A prominent member of the Radical wing
Of the Republican party in Virginia, which
ran the Wells ticket, told me, in in the course
Of a lengthy conversation; on Saturday, that
be felt confident the cause of Republicanism
had gained, for both the present and the
future, by the election Of the Walker ticket.
This tallies with expressions made to ne by
other geutlemanin the same boat; and I ana
led to regard it as the prevailing opinion
among all who had and have no personal
passions and interests concerned Ia the9fea
suit. iotI 40 '-'07ii'''-''' eHs 20
Secretary Boutwell, has Wrritten a letter, 4
see, 10 Mr.. Stokes, the Radical candidate for
Governor Of Tennessee, expressing the earn
est wish for his election. on patriotic grounds.
Ny Impression is that this contest is pretty
much second edition Of the. Virginia affair,
in this, that the existence there Of two Re
publican tickets, is, at bottom, more .per-
sonal than patriotic matter. Senator Carl
Schurz is in favor of Senter; and that SEM
ator's opinions are always the product of
conscientious examination of the subjects Of
them. Again, his colleague, Senator Drake,
prefers Stokes, Senator BroWnlOw, again,
fayors Seuter. All these gentlemen are par
excellence Republicans. The Stokes side
would like to have it believed that Mr.. Bout
wen speaks for the Administration l am
satisfied, on general grounds, that be does
not; that the Administration has taken no
decided stand. .-1 ..;7yg-r sdT
The doubts which have been entertained
concerning the President's attitude on the
Radical and Conservative Republican con-
test in Mississippi, may, itoFould seem, be
now, dismissed, from q reported Interview
had With President. GraDt.li 1t is to the ef-
feet that the party by which Dent (ths Pres
ident' .brother-in-lawl has been nominated
was disinVored by the Administration, as
the Administration was ,disfayored by the
great body of that party, whose spirit. and
measures the party, if successful, would
aim to carry out; and heregretted that some
good Republicans had lentthemselvss TO the
movement. ..-...... .-..--.a,sL ai "a,
It has been repeatedly reported that Judge
Dent vonld decline the nomination if the
President opined that the success Of the Con-
servatives would be an injury to the Reppb-
lican party, to which he processes to belong.
A less contemptibly servile spirit might man
age to decide that question for itself. Ia
