rraphed National Chairman Jones of the
Democratic committee to come here at
once and use his efforts to secure fair play
for the Goodwin ticket in order to hold

that while the success Of silver Is greatly

be han. In the event TINT the Populists
arc xstisffed with tho rcsuitof next Mon
day they wilithen demand the removal
from the state electoral ticket OF the sew
eral gold standard electors ms the further
price Of Populist support OF that ticket;
Meanwhile General Weaver says he Will
also direct his efforts to helping secure the
election of silvcrite members of the iegls'
lature In order to secure the choice OF a
silver senator. Some very Interesting de-
velopments are looked for in Alabama
