be acquainted with the state OF affairs there Iowa
! men in both parties in South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida deprecate the slightest approach to yo-
! encc but it asserted by some that the we'll
known tendency to lawlessncss and disorder the
part Of Southern Democrats uses the fear tia,
desperate measures may be taken defeat the results
OF the honest vote.
William Z. Dodge said yesterday that in his opinion
the excitement into which the peopeo this city had
worked themselves at the idea OF possible trouble was
very much to be dcpored the business Of the country
was already sufficiently depressed without this additional
bugbear to stin further unsettle people; we mad
taiuly had enough OF and excitement the country
needed peace above all things From what Mr.. Dodge
knew Of affairs at the South he had no preheusOns u
serious trouble; he prepared TO accept the situation
with perfect SERENITY and good will in the Repubi
cans or Democrats successful Firstly and lastly"
said Mr. Dodge in conclusion, " we want peace"
Ex-Gov Morgan was found busily making up for tie
time lost I'm the political arena but he willingly gave
few minutes to conversation. He said: THE TRIBUNE
Is Of my opinion exactly when it believes In acqucscug
quietly and pleasantly the results OF the election
whatever they If Mr. Tldenis elected shall hopeiO
an and efficient Administrations do not like The
disposition toward dsafection shown in some quarters
Even ii Tlden should should win by the smallest major
ity II would certainly be conclusive and should be ac
ceped IN all good will. Concerning my Owl personal
canvass, 1 did not expect much, and am not dsap
pointed for my own par, Would rather hot ne '"N
eInor Some Of the counties. especially Eric, Kings. and
one or two Others did not fulfill nay expectations.
stephen r. Nash regretted that Of such n char
actcr lad become so broadcast before any actual Lets
were known on which people could ground their apprc
tensions Mr. Nash thought it would be months before
any serious breach would be made and, in HIS orinon
il was extremely improbable that conflict would ever
arise The papers which published inhlmmatory matter
were to be held accountable for great deal Of groun
less anxiety and had acted very unwlsely.
"Idont believe onequarter Of the stories hear
about trouble in the South" said Royal Phelps but
is very unfortunate that papers should talk they
do We as bankers would be the first to fear any disturb
alce and wish to have absolutely accurate information;
$50. must know what to do with money! far as We
know there Is no for present alarm. We must LOpo
ior quiet"
Levi p Morton felt apprchenslons on the score u
.'.aru trouble. "When the Democrats We're Ppos,l
h 1--we carried he election prominent Republicans were
disposed md ready TO abide by the result with all wiling
ness. Now that IL seems the Republicans have the day
Tine Democrats should 90 the same. Personally, think
c eAci emcut groundless and the Efforts made 10 foster
livery iniuiicious.'
Among other lawyers, bankers, and merchants with
whom THE TRIBUNE reporter c0nversed on tie question
Of possible trouble the course Of THE TRIBUNE in dis
couutcnancing all wild talk and alarming wmors was
torou.ll. approved. Tie letters OF Gov Chamberlain
on the south Carolina disorders frequently spoken
of "a, lust and to the point. " II we have trouble" said
prominent .yyer 1T cannot possibly amount 20 much;
we have 1hu in the executive chair who Is well accu5
toned 10 dealing with such trouble and prompt action,
asIu sending troops 10 Carolina will prevent boOtslcd
u Louisiana as 1t did there"
