Washington, Dec. n.-(Special. .)-!The Alabama situation with regard to federal patronage underwent no changes today. The various contestants are still hoping to secure Presidential favor. The impression, however, that the President will execute a flank movement and leave them all out is growing. In most cases where State fights have been brought to him for settlement, he has found 1t best to ignore factions and start up new crowd In most of the Southern States where feuds exist, he has been calling on representative business men for advice and in every instance they have advised him to shake old office holders and get competent men of character heretofore not identified with politics.
 Nearly all the office holders appointed by the Hanna regime have been guilty of offenses which the President has de- clined to tolerate. These who have violated or evaded civil service regula- tions have committed an almost unpar- donable offense in his eye Nepotism, rife in nearly all of the important South ern offices excites his disgust. Loose morals, official negligence and rounding up negroes at the primaries constitute prima facie evidence of unfitness.
 The Alabama office holders who are be- seiging him for reappointment will be required to show a clean bill of health, so to speak. The influence of Demo- cratic Congressman. and all of them are soliciting it, like the influence of the present machine, is likely to prove un- availing when an applicant fails to come up to the Presidents standard of fitness. Time and time again he has notified party bosses and Congressman of both parties that Influence" is at discount and that he wanted men with character, busi- ness standing, capability, honesty and fidelity, for office. He has turned down Platt of New York, Hanna of Ohio, Fairbanks of Indiana, Kerens of Missouri, -tIawieysof Texas. Cullom of Illinois and other party leaders. He will not hesitate to discard the machine men of Alabama for cause, and he does not care straw whether they organize against him or not. He Is unlike any Republican Presi' dent who ever occupied the chair He intends to have decency in the pubic service if he can possibly secure It, even If he should fail of renomination. There is not a Democratic or Republican Con gressman that doubts the Presidents in- tentions in this respect.
 It is rumored here that General R. D. Johnston of Birmingham, brother of ex-
