RESULT IN ALABAMA.
Victory Appears to be for tho
Democrats-Fraud is
Alleged.

Nashville, Tenn. Aug. A Mont
gomery (Ala.,) special to the Banner
says: Returns in SO far show conclu-
siyely that Johnston and his entire Dem
ocratic ticket wins by a majority OF
about 10000. The lowest estimated ma
iority is 5000 and the highest is 10000
The Legislature is safely Democratic by
at least two-thirds. The heavy Demo
cratic gains were made in the willte
counties of North Alabama. In TINS
portion Goodwin lPopulist) ran behlhd
Kolb's vote in 1894.
1.-THE Populist leaders in birmingham
are beginning to cry fraud, claiming that
thousands of fictitious votes were cast IN
the black belt, and they threaten that II
Goodwin is not elected they will organ
ize the Populists of the state against
Bryan and carry Alabama for Mckinney
in November. Nothing like official re-
turns can be had from the counties I'M
til Saturday. when the official count will
be made by the returning board of the
various counties, but there is no doubt
that this is the greatest Democratic vic
tory in state politics since 1890"
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 4.-Returns
up to noon today indicate majority for
the Democratic state ticket OF not less
than $4,000. Johnston claims 10000 or
over.
A conference of gold Democrats held
today was attended by Democrats from
all over the state. Capt. j. M. Falkner
of this city was chosen to represent the
Alabama gold Democrats at Indianap-
oils and steps were taken to perfect the
organization throughout the state. Capt.
J. S. Deart of Eufala presided and
every man present was leading repre-
sentative of his section. A state con-
vention is to be held and electors named.
Candidates for Congress will be put out
in every district and the fight will be
pushed vigorously to the end.
Chicago, H., Aug. 4.-The Tribune has
the following from William Vaughan,
chairman of the Republican state eXecu-
tive committee of Alabama: Congress
man A. r. Goodwin, the candidate Of
the Populists and Republicans for gov
ernor in this state, has been elected by
the voters at the ballot boxes, but the
Democrats, by the usual false count of
votes in the black belt counties, will
doubtless give the state to Johnston, the
Democratic candidate for governor, by
some 10000 majority and secure the Leg
islature by the same means. The Popu-
lists are indignant and their leaders
openly assert that in case the count-out
is against perpetrated they will organize
Mckinley clubs and attempt to carry the
state against Bryan"

iHE SPREE is OVERDUE.
The Ocean has Been Foggy and No Par
ticular ANXIETY is Felt.

OACuAssA ]AAAACty 10 - clio
Southampton, Aug. 5.-The American
line steamship New York, Capt. Passow,
which left New York ON July 20 for
Liverpool, arrived here at $40 this aft
ernoon and reported having experienced
very foggy weather. The New York did
not see anything of the North American
steamship Spree, due here last evening,
and some anxiety is felt concerning
her. The latter has on board about 215
saloon passengers, number of steerage
passengers and a crew of about 300
men.
New York, Aug. Enquiries made at
the Office in this city of the North Ger
man Lloyd company show that no anx-
iety is felt here regarding the safety of
the Spree. She was hardly due, it is
stated, at Southampton last evening, and
it is claimed that the fact that the
New York reports having experienced
foggy weather indicates that logs may
be the cause of the delay in the arrival
Of the Spree at Southampton.
