Alabama POpulIsts Wrathy over Mondays
ElcctlOn-FusiOn with Democrats I'M
likely.
BIRMINGUAM. Ala, Aug 3, The fol-
lowing significant signed statement
was made public this morning 10y Sec
rotary Frank BaItzall of the populist
campaign committee:
The election last Monday was characterized
by frauds more widespread than any previous
elections ana in the "blacl belt in defiance of
law and contempt of the opposition, which the
law required to be recognized by from three to
ten representatives at every poll,
The populists are very much eXaSperated on
account of wrongs practiced upon them and
will not support the Bryan democratic electors.
They will put ont an eiect0pal ticket for Bryan
and Watson The democrats can take down
their ticket, vote that ticket or see 10000 votes
practically lost II this shall not be done the
populiSts will refuse to vote and let the silver
democrats work out their destiny and repent
of their meanness Self respect manhood,
and civil liberty are dearer to some
people than free silver or any other political
issue. Hon. A. Y. Goodwin made brilliant
and effective campaign, visiting nearly every
county and speaking to the largest audiences
ever accorded a speaker in this state, He has
been elected by from 10000 to 1900 majority
In the white counties and received about 10000
votes ia the "blacR belt" but these 40, 900 votes
are counted toy Johnston giving him major
ity of about % 600

Tie Opening Session OF the Con ventIon at
Abilene Dennison for Chai man.

ADllNHN iNE OUhl Illhls
ABILENE, Kan, Aug. Dust before
noon to-day Chairman Breidenthal
called the peoples party state conven-
ton to order. Rev. DIR. Blayner offered
prayer, G. S. Crawford, populist law
yer, delivered an address of welcome
which greatly pleased the delegates.
Judge A. W. Dennson, of Eldorado,
was chosen temporary chairman by
reclamation. On assuming the chair
Judge Dennson said there should be
fair play, and thus sore spots in the
campaign would be avoided He eulo-
gized the populist party and spoke Of
some of the Legislation which It had
accomplished His mention of the
law forbiddng the execution of gold
contracts was especially applauded.
These laws, he said, were enacted by
the famous stormy legislature of 1893,
and in the eleven days the senate and
house were together in that session
more good laws were enacted by that
legislature than had been passed for 20
years before.
The speaker said that the people of
the United States wanted but two sets
of electors presented for their suffrage
in this campaign--one set for Nc
Kinley and Hobart and the other for
Bryan and n vice presidential candidate
to be agreed upon, and that above
all things it was the peoples desire
that the party managers friendly to
R,,Vnn Ghpttl1 In thaf bn
jority of the votes eff the electoral coll
lege should not be cast for Mckinley
and Hobart.
o. w, llendee, of Reno county, was
elected temp orary secretary and Frank
Honeywell of Cloud, assistant secre-
tary. Somebody tried to run in a
reading clerk also, but the convention
cried it down.
This convention will adjourn leaving
many ugly quarrels to vex the party
managers during the campaign. The
fight between the Lcwcllingand Harris
factions has grown SO bitter that some
men have become open enemies and
only address each other in terms of vi
tuperation and abuse. Yesterday aft
ernoon was particularly stormy and
some disgraceful scenes occurred. The
effect of this mode ofvarfare has been to
turn some of the delegates to Leedy,
King and Munger. 1t especially has
crippled Lewelling, who is unfortunate
in some of his supporters. While he
does not approve of making personal
fight upon any Of his competitors, he
has no control over his friends, and
half dozen have overstepped the bounds
of propriety so far as to cause a reac-
ton against him.
Harris continues to claim his nomi-
nation on an early ballot. He says
that he has 395 votes in sight, although
all will not be registered for him on the
first. On that ballot he looks for no less
than 275, some of his friends scatter
ing 10 other candidates, but he believes
he will have more than enough to nom
mate him, He has taken the field
in person, Lewelling claims 26O votes
on the first ballot, and is apparently as
confident as Harris of success on
the second ballot He preserves an
even temper, keeDs out of rows and,
barring his unfortunate choice of a
few indiscreet friends, he is showing
good generalship

p. billiard and j. d. johnson, compris-
ing the conference committee appointed
by the democratic state convention
yesterday to arrange Il basis OF fusion,
arrived at Hutchinson this morning ac-
companied by about 30 other demo-
Gratis from that convention. They can
accomplish nothing definite until after
the populist convention shall have eff
fected permanent organization.
Meanwhile they are discussing the Sit
nation with ting populist delegates.
They take the position that the wise
course for the friends of free silver TO
pursue is for populists to accept the
democratic electors and the democrats
to accept the populist state ticket. If
the populists will not accept such terms,
the democrats will indorse the electors
to be nominated by the populists, but
will put up a state ticket composed
wholly of democrats and thus let the
populists fight for the election OF their
ticket without the aid of the demo
cratic voters.
