BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 5.-Frank
Baltzell, secretary Of the populist cam
paign committe, has published the fol-
lowing card: "The election last Mon
day was characterized by frauds, more
widespread than any previous elections
and in the black belt, by defiance OF
law and contempt for the opposition,
which the law required should be recog-
nized by three to ten representatives, at
every poll. Reports state that Dallas
ard some other portions of the black
belt country will send up the usual ma
iority, which means that Whatever me-
jority may be needed from these coun-
ties will be cent up next Saturday when
the votes will be cauvassed. The pop
ulists are very much exaspersted on ac-
count OF the wrongs practised upon
them and will not support the Bryan
democratic electors. They will put out
an electoral ticket for Bryan and Wat
son, and the democrats can take down
their ticket, vote that ticket, or see q
hundred thousand votes practically
lost.
