The Row In the Republican
Camp.
Hayes' Southern Policy the Bone
Of Contention.
The Struggle IN the Senate Over the "A

Especial to the Republican,

- teiegraphed to the Republican. Aftel
Lamar was sworn, Blaine called upoH
the resolution to admit Kellogg and
struck out in the style by which he made
his reputation In the house. He is de.
termined to be the central figure in the
senate, and to LEAD the opposition to the
Hayes conclliatory policy. In letting
this b known to-day he gave no uncer-
tain sound to his opinions. He plainly
told the yice-president, who was presid-
ing, that neither he nor Mr.. Hayes had
any title to their offices ii Kellogg was
not admitted to the senate.

To him In surprise and fear--fear that
Blaine would lead in the fight he was to
make, il 1t was to be made at all. The
two had sharp words. and made split

handled himself well, except when he
attempted his tricks OF parliamentary
debate on Thurman, and then he got

after, ii he does not grow wiser. Conk-
lin restrained himself, although he was
anxious to get at his old antagonist and
his lasting enemy.
BLAINE WAS EQUALLY ANXIOUS
To draw him on. He would not take
part, however, and will not. it is believed,
until he learns whether he can control
the appointments in his state. If he
can. he will oppose Kellogg certainly.
He may do this, even If he cannot, merely
to have . bout with Blaine. The Repub-
LEANS In Washington tonight, save the
Hayes-all-the-time class, are calling the
new president the second Andy John.

IL also to keep up the sectional strife, but
he wants the aid of the carpet-bag organ

did get and which he does not care for.
Both think that they can carry the Re-
publican politicians of the country with

Hayes wiz come around. Hayes friends,
on the other hand, say he will not come
around, that he does not care for the pol.

With him.
DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.
The Democratic senator's held short
conference after the session to-day. 1t
was the general opinion that they should
only take part in these discussions when
1t became necessary, and that a good
wholesome row in the Republican camp
Of the kind now going on would gain tor
the Democracy something like an un-
prejudiced hearing among the great mass
Of Republicans. They do not intend by
any action, either In voting or in confir-
nation of appointments or otherwise to
condone the fraud by which Hayes came
In, but intended to ring the changes on
1t steadily henceforth. Tonight there is
much music in the air, and tomorrow
the circus will proceed in the senate.
CABINET POSITIONS.
The president has been busy all day
hearing the friends OF candidates for cab
met positions. The two unsettled places

THE KEY MOVEMENT.
To-day . delegation of Tennesseeans
called on Hayes in Keys favor. Thorn

nessee, also saw Hayes and told him that
the appointment Of Key would break up
the Republican party of Tennessee.

Thornbnrg replied that he was.
"Then," said Hayes, she shall have the
Office II he win accept" Key arrived
here tonight but up to late hour has
not finally determined whether to &C.
eept. The probability is that he will.
