them all. 1t is tue corruption and rot
tenness of the party. 1t can not stag
ger along much longer under its infa-
mics. The Sanhorn contracts, t e
Credit 1robilier, the moity system, the
District Of Columbia jobs, and above
all the carpet-bag scroundelism in the
Southern States; all these ,arrayed
against the party will kill it.
CAUTION TO THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
Reporter-You think the Democratic
party has had victory ahead of them,
then, III the next campaign7 g.
+ Gen. G.-Almost certainly, unless
they make some terrible blunder. Eff,
by any .imprudence of speech or action,
the Southern people give the Reppbli-
fans a chance to fly the issues Of cor
ruption and misgoyernment, and the
differences on which the war was
fought, and which are still invincible
in the North, we will lose the fight.
The passions and prejudices of the
war arsdying out very rapidly in the
North, and, if nothing rash is done to
revive them, we can meet the Republic
cans on the paper issues and rout them,
horse, foot and Dragons One reason
that have for believing that the war
prejudices are dying ont in the North,
is that the House, which is the freshest
from the people, is much more conser.
vative'' and liberal than the Senate.
This is noticeable fact, and a very
significant one.
WHO ARE THE DEMOCRATIC AsPIRANTs.
r Reporter-The chances of the De-
mocracy being SO bright, there must
be in that party a number of candi-.
dates for tho coming nomination.
Who do you consider the coming man
in this raee7
= Gen G.-Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio,

candidate. His splendid campaign in
Ohio last year, carrying it for the De.
mocracy for the first time in many
years, gives him aspleudid start. You
see Ohio at one time polled $4,000 Radi

Thus you see Ohio offers three candi-
dates Next to Thurman ] should
place. Hendricks, u of lndjania, and
Hancock, Of Pennsylvania :stOf these
two I think Hendricks is probably the
strongest, from the fact that J the West

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL WILL PASS.
. Reporter-Do you think the civil
rights bill will pass the next session 2
Gen. G.--I am almost sure Of it.
You see it failed last session only be-
cause it needed a. two-thirds vote to
bring it,up. Next session it can be
taken upAin its regular order and car
ried BY a simple majority. 1t had
sixty.nine majority in the House on
its Issue last month. With the same
Congress to vote Oh it next session, /
think it will certainly pass. T. h.
Reporter-Will the President veto,
it? ea'of2 an1 "-
Gen. G.-His incliuations will GER
tainly lead him to do it. The party 7
pressure, though, will be very strong
in fayor;oi his signing it, and l fear
he will rot resist it. He is very self
willed though, and there is no saying
what he will do. believe if it could
be STAYED off until the next Congress
was elected it could be beaten, for |
am confident that in the next House
the majority will be reverted.
