TATION OF THE LATE NEGoTIATIoSs-Is THEFE OK
THRRR NOT FUSION ETC, ETC.
Ths principal topic amongst all classes the city yes
terday the perpexed question OF fusioa lately At
tempted by the politicians in this city, who have ad
journed without being able 70 inform their friends wheth
they dead or alive. Every person that We met let
him be democrat or republican 1t once propounded
inquiry about the fusion. The merchants talked II In
the counting rooms and for tsrried with friend
little longer at lunch trying, possible 70 solve the
mystery ASCERTAIN what must be done 10 what
they were all hborpg for ard which the politicians
seemed determined they rshould not have. There
state Of bewderment all around.
The universal feeling however, seemed 70 be TO no
longer trust the trading politicians but take the
ter out Of their hands and select their ticket
spectve Of politicians, cliques, committees
tions.
II appears that the politicians have overreachcd them
selves that with the exception Of saying what Douglas
men shall be dropped, and what Breckenridge shall
be placed on the electoral ticket fusion ticket already
formed unless Richmond, cagger Co. back out Of the
agreement made by Mr.. wood to accept the ultimatum
Of the Broskinridgc committee FOR this the public
The Intention for they arc frantic with exci,ecn. since
they found the dilemma they are In
Wood hsd N his pocket letter from Dean Richmond
authorizing him 70 accept the ten electors when
he informed Green That be, be would accept
with the idea the nreckinridsc committee would
accept IT, The politicians yesterday full OF crimna
ing that there nufon others that Wood and Rich
had prevented union, whilst the friends OF the
srssn wss chsrman vas responssbie for The whole
aAr and the Bell men, also camc In for say about the
matter. The IDEA Of their uniting with the Brcckin
rfgerswho they denounced them the last act they
ad-was preposterous, Il was pill that would not 20
down without some effort
II appears however, that the people Of the Seventeenth
accomps through the laundering Of the poll cans,
they intend 70 take The rstica.or q out o. The hands
that n fxed should be. An advertisement In the
columns q the HrRAD shows the intention Of the people

hard TO tell where the responsibility Of the present
Of anAirs rightly belonged We therefore give The ntsr
probation OF the negotiations viewed ~ The politicians
