THE CONFLICT OF THE REPUBLICAN COM.
MITTERs-CARD FROM Mr.. GRIZZLY.
Horace Greeley this morning publishes
reply to the late communication of the
Chairman of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee, A,B. Cornell, In which
he asserts that tho action Of the State
Central Committee in directing the .reor-
ganizatiOn ofthe party in this city, was an
unwarrantable interference with the local
organization, and was founded In . desire
to advance the interests Of the Federal
office holders, rather than the interests Of
the Republican party. The conduct of
the Central Committee, has not tended
TO secure any adjustment OF tho local
differences which should properly be de-
termined by tho State Convention. The
charge OF Mr.. Cornell that Greeley Com.
mittee was made up mainly of Republi.
can Office holders under the city govern:
ment, Is answered by the charge that Of
one hundred and forty.seven delegates
elected TO Cornell's General Committee,
filty.one arc Federal office holders. Mr..
Greeley in conclusion demands q retrac.
ton Of the hlseho0ds In CornelFs letter.
