NEW YORK, Sept. 22d.--A special
dispatch from Toledo TO the Tribune
gives the result of an interview with
Gov. Allen, who arrived yesterday, on
the financial question. He felt assured
of his election by $4,000 to $4,000 ma
jority. The other parties had dropped
Grant and his administration, and
they were not in the fight except as
far as the people desire change in
the government. The Cairo financial
platform he believed would become
the platform of the National conven-
ton, and the nominee for next Presi-
dent would be Western man. He
felt confident that the Democratic vo-
ters would sustain imitation principles.
