New YORK, January 3.-Vlce Presi-
dent Wheeler has been Interviewed. Mr..
Wheeler spurns and rebukes ell the re.
cent talk about a compromise, He
declares emphatically that there is moth

cannot and must not be the subj sct of
dicker Or barter between men of both
parties, and that the great issue Of the
day shall and mast oaly he settled by
the strict carrying cut of the letter and
spirit Of the constitution.
Mr.. Wheeler, by tho Herald interview
or, Is made to speak thus: ut is my
firm conviction that Congress can
never be constituted a national Canvass
ing or Returning Board. Congress can.
not 60 behind the returns beyond the
mere question of the regularity OF the
oerti6cate9. Understand me clearly, for
it is q point on which l 4euld not like
to be misuuderstood-she Congress
cannot investigate whether Louisiana
has glns for Tilden or for Hayes
The action Of the Returning Board on
this point has baen final and conclusive
10 Louisiana. L. is my honest belief
that if there had been a free and fair
vote, uuobsttuctsd by intimidation or
fraud, the Republicans would have car
sisd the State by al least 10, 900. Ia the
Eve BULLDOGS parishes the very registra
ton shows that these parishes belong to
the Republicans"
Nc. Wheeler reiterated that he would
0oorn to acceAs power by chicauery or
intrigue such as a 80 called compromise
would c ,sarily imply, and after heart
lily eulogizing Governor Hayes, Of asosc
successful administration he felt con.
WINGED, be closed the interview with these
words: II do not believe that this dis
