Robbins began ms cam paign in Cleburne on the 2th instant, ana is meeting with good croWds al ms ap- polntments, and his speeches are being well received by all who hear him. Some weeks ago there was some apathy among some | of our leaders, and especially In the remote | corners would be some derelct as to their | duty in going to the polls on election day, | but there is little fear along that line now, | and Robbins will, without doubt, carry | Cleburne by not less than 300 majority, and 1 1t may reach as high as 300. General John l T. Morgan speaks here on Tuesday, No-
 vember l, and large number of Cteburne's citizens will come out and hear the "Grand Old Man," Americas greatest statesman. - sf3i~s Shelby Is in Doubt iA, | coumbana, October 29-(Specia1)-Th | political situation in Shelby county at the present time, it relates to the approach ing congressional election, is somewhat an unknown. quantity. The democratic candl- date canvassed the county two weeks ago, speaking to small crowds, and in one or two instances finding no crowd at all. The
 opposition, of course, felt very much
 elated over this, but the past week Hon. A. P. Longshore canvassed the county in behauf of Mir. Aldrich, the republican, can-. didate, and met with a still colder srecep-
 ton. Mr. Aldrich himself is canyassipg the county this week, and at Wisenylle, the stronghold of the populists, found no one to talk to- although he had along win him Hon. Lewis Parsons to do his talk ing. -
 This lack of interest on both sides would seemingly indicate a very light vote on the Sth of next month. Of course, it is impos- sible to tell which side will make the better showing at the. polls. Two years axo MT.

 his vote being 1650 to S36 for Mir. Plawman, the democratic candidate. In August of this year the vote of MT, Deans, thA popu- list candidate for governor and whd5fs now managing the Aldrich campaign, waN 1897, falling off in two years of onlx fifty
 three. Governor Johnstons vote In Au- gust was 1,2S4, gain of AS. The Vote in August is about the full democratic strength h, and if 1t is boiled in November the county. will go for Aldrieh by saiaollt
 3OO allowing that he will get the same vote he got before. This he is not likely 10 do.
 Then he received nearly the full strength of the Mckinley Vote, with that of. tllei Bryan and Watson electors. This tinle,-he will not do so well. A great many popu- lists have deserted him on account of his record in congress, as having voted at all times with the republicans and against their principles. Nearly all the white re- publicans in the country are against him on account of his giving all the patronage to popullstS. The negroes. will likely vote for him pretty generally. At this time the indications are that he will get between l. 600 and 800 yoteS
 The democratic campaign is confined to an effort to poll the full democratic vote and to presenting to popuists the dangers or fusion, the inconsistency of Aldrich on the financial issue and the position of MT. Robbins. If the first-named feature of this campaign is successful, the result of the election will be very close Aldrich lead- CTS are claiming a repetition of the pre- vious result, while the more conservative of them claim 800 majority. While the democrats do not concede the county to Aldrich, they say the result is doubtful and claim it will be very close No informa- tion will be given out from the district headquarters, which are established here, as to what they have to base estimates upon, but they say there is no disaffection among democrats. and that there is no reason why the full vote should not be polled,
 The strength of the democrats remains to be seen; the weakness of the opposi- ton is very apparent. I should say that both sides ought to be satisfied with a ma jorty for Aldrich of from 200 to 300.
