Willett of Anniston, who achieved fame in the cast by his "long talk" before Tammany on July 4, last, I and who has been in close touch with the eastern Democrats since that time, was in the city this mo'rning. In an interview regarding the position of the eastern Democrats, Mr. Willett said: i"The Democrats of the east are quies cent at the present time, but they are not sleeping. It is a waiting period. If the November elections in the west, Ne braska, Iowa and Kansas, result in vic tories for Bryan and free silver, and the east, as in Maryland, continues to go Republican, it will be apparent that Bryan is the only choice of Democracy, and the east will fall in line and take its mecicine without delay. "If, on the contrary, the November elections in the west-Kansas, liebraska and Iowa-result in a victory for the Republicans. while Maryland swings back into the Democratic camp, the eastern Democrats will feel that there is again a possibility of reorganizing the old bond between the east and the south, and one may hear of strenuous effort on the part of eastern Democrats to nomi nate a man on a platform that will itand some chance of a victory at the polls. "It largely depends on the result in the west. If it is shown that Bryan has no influence in his own home and among his own people, while the east returns to Democracy, the eastern Democracy will attempt the endeavor to again cement the south to the east and return to first principles. If the west goes for Bryan the east will acquiesce in his nomination." RAID ON COUNTERFEITERS. Two Men Arrested Charged With Making Spurious Coins. ATLANTA, Oct. 12. - Henry Under wood and Albert Williamson, aged 79 and 35 years respectively, have been ar rested by detectives in a cottage near this city charged with counterfeiting.
