An informal, interlocutory meet

retary Sherman on Friday evening
last, for the purpose of talking over
matters of concern to the party.
This conference was desired by the
Secretary, with some of those

curately posted with regard to the
position of his exeellency, towards

were known to be friendly.

The case OF Naval officer Cornell will very likely be
adjusted this week without the necessity OF any
mary action on the part OF the President and through
the quiet acceptance by Mr. Cornell Of the alternative
presented him. There is u strong republican pressure
upon Mr.. Cornell not to do anything to injure the
chances Of tho party at the State election, when
publican defeat would result in handing over the
State to the democrats for probably many
years, owing to the opportunity for redistrict.
