BUFFALO, Oct %, 1875
An intelligent and observing gentleman, New
Yorker just arrived here iron tour through several
Western States, interviewed by tho HERALD cor
respondent to-day, and much interesting Information
elected In relation to the political situation in the
rous localities he has visited twill be that his
account is rather rosy the side OF the democrats
INTERVIEW.
Q. Please state what States you have just visited.
A. Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indians, Illinois and
Missouri.
0. What do you find to be the situation in ohio9
A. Ny opinion is that Ohio will show increased
democratic vote the Presidency, but whether tha.
increase will be sufficient carry the State
be determined. In Ohio Is believed that the entire
imitation VOTE instead Of being cast Tor Peter Cooper,
will he cast for Tidcn, through the recon-
mcndntion OF Governor Allen: the vote for
Cooper being OILY nominal while At the Same time
large party or hard money democrats in tho State who
voted against Bell account OF tho imitation platform
will vote for Tiden to man. l do not believe that
the miners will bo cast for Hayes, matter
what the leaders OF their secret societies may say
do. Hayes sent troops among them TO shoot them
down when on a STRIKE and however justilablo and
proper that act the OF minors do not for
get It You remember how 1t with own Gov
ernor Hoffman when he ordered the military to lrc
tho mob during the July riots. The action was un-
quesonaby right and proper. and yet the democrats
did not dare to put up Hoffman, popular he was
otherwise for any public Office. He has remained IN
obscurty ever Stree; and believe the Ohio minors
wish to do the same thing with Governor Hayes. II is
all wrong, everybody knows; but tins fact cannot be
blinkcd out OF sight nevertheless So you form
your own estimate about how tho State Will GO In
November The democrats hopeful, but II Is like
hoping against hope.
MICHIGAN.
O. What about Michigan
A. In Michigan there is largo party Of republicans,
the same party who reduced tho republican majority
las. year from 90 900 to ooo who opposed aud
leated the recollection OF Zachariah Chandler to the
United states Senate. who will now vote sodly Tor
Tiden and webbc, the democratic candidate Tor Gov
crnor, who Is very popular man IN the state. The
democratic party in Michigan has admirable
State political organization presided over by Don s.
ana display IN Detroit on Thursday evening
last were ono OF the largest and nest that have seen
during the whole course of my travels. The demo-
Gratis very sangune Of carrying the State. II
certain that If they DO not the republicans VIII have
very small majority in this, ono OF their own strong
holds.
WISCONSIN.
q. What about Wisconsin,
A. Wisconsin,, l think, may be considered . very
doubtful state, with chances in favor OF tho democracy
The German vote will be cast almost sod In favor OF
Tds3. Furthermore. large number OF republicans
who dislike the prominence OF Matt Carpenter In tho
party, and who opposed to tho OF the ad-
nnistraton and the republican party IN regard to
Southern affairs, especially IN Louisiana and South
Carolina, have pronounced In favor Of change, or
they term H. "changc OF base 10 soc how IL Will
work." II is the opinion OF prominent democrats and
-parssans that Tiden viii carry the State by 5000
majority Last year Wisconsin eavc small majority
s4l) Tor the republican candidate tor Governor,
Ludington. You may certainly sct 1t down doubt
ful state, al any rate
O. How do things stand III lndiana2
A. IL is certain 10 so democratic by greater majority
than 1t the last election Hendricks popular
than Blue Jeans Williams, beng supported by the re-
fined we'll rs tho unrcnncd classes You may set
down Indiana sure ior Iildcn and Hendricks by from
200 to 10000
O. About ilIinoiss
A. There Is large class of republicans in Illinois
who dsqusted With the administration Tor PARTON
ing those whskcy men at Chicago. Moreover, they do
not hesitate 10 express their bcei that republican
candidate Tor Governor, Mr.. Cuum has III some way
been connected with the whiskcy men In Pelin. Ho
has formally charged with tins IN the canvass,
and neither he nor his friends have attempted 10
fute II. ON the other hand the democratic
candidate for Governor Lewis stewart is OF the Blue
Jeans Williams type very popular among the farmers,
beng leading granger, and IL strong candidate any
way. urhermorc, considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the Illinois republicans In regard the long
continued domination OF General Logan. Many are
cast on his yoke. This class Will succeed in sending
some to the Legislature, who will 20 tor n new
deal In the United States Senator from the State In
the face OF 56 900 majority for Grant lS1a you
think strange for any ono to predict that Il win
go demo cratic this year, aud yet have found intc
gent democrats VINO are sanguine enough ain rm this
to be their belief.
O. And in regard TO Missouri
A. Missouri ~ democratic all over IRON the bottom
Of The Mississippi River to the top OF Pilot Knob You
may rely Missouri giving the largest majority she
gave for democratic candidate for tho Ires-
dency She will pile 20 COO 30 900 majority sho
gavo for Greeley IN 1872
REsrMR
q Now, taking look back the whole 1eld you
have cnnvasscd, what do You lndf
A. mud strong and determined popular current In
favor OF a change of the national Tho
people say they cannot be on by change and
change they demand II Is not that the y iku Tdcn
much hut q change more They desire an honest nd
minrsraon oil tLe government, and do THU nix they
viii oblain II at the hands Of Mr. Hayes, whom they
regard true, good honest, but rather weak man.
They believe that, II he should be elected, the same
class people who have been running the govern
mcnt for tho paff sixteen years Will continue to
manage u, directly or indirectly, and ~ corruption
should 10 wiped out IN one shape Will come forth

the taken by most OF the people hpvo converscd

supremacy OF tho democratic party Tor tho noxt iour
