The Richmond Wing of the 10Th says ::
1t is understood that Blair had a private
and confidential interview with the Pres

had no ol6eial intercourse with any mems

may lead to conference between author

THE VOTE In CONNECTICUT.

The few republican journals who, in their auxi-
ETY. to sustain President Johnson because he rs the
president, and not because he is right leap over
beyond any position which the president has taken
and oppose negro suffrage at the north, are weak
and SILLY enough 10 the denial of the
suffrage to negroes IN Connecticut.
The vote IN Connecticut clearly shows that the
majority of the union Republican party, nearly
the whole ut II, favor negro suffrage, and that
hence, IT there IS to ne any division IN the party
the opponents Of impartial suffrage the boters
and responsible for the division and the conse-
quent deteat.-ChtcGgO Tribune
This Is frank admission OF what we have
always claimed. viz: that 'the majority Of
tie republican party focor negro suffrage" -
The Tribune admits it, and it is true. All
the republican candidates for office, in this
county, favor negro suffrage, and there is no
other way in which conservative republicans
can show that they are true and reliable
friends of Andrew Johnson but in voting
against every one of them.
