 Mobile, Nov. 7-(Special.)-The fac- tionai fight in local Republican circles tends to give color to the report that Federal appointments matters have as- sumed a gloomy aspect for some of the aspirants for public office.
 Scarcely had the din of the national light become matter of history, when rumors began to circulate with amaz- ing rapidity. Scarcely had the smoke of the battle disappeared on the politi- cal horizon of sha hattered hopes, when numerous names for political honors and berths soon became street talk and curbstone gossip.
 First came the rumor hat Col. Frank Merrill and J B. Spencer were aspi- rants for the office of postmaster Then successors were in order for collector Of port to succeed Major Tebbetts, and some of his clerks active in the pollti- cal arena. and the rambling rumors kept the wise ones guessing. Nothing definite could be learned as to the truth of these rumors and Major Bar ker. the present postmaster, when ap- preached on the matter, only smiled and declined to be interviewed
