End Hotel register yesterday morning. and tho entry
read over by a hundred eyes, occasioncd at once
Wis 80 excitement among the guests slave you seen
Secretary Chandler 20 was the inquiry every SIDE
while the more rrevercnt loungers the pazzas
varied the question with "Old Zachs here Have you
come across him yc.?'' About the Secretary,
accompanied by Senator Dorsey, OF Arkansas; Don
Cameron, the Secretary OF War, and Mr. Dreyel, was
discovered saunterng leisurely across the lawn and
making his way to the Gill; to join the crowd engaged
IN watching the ba,hcrs who just then sporting
in tho breakers The Secretary looked well shade
thinner ana a shade raer than before his retirement
from tho Senate, but much improved In appearance
from the change. No person could look at him,
with his upright, muscular form, his clear, bright
eve, and his elastic STEP without being
pressed with idea tina, he has the capacity and the
intention to do vigorous and elective work in the
campaign OF which he is the principal manager, and
that II will not DO through any lack OF energy
firing labor tho part OF the committee which he
presdcs II Hayes should BIO defeated the approach

SHORT TALK WITH THE SECRETARY.
When the Secretary had sufficiently enjoyed the fan
and roc OF the bathcrs he returned to the hotel The
representative Of the HERALD met him aitcrward
on tho pazza seated with Senator Dorsey and Colonel
Drake Go Kay, and after exchanging greetings sug-
gested that the air invited confidence, it would
be appropriate occasion for short talk about The
progress and prospects of the campaign the benet
of the HERALp's readers
'.wcii' said tho Secretary, sthe sea air is
very inviting, and the opportunity to enlighten
the readers OF the HERALD IL very tempting
But do you think there is much worth
talking about just now? Don't you think that gen.
eral who would give publicity through widely crcu
lated journal the HERALD to the progress OF his
operations and the plan Of his cag,pagn would DO
very unlikely person to lead his army to v!coryS"
Colonel Drake dc Kay remarked that ii would be dan
gerous for so inexperienced politician Secretary
Chandler to put himself into communication with
member of the press, nasmuch In his innocence he
might let GU; matters which ought to DO kept secret
To the Secretary readily assented, but the
sation proceeded nevertheless Tho HERALD reprcsen-
tative suggested would probably be no OBJ
lection on tho part OF the Secretary say whether
there IS any foundation for the statement recently
in the New York Times to the effect that the National
Republican Committee has been somewhat dilatory and
inefficient in its work in Indiana
PROSPECT INDIANA
~ think not" replied Senator Chandler. 81 don't
think when the result of the Indiana election becomes
known there VIII be any fault found with the work
either of the Republican National Committee the
fetal, as they apt TO the Indifferent and
make all men more active in the campaign People
NAV not advertise the nature OF their work. but may
40 u great deal OF work nevertheless"
$40 you think then. that the republican prospects
look fair In Indanaf"
II am sure they do Tho democrats will of course
do great deal OF hard work in the state hot am
quite SIZED that shall eject the republican ticket
regard the State as perfectly sale The people Of
Indiana don't want political dish that IS neither
fish, flesh, nor fowl, and the democrats
struggle they may make. Still, every republican
mnst 10 his full duy in the State. 1t Will
for anybody to b. overconhdent careless When
the counted do not believe there will be
found any evidence OF neglect or indifference tho
part of any republican body or individual"
"And about Ohio That State, OF course, you regard
certain for Hayes"
60. IL is only question Of majority. 1t may be
so, 600 and 1t may be more Just as good work will be
done, however rs would be done II the State
doubtful and every voter will be brought When
you whip man il is just as well to do 1t thoroughy
then, you know, he is apt to keep more quiet alter
GOVERNOR NoReAx's NOMINATION.
sDo you regard the nomin atoms made last week at
Saratoga as strong onesy'
.The ticket has all the elements of strength Every
body in New York state knows Governor Morgan aud
knows what he is made OF. He is new and untrIed
do not think there Il any more doubt about
his carrying New York than there is about Hayes
rying Ohio. The nomination has demorailzcd the
democrats OF New York, who, however, were sum
cently dcmoralizcd before.
FALSE HOPES AT
''The democratic party has professedly hoped to
carry nearly all the Southern States. Do you think
tn re Is ground Tor such an expectation"
VEIL the democrats might manage TO carry nearly
all the Southern States IL ,hey would do one OF two
tuinss-st they could XII OF all the coored voters
before the day OF election arrives or, next II they
could utimidate them by threats OF vengeance TO
force them vote the democratic ticket deter them
from gong 10 tho polls when The day does arrive. But
fortunately have republican form of government
with faithful ana firm ruler al the head of ii. aud as
the laws will be enforced and the people OF every
complexion Will be protected in their rights by the
strong arm OF the government the democratic hope Is
pretty certain to be DISAPPOINTED. Men whether
themselves chains their limbs ropes round their
Iccks."
s.You think, then, that the South looks welS"
There can DO reason 10 think otherwise Tho
South is now more strongly republican al heart than
ever IT was before Here and there tho old slave
holding power has grown bold. partly through not
having been intcrcred with and partly through the
cnurar. en-, Afforded bv rebel house OF Representa-
tivcs This shows Itself IN negro and ioca
political victories Tor the democracy won by fraud,
violence ana intimidation. But when assassins are
punlshcd tho laws enforced and the rights OF tho
properly protected the result Of the elections
will show that the head and the hear, OF the South
both right"
apo you think that the charge of fraud in his
tax returns maic' against Governor rhdcn is wei
founded and Is likely To injure him?"
.lnc charge has not yet been met and IL Is based on
evidence furnished under oath by Governor iiGen
swearing TO net income of s. 600, and the other
hand his sworn statement in the railroad suit showing
tina, he received $4,000 in The same year from
that source alone | don't how the Governor
can get that return, which have seen and which
certainly does not show the receipts OF money
sworn the railroad case, othci-iems OF income
that year, VIII ch understand can be brought home TO
h,m don't how all this can be explained, and rs
good democratic authority as Nr. Otcndorier. OF New
Yory has declared that IL II cannot be explained Gov
ernor Tilden no, at to be President OF the United
states"
IL VIII be seen that despite Colonel De Kay's apprc
hcnsion Secretary Chandler managed To talk eencral
ties without disclosing any of The plans OF the rcpubli
can campaign. Whatever those plans may be- u IS
certain that they will be vigorously carried out by the
chairman Of the National Executive Committee, and
that no Will discover them from him before The
work Is consummatcd aud the effect felt.
