Wise, in letter declining to address Grant
and Wilson ratification meeting at Alexan-
dria, says: /
1t is entirely unfit for me to act with any
political party at the present time and IN
the present attitude of affairs. This have
said, that | cannot and will not act or vote
with the so-called Liberal Republicans.
They are too liberal; they are so loose as
to have no principles, and to adopt
the worst as well as best to suit the birds
OF every feather that met together at both
Cincinnati and Baltimore. They have in
strange confusion mingled white spirits and
gray, SO that party are the worst of naon-
grels and all things to all men. To you
have patriotic word to say: Excel the
Liberal Republicans; be just and true Re-
publicans to yourselves and to all men. The
time has cone for Gen. Grant to let US have
peace.
A conference of several prominent
strsightout Democrats was held to-day,
with the alleged purpose Of forming a coa-
lition against Greeley and stump the State
for Grant.
