INTERVIEW WITH GEO. c. GoEHAN
Correspondent-W do you think
Of the political situation now that ooth
narties have nominated candidates for
President?
Mr.. Gorham-I think the prospects
for Republican success are better no"
than they have been, Immediately
after a national convention, since lsof'

carry New York?
Mr.. Gorham-Ies, sir; overwheim-
iny.y. First, because the great com
nerciaI element which has no poiltics
and votes for s'satety," will support
Them. Not so much because they re-
uar,, them safer than Tilden and Hen
!
! as the candidates Of the safer party o!
! the two; and second. despite the pro
! fessions OF loyalty to Tilden by the
! Tammany leaders, they really desire
his defeat. his success would drown
them ont OF New York City politics,
and that 10 destruction. The patron
! age of that city being Of vastly more

rouage. They prefer continuance OF
their own local power assured 20 me

self would have received.
Cor.-What Northern States can be
reckoned on certain for IIlden!
MFR. Gorham-l do not candIdly Do
I;eve they can carry any Northern
State with their two-faced ticket. 1t
will be another Lincoln McCleilen
campaign. Hendricks purported
popularitv in Indiana will not effect
the hatred OF Indiana Democratic to the
New York notions OF finance embodied
in Tilden. All Western democrats
are sore over the nomination OF 9
New Yorker, and their apathy Will
never be entirely over come during
this ca,npaign. Besides they also
understand that Tilden is sham re-
former. He has been in too many
doubtful railroad transactions out
West to deceive those people, unless
they are willing to he deceived. The
people are generally sound on that
question. =.
Cor.-Wby were you so strong for
Mr.. Gorham-Because considers
him the ablest of all our leaders; and
because 1 thought his views on the
currency question would insure the
support of what / have termed the
