A Notable Detection.

Sulligent, Aug. 1.-(Special.)- Kolb and a MT. Harvey spoke here yesterday in behalf of Goodwyn and Bob Lowe of Birmingham spoke for Johnston and de- mocracy. Kolb spoke with the air of an attorney whom the court had chosen to defend pauper client. It was. only his words that said anything, as his entire manner was devoid of interest or earn estness except when he touched on Bryan. Then for a moment the mantle of hope and courage would o'erspread his brow and he would be the same genial Reuben"
 MT. Lowe Is considered to be one of the ablest and most earnest speakers that has occupied our stump during this cam paign.
 Kolb is reported as having said at Guin the 30th instant that the populite party would die after the November elec- tion.
 The democrats are having a grand ral- ly at Vernon today and old democrats are coming home every day.
 Shelly Hawkins, a member of the pop ulite executive committee of this county and a delegate to the convention that nominated their county ticket, has de- clared his intention of voting the demo- cratic ticket without a scratch.
 Old Lamar Is all right and don't ex- pect to stand far from the head of the list in democratic majorities.

HENRY.

.Dothan, Aug. 1.-(Specia1)- )-The polit- ical situation in Henry, as seen by your correspondent this, the last day of the campaign, is indeed encouraging. All the county democratic nominees are here today attending the big rally and bar becue. There must be at least 5000 peo- pie here of all political parties. A great many of the populists are here who have been kept away from democratic speak ings, and they are going to listen to the great speeches of Gov. w. c. Oates and Hon. George P. Harrison
 The populists are making their death struggle in this county today and are matching many schemes to beat the dem- crats, but it will amount to nothing. Our ticket will be elected by about 300 majority so say some of our leaders, but in my opinion this is a very low estimate.
 MT. Williams. for the legislature, will probably run ahead of the state ticket as he did two years ago. On account of his personal popularity he will get many populist votes.
 The negroes in this county have be- come dissatisfied with the populist tick et and will vote the democratic ticket al- most solidy.

The wind-Up at Decatur.

Decatur, Aug. 1.-(Special) )-Maj. w. R. Francis, chairman of the district ex- ecutive committee, is at the American hotel down with a bilious attack, but when seen at his room today stated that he is much improved.
 Local politics, In the way of a strong fight between county candidates, Is growing interesting here. A few even ings since the county candidates on the coalition ticket were introduced to a small crowd of colored people and made short addresses. Those present and par ticipating were: Messrs. Lee, candidate for the legislature; Hughes for county collector, Gibson for treasurer, Gibson for superintendent of schools and Mich Holland for sheriff. At the call of the crowd H. V. Cashen, the colored dele gate from the Eighth Congressional dis trict to the St. Louis convention, made a long talk, which but poorly aided the cause of his coalition friends. The meeting very decidedly lacked enthusi- asm for the coalition county ticket
 Messrs. Kyle and Louvic Troup, the democratic legislative nominees, will also attend the Trinity meeting, and are billed to make the closing speeches in the county campaign here tonight. Both Messrs. Kyle and Troup addressed the people of New Decatur last night. MT. Kyle is a member of the Alabama legislature, whose term has just expired, he being a candidate for reelection. MT. Troup is a young man of popular and pleasing address and making his first canvass on the democratic ticket for a seat in the lower house. His speech last night was a moderate, temperate and very thoughtful model of stump speech making.

CIERuRNE.

Edwardsville, July S1.-(Special Corre- spondence) ce)-Indications now point to landslide to democracy on August in Cleburne county. Many former demo- crats, who went off with MT. Kolb in 1892, are now returning to the democratic par ty and will give Captain Johnston their hearty support. The rank and file of the populist party, who are in favor of de- mocracy and the free and unlimited coin- age of both gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, and who regard prin- ciple more than party, can very easily and clearly see that neither can be &C., quired through the populist party, con- sequently they are now willing and ready to fall in line with the great army of the people-the farmers, the toilers, the producers-in their efforts to over throw monopol.es, trusts and goldbug- ism and restore to this government bi- to the producer higher prices for his pro- ducts and to the people generally pros perity and happiness.
 The populiStS and republicans of this county have always worked together, and this year they have refused to let the democrats meet them on the stump. So each party had to make its own appoint ments. The populists went first, and have accused the democrats of being re- sponsible for every i'll that has struck the people in any way. socially, finan- cially and otherwise. The democrats are taking a conservative view or things, and are not saying anything to arouse passion or prejudice or to offend anyone. The populists even admit themselves
Birmingham state herald., 1896-08-02

ans-went into the fight with a conceded majority of 400, but that has melted away from them until they would be well sat- isfied if they could come out even now.
 J. T. Bolding, the democratic candidate for the legislature, has made a splendid fight against his populist opponent, w. T Cast, editor of the Hustler of this place. The chances are strongly in Bold ing's favor.
 As Franklin was the banner Johnston county, having not a single opposition delegate in the county convention 1t goes without saying the "red-headed roos- ter from Jefferson" will come out "cock of the walk Monday. In the populite strongholds we are betting on him as 8 dead sure winner" The democrats made no nominations for county offices and it is of course a free for all race. The populites nominated, but the chances are that the winners will be elected on their personal merit and politics will be left out The political fight is on the member for the legislature only.
 Bickley, populite nominee for the sem ate, will carry the county by small ma Jority over Judge Matthews, but this will be more than offset by Marion and Colbert counties, giving Matthews a safe walkover in the district

CHlLTON,

Clanton. July 31.-(Special Correspond ence) )-The democratic party in Chiffon county is gaining ground. The opposi- tion carried the county in August, 1892, by a majority of 11S0 and again in Au- gust, 1894, by 739. In the congressional election in 1894 Aldrlch, the fusion can didate, carried the county by 475 major ity. I do not think the people are as we'll pleased with fusion now as they were then. These figures show a continuous falling off in favor of democracy and there Is good reason for believing that all former majorities of the opposition will be greatly reduced on next Monday. Many democrats firmly believe Johnston will carry this county.

TAlLADEGA.

Talladega, Aug. 1.-(Special) l)-With the warm weather we have warm poli- tics. Tonight ends one of the greatest campaigns that the democrats have ever managed in this county. Talladega coun- ty was certainly fortunate in having Hon. Sydney J. Bowie to manage the af- fairs of democracy through so heated a campaign as we have had. Speeches have been made in every locality in this county and all show good results. The popultes have fallen in their estimate of their white vote from 2300 to 1000, and they naturally overestimated that.
 Hon. w. I. Bullock made a speech at Chandler's Springs and all were so well pleased with him that he spent the last week entirely In this county.
 Today the executive committee of Tal- ladega county and the campaign com mittee of each beat held joint meeting. Almost every member was present and all showed great confidence in the work that has been done and expect fine ma jority for all democratic candidates.
 The populites had their last gathering in Talladega today, and 1t seemed many knew 1t to be the last reunion of the pops, for they stayed away. The crowd did not rise in numbers above that of every Saturday. Kolb made speech to a very small crowd assembled in the op- era house. When he made his speech here two years ago he was greeted by thousands who yelled and hurrahed all through the day. But today not hurrah has been heard; not the least sign of en- thusiasm; no signs of Kolbites. He made a speech on free silver and indorsed Bry an and told his audience to lend him their strength.
 The negro can't see, after the pops want his vote to elect Goodwin, why it is that the pops will not give their vote will not be defrauded in this manner

MADISON.

Garth, Aug. 1.-(Special)-T bar becue and speaking here on Thursday was a complete success, and we are sat- isfied that it will result in great good toward the success of the democratic ticket here Monday. People were here from all over Madison and Jackson coun- ties, and they listened to the speakers attentively and we can safely say that the democratic party won votes by hay ing the joint discussion of the issues of the day.
 MT. Longshore.. the populist speaker, led the discussion and was followed by Mir. James H. Branch of Huntsville. This was MT. Branch's first speech of the campaign, but he showed himself to be well posted and completely riddled all the points that Longshore undertook to make with facts that could not be dis puted. MT, Branch made deep im- pression upon the people for he is forci- ble speaker, and we heard many say it was one of the best speeches they ever
 Yn the afternoon Col. H. c. Thompkins opened the discussion and was followed by Capt. F. J. Fitzpatrick of Bridgeport. Colonel Thompkins' speech was mas terly effort, and he held the entire atten-

BlBB.

Centreville, August 1.-(Special) )-The campaign will closa at Blocton tonight. For the past two weeks the democrats and populites have engaged in joint de- bate, and they have canvassed the coun- the democrats, and they have gained canvassed and the democracy is aroused and enthusiastic and confident of victory The barbecue here yesterday was a great success. There were over 700 people on the grounds. Able speeches were made. That of Colonel Quarles is universally pronounced to have been one of the strongest ever made for democracy in Bibb. 1.-The barbecue, thanks to the able management of MT. M. F. Gardner, was a perfect success, and every one left in the best of spirits. Never before have the democrats been so confident of vic tory. They have fought the battle against fearful odds, and a glorious victory is now within their grasp. The entire dem ocratic county ticket will be elected by 300 majority. Robert Vance, for sheriff, will run ahead of the ticket, and so will Pratt for superintendent of education. Lavender, democrat, will defeat Rev s. M. Adams, populist for the legislature by 300 majority. The republican county ticket will poll nearly as many votes as the populites. The democracy of Bibb sends greeting to her sister counties, and on the 3d day of August will take her place among the democratic counties of Ala bama. JOHN T. ELLISON,
 Chairman Democratic Executive Com

SUM I ER.

Livingston, Aug Especial 1.-The campaign in Sumter county has been de- void of excitement The democratic tick ct is composed of we'll known, strong and popular men. There are not over 100 white populites in the county, and when about sixteen of them met in (so-called) convention and nominated a populite ticket they declined to put a negro on the ticket. hence the negroes will not sup port them, but will vote the democratic ticket.
 The campaign has been quietly but consistently, pressed all along the lines, and we confidently expect sweeping victory of over 2000.

ET0WAH.

Gadsden, Aug. 1.-(Special)-As the campaign is nearing to a close and be- ing chairman of the democratic executive committee of Etowah county, I thought a summing up of the situation from the best information have been able to ob- tain. Captain Johnston will carry this county, overcoming majority of 562 votes for the opposition in 1894. P. L.. Archer, our candidate for representative, will also be elected by about the same majority as the state ticket We made no county nominations, but the opposi- tion did, and the county offices will be divided up between democrats and popu- htes.
 We have some of the best men in the county, who supported the opposition ticket two years ago, who are supporting the state ticket and Capt. B. L. Archer for representative. The following are among the number: Judge of the Pro- bate Court James l.. Moragne. Tax As- sessor B. O. Lee, County Treasurer 10. B. Reese, County Superintendent of Educa- tion w. T. Gay, George w. Whorton, Poke Lee. E. M. Ruling. James Gidley, w. M. Whorton. F. M. Aver and T. M. Anderson. There are scores of others. The leading republicans will also support our ticket and the colored voters say they are not satisfied with the populite contingent.
 Bowman and Parsons are billed to speak at Gadsden today. The populites are making desperate effort to win for Beeson, the populite candidate for repre- sentative, but the democrats are deter mined to defeat him, for they are tired of his harangues and tirades on the dem- ocratic party. Place old Etowah in the democratic column.

 mittee Etowah County.

PERRY.

Uniontown, Aug. 1.--fSpecial)-The democratic party in Perry is in splendid trim and it's prospect is fiattering. Everything points to large gains in the white beats, and in fact in all the beats in the county. My information, gathered from the various precinct committeeman, Is that not exceeding 100 white men will vote for Goodwin in the county. This county has been thoroughly canvassed and a very large majority for the state and county tickets is expected. The col ored people, or large portion Of them, are enthusiastic for Johnston on account of his stand for silver, and will support the democratic state ticket. Our white people are reunited and will continue so.
 G. B. JOHNSTON, Chairman Democratic Executive Com mittee.

ESCAM BlA.

Brewton, July 31.-(Special Correspond ence.)-After a very careful poll of each beat in our county, as made by the beat chairmen, l give you the following re- suits:
 Joseph F. Johnston, 1925; Albert T. Goodwin, 700; Robert L. Mcconnell democratic nominee for representative, 1032; J. H. l.. Henley, peoples party nominee for representative, 890.
 The entire state and county ticket will, in my opinion, receive a large majority from Escamba county.
 Capt. c. s. Lee, democratic nominee for senator from this district has no op- position, as the peoples party candidate has withdrawn from the race.
 This Is a very reasonable and conserva- tive report, and from present indications the democrats will receive a larger ma- jority than above stated.
 JOHN D. LEIGH, Chairman County Democratic Executive Committee.

MONIGOM FRY.

Montgomery, Aug. L. -(SpeciaL)-There are no differences of opinion among Montgomery county democrats as to the necessity of electing the state ticket. They are fully awake, and will do their duty on the day of election. The negroes are apothetic. A careful estimate of the vote of this county leads me to believe that the democratic nominees will re- ceive about 40O0 majority. This estimate is based on the assumption that the vote will be generally light. If our negro friends turn out and vote the ticket, as many of them are disposed to do, our majority will be increased.
 A. D. SAFER, Chairman County Democratic Executive Committee.

MORGAN.

Hartselle, July 31.-(Special Core spondence )-The democrats of Morgan county from the mountains to the Ten nessee are earnestly at work to turn Morgan into the democratic column by good majority. There has never be- fore in the history of the county been such earnest and persistent work as there is at present. Quite number of our peo- pie who went away with the populists have returned to the party, and are in the forefront of the battle. The ticket, state and county, is gaining accesslons daily, and when the returns are made known on the evening of the 3rd the democrats will have cause to rejoice.

and the entire state and county demo- cratic ticket. Out of 5240 registered voters in Barbour county 4500 will be cast for the democratic nominees.
 When Captain Johnston spoke in this city on the 18th instant, among the many who shook his hand was MT. Jesse Das- singer of beat 10, this county. MT. Das- singer informed Captain Johnston that he had ten-pound boy 30 days old at his house whose name was Joseph F. Johnston Dassinger. Last nights mail brought to Judge Pruett. to be delivered by him, a beautiful silver spoon, on which was engraved Joseph F. Johnston Dassinger, with the compliments of the governor.
