Morris has not been declared elected by the

is not complete. 1t is found in the case
that there has been DO declaration by the
General Assembly, that the relat0r had Deen

not yet lost by the General Assembly. The

SUBJECT OF A CONFERENCE.
Republican Leaders Worried Over an Alleged
namncrafic Snhame

PITTsBURG, Jan. 5.-A local paper this
afternoon prints what purportS to be the in-
side history of conference held Sunday be-
tween Senator Quay, w. W. Dudley and
other leading Republicans. The paper as
serts that these gentlemen have discovered
that the Democrats intend to Michigan
iZe " the State of New York-providing that
the Presidential electors shall be chosen by
the Legislature and not by the popular vote
of the people. Another feature of the al
legged scheme is that by this plan enormous
sums of money usually spent in the State
campaign for the election Of electors by
popular vote can be reserved for distrihu-
tion during the canvass in other doubtful
States. The paper asserts that Quay ana
Dudley consider the situation serious and
are worried.
