democrats Of the South and West seem
to be organizing for the purpose Of head
INK OF tho presidential boom of william
c. Whitney. Senator Pugh OF Alabama
was in Washington. aud when asked what
the sentiment OF his State and the South
was on the presidential question answered
most emphaucaily;
Alabama democrats favor the nonlna-
tion OF William II. Morrison of Illinois,
aud they believe he Is tho choice OF the
other Southern States, All the money OF
the Standard on company can't turn Ala
bana from Colonel Morrison"
His reference TO the Standard oil COM
pany was meant as a warning that Mr..
Wmtney'a efforts TO gain the vote OF Ala
bama would be abortive.
The preference OF the Southern States
often has a great weight with the Ma
tlonhi convention. The roll OF States
starts on with Alabama" "Arkansas."
and following these come several South
ern States, II they vote the same way
the effect Is material In the convention
US the continuous announcement OF solid
state delegations for some particular can
dld8te Is calculated to create enthusiasm
for that man.
