Have Amalgamated, as the Age
 Herald Predicted.
THE CONGREssMEN DIVIDED
The Republicans Get Four Dis trIcts, and Two Are Open
 to the Field.

The union of the Jeffersonians, the pop ulites and the republicans is no longer in doubt. All through the past two cam paigns they have worked in harmony with each other, their one aim being to defeat democracy, but their separate organiza- lions were kept intact, each with it's chair man and campaign committee. They still have separate chairmen, no conventions ! having been held recently to order other wise,
 At the meeting of the committees in Bir- mingham Tuesday and yesterday the work of amalgamating was completed, aud un- less some of their schemes fall through all the forces against democracy will enter the congressional campaign supporting one and the same ticket.
 The AaE-HERALD of yesterday told of the proposed convention to be held iu Montgomery the day before the assembling 0f.he legislature and of the plan mapped out for the coS SgTsssional campaign. The committees met again yesterday morn ing and selected central campaign com mittee for the state, with A. P. Longshore of Shelby county as chairman. The other members of the committee are r. G. Bow man, Joseph H. Parsons and Dr. K. A. Moseley, Jr., all of Birmingham.
 As is well known, Dr. Moseley is chair man of the republican state executive com- mittee, and Mir. Parsons was until two years ago republican. In the last elec- tion he was the Jeffersonian nominee for porter of Captain Kolb in the last two campaigns, and two years ago Mr. Long, shore was the Jeffersonian nominee for congress in the Fourth district.
 An appeal signed by A. T. Goodwin, chairiuan of the Jeffersonians, and J. w. nboi irrn Tn of out yesterday urging the diff rent congress sional committees to call their respective conventions at as early a date as possible and put out their tickets.
 The nine standard bearers for the nine Alabama districts have already been agreed upon, so it is said, and all the conventions will have to do is merely to ratify the se- lections made by the committee.
 The slate reported to have been agreed upon gives to the republicans four districts, the populites three and leaves the other two to be fought for.
 Dr. Mosely selected for the republicans the First, Fourth, Sixth and Ninth, and 1t is understood the following men are slated for the nomination in those districts:
 First dstrct-M. D. Wickersham of Mobile.
 Fourth district--W. F. Aldrich of Shelby county.
 Sixth district-Either Capt. B. M. Long of Cordova or Judge J. B. Shields of Jas per.
 In the Ninth there is likely to be fight for the nomination. It is understo ood that Dr. Moseley and MT. William Vaughan are candidates, and some of Mir. T. H. Aldrich's friends are urging him to allow his name to go before the convention. MT. Aldrich is brother of A.r. w. F. Aldrich, who has been slated for the nomination in the Fourth.
 For the popuiites they will ask the nom- ination of W. T. Smith of Butler in the Second, Gus Barnes of Opelika in the Third and Senator Goodwyn in the Fifth.
 If Colonel Denson should fail of the dem- ocratic nomination in the Seventh it is said the congiomerates will put him up to lead their ticket. Professor Blakcmore, who made the race against Colonel Denson two years ago, also aspires 10 that honor.
 In the Eighth General Wheeler will be opposed by either Judge R. A. Mcclellan of Athens, D. D. Shelby of Huntsville or Major Gordon of Athens.
 The committees adjourned yesterday morning, and the several members re- turned on the afternoon trains to their homes.
 Senator Goodwyn, in conversation with an AGE HERALD reporter, said the pros- poets for the success of their ticket ia No vember were very bright, and that only the ballot box suffer stood between them and success.
