Will It Be Alabama Fusion ?
Birmingham Ala. Jan. 20.—
Chairman Mosely has called a meet-
ing of the state republican com-
mittee for Thursday in this city.
The populist state committee
meets here the same day. The
two meetings coming together
gives strong color to the general
belief that the republicans and
populists will unite this year in
opposition to the democracy state
and national. The two committees
will have separate meetings but
they will be in close communica-
tion and the question of fusion
which is agitating both parties
will be finally decided.
