NEW HAVEN, May l3-P. NJ.
Since writing my letter this morning have had
an interview with prominent Ferry republican,
who is evidently alarmed that the impression has
gone forth that Mr.. Ferry is not In full sympathy
with the administration. He assures mo that the
friends of Ferry in the republican party stand
committed to no policy other than that Of the
Old republican party; that while there is not
so much enthusiasm as formerly for Grant
in this State, the general sentiment In
the republican party Is to adhere to the fortunes
and policy OF the Philadelphia Convention and its
nominee no, matter who he may be, or at least to
remain in full sympathy with the general policy OF
the republican party until party lines are more
closely mapped out. He reports that this is alike
the feeling Of those republicans who support Ferry
and those who support Hawley, and that the ques-
ton turns alone upon the popularity and merits OF
| the two men; that while all
