ever. because OF the defeat itself. but be-
cause it showed him how tricky politi-
clans could be. lie does not complain
much. but in speaking with his intimate
friends he says that il he should publish
the private correspondence and
conversations with prominent men
who have been lavish in their protesta-
tons that he (Bristow) was next TO
God, and that they could not support
anyone else, and then tell how they did
act chapter of American history would
be made. which would startle great
many persons. Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, was one OF the most prominent of
these friends.
wHEELER'S RECORD.
Wheeler's record which will now be
reviewed is. so far as your correspondent
has been able to learn, one which will,
when all told, be particularly offensive in
the West. His fight of two years when
chairman OF the commerce committee
against the Louisville canal, will do
much to Offset the prestige the ticket will
get in Ohio on account Of Hayes. 1t was
for this opposition that Holman in the
house gave him such scoring that he
has not forgotten it yet. lie was chair
man of the Pacific railroad committee
also during the time when so many jobs
in land grants were put through con-
gress.

have been actively canvassing among
themselves as to the best nomination to
be made at st. LOUIS. Among the
Southern members there Is almost an en-
tire unanimity in favor of Gen. Hancock.
Most of the New Yew York City men,
5ers are opposed to Tilden. while those
from the interior of the State favor his
nomination, as do the New England men.
