Interview with the Candidate for Vice

nominations are over, what do you think Of
the prospect"

doubt of the result OF the approaching cleo
ton than | have that the election.iay will
dawn. l nm sure that the ticket nominated
| yesterday will be elected"
| What do you think of the platform?"
"The platform is wholly satisfactory to
me, and do not see how any good citizen
| can object to it, whether he be in the North
or South, the East or West. There are fac
tons which may affect to dislike it. MANY
would have stronger free-tradc plank, and
many others, equally patriotic, would prefer
straight protection theory. All cannot be
satisfied. The aim should be to satisfy the
greatest number"
"Then, you think the elements of success
are with your"

with us, and am very sure that Mr.. Greeley
will carry the South entire, and | believe

| "Well, sir, the Stale that elected nc so
| handsomely as Governor against the efforts of
this Administration will, am vain enough
TO believe, double and even treble the ma
Jority for me for the vice-presidency. You

Goodbye Cincinnati Commercial.
Grants and Senator Summers Views.
| Correspondence New York Herald.
| WASHINGTON, May GA prominent Re-
| publican senator, and an earnest friend Of
General Grant had a conversation with the
| President to-day relative to the Cincinnati
| Convention and its nominations. The PrcSi-
| dent stated that rs the matter now stands he
| did not think the Cincinnati Convention
amounted to much. All depended upon the
action of the Democratic party. If they in
dorsed the nominees Of the Cincinnati Com
rention the contest would be at least. close.
He did not think, however, that the Demo-
| Gratis would take Greeley. He did not see
how they could, although the Convention
had lodged the tariff question in their plat
form. He had no idea that the Democrats
would do so. That was one OF their live issues.
and they were not prepared to surrender
| it. He had great faith that the regular
Democratic Convention would meet, that it
would nominate straight ticket, and that
| The Republicans who shouted for Greeley at
| Cincinnati would come back to the fold from
which they have strayed. This would, he
| thought, leave Greeley without any support
except 4 few personal followers. and the fight
| would be between the Republican and Demo-
aliic candidates. When ii was suggested to
| the President that perhaps the Democrats
would indorse Greeley's nomination, the
| President simply remarked that TINT would
pu. different phase upon the question. But
| he has no idea the Democrats will do so.
| Several parties have endeavored since the
meeting of the Cincinnati Convention to get
an expression of opinion from Senator Sum-
ner. He is not disposed, however, to talk
about it. He regrets that the Cincinnati Con-
yenlion did not make distinct plank in its
platform relative to civil rights. He under
stands this is to be done at Philadelphia.
Sumner has an idea that Grant will either de-
cline or be withdrawn ut Philadelphia, and
| that some man will be nominated whom he
can support. At all events he declines to
| make any deliver,nce until the Philadelphia
| Convention has met and adjourned. If
Grant is nominated at Philadelphia Sumner
will support Greeley, no matter what plat
form may be adopted. After the Philadel-
phia Convention meets SlnnnrrWll come out
either in 4 letter or Il speech defining his po-
Sition. In the mean time he is doing all lie
can i'll quiet way for Greeley.
What Senator TrulntuII Says.
| Senator Drumbull, according to the Wash
| incton correspondent Of the Philadelphia
| BUletin ADMINISTRATOR, after saying that
| he would support the Liberal ticket, added
his belief that Mr. Greeley would be popu-
| lar candidate and make Il successful canvass.
From conversation with leading Democrats
he believed that the Democratic Convention
| would endorse the Cincinnati ticket or split
the party. The southern Democrats are
united in favor Of Greeley, and they will in
sist upon the Convention endorsing the
nomination or break the party to pieces. MIR.
| Trumbul further said that Mr.. Greelcy's
nomination would force the Philadelphia
| Convention 10 nominate some person other
| than Grant, and that the coming presidential
canvass would be the most exciting ever
known in the history of the country: In
conclusion, Mr.. Trumbull said he hoped that
all Liberal Republicans would rally to the
support of Greeley and bury their personal
preferences.
The Washington correspondent OF tue
Philadelphia Inquirer telegraphed on the
| Tth instant:
"Senator Trumbull was waited upon to-
dav by delegation of Liberal Republicans
From Illinois, who desired to Use his name us
the Liberal candidate for Governor OF that
State, to which he assentcd. General OSlcs-
| bv viii probably be the regular Republican
candidate, and the Democrats say they Will
