NO SYMPATHY FOR MANNING.
His Talk to New York Did HU League
no Good.
ecW Oilcans, Much 2C. V.'hen he nr-
S anlzed the ballot reform league here
lr. Manning stated to hill speech that
he had no object to view except the
purification of «ho ballot In all sections
‘of the country. Hla recent manifesto to
New York has evoked much feeling
and adverse criticism among all classes.
The ballon) Deform element criticise
Manning’s utterances as freely and re
pudiate Ills sentiments to as great de
gree as thq most ultra Democrats. The
following comments will indicate the
general drift of aritlcwns:
The Stakes says editorially: "We
have in the south a good deal of corrup
tion to our elections, so much, lndiued.
thalt most of us ore ashamed of It and
here to this city we have a powerful
and earnest Ballot Rafbnm ’League
which Is seeking to crush out this evil.
The States Is In this movement with all
Its heart anti soul and strength; but wa
do not want any Intermeddling in our
affair by northern state, by Dr. Park-
hurst, Mr. Recorder Goff nor Mayor
Strong nor anybody else butslde of
Louisiana, and we believe such Is the
sentiment of our sister state of Ala
bama."
Dr. H. Dickson Bruns, a prominent
Democrat, and leader of the reform
element, says:
Manning has shown the cloven foot.
He has proved himself Insincere In his
statement made at the organization of
the league that he had no axe to grind.
The axe has appeared. Ballot reform
league cannot afford to all itself with
any faction and relies for Its success
upon Its separation from partisanship.
If there be dirty linen lo wash It must
be washed by ourselves. I entirely
disapprove of Manning's utterances."
W. S. rarkerson, one of the leaders
of tlhe recent bolt from state Democra
cy to the white Republican party: "II
wc cannbt arrange our own affairs, no
other people can. I do not care to
discuss Alabama polities but will say
that I consider that to attempt to drag
northern Interference Into southern pol
itics Is unjustifiable. I said so at Bos
ton and now reiterate It. We south
erners are competent to s-ttle all our
own political differences among our-
seives."

Atlanta March 2.—(Special.)—Presi
dent Samuel Spencer of the Southern
railway, -who Was been here several
days, submitted to an Interview this
afternoon on the sublect of tho recent
wrecks on Ms" system in Georgia, with
special reference to the disaster near
Jackson today.
"These wreck*," said Mr. Spencer,
"are not the fault of the railroad com
pany, and we should not (be criticised
for them. Today the reports show that
the spikes holding the rails Wad been
drawn when the accident occurred.
Then in tne wreck ax Souihmd, a cou
ple of weeks ago, a switch 'lock, was
broken and the opened switch caused
the wreck. .
"It 1s plainly eividcnt from these
facta," Ire continued, “that the troubles
e are having Is due to the work of
persons who desire to Injure the com
pany regardless of the fearful loss In
human life that such a method of war
fare would Involve. Who these persona
are we do not know; In fact, have no
Idea, but It Is the determination of
the company to discover them ahd to
do so we win offer a heavy reward for
their Identification and capture. This
reward will be formally placed very
sbortly.
"We not only do not know whom to
sffitpect, although there Is no doubt of
their recWleas antmority, but we are
completely at a loss to underetand the
reason for the animus, although when
the guilty ones are Identified the cause
of their desire to hurt the company will
doubtless he devloped.
Vice President Baldwin nnd General
Superintendent Lum have gone to the
scene of the wreck today to make a
thorough investigation. President
Spencer hopes they will be able to se
cure Information that will throw light
upon the perpetrator* of t-he outrage
nr-d disclose the Identity of the South
