If. tho dispatch says, they shall choose to act with Sprague, fcVnton and Schurz, who call tininseKs independent, but do not attend the republican cau-cusses, cau-cusses, they wiii be likely to be as-rh'ued as-rh'ued very diflerciit positions on the committees than they will he in case they clatsify . tiieuisv! ves as republicans repub-licans on tiie Philadelphia platform.
