7rsbsme gives their address considerable prom
inence, as II willing to aid them in their efforts
against the nominees. This move, 9th tho
sanction or aid Of the Tribune, cannot fail 70
withdraw from the republican ticket stNlesss
thirty thousand votes in the State, and give tho
democracy the field with but little contest u
this Is the object aimed ct by Greeley in giving
prominence to the German republican move
ment, we presume that It is done for the ex-
press purpose Of laying Weed and Seward upon
the shelf for the future, which the defeat Of the
republican ticket edectually will do. In tAb
case It would seem singular to see Greeley and
John Van Buren, laboring for the same object
although from far different motives and opera
ting from different standpoints.
THURrOw WEEDS DENIAL No DENIAL AT ALL
Thurlow Weed has written another letter, NOT
quite as long as usual, but far more evasivs.
He pretends to deny the assertions Of the HES
AID in reference to . proposed coalition with
Wood; but he denies that which was never
charged, and is silent In reference to the aesu-
sation made. He declares that "there has mos
been, and never could be, either time or cir
cumstance that would induce him to vote for
Caleb Cushing or Fernando Wood" We never
charged that he would do anything or tho
kind, and we doubt II any person ever sup
posed that be would. We did not mention
Caleb Cusbng's name, and what It has 10 do
with combinations in local politics In this city
is, we imagine, more than Weed can explain.
We're IL not for the extract at the head of 1T.
WIS" letter, 1t would have been next to impos-
sible TO have found mention Of the charges
against him, so marked is the effort of Weed to
write and yet not say word about the coali-
ton.
What we did charge was that there was .
combination between the parties named, work
ing from different standpoints and operating
from their party centres, which would secure .
division of the spoils of the Corporation and
jobs in the Legislature, as well as the Offices in
this city, to their parties Weed has not denied
ii, and il he had said he would never vote for tho
Emperor of France for President of the United
States it would have been just as appropriate
for denial us what he did say. The facts
which we stated existed then, and still exist,
and we now reassert that there is project or
coalition proposed between Weed, Wood.
Cornell and Tweed, for the control Of the Cor
poration offices and patronage and the legisla-
tive jobs, the benefits and profits TO accrue 10
those parties There are several big jobs
coming before the next Legislature, and The
session promises to be the most prolific In that
line Of any since 1860. There are the piers and
wharycs project of the TriOeme, the Broadway
railroad, and numerous others; while in this city
are oil the fat Offices, from the Mayor down, In
GLIDING the heads of departments, Weed, OF
course, would not dare openly support Wood
but he can do II secretly, as he and his friends
have boosted he has done during the war.
When Wood comes TO receive one partof his
pay from the coalition-the election as Mayor
Weed can pretend 20 oppose him by supporting
or bringing forward some weak man ~ an
opponent -..-.ss rss 'sA---';. s ~ ,.i'ss'
