Birmingham age-herald., 1894-08-28
FOR THE CAMPAIGN NOW ON

The. state executive committees of the Jeffersonians, the populites and the Mose- ley republicans will hold 6 meeting in Birmingham today for the purpose, It IS said, of advising with regard to the course the conglomerates shall pursue in the con- gressional campaign and such other mat ters as may present themselves.
 It is understood that at this meeting of the committees the rule to be observed in the manner of apportioning the nominees
 between the parties will be agreed upon, and all the conventions, which will meet
 later on, will be called upon to do is merely
 to ratify what the executive committees shall see proper to do today. In other words, s ate for the nine congressio nal districts of Alabama will be arranged and the conventions will be expected 10 adopt
 it as whole.
 But from what could be learned yester-
 day all is not serene in the oonglome rate
 camp, and there is likely to be some sick
 wire working done before a final agree ment is reached.
 It is said the republicans, through their
 leader, Dr. R. A. Moseley will demand the nomipation of five republicans, allowing the populists and Jefersonians the other
 four. It has been given out that pr.
 Moseley and his associates in the conglom-
 
 Judge J. V. McDu1ie of Lowndes in the Fifth, Capt. B. M. Long of Jasper In the Sixth, Professor Blakemore of Dekaib in the Seventh and either pr. Moseley or MT. William Vaughan iI the Ninth. MT. T. H. Aldrch is also mentioned in connec- tion with the nomination in the Ninth dis trict.
 In the Fourth district MT. William AL drich of Shelby was slated by committee of both republicans and Jeffersonians, ,saI,., a4 7.1 Ay,r irfn laef Gaft F Aldrich has been lifelong republican, and it is believed will accept the nomina- ton if rendered him.
 Whether the Jeffersoniaus and populites will accept this slate fixed by Dr. Moseley is yet unknown, and it is believed that a 1 hot fight will be made against it. t----a .- An AGE- aERALD reporter had conver- | sation with prominent republican yes- l terday and was told by him of little scheme brewing in the conglomerate fold by which it is hoped by the opposition to defeat democracy in the November election. This republican said that in the event the Moseleyites and Hobbies could not agree upon ticket, 1t was their intention to put out two tickets and keep them in the field until just thirty days before the election, when, by agreement, one of them was to be taken down and his strength thrown to l the other. The names of all candidates l for congress in each district must, under 1 he Sayre law, be filed with the secretary Of state not later than thirty days before the election, and by keeping both tickets in l the field until the thirty y-day limit has ex- pired, it will then be too late for another l ticket to be put out.
 The congiomerates believe that by this l scheme, so the reporer's informant said, l they will make it a square -cut race between 1 the democrats on one side and all the com l bned opposition to democracy on the | other. They think they see some ray of l hope In one or two of the districts of the state if such scheme az just outlined can l be manipulated. However, there seems to l be some opposition 10 this plan and 1t may l not be adopted.
 The republican executive committee of l the Sixth district meets in Tuekaloosa to- l day and will issue call for congressional 1 convention.
