THE AsTl-BPEfCER REPUBLICAN DELEHATioR
from Nahama which has teen In Washington
during the paat weals, hha returned to that
Stato. Its me1nbeEs report tho reform move
nent In Alabama Is having met with very grati-
tying SUCCESS. aod thor GO homo much en-
couraRed by their interviews with tho President,
Secretary OF tho Treasury, Attorney General,
and Postmaster General. An erroneous report
has boon circulated that tho object OF these Son-
tlamen In visiting Washington, was to secure
tho removal OF certain Federal officials In Ala
bama who wero acting In tile Interest OF Hpoucor.
and using tho powes given them by their oilicinl
positions against Republican reform. Tho truth ia
the officials referred to arc In full sympathy With
the delegation. and tho latter only ask Of tho
leads Of The Executive Departments here In
Washington that they be not removed on
count Of their opposition to Spencer rulc. While
It la not understood that any poaltiyo promises
wero made, tho Committee haye returned with
tho feeling that thoy have the sympathy and may
expect tho legitimate support Of at iosHt two Of
tho Cabinet, Ii not OF tho President. Ihoy ask
for no offices themaolvea nor for thnir friends,
hut simply that they be loft alone, and TINT no
Federal official bo marked for removal because
he has Joined the'r movement.
