tho CITY Club No. 10 West Thirty fourth-st.

Of certain members Of the Republican County
Conventions committee in the conference.
Everett p Wheeler shortly before midnight
reluctantly admitted that the conferrees could
not get together" and said IT was doubtful
about anything being done last night.
As matter Of fact. the gentlemen when they
met found that some OF the conferrees had the
same notion Of a conference that General Grant
held at Vickshurg With them It was uncond
tional surrender. and while they were willing to
give way on minor matters some Of them would
not listen 10 the proposed support Of Justice
Barrett by regular Republicans while on the
other hand the friends Of Justice Barrett said
IT was rather strange that after all the talk
of desire for harmony and united action the
opponents Of Justice Barrett could not waive
partisan feeling That was the situation on
Thursday night. and it was the same thing
