AN intelligent correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, writ
ing from Columbus, Ohio, says :
"Taking the case as it stands, it is
plain that the Democracy, with the
direct and substantial backing Of
Governor Tilden, will canvass Ohio

theory that it is a doubtful State
and hopefully Democratic"

Mr.. HENDRICKS, on his return
from Saratoga, where he had a con-
ference with Mr.. Tilden, was inter
viewed by a reporter Of the Indian
apolis News. He denied emphati.
cally that there were any serious
differences between himself and
Mr.. Tilden. He said: "0f course
we differed on some immaterial
points, but on the real issue of the
campaign we were united. 1t
would, indeed, be a strange coinci-
dent to find any two men in the
country whose opinions on national
questions were in exact harmony"

dashed again. Tilden and Hen
bricks are virtually in the field.
