HOW SOUTHERN CONTESTS ARE MANU-
FACTURED.

Washington May G (speciaD.-"The Atlanta Con-
stitution' of a recent date contains the following
interesting description Of the methods followed by
the anti-McKinley managers in inspiring frlvo-
lous contests for seats in the ST. Louis Convention

from him and Clarkson, All!son's manager. yester-
day, instructng the Wright crowd to employ al.
torneys, make afidavits. and prepare the best
possible TO present to the Committee on Con-
tested Seats at ST. Louis. This the Wright people
will do at once. Quay encouraged them TO believe
that the combine" forces would have such an IN
fuence in the convention that the chances OF seat
Ing the Wright State delegates were more than
favorable. These kilograms were received In per
feet trust by the Wright people. and they think
that they will certainly be able to throw out the
Buck-Pledger ticket and substitute their own ticket
which also contains the names OF Buck and john
son. but substitutes. in place OF Rucker and De-
veaux, the Of Wright and Hetherington;
Hetherington is an Allison man. and Carkson will
certainly see that he Is seated at ST. Louis. IL 1t
can possibly be done. The great point which the
men on the Wright ticket mean to make at 81.
Louis Is on the claim that their convention was
regular In every respect. and that the Buck move
ments were entirely irregular

WHAT FUSION MEANS IN ALABAMA.

Washington, May (SpeciaD.-J. c. Manning
OF Alabama, president Of the Southern Ballot
Rights League writes TO a correspondent here as
follows on the significance OF the fusion recently
effected in Alabama between the Populist and Re-
publican parties ,, a.,
The deahknell Of ballot box stufing Democracy
in Alabama was struck in Montgomery this week,
when the two wings OF the Republican party and
the Populists named Joint State ticket for the
coming campaign. Although a division was created
in the ranks OF the Republicans because Of Prcs-
dental matters there Is absolute and perfect har
mony on the question OF cooperating with the
Populists In the State campaign on the issue OF
honest elections Each convention declared honest
elections the paramount issue There is no doubt
that the opposition TO the Democracy Viii pre-
sent a solid phalanx and win a sweeping victory.
The silver Democrats have captured the party
organization in this State. and the gold men have
their leaders shelved. That there will be knif-
ing in the Democratic camp one doubts The
opportunity TO reclaim Alabama is at hand.
