TIE MONEY QUESTION MADE A SUBoRDINAIE ONE
BY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AT TIE POLLS THE
GREAT Evil.
Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, came to this
city 10 attend to law suit about n fortnight ago,
and after few days stay j0urneyed Oh to Block
Island to enjoy the pure air Of that isolated
island before returning home. The great storm
that has prevailed for several days past detained
him longer on the island than be intended, as the
side-wheel steamers that ply between the mainland
and the island have not dared to lace
the tempest. No steamers touched at the
Island either on FRIDAY, Saturday OF Sunday
last Finally, on Sunday afternoon Mr. Hendricks
became desperate said that he must be in this city
on the following day, aud proposed to some OF MS
fellow-prsoners who desired to escape from the
island that they should hire a steam yacht for the
purpose. The plan was approved, and by means Of
the Yacht Mr. Hendricks his wife, and about
twenty other persons gained Newport on Sunday
night There he took one of the Fall River steamers
bound for this city, aud arriving here yesterday
morning went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. 1t is not
known what important business brought Mr.
Hendricks 30 hurredly 20 this city.
II could not have been anything in relation 20
New-YOrl politics for Mr.. hendricks was SWIFT TO
saw nj the opening Of q short conversation with a
Tribune reporter last night that he knew hoIhiiig
about the movements OF Danocratic poiltclahs ~
Them lately. At the same time he made III clear
q at he had read the full particulars OF the recent
meeting of the Democratic state COMMITTEE at
Niagara Falls. ana that he was somewhat curious
obout tine actual power over the committee pos
sessed by Nh Tilden. He was asked to give MS
views regarding the Ohio election In reply nc
said
The Democrats Of Indiana have been interested
In elections III ONO ever since Alien ran Tor GoV-
cguor four years ago. We were greatly uIoap-
pointed when we heard OF his defeat. we were
confident of his election. In Indiana we nave Sc
cured steady Democratic majority, and we thlnK
the Democrats Of ONO ought to get themselves IN
the same position The majority either way now j.
very small HAYES only bad 5000 majority III 1870.
We think that Ewing viii carry the state; that he
has the best chance OF doing So mat Oh course Is
contrary the belief and the assertions OF the ne,
publican newspapers, but we think we have good
reasons Tor Our confidence" ,
But Mr. Henduchsn his visitor interrupted,
" do Won pay any regard to The threats Of the hard
money Democrats that they VIII not vote Tor such
suft-mOney candidate q, Ewing when You make up
yOur estimate rs To result I"
"Yes, do but the situation has changed latey
with these haId-mOney men. AZ hrSt the hard-
money Germans, cspecaly III CleNeIand' threat
encd 10 make trouble. But under the leadership
of such hard-moucy men as Payne HOadley aud
Rannay they have lately determined to vote Tor
Ewing. Iney mold THAI the money question, owing
to resumption, has become minor one, aud mat
other ana more important reforms ought 10 be con-
sidered by the people"
what othcr matters do they consider of more
importance than the money problem, Dir. Hen
The power Of the Administrator to OveraWe
voters by puttng soldiers at the polls and to mis-
count ballots By putting narshaIs IN charge OF the
balOt-bOXes' 80 ;.
"Ihe hard-mOuey Democrats will therefore us
cuss these two points because they think reSump-
ton has made all money questions subordinate T.
"Yes and the argument is made also That resumD-
ton or m other words the Bringing OF paper money
20 par with god and silver, was not brought
about BY the resumption law, but by the balance
of trade being IN favor for several years and our
being able therefore TO retain gold ana sYcrlh tus
country TIL We had sUlAclthJ 10 RESUME SPocc pay
menSt.'
"Will General Ewing receive the support Of any
outside political OrgaulzauOnsW
. Yes tae Nationals who made the most COM
plants against the Resumption law, will support
General living largely, / think. Altogether the
outlook IN OHIO is very cheering, and We are al con
