The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-07-04


publishes what purports to be an interview
between Governor Tilden and one OF its cor
RESPONDENTS. The following is an extract,
but contains the most important points
touched upon:
"Wir you be able to carry lndlana?"
~ certainly think we WILL
Are Won acquainted with Mr. Hen
bricks :"
.Oh. yes, passably well. / regard him as
a very able, upright, estimablc gentleman
"Happv in the association" remarked.
is there another western State the Demo
Gratis can carry" -.
Eyes. PM inclined to hope that VIC will
carry Micligan-probably Wisconsin, too
9. South Carolina and Louisiana OF the
southern States will probably go the other
way. The rest your party claim, l be-
Iieve."
.:Louisiana is ours South Carolina may
lie doubtful, but the rule OF miSmanagemcnt
and corruption is not so strong there as it
was quite recently. Of the western States
YOU mention my advices from these indicate
we can carry two, il not three. There seems
TO be an effort to create an impression that
T have agents in every little school district
in the State, and hundreds scattered
throughout the country. such is not the
case. Friends whom / have and may never
| see have kindly written me, and l should
be ungratcful if not thankful for the interest
they manifest
twill your party cut much into the Re-
publican vote?'
Il think we will. The gentleman who
Just left the room-you noticed him-is an
original Republican, an active, influential
man, never an otfcc-holder. He is with us
heartily. They call, and hear from them
every day.
"Iour friends III the city attribute your
| nomination, as much as anything else, to
Mr.. Kely'S unskilful war upon you. 1t
looks so, and the impression, see by the
| papers, is becoming more general
with it. Mr.. Kelly waged bitter war at
st. Louis. lie is a good fighter, and
81 see he acquicsccs, however"
"Well, that's good Democracy. He quar-
relied with me (and with Senator Herman
and Governor Seymour, believe, too,) be-
cause would not interfere in the local fight
in the city last fall which proved so diSas-
trous to Tammany Hall 1t was none of
nv business, either as Il member Of the De-
mocratic party or as an offcial-certainly
not as the latter. AS 4 Democrat regretted
the existence OF two factions within the
partv but who shall assert that both were
not equally Democrats? 1t would have
been unbecoming and undignifed in me to
have interfered, and it would have been OF
little use, maybe, too
II understand from pretty reliable
source that Mr.. Ottcndorfer, the Kaiser OF
the German Democracy, will insist on Il
change of the name Of Tammany Hall, as
we'll rs its organization. Some other name,
according to him, should be adopted"
swell, that's not my business. 1t might
be better. Indeed, believe counscllcd it
after the odium Tweed and those other ras-
Gals brought upon it.
"Thcrc are some rumorS that Mr.. kelly's
brain is ailectcd-a similar attack to that
which forced him few years ago to visit
Europe
"Oh, don't think So Certainly hope
there is no truth in it. never understood
that he was mentally impaired when he went
| to Europe. It's not likely"
a campaign club, named after you, fired
one hundred guns in your honor night be-
fore last in Madison Park. l see Demo-
cratic evening paper claims to have done 1t.
4 little crow must be caten."
81 didn't hear that" said the Governor,
with merry twinkle in his eye. 81 haven't
had time to read the newspapers much re-
cently-that is, all the campaign news and
opinions"
al think shall try to have printed some
OF your sumptuary law opinions and few
OF your remarks"
ooh, no." said the Governor hastily, and
retreuting few feet, his face assuming an
expression OF comic perplexit.r, " can't
be interviewed" >.
"Not in the strict sense of the Governor"
but rs he admits not reading the papers Just
mt this time, what's the odds as long as the
Democracy is happy.
The Governor cordially invited Us to call
again, and we retired.
