Washington, Dec. 1S.-The row between
the "ins" and the "outs," as the two res
publican factors in Alabama are known
here, was aired in executive session of the
senate today, when the question of Ala
bama appoin tments came up incidentally.
One of the senators, in speaking of Ala
bama cases, said that there were charges
against nearly every appointee in Alabama,
and what was more, many of these charges
would be proven, and some of the nominees
defeated on account of them.
Lee Bryan on the Rack
Col. Moseley and Mr. MADISON are both
here waging war against the presidents
appointees. The Alabama appointments !
was brought up in the senate, and before
many minutes elapsed it was clearly evil
dent that thorough investigation of the
charges would have to be made. There
are charges of a serious character pending
against Lee Bryan appointed marshal of
the middle division, and it is exceedingly
doubtful If his nomination can be conL
frmed. Dark hints are dropped by the
opposing factions with gibness which
might lead to libel suits unless substan-
tiated. There are scarcely any OF the ap-
pointments for Alabama going through
without contest.
Some May Pull Through

tee Vaughan, appointed district attorney
for the northern district; Capt. Barber and
]. f. Leftwtch, appointed register and
receiver, respectively, of the Montgomery
land offices, may pull through. possibly
with only scratch two, but these are
about all. The fight over the confirmation
OF Bryan and Cooper will be the severest
tests the Youngblood- Walker combine will
have to meet.
Senators Pettus and Morgan are looking
on more with amusement than anything
else, while the republican senators try to
find out if anything good can possibly come
cut of republicanism in the SOUTH
