GENTLEMAN GEORGE

WA0t Mr.. Pendlet0n Thinks of the Late
session and the Campaign In Ohio.
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
NEW YORK, July 3.-Senator Pendleton,
who is at the New York hotel, was asked
now Democratic members viow the work of
the session. He answered:
1.-The Democratic Congressman have &C
compllshed very much which they desired,
but not everything. They would have been
glad to do away with the novel system of
federal supervision and the influence of
FEDERAL marshals at elections for members of
Congress; aid this veto power of the Presi-
Dent, acting in semi-leglslative way, as
added to the minority-of Congress, has pre-
vented, because the Democrats had not
two thirds majority in both houses. We
nave, however, accomplished enough to
make sharp the issues between the two par
ties. On the part of the Democrats the issue
forced IS that Americans shall continue to
have free elections and ballot-box not in
tertered with by electioneerers who are
bribed, as it were, out of the federal treas
ury, and shall have restored an impartial and
intelligent jury
Reporter: How stands the issue in Ohio?
Mr.. Pendleton: In Ohio we have the
strongest hopes of carrying the s ate All
that industry, effort and determination can
90 will be done. and think it will be sue
cessful. The Democratic party is thorough
~ united in all sections of the State. Our
candidates will command the votes of "a
very large majority, and probably of three
quarters of the Greenback party. The
prospect is very favorable; but We will poll
more than 100000 votes, and the margin
between the parties is small I think we
shall succeed The questions made prom.
inent by the extra session, that we have
already talked about, make Ohio the chief
battle ground in the campaign of 1880.
Reporter: The Republicans are raising
large sums of money in this city. Now.
how and where can they make use of these
sums
MI. Pendleton / do not know that the
Republicans are using or are about to use
large sums OF money but is very possible
Ior them to raise and to spend such sums.
Secretary Sherman is the chief friend and
particular hacker of Foster. Mr.. Sherman,
by reason of his financial position, can COM
mand and influence the largest possible
amount OF electloneering money. and he is a
politician too shrewd to lose so important q
factor IN elections as the bank power has
always been to his party. The
national banks generally-and nota-
bly one national bank, which see by the
newspapers has had $12O, 100000 on deposit
can contribute literally to advance the
wishes OF such a depositor as the hacker of
Foster for Governor. On the other hand,
the Democrats in Ohio have always carried
on their canvasses with very little money.
In fact, with so little that the real disburse-
ments for printing, conveyances and the
Ike would make the managers here in New
York and the other States SMILE We shall
spend no money, except as it is raised in and
for localities at this time, and must rely upon
the earnest convictions of our people to take
them to the polls and stick to popular
| right.
Reporter Will you take personal part
in the campaign
Mr. Pendleton I shall go to Ohio in q
| few days. After brief rest and attention to
my own private affairs will unite with all
the Democrats of Ohio in making as strong
campaign as we can on behalf of the
Democratic party. My voice and my
strength were never really more freely at the
service of my constituents. There never
has been time when the free voters of
Ohio could better utter protest against the
unwontedly oppressive doctrines of Presi-
dent who has so boldly proclaimed his in
difference to the old constitutional land
marks.
