There ia the highest authority for denying the report
published in NewYork and other cities that Senator
Morton Of Indiana has been rendered the English mission
by the President and has declined 1t on account Of III
health No such tender has been made 10 Senator
Morton and inducement could be offered which would
influence him TO leave the country at the present time
Senator Wilson Chairman OF the Republican Congress
sional Committee, arrived here to-day business
nected with the campaign throughout the country.
From letters received from every Congressional district
in the country he ia enabled 10 form judgment
regarding the progress Of the and its results
and he gives as his opinion that there will DO a much
larger number of Republicans elected to Congress than
has been counted by members Of the party and
while he admits that there will he few losses,
he is the result will overwhelm
the Democracy with astOnshment In regard to the
Massachusetts, campaign, Senator Wilson thinks that
Wendell Phillips will draw votes from the Republican
candidate. The workngmen drawn to his support Will
be mainly those who have heretofore voted the Demo
cratic ticket The Senator leaves here tomorrow even
ing and on Friday evening will speak in Philadelphia
thence he returns home
Advces from Tennessee, received here to-day. IRE to
the effect that through the influence of his own Federal
appointees Roderick Random Butler win be renomina-
mated and reelected 20 Congress from the Ist District
Notwithstanding that he is receiving on unwilling sup
port. The Democratic Convention which met at Green
ville broke up in in consequence OF adopting the
twothird for nomination The contest was between
James White and Andrew Johnson White receiving 90
votes and johnson 90. No nomination effected. Mr.
johnson says he does not want 10 for Congress I'M
less he is forced for the good Of the country
The charges against Roderck Random Butler are not
largely credited and do not appear TO affect LIS chances
for nomination and lior election in view Ot the Demo
cratic complications.
