD EXPOSED.
A Former PopuIist Makes Some senss
tional DISCLOSURES.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. March 9.-The
biggest sensation Of the Alabama cam
palgn has just been sprung. Some time
apo the Alliance Herald, the official organ
of the KOlbites. began warfare on len
Delemos. Secretary Of the state KeyuD-
lican Campaign Committee. IN reply Dtie-
mos published card IL several Demo
cratic papers. threatening To make public
the vouchers which would show that
money was paid through him from the
National RepubIcan Committee two years
AGO TO certain kolbite and Populist lead
ers whereby the Weaver electoral tick
e. which was supported by these two
parties were. if elected, to vote for Hafrl-
son. IL Alabama's vote was needed TO
insure HarrisOn's election.
The Alliance Herald bitterly denied this
charge. Now the Grecnvillc Living Truth,
Il straightout Populist paper. edited by
j. III. Whitehead, Probate Judge OF
Butler county, who was on the Weaver
electoral ticket, but who has since given
l<olb the shake, the result OF break be-
tween him and the k0lbites. comes out
with a lengthy publication exposing The
deal. Among other things ii says:
Now il happens that the Gator OF
this paper was one of the electors Of

Ing but the truth. Ben Delemos has told
the truth, and the Alliance Herald is
singularly ignorant if it don't know H.
after the Lakeview convention the
Kolbite electors were summoned TO Biz
mingham by Colonel =. {. Bowman.
chairman of the kOlb committee. Most
Of them responded. and at Birmingham.
in Colonel Bowman's Office, in the pre-
sence Of Captain Kolb, the electors sign
ed an agreement that had been written
by Colonel Bowman. or under his direc-
ton, and presented to them by him, by
which they obligated themselves in writ
ing 10 vote for Harrison in the electoral
college. if it should be apparent at
the time that Weaver could not be
elected. The editor of the paper signed
it voluntarily as one of the electors
Whitehead's paper avoids mentioning
anything about the money condition by
which this deal is alleged TO have been
made, but Deiemos declares he has the
vouchers which show how much money
was paid and who got it. The effect Of
the exposure will be a stunning blow 10
the Kobite-Populist combine Democrats
believe that this in isself will defeat Kolb
for Governor.
