fer TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE
BosroN, Aug. 26.-Judgng by the enthusiasm
with which the Young Republicans opened their
campaign in Worcester to-day, their power will be
felt in the State this Fall to as great extent as
in the city election last year. The conference to-
day was attended by seventy-fve gentlemen from
all parts of the State who opposed to the machine
in politics and their discussion Of the living issues
of the day was vigorous and free. Their doctrine,
"a foreshadowed in the address of Mr.. Thompson,
Of Boston the chairman, is that the issues dividing
the parties during and after the war no longer exist
the questions Of the present being only those relating
IN the currency and Civil Service reform. Party
allegiance should depend en- principle, and not on
fealty TO persons Every voter should be poll
tician and offce-hoders should be the servants OF
the people, and not Of the party.
The conference had an aversion to "cut and
driedD business and no resolutions were reported
but q committee was appointed to prepare an adj
dress to young men representing the neces-
sity of earnest political thought and
action. The sentiment of the meeting was
strongly in favor of President Hayes, and it is
probable that the address will contain an indorse-
ment Of his Administration.
General Garfield will be invited to do some
speaking in the State, in opposition to General But
Ter The object of this movement of young Republic
cans to up their friends and neighb0rs to take
an interest in political questions, TO work for the
selection of men who are sound on the financial
onestious and other issues deemed by them to be
vital To influence the conventions to choose honest
men as candidates, and TO work for the election OF
such mon. TO do thus work, General committee Oh
two IN each Congressional district was appointed.
This committee will act in harmony with the reg
ula party committees.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-The report to which Inc
Washington Post gave currency this morning, and
which was telegraphed to New-York in the general
press dispatches that Senator Spencer had become
reconciled to the Administration during his recent
visit to this city, sand that the President had made
some appointments on his recommendation, is posi-
lively denied, both in Administration quarters and
by the friends of the Senator himself No overtures

Alabama was the one recognized by the last
Republican National Convention at Cincinnati In
1876 and admitted to seats, and the recommends
tons of the men controlling that organization have
been generally followed by the President since his
Inauguration. Senator Spencer thinks that he, as
the sole Republican Senator from the State, ought
to have a voice in regard to appointments in Ala
