while here, fires shot at him about his engi-

| Whlch 1mperllled the republican party in the
south, and says: His compromises are fatal to
| all desirable reSultS,-neither advantageous to

Mr: Wheeler's last talk, before leaving here,
was that the half breeds must stand by Depew,
1or ne had carried the flag further into the enc

to the fruit, If any is obtained.

called a Senator, but in practical effect he

story about Vanderbllt's contributing to De-
pew's election. and proves that he did not.
-, A few OF the half leaders imagined
| that they saw how they could elect DepeW Yes
terday by Trick. They sent Senator Baker to
GOV. Cornell with pfofTerS, and then tried to
get another ballot, but were Cut-voted on the
| adjournment of the convention, and Bakers

! The storyls circulated to-day that the demo-

reel that they cannot afford to remain here all
