The New York Tribune publish.
es letter from = correspondent
at Columbus who, it says is wisa-
and well informed. in which this
statement is made.
tits we'll known that Cen. Noyss
vas not the Presidents choice.
He wanted Ben. Wade nominated
as an Endorsement Of his SAnto
Domingo policy, and for that very
reason the convention would not
nominate him, and chose . man
who had no eutangling alliances
with tho White House. The cleo =
ton does not furnish any indica-
tons of the drift of opinion in Ohio
on the presidential question. The
Washington Republican thus refers
to the assertion that Mr.. Wade
was supported by the Presidents
influence.
It is not true that the President
desir ed the nomination Of Mr..
Wad e. He never expressed . pref.
erence one way or tho other. and
no one WIS authorized to speak
for him on the subject.
The whole truth would not be
stated, unless it was also added,
what was proved by the experience
of many speakers in various parts
Of the State, that no hearsier ap-
plause Was evoked than BY tht
mention Of Gen. Grants name anG
services. The truth Of history
de mands that this fact oh ould b,
known,--Cin.. Gaz.
