Especial telegram to the Dispatch
WASHINGTON, June 17.-General Wick
ham, accompanied by several OF the Repub-
lican State Executive Comnittee and Con-
gressmen Jorgensen and Dezendorf, called
at the White House this afternoon to con-
suit with the President touching the pro-
posed coalition OF the Republicans and Re-
adjusters. Among the party were j. w.
Poindexter, o. II. Russell, A. A. Splitter,
j. B. Work, Benjamin Upton, William Ar
mold. p. +. Cullins, John Callahan, Louis
Bib, William Lester, and Messrs. Lloyd,
Tansel, Daniels. and Bennett.
Mr.. Dezendorf made the introductions to
the President. The conference was quite
extended, General Wickham and the two
congressman doing most OF the talking.
They represented that coalition would be
possible only in name, for there were MANY
Republicans whom nothing could induce TO
lend themselves even indirectly to an ALI
ance with advocates OF reputation in any
form. The delegation said that the fact
that Malone seems to have sunk the debt
issue did not in any respect better
his cause, but, on the contrary, should
make honest men distrust it, for it
was evident that he had put that issue
aside with the sole design Of enlistiDg Re.
publican support. This meant he cared
only for power, not principle. The old
story was retold at length Of how the Re-
publican strength last fall nearly equalled
| that polled by the Democrats, and fell but
little short Of trebling that OF the Readjust'
ers. General Wickham reiterated the opin'
ion expressed in his card the other day, that
but for outside meddling the Republican:
would have poled much heavier vote then
and with proper encouragement wouC
stand at least fair chance In the coming
election. There was nothing said about
Republican detection to the Democratic
ranks in case OF the coalition except by i'm
plicaton, and nothing directly about pat
ronage. The President, however, wa
given to understand that he could not draw
out the Republican strength for fusion
ticket, and that without such support thu
victory would inevitably be with the Demo
Gratis. Efforts were made to elicit from tll
President a direct opinion upon the sub
Iject, but without success. He said it wa
certainly desirable to wrest the State from
Democratic rule, and that any movement t.
that end would meet his approval and en-
couragement. That was about as far as b.
would go; but from the tone OF his remark
and his general demeanor the delegation
were led to believe that what they had sal,
had impressed him. They spoke to him o
Malone as political adyenturer, an,
thought he gave assents to that view.
Dir. Dezendorf says tonight that there /
now no doubt that straighout Republican
ticket will be nominated. The convention
Is to be held shortly after the Democrat
ticket shall have been put in the field. II
is also inclined TO the opinion that tn
President, while he may speak fayorably Q
the Readjuster movement because OF wha
he terms its Iberaizing features, will no
directly encourage coalition, but will ad
wise those who may consult him that tn
parties should be left to manage their affair
in their own way. This was the Pres
dents original opinion; since then he ha
yeered somewhat. To-day's delegation
however, feel well satisfied with the resu
of the conference.
