jenkins, Chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee of the Wells wing of
a letter to DR.. Gilmer, Chairman of

wing, saying that the two shall re-

letter in reply, saying that the Walker
Republicans left the Wells party be-
cause either forced to do So or oppose
the policy of the President. After
alluding TO the almost unanimous en-
dorsement of Republican principles

asserting that the colored people who
were misled by the Wells leaders are
now focking by hundreds to the
Grant Walker standard, he con-
cludes as follows:
"You ask for coalition of the two
wings of the Republican party. |
cannot admit that the partyis divided.
On the contrary, I claim that the
Grant Walker party is the National
Republican party of Virginia. repre-
senting the policy of the President
and of Congress, and as such no
division to heal the late Wells party.
l have only to lay, we shall gladly
welcome them to our ranks, for we
are unwilling to deprive any class Of
citizens of the innumerable blessings
that must flow to Virginia from an
uuequivocal enforcement of the Ma.
tional principles, of which President
Grant and Congress are the head and
front"

Stewart, United States Attorney for
the Northern District of Mississippi,

Prominent Conservative Republi-
cans from Mississippi, who had an
interview with the President on
Thursday, informed the President
that the only desire of the Conserva-
tive Republicans was neutrality on
the part of the administration In the

ed as replying that he wishes for the
success of the party which would, in
good faith, carry out the reeonstruc-
tion acts, ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution and give
protection to life and property in Mis-
sissippi.
He wanted to know whether the
former enemies of the Government
were acting IN good faith in their
/ professions of loyalty, and said this
| would soon be ascertained in part by
| the action of the Conservative Re
publicans In Virginia. If they were
acting in good faith, ne would be glad
to have not only the intelligence and
influence of that State, but of the
South generally, in support Of his
| administration.
The President inquired at what
time the Conservative Republicans
would nominate their candidates, and
/ when informed that ii would he ahout
the first of September, he replied
that he would see what kind of a
ticket they put in the field, and that
his action would be Influenced more
or less by the subsequent course of
affairs in the South. He adds that he
desires to see the payment ofthe pub
lie debt insured and the integrity and
honor of the nation rendered invio
late, and when this was accomplished
he would be satisfied.
