THE ALABAMA TANGLE.

| More sad-eyed, weeping woe lies in
ambush for the Populists and the
Democrats. Next Monday Alabama
holds state election. There are in
the field, two tickets, one the regular
Democratic ticket; the OF her the fusion
ticket made up OF Republicans and
Populists. Alabama is the state of
Mr.. koib. the fusion champion. who
has been the conspicuous victirc of
Democratic bull-dozing. Elected, be
yond doubt, to the governorship, he
was buncoed out of the place by the
fragrant fraud of the Democrats. For
time revolution appeared near. Kolb
was going to take his seat by force if
necessary. OF course he did nothing
of the kind. but the belligerent ap-
pearance of the state was sufficient
indication of the intense luminosity ex-
listing between Populists and Demo
Gratis.
General Weaver, who was not treat
ed fairly in the south during the last
national campaign himself. has pulled
reinl in Alabama at present and given
an ultimatum to the Alabama Demo
Gratis. He tells them they must con-
duct the elections fairly or the Popu-
lists will refuse to support Bryan.
When Weaver makes the demand that
the elections must be conducted fairly
he means that the Populists must be
allowed to win. This is the Populist
way of putting things. A Populist in
his own mind is never beaten except
by fraud So that the Alabama Dem
ocrats next Monday must allow the
PoDulists TO beat them or there will
be serious trouble later. Senator
Jones. chairman Of the national Dem
Ocratic committee, has been sent for
by Weaver. 1t Is not likely that he
will come. 1t would be ridiculous for
him to order the Democrats of Ala
hama to surrender to the fusionists.
1t would be futile for him to tell the
souterners to allow the negro vote his
full strength and submit to defeat
from him next Monday. This. Jones,
a southerner, understands perfectly
we'll.
But the Populists are not satisfied
with demanding SO much that is i'm
possible. They also order the removal
from the state Democratic electoral
ticket seven gold standard electors, |
before tha Pon1lliStS will SI,nnort |
Bryan.
1t is hardly possible that the Demo |
Gratis will listen TO these demands. |
They are considered insOlent The |
result in Alabama next Monday will |
in all probability be Democratic vic
tory with the result that next election
night may reveal the fact that all the
in one southern state and
almost all the Populists have voted for
William Mckinley.
The politics Of the country in every
1etaIi are terribly tangled One feat
Ire shines out above all others-the
Populists are treating the Democrats
with singular insolence The Demo
rats gave the Populists every possible
at Chicago. The conces-
ions Populism at St Louis accepted,
nut without conceding anything to-
Democracy. Nationally this is pos
ible, but in state affairs and when
Democrats are asked to surrender TO
he negro vote, it is impossible.
