Governor Warmoth's organ, the New
Orleans Republican, denied this morning
the charge made by the National Repu6.
ican and the Times, that the Governor
had sought an alliance with the Demo-
Gratis. The Chairman Of the Democratic
caucus thus answers that denial:
This evening an article in the New
Orleans Republican, under the caption
a Silly Rumor," denies that Governor
Warmoth had made overtures for
coalition with the Democrats. The
Democratic members Of the legislature
think it but just to themselves that
they should make a statement Of the
occurrence which gave rise to this
rumor On the night Of the Ind OF
January, while the Democratic mem
bers were assembled in caucus at their
rooms, Custom House street, their
President, J. C. Montieur, was called
to the door by Gen. B. B. Sims, who
requested an interview with him. Gen.
Sims proceeded to.say that he had been
requested by Gen. Heron to communi:
cate with the Democratic members and
ascertain if some arrangement could
not be effected between the Warmoth
party and the Democrats, Gen. Sims
declaring that the Warmoth party
we're willing to concede to the
Democrats the Speakership of the
House. Upon some question aris.
ing as to the authority of General
Sims to represent the Warmoth party,
He assured Mr.. Monteur that the
proposition came from that party.
Sims was invited to make his PROPOSE
ton in person to the caucus, but de-
clined to do so. General Sims asked
that committee Of Conference should
be appointed by the Democrats to confer
with similar committee OF the War
moth party in respect to this arrange.
ment. Mr.. Montieur returned to the
room and presented the proposition Of
General Sims to the Democratic MEN,
bers, whereupon a motion was made
and unanimously adopted, that the
Democrats decline to appoint COM
mittee of Conference. At the request of
General Sims. two gentlemen, Messrs.
Stevens and Meadows, were appointed
