s''Very little. The people are thinking
liuapre about business than politics just
now. Hon. &. j. Faulkner is talked of
aslth leading candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination, and the Republicans
art casting their eyes towards General
GoR He is their tayorite. The fight

HON. W II. xAAvERs,
Of Jefferson county, delivered the address
at the commencement, exercises of the
public schools in this place, on the
evening OF tile 24th, and during his stay
/ sought and was granted short inter
view, and here is the'teSult;
"What is your OpihlOn as to the con-
ditiOn OF the Democratic party in this
state, and its prospects at the next gem
eral electiOap"
'srhe condition OF the party in the
STAT is not inihy Judgment, as salts
factbry as Il should be. This may be
result.in part, loi confidence in its
frength, and the result OF careleSSness
in its management, both local and gem

party is much more likely to be better

6fk-Ve- the people OF the State will be
willing to cntrust them to the Demo-
cratic party
HAS the Democratic party of the
State, i'm your opinion, any particular
reference as regards Presidential candi-
lates?"
81 do not know that there is a very
decided preference for any particular
candidate that could name. The party,
in my judgment, will be willing To sup
