TOPICS OF THE MOMENT.
Senator Mcdonald, Of Indiana, on the Bay
ard Trouble and Presidential Prospects.
Senator Joseph E. Med Donald, who has re-
turned home from Washington, has been in
terviewed by a reporter of the indianapolis
j 0qlqn0l. The Senator was asked:
"Do you think it likely, Senator, that any
further effort will be made to induce Senator
Bayard to retain the craftsmanship of the
committee on fnance?''
''Ithink not My expectation is that Mr..
Bayard will retire from his position upon
that committee when Congress reassembles
at the regular session. Such course is
sometimes adopted. The Senate committees
are reorganized at the commencement of
every session, although generally no changes
are made in the chairmanships, except such
as are Rendered necessary to fill vacancies
caused by extraordinary circumstances. o.
casionally Senators will exchange commit
tees to suit their own personal convenience
Gin this case Senator Bayard will retire
because he no longer possesses the conf
dence of his Democratic associates"
81 do not think he so regards it. He con-
siders himself bi-metalic man, but does
not sympathize with the free-coinage views
held by the majority of that committee and
most of the Democrats in the Senate. Some
dissatisfaction arose over the belief that his
personal influence prevented the Warner
bill from being reported so as to become
law during the extra session. Undoubtedly
he was opposed to the Warner bill in the
shape in which it came from the House, and
did all he could 10 prevent it being reported
to the Senate, and was DESTROYS that it should
be postponed until the regular session. His
views upon that matter were not IN harmony
with the wishes of majority of the party"
'And the same may be said as to his views
upon the whole question of finance, may it
not?"
81 suppose that is the case''~ .
"Has Mr.. Bayard, to your knowledge, in
timated that he will retire from the chair
LIdAoAlp VI Gu0 uuduC0 COlULultteo!
''He has said that whenever he found him
self not in harmony with his colleagues as
to any desired legislation, he would not any
longer stand in the way of the wishes of the
majority, and it is my understanding he has
said he will retire.
"Will not his resignation of such position
be great injury to his Presidential aspira-
tions?"
81 do not know that the matter has been
looked at in that light, and am not pre-
pared to say what influences it might have
upon his chances as Presidential candidate -
"What are your views as to the relative
strength of the Presidential candidates on
both sides?''
Il still hold the opinion that I expressed
some months ago, that Grant has the most
strength in the Republican party, with
Sherman and Blaine next in the order
named.''
"And as to the Democratic candidates?"
81 believe Mr.. Hendricks is to-day the
strongest and has the best chance of re-
celvlng the nomination.. He is regarded
with greater favor in the South than anyone
else who has been named
"Tell me what States will, in your opin-
ion, cast their votes for Hendricks in the
convention?''
"Well, there is kentucky, Missouri, ILL
nois-''
''Will not Gen. Palmer have the vote of
1llinois?''
81 think not. Mr.. Hendricks stands bet
Ter chance Of getting it than Gen. Palmer.
IT there was any general movement to nomi-
nate man from outside of the Democratic
party for President, Illinois might cast her
vote for Senator David Davis.''

Sand as to the other States expected to
support MIR. Hendricks, in addition to Ken

on, and Texas. have good foundation for
believing that he is strong in Louisiana and
Alabama, and especially so in Georgia.
Then there is Virginia"
"Both the Virginias p
"No. West Virginia will favor Thur man,
but old Virginia will be for Hendricks and
North Carolina. I don't know about South
Carolina, but Florida will be in his favor.
Almost the en- ire South are heartily in
favor of silver coinage, and MIR. Hendricks
suits them upon that question, and all 9TH
ers. He has been all the time increasing
his strength in the South, while Mr.. Tilden
has been losing ground.''
"Will not Bayard have some strength in
the South?''
81 have always regarded Mr.. Bayard as
the weakest of all the Presidential candi-
dates. Personally he is popular in the
South, but politically he has very little
strength, although Lamar, Hill, and few
other influential men are his friends
evil he have the vote of any Eastern
State in addition to his own?''
every likely Vermont and Rhode Island
may be counted for him, but all the other
Eastern States will be for Tilden. There is
no doubt as to the fact that Tilden is MAX
ing great efforts to obtain denomination,
but do not think he can get the requisite
votes from the South unless it appears that
he is an absolute necessity to success
The California Democrats.
SAN Francisco, July S.-On reaszembling
the Democratic convention this evening
resolution was Offer ed that with the exception
Of the Governor and judiciary candidates of
any other State convention be Endorsed.
This created long and heated discussion
during which the fact developed that the
delegates from San Francisco and Sacremen-
to had been holding conference with the
managers of the Honorable Bilks" with a
view of procuring the endorsement of the H.
B. ticket, on which are many Republicans. It
was strongly urged by the friends of fusion
that on account of the assertions from the
Democratic ranks the only possible chance
for success lay in coalition. The opponents de-
nounced the proposed endorsement as an
attempt to sell out the party to the "H. Bs.'
