TILLMAN Ar oEIcAao.
He and Gov. Altgeld win Lead the
E1treme DeIegates.

Chicago, June 27.-It is learned here
that Senator Tillman will be early on
the ground at Chicago and that he
Will figure conspicuously with Altgeld
and others in opposition to any com
promise He and Altgeld viii lead the
most extreme of all the delegates SEN
at0r Tilmap's supporters for the presi-
Dental nomination. mainly from South
Carolina, are hopeful that he may get
the nomination before the scrimmage
is over at Chicago. They are counting
on the impossibilfty of any one candi-
date being able to get the votes of other
candidates, and think there may be a
deadlock from which Tillman win
profit. Ut viii be their policy to keen
the silver forces divided as long as
possible in the hopes that Tillmau may
be centered on as the man.
There is much more probability Of
Tillman as a vice presidential nominee
than as heading the ticket The chief
thing ia the way of this is that he has
said to several people that he would
not accept second place if it was offered
him on 16 to i plate If he can't get
first place he believes he can do more
for the white metal on the floor Of the
senate than elsewhere

That there may be no doubt as to how Goodwyn voted in this Murra y-Elliott contested case, we refer to the Congress sional Record of June 4, 1896, pages 6662 and 6663, where it will be found that he not only voted against Colonel Elliott, but voted for the negro Murray.
 Can any self-respecting white man in Alabama read this record of the political depravity and disgrace of the so-called fusion" candidate for governor of the great state of Alabama, without a burn ing sense of personal indignation that once trusted and honored leader of the peoples party" which claimed to be essentially a white mans organization, has fallen so low politically as this man has; and at the same time not be moved by g. consuming desire for the election day In August to come, so that he may receive at the hands of his late party associates the merited condemnation of one who would ruthlessly betray and degrade them into political utilization and amalgamation with the republican party, composed as 1t is principally of Lew Parsons 142,0OO negro bucks.
 Let every true white man in Alabama answer this question on Monday, the 3rd day of August, 1896, as his conscience and love for his wife and children demands.
