his party-friends by his appointments
of democrats to southern offices, argll-
ed thst his policy III this regard YVES
not prsjadIeial to the interests of the

enee Of this policy would promote CO.
a.it!en of the old Wing and various ele-
manta naturally opposed TO the demo-
cratic party In the south, aud eyenta-
ally secure six or eight southern states
for The republicans.
All the senators who were present at
the interview expressed themselves 10
the caucus As convinced that the pres-
ident was thoroughly sincere in this
belief. They aiso reported that the
president said he sas very DESTROYS to
be in haFmouy with the leaders of the
party, aud Wis gratifled TO have had
the opportunity OF asceftaining thus
definitely aud clearly the Views which
had been expressed Ia the cancus.
Advice and candid criticism would al-
ways be welcome to him.
In closing be said he hoped and be-
iieved that there would be less cause
for complaint ia the future and IN any
event, IL there should be differences OF
opinion, there need be nc occasion for
iiffeeling and he trusted there would
be none. After the report, Of which
the foregoing statement Is correct
though brief summary, had been made
TO the CAUCUS, free discussion issued
as TO the propriety AMI the probable
effect of the Presidents policy in ease
1t should be acquieseed Ia by the
senate

an almost unanimous opinion tha.

friends OF the adninistrasisa ex-
pressed counts whether it's par.
snanca would have the effect OF

action was taken by the caucus, and
none was proposed.
Nothing wss said about the New
York custom house opposa;smeesa,
nor was there Any discussion OF the
contested senatorial election cases

judicial in their nature, and therefore
Outside Of the control of caucus.
