the usual Republican majority. The
reports state that sthe Liberal vote !,
for Hayes and Wheeler to a man."
Hon. Elihu Fnos, of Waukesha
who was on his way home from meet.
ing of the National Republican Exc.
cutlve Committee, was interviewed BY
1ratune reporter. He is jub,lant
over the prospects and felt very much
gratlted over the result of the recent
meeting, and at the feeling of the mem
oers. He said there was no, single
indication of dependency, but, on the
contrary, everybody was unusually
hopeful.
How about Indiana?" said the re-.
porterl
Indiana is all right. Harrison is
a good man, and we will have no
trouble ln carrying the state. The
oest feature about the change is that
Orth withdrew on his own motion and
there is perfect good feeling ca his
part Our voters 10 Indiana are very
hopeful. Will Cumback was at the
meeting OF the National Cammittee
and spoke most encourag ngly aud en-
thuslastlcally of our prospects in In
diana. A vast amount of work ,s be.
'ng done there. Our friends in Nev
Jersey will carry that State"
Nv hat is the prospect in Conrecti-
cut! "She is the only Eastern State
that we fear We are going to lose. Our
friends in New York are very san
guine."
"Will not the Republican nomin.-
tlon for Governor Influence the Pres;;-
dental election to some extent in Ne~
York;"
Yes, it will affect the final result
more or less. but Mr.. Cornell. who h.,
oeen mentioned As candidate for Gov
erner, says We will carry the State II
October and November, no matter Who
Is nominated for Governor. Ga
Who do you think the NOMINEES
will be?"
That Is very hard question to an
swer. Mr.. Cornell is not disposed ts
press bis claim, but says he will not
stand back if he is nominated. Ex.
Gov. Morgan is another strong man.

why has Bristow been sent into
Vermont"
There is desire on the part of thu
Democracy to diminish the majority IN
that state. aud in others, but they
cant do 1t. They are trying hard 70
do this in those states which have Oc-
tober elections, in order that the hoped
for success there will have moral ef.
feet upon the November elections.
This is the secret of their designs in
Maine, Vermont, and one or two other
states. Bristow is, in Vermont. aad
is counteracting any influence the
Democrats may exert in this way.
Massachusetts, New Hampshire aud
Rhode Island are all right. Massa-
chusetts will give Hayes and Wheeler
10000 majority, The Democrats have
made all the capital they can make in
Massachusetts. They won't elect =
single member Of Congress this time"
"How do the Democrats feel in New
York;"
talk pretty loud, and pretend
to be very sanguine of success, but
nine tenths of all the Liberal Repub-
licans are back with US in New York
The Democrats who were so bitterly
opposed to Tilden's nomination do not
all of them accept the situation. The
recent detection of Littlejohn shows
the general feeling which exists among
them"
"How does Wheeler stand in New
York;"
"He is very strong with the people.
I should astonisb you if I told you all
| heard about the majorities they will
roll up for him. In fact, the people
are very enthusiastic and naturally a
little extravagant. I was at Glovers-
vile, my native town, a few days.
-Four years ago it contained 250to 800
Liberal Republicans. To-day they
are all with US, with the exception of
about eighteen or twenty. In fact,
everything looks far more encourag-
ing even at this early stage of the
campaign, than it did four years ago."
'sWhat is thought Of Tilden's letter
in the East?" .stH
"The Republicans consider it very
weak, and say that it is so long that
not more than one Of four Democrats
will ever read it," a
