last week with ga large number Of the promi-

Prominent republicans associated with him in

Gid not seek an expression of their views OF pro-
IOse coalition, believing that anything in the
shape of compact would be injuiicious, and
that the object to be gained would best be pro-
noted by spontaneous action on their part.
The democratic members thereupon asked kis
opinions. He told them s'that the logical cand;
date for the republican opposition to adopt
would be one who would be likely to be the
most unwelcome to the democrats; that any At
tempt to select a candidate partially agreeable
to the democracy, or to yield them the Vice
President on fusion ticket, would prevent us
from being able to handle our forces, and leave
the immense food of the republican majority
to roll back and settle at the feet of Grant. -

know that Mr.. Wilkes cannot point ont a single
republican member in either House OF Congress
