conversation with him. On account of the
closing days of the Legislature, and his re.

and the interview had TO be indefinitely

ium, and, according to his statement the
governor nominated as his successor man
named Wade, with tine mistaken idea that
1t would further the chances of himself for
denomination. But he got only two of the
10 votes cast by the Cleveland delegation.
SAID the lieutenant: Bishop thought sure
ne would get renominated, and was badly
disappointed. He has been greatly over
rated.''
Il suppose you saw his interview on the
subject OF the Asylum appointment, pub

Yes. He sent word to the Office for some
one to come and interview him, and when
the reporter got there he had the interview
all written out ready for publication
''That so?"
That's what the reporter told me-"
How does his statements consist with the
facts in the case?''
'Weli, he made a great many misstate-
ments. The whole matter was bid for
votes in the convention. He telegraphed to
Cleveland that he had sent in Wade's name.

delegatlon, put 1t didn't. He got but two
votes out of 15."
Twill Wade he copfirmed2,,

the matter goes over while the vacancy will
continue"
How are you Ohio Democrats on the
question of candidate for the presidential
contest?'
'We are not decided on that; have not as
yet thought much about it. We are waiting
Tor the result of the State contest this year
to determine future action"
What about the Grant boom in this
State?"
'Oh, it don't amount to anything. There
never was anything in it''
u suppose you are sanguine of success in
the State?" -
st is hard to tell. The fight will be hot
and close; and some of the party will not
support living with much vigor. 1 was op
posed to his nomination MYSELF
I'm the event of the success of the Demo
cratic ticket of course Thurman will start
on the boom.''
Ewing and Thurman are very good
friends but they are both aspirants for the
same hign place, and there is no telling how
it would be adjusted"
is Ewing SO ambitious as that?"
Yes he aspires as high as anybody"
"How will Thurman's sudden conversion
in relation to the finances last year, effect
his prospects,"
1T will not do him any good. Evidently
he changed for Johnuy's sake because he

will Erwing's Greenbackism injure him
with the party?"
Not to any great extent the financial
question being practically settled. Thus he
will get large proportion of the National
vote''
Seeing that the lieutenant was not very
warm toward the prospective candidates for
the presidency from this State, inquired
how Hendricks was regarded by Ohio Dem
ocrats generally?
I'VE Ii e Hendricks very we'll over here.
l would much rather have seen him nomin-
ated at St. Louis than Tilden"
at this point, Senator Lord, of Cincinnati,
once so well known in connection with the
l., c. and L. railroad sit
ting near, interposed his views
concerning Hendricks in vigorous
known HIM for years. He wouldn't do at
all: he had no positive convictions. or if he
had, was afraid to express them. He didn't |
ride like brave woman, with both feet on
one side, but astraddle. Hendricks is |
coward; not physical coward, but moral |
coward" etc, etc.
The senator and the lieutenant walked |
away, and saw them no more, but seeing |

him. He, like most of the politicians met,
seemed rather out of humor, and didn't like |
the National platform in the State, which |
to issue greenbacks enough at once
to pay of all the bonds. why, some of the !
bonds were bought with gold, and, as silver /
is the same as gold, why not pay them in |
silver and break faith with no one?''
You mean that you would pay the bonds |
according to the original contract"
That's it exactly. Pay those that were |
contracted to be paid in coin, in |
silver, and those that we're to be paid in |
greenbacks, pay them with greenbacks."
will Ewing get many National votes?
Thousands of them, sir; thousands of |
themn'

glad to see you again. Good day, SIR" and |
