During the past summer State convention OF Loyal
League delegates held proracted councils al Saratoga
So carefully were their discussions guarded from pub
city that no material disclosures OF them have hereto
fore been made or conjcctured II appears, however
that the perpetuaon Of the Union party was the aim
and the reconstruction of that party the business
sidered Here it that the Morgan interest made its
first most effective demonstration. Tho Weed and
Seward ntcrcstw substantially excluded and ignored
and the new leadership formally set up. The late con-
vention at Syracuse exhibited with telling effect the
suits Of this job The radicals, called held the con-
vention but as It had been previously planned, Weed
was taken on board, SO to commit him at
every point to its work. It Is well known
that tho nominees mainly Morgan men,
and that the platform is practically the

upon the death Of Lincoln great anxiety began to be
felt in regard to johnson and the safety OF the repub

RECONSTRUCTION MOVEMENT.
To the close observer Of political the facts
stated here in regard to the reconstruction movement In
the republican party do not need collateral conrma
ton But a conclusive result Of the the
republican Senatorial nominations throughout the State
mark not only the theory, but the contamination Of this
scheme for dominant party in this State. In this
list of nominations not four Ave DO counted

that Of George H. Andrews Walter L. Sessions, when

being their personal opponents To extent which
