The Reuuhlilsn marty was pledced 10 resist that

Mr.. McClerrand (Dem.l Of W.-What could
Greeley do to aid judge Dopolas IN obtaining
Democratic votcsY Wnat agency could Greeley
fulfill in adding strength to the political position
Of the Senator Greeley could bring no strength

massage Of the LeeomDton bills None. ar. Az!
sir. h. could d. nothinv-absolutaly nothing
But, sir. there was reason Why these men should
come together at the time. bitterly IA they were
otherwise oppoeed 10 each other Judge Doug

lar army. And engaged in 4 desuitory. uacertain.
guerilla fight. He wanted the Republicans to

giced in An attack upon the Administration Thus
i Was Greeley and the Republicans wanted to
defeat the Dem ,crats But II might be asked.
What ii Gods name did DOUGLAS want He want.

ALI himself. This was uaauestionably the double
ohieet.of Greeley and Douglas The latter was
lust diving out Of the Senate. and unless he Sc.
cured bis reelection he was overwhelmed, and
would macs away from the nublic view until
another election rave him 1 chance Of re-appear.
| inu Thus I have shown th,t Greeley had An ob
iect. that Douglas had an object. in calling for
| foreign aid to sustain him. while the Republicans
4 were to beat the Democrats. But though this
was the programme laid down, am satisfied
1 that the Republicans would not have entered in
1 to such coalition without knowing the condi

pnbl;cans to lend the strength of their shoulder
