THE ALLIANCE
Or Conglomerate Populite- Jeferso- nian Republican Party Preparing
 for the Congressional Campaign.

The state executive committees of the Jeffersonian and the republican parties will
 meet in Birmingham on the 28th of this month to consult with reference to placing candidates in the field for congress at the November election.
 As stated in the AGE HERALD yesterday, between thirty and forty Jeffersonian lead CTS held conference at the Jeffersonian
 headquarters Wednesday. As a result of this conference the call for the committee meeting was issued Dr. R. A. Moseley, chairman of the republican state executive committee, had a consultation with Chair man Goodwin and others of the Jeffersonian party, at which he agreed to call his com mittee together. Both calls are for Au- gust 28.
 The headq uarters in Birmingham will be kept open until after the November eec- tion, so 1t is said.
 It is given out that William Vaughan of Birmingham will be given the combina- tion nomination for congress from the Ninth district and Capt. B. M. Long of Jasper the same for the Sixth district. 4 Both Captain Long and MT. Vaughan are life iong republicans and have always -antagonized the democratic party.
 It is understood that the Jeffersonians, republicans and populists will hold their conventions jointly in the sev- eral districts of the state. This, ae- -cording to information elicited by an AGE-HERALD reporter yesterday, does S republicans, who have all along persist entity refused to enter into a deal with the kolbites. They recognize Messrs. Long and Vaughan as good republicans, and were they to make the race for congress as such would support them but if put out by combination republican, Jefferson ian pop ulite convention this faction, so some of the leaders say, will not support them.
 And thus it stands. All is not lovely in the enemy's camp.
 leaked uplfnrday thot MT SkpCra was mad, very mad. He wanted more money than had been forthcoming, and the report goes that he threatened to quit the game unless the machine was better oiled. It is said that the committee was annoyed all through the campaign just closed with a shortness of funds. The Home Market club contribution did not come up to ex- pectations and donations from other sources fell far short of what was promised. It Is said that draft for EGO drawn by certain Kolb leader in Calhoun county during the campaign was turned down, there being no funds in the treasury with which to cash it. All of this, 1t is said, was extremely galiug to the fnaucer from Talladega, who had been selected by the Kobite5 to lead their torlorn hope.
 The matter of finances was discussed at length, so report has it, in the conference Wednesday, and several gentlemen ex' pressed their dissatisfaction at the empty treasury.
 J. c. Manning, the evangel, who in the election just held was elected to repre- sent Clay county in the next general as- sembly, will make the race in the Fifth Congressional district. He will be given the nomination, it is said, in view of the race he made in his county, having run several hundred votes ahead of the leader Of his ticket. The evangel leaves this morning for Grand View, Tex, where he will address the state alliance, He will then return and proceed to lay the bottom rail of his congressional fence. Whether he will get it built IS oo be seen.
