view II has appeared necessary for somo days past
that the two heads OF the national demo.

OF the East and The other that OF the West-snould
in confidential council exchange notes on tho
situation aud agree upon definite policy This step
had become all the urgent from the serious and,
in respects, alarming discrepancies which
had .fcstcd themselves attitude OF tho
Western and tho Asstern democracy While the dem.

Governor Tden, has been emnenily pacific and com.

and long ago these slight but unmstakabe hints
were augmented by personal advices OF still more
foolish and demonstratve character. So one rather

city that tho feeling among tho democratic masses In
Illinois, Missouri and Indiana (thros States through
which he had just been ravellng) was such that II

trusted advisers here, Mr.. Bigclow, Mr. Hewitt aud
Others have looked all along with pronounced dsiavor
upon such absurd threats and ridiculous
rressions likely to encourage public disturb

excited feeling In tho West. and for such mission no
democrat was so available Hendricks, who
is personally beloved and implicitly trusted by the
masses OF Western democrats In this respect the
has been perfectly satisfactory ana G0vor-

longsuncring cooperation ON the part OF the West-
democracy.
THEIR MEANS OF REDRESS.
Both Governors, alter careful review Of the whoic
Hed and perfectly candid exchange OF their views
bearing every possible phase OF the contest have
reached the conclusion only that they are elected
by majority of the electoral well rs the popular
ycte but also that they will DO quietly and peace

very high position in the party aud had been much
with Governor Hendricks. yesterday said-"Covcrnor
Hendricks is excellent spirits ana perfectly con-
dent OF being gurated the 9th OF next March.
He does doubt that the hrcc disputed States Will

ors agreed the Vice President has nothing TO do
with The counting OF the votes but simply opens them.
and Congress alone counts the votes The results
of their legal examinations during the conference
were convincing TO their minds that, according TO
the constitution and the practice OF Congress, tue
fraudulent dongs OF tho three returning boards
will be reversed by Congress, and that their
Inauguration will follow in consequences Governor
Hendricks was found 10 be In perfect accord with

That Governor Hendricks will succeed In his endeavor
TO restrain his more violent Western fellow democrats
is not doubted by prominent representatives OF tho
party In this CITY, and, In general, happy results ara
expected to flow from this pleasant reunion
