ALABAMA ron FREE SILVER.
Gov. Johnston's Report May Astonish tho
Hon. Elliot DnnfOrth.


Gov. Joseph F. Johnston OF Alabama and
candidate for United States Senator to succeed
John Tyler Morgan. was in New York yester-
day. He takes view OF the Southern Demo-
cratic situation far different from that re-
ported by the Hon. Elliot Daniorth chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee OF
New York. Gov. Johnston has recently
made a four-weeks' speech making tour
OF his State. The race for the Senate Is
to be fought out In the Democratic primaries
called TO nominate candidates for the LeRisla-
ture OF 1900. which will elect the successor to
Senator Morgan. A number OF these primaries
have already been held. and Gov. Johnston said
that Ave OF every seven counties that have
acted have nominated candidates for tho Legis-
lature who will vote for his election to the
Senate. Gov. Johnston said that the cam
paign between himself and Mr.. Morgan would
be fought out largely on national issues. u
IL well remembered that Senator Morgan said
Gratis In the United states besides William
Jennings Bryan and this utterance. II was
said. constitutes rank heresy In tho state Of
Alabama.
Johnston. believe in the free silver issue. and
they are for thu nomination OF Bryan. Before
our campaign opens Senator Morgan tried to
create new issues and to evade positive sup
port Of Bryan and the present national plat
form. His utterances probably cost him many
votes. and when he went on the stump against
me shortly before Congress met he quickly de-
covered that the peoue down there were for
Bryan and the Chicago platform. Our people
are opposed 10 imperiali-m and trusts. bur IN
the next national campaign the issues Of 1875
will again be the main Issues and BRYAN will
be the Democratic candidate for President"

written TO the Attorney General calling atten-
ton to tho recent hearing before the commits

be applied to the new classification. are now tbs
same as or higher than they were In 1897,
when the act to regulate commerce was passed
Almost all the changes shown In the new ela-si-
