would declare himself unreservedly
for Greeley and Brown"
1t was in a caboose on the Louis
vile and New Albany Rail Road
which by the way is the rcughest
road in the United States-that anoth-
er Convention was began. The terri
bic wrenehing, jerking and jolting
seemed conclusive to colloquy. The
half dozen passengers talked, joked
and laughed with the utmost freedom.
If there was anything in a mon, that
shaking would surely bring it to the
surface. We flung aside all that
finical reserve and careful exclusive
ness which are affected on an Eastern
Railroad, and proceeded to accept the
situation with a rare good grace. A
man and his family came aboard at
one of the stations. His tongue was
loosened and thiekened by 4 little
"corn juice" which he had taken on.
A fellow passenger was looking at
Harper's Weekly. No little merri-
ment was aroused by our friend OF
"corn juice" notoriety, enquiring /:
"Who be (hic) longs to that paper, or
whose paper (hic) does that belong to?"
1 answered his questions; and then
he said, "Td like to (hic) git hold of
that paper. We (hic) don't often git
any papers down here" I soon fold
ed up the paper and gave it to him.
He smiled thankfully and went on
his way rejoicing. I felt like a mis-
sionary.

next claimed my attention. He
talked freely, fiuently and dintelligibly.
A few of the points which he made
are given below:
Quest. How are the parties balanced
in your State?
Ans. Their strength is very nearly
the same. Baker was elected over
Hendricks by only a few votes. 1
have always been a Democrat and
voted their ticket; but the party
made one great mistake. 1t did not
accept the war in the right spirit.
The knights of the Golden Circle de-
stroyed our large majority and put
the state government into the hands
of the Republicans.
Quest. How is Dan Worries liked ?
Ans. He is very popular in his own
district. But he does not WELD such
an influence in the State as Tom Hen
bricks does. Voorhes is quick, inn
pulsive, hot-headed in fact. If he
thinks anything he lets it right out
But Hendricks is cool, deliberate and
discreet. These interviewers have
been sounding him on the Greeley
question but he is too sharp to say
much. He won't commit himself
Quest. What do yoE think of Nor
ten?
Ans. He is very strong aud ihfiu-
entail man.
Quest. Do you think your State
Convention will accept the nominees
o I the Cincinnati Convention?
Ans. 1 do. Several of our leaders
have declared in favor of this course.
will carry the State if the
Democrats make no nomination. He |
is an upright, honest and great man.
He has said many very hard and cut
ting things about our party. 1t de-
served some OF his castigations. But
by.gones are by-gones. The Demo-
cratic party can never be successful
so long as it keeps drumming up old
issues. We must take the new de-
parture If we refuse to vote for
