BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 28.--The Re-

been done in Georgia and it is said that
National Chairman Mark Hanna will be
called upon at once to arrange for the
change in Alabama. 1t Is said further
that the negro electors are ready to DO

the Populist convention at st. Louis
meanwhile has served to prevent fusion
of the Populists and Republicans on an
electoral ticket in this state, hence Re-
publican managers have begun to turn
their attention to the direction of the
sound money Democrats whose votes
they will make every effort to capture.
