SECRETARY OF THE FUSION CAM.
PAIGN COMMITTEE TALKS.
He Charges That There Wss More
Fraud in Late Alabama Elections
Than Ever Before Experienced.
Says the Populists in That State
VIII Not Support Bryan in the
National Election.

birmingham, Ala, August Frank
Baltzell. secretary of the fusion cam
paign committee, has issued the follow
ing statement:
The election last Monday was char
acterized by frauds more widespread
than any previous elections in the
black bolt, In the defiance OF law and
contempt for the opposition, which the
law required to be recognized by from
three to ten representatives at every
poll.
AT Montgomery, st no court house
poll, an illiterate suspected his ticket
was wrongly marked, showed it to
friend to decide snd the fact was devel-
oped that GOODWIN ticket had been
marked for Johnston. The illiterate
was arrested and jailed for showing the
ticket and the marker who was guilty OF
the crimo was not intercepted.
The Populists are very much eXas-
persted on account Of wrongs practiced
upon them and will not support Bryan
at the national election They will nut
up an electoral ticket for Bryan and
Watson. The Democrats can t,ke
down their ticket and vote that ticket
or see one hundred thousand votes prac-
tically lost. II this shall not be done
the Populisss 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 and any political issue
Hon. A. T. Goodwin made brilliant
and effective campaign, visiting nearly

largest audiences ever accorded q

elected by from 16, 900 to Is 900 ma

ceived about 10000 votes in the black

Issued for her detention as an emissary

Mics Charles succeeded in evading
the order of ayres; by escaping rom

to even change Der clothing when she
sailed.

COERCION IN VIRGINIA.
Wages Cat on the Plea That Free Sill
yer is Obiec tionable.


A dispatch from Wytheville says:
Considerable excitement exists here
over the attempts made by Logan NJ.
Bullits, president of the Crescent Horse
shoe Works, at Max Meadows, to coerce
his employees into voting for Mckinley.
Several days ago he caused the follow
ing notice TO be posted on the door OF
his factory:
To Our Employees: You are hereby
notified Of reduc ton in wages of 80
per cent. This action on the part Of the
company is made necessary because Of
the fact that the agitation for free and
unlimited coinage OF silver has so in
Inundated and discouraged capital and
demorslized toe market that 1t becomes
impossible for this company to sell its
product. Should the scheme OF free sill
YER be successful at the coming cleo ion
1t will be necessary tor these works to
close down entirely.
A strike followed this reduction by
the fifty employees. Most OF them had
families dependent upon them, and
there being no other employment for
them, they were finally forced to csp-
isulate and are now working on the re-
duced scale. When they were taken
back President Bullitt said it was his
sincere wish thst they would vote for
Nc * nley in November.
The employees claim that there was
no business reason for the cut, as the
works are doing we'll The only excuse
for the action OF the president was po.
litical one.
