JONES' REMARKS REVIVED.
He Was Not So Scathing as the Cor
respondent said.

Washington. Aug. 3.-Senator Jones.
chairman of the national democratic com
mittee, was eloseted with the officers of
the democratic congressional campaign
committee the most OF the day, it hav-
ing been his first opportunity Of getting
acquainted with the work that has thus
far been done by that committee and the
plans it has mapped out for the future.
Among his callers at headquarters were
Senator German Of Maryland and ex-
Clerk Of the House Kerr Of Pennsylvania.
Both of these gentlemen were full Of con-
fidence, Mr.. German maintaining that
Maryland would be found to be true to
ats old love when the vote was counted
and Mr.. Kerr predicting some very mark
ed gains in the democratic representa-
tion in congress from the Keystone state
Senator Jones was quoted this morning
in a newspaper as saying that the popu-
lists In the south would go with the ne
groes, where they belong"
IL is not fair to me to make such a
statement said the senator. Il have said
that the pooulist party is divided into
two factions. One Of these is actuated
by patriotic motives, and have gone to
that party because they believed that the
democratic party would not give them
the relief they demanded. When they
see that the democratic party stands ready
to give them free coinage, they will re-
turn to II and support its ticket and its
principles. The other faction, much the
smaller of the two, is made up of men
moved by hopes of personal advancement
ana they would naturally affiliate with
the republicans. l do not believe that
the populist tickets in the southern states
Will initiate against the election of BRYAN
and Sewal, and all the conditions now
point to an overwhelming victory at the
coming election"
A committee representing the local CEN
trail committee, the various state organi-
cations and the clubs in the District of
Columbia, called upon Mr.. Jones this af-
terno0n to persuade him to arrange for
Mr.. Bryan to deliver a speech here. No
conclusion on the matter was reached and
will not be until after Mr. Bryan has
been notified in New York on the 18th in
stant, and arrangements have been made
for his subsequent movements.
Mr.. Kerr. ex-clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, will be given charge of the
campaign in Pennsylvania, owing to the
retirement of Mr.. Harrity, who is not in
sympathy with either the ticket or the
platform.
This afternoon Mr.. Jones reiterated the
statement that he would not decide upon
the location of the national headquarters
nor the name the members of the exc
cutive committee until he reached New
notified.
Representative Pearson of North Caro-
lima, at republican headquarters, reported
a very satisfactory condition of things
in his state. The populists, he said. were
not in humor to receive much criticism
from the democrats and the statement ac-
credited to Chairman Jones In some Of the
| morning papers that the populists would
go to the negroes where they BELONGED
was the kind of talk, Mr.. Pearson said,
that was needed to cause them to come
out openly and vote with the republicans.

A PLEA FROM KENTUCKY.
Democrats Urged 90 Repudiate the
Party and Platform.


Louisville, KY. Aug. 3.--The gold stand
ard democratic executive committee have
issued a long address to the democrats of
the state calling on them not to support
the platform and nominees of the Chicago
convention.
The address in part is as follows: THE
Chicago convention openly repudiated all
previous democratic PLATFORMS and princi-
pies and enunciated reckless dangerous
and un-American creeds. many Of which
have been traced back to populist and
green-back conventions, or to the pronun-
ciamentos of populists or socialists. 1t de-
clared for what would lead to the repudia-
ton of national and individual obligations
and credit. II formulated a scheme for de-
basing the nations money, under which
the established standard of values would
be reversed, the purchasing power of the
wages of labor be reduced in half, and our
nation be set back from its financial place
among enlightened peoples, to a monetary
fellowship with Mexico, Peru, and the
monometallist nations of Asia.
"A platform with candidate that has
thus sought to be, and has been, received
into enthusiastic fellowship by the popu-
list St. Louis convention, and who has
openly declared his determination not to
support the party, cannot seriously expect
to be accepted as the platform and the
candidate of the democratic party"
The address concluded by calling demo-
Gratis who are against the Chicago nomi-
nees and platform to meet I'm mass meet
ings in their counties August 10, and select
delegates to the state convention, which
meets in this city Aug. 90

Washington. d. c., Aug. S-Col. Mac
kenzie who Is acting chief OF engineers
pf the army, during the absence of Gen.
Cralghill, was interviewed to-day by the
correspondent OF the Morning News rela-
tive to the delay In the work in Savannah

Mr.. Hanna did not care TO be inter-
viewed in regard to his conference with
Thomas c. Plat, Charles w. Hackett ami

will accept advice and help from both
factions.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. S.-The thirteen
old Franklin county committeeman, all
sound money men, who were deposed by
the organization effected by the free sill
yer democrats, held meeting here to-day
and passed resolutions refusing to recog-
nize the new committee.
Their action is believed to have been
under direct suggestion from W. C. p
breckenridge as each member is warm
friend of his.
This action is taken TO mean that Breck-
enridges friends will declare him the con-
gressional nominee and that he will make
the race.

ALABAMA is ALL RIGHT.
DEMOCB ATTIC GAINS IN BLACK AND
POPULIST DISTRICTS.

The Election PASSES on Quietly, but
Returns Come in slowly on Ac-
count of the Length of the Ticket.
Democrats Reasonably Certain of
Rolling In "A Good Majority for
Johnston and the Legislative Can
didates.
Montgomery Ala, Aug. S.-The election
is being held in Alabama to-day for state
and county officers and members Of the
legislature.
a heavy rain fell early this morning, bat
the weather was fair and pleasant when
the polls opened at o'clock a heavy
vote is being polled all over the state. Pop
ulists and republicans are making spe-
cial efforts to capture the legislature.
No trouble has been reported. Both sides
seem sanguine Of success. but the demo-
Gratis are more 50. The democratic mama
gers now predict Johnston's election by
10000 majority.
Mobile. Ala. Aug. S.-The election in this
city and county (Mobile) so far as heard
from. passed of very quietly. The weather
was conducive to the polling Of a large
vote, the day being clear and warm. with
fine gulf breeze to temper the heat.
Present Indications are, however. that the
vote in the city at least has been light.
The total registration I'm April last was
something over 1900 There will be good
majority for Johnston and the state DEM
ocratic ticket. The republicans did not
take much interest im the election, and
what votes the populstic ticket got were
scattering, for they have no organization
in this county.
Montgomery. Ala. Aug. 3.-Reports from
the state are to the effect that every
thing passed off quietly. In many To-
calities light vote was polled. All the
black belt counties have given round dem
ocratic majorities The democrats have
made heavy gains in a number OF white
counties, which have heretofore given pop
ulst majorities, and also gained num-
her Of representatives in the Legislature.
IL is impossible to give anything like an
estimate now. The ticket is "a long one,
containing not only state officers. but
legislature and county officers. Indica-
tions now point to a democratic victory
In the state, and to both branches Of
the legislature being democratic.
