INTERVIEW WITH W. PIEKNEY wHYTE.
. At the first moment when the nomination of
Horace Greeley was announced here there was
quite feeling against him; bnt its extent and
duration can be better described by relating
an Interview with the present efficient Cover
nor of the Slate, William Plnkney Whyte, who
Is. perhaps, the best representative Of the De-
mocratic party In ths State. called at his
office for the purpose of an Interview, and
found him, as usual, deep 10 the duties OF his
Office He invited Me TO seat, which took,
and, after the usual salutations, began the con.
ver:aLion upon political subjects.
Governor" said !, "you. are against Gree.
ley, hear ~
"On, no." said he, "that ia not true. am
In favor of Mr.. Greeley, as believe nearly
every Democrat In the State ls. When he was
first nominated there was little hesitancy on
the part of many OF our people here, because
they did not know how the party generally
were going to take The nomination. In fact,
it took us all by surprise; but when 1t became
apparent that he was acceptable to the party
there was no holding back, and do not be.
lIeve there is Democrat in the State but that
will give him hearty support. The Platform
of the Cincinnati Convention could not have
suited me better, and the only question In my
mind" said ne, was ''whether hr. Greeley pos
sessed the elements Of strength necessary to
make successful run with our party upon
that platform"
Il suppose" said I, "that you have been as.
sured upon that polnt?"
"Yes, slr.n he replied, "most satisfactorily
assured. While my personal preferences might
have been for another candidate, there is no
doubt bnt that Mr.. Greeley is the strongest
man that could have been nominated. Here
In Maryland We are unit for him.
'The whole South appears to be In the same
condition." remarked. "Can you account
for their attachment to Mr.. Greeley ?"
'sMr Greeley" said he, "ls honest, and the
people know It, and believe in his honesty,
and while they of the South feel the effects OF
his hard efforts against slavery, they firmly
believe that now hs is the representative OF
their advanced principles and ideas. and that
he will make the same hard, honest efforts ID
their behalf as he did against tnem."
