BlantOn Duncan's Interview.


New York telegram
1T is almost too early to be positive
in regard to such matters, as the con-
test cannot be fairly said to have COM
menced; and, just as in great battles
there are fluctuations before a final
decision, we may expect similar de-
velopments as the political battle
grows hot. | can give you my judy
ment of the states to-day, which |
think will become more favorable to
General Hancock. during each month
of the canvass. The southern states
can be disposed of with very little
discussion, and the republicans,
though the leaders are fully aware
that free and courteous debates would
be held with their prominent northern
speakers in every southern state, will
scarcely take the trouble to send
speakers to a field so barren of hopes
for them. The only possible chance
for the republicans will be in Florida,
and that state will be carried by 5000
for Hancock. There will be attention
paid to its canvass and organization
this year, which was neglected in 1876,
and the consequence was a fraudulent
vote in the heavy negro counties,
which overbalanced the fair vote of
more numerous democratic counties.
Arkansas will give from 10000 to
10000; Alabama, A 5000; Delaware.
$500; Georgia, 10000; Kentucky, 80
600; Louisiana, 10000; Maryland 25,-
600; Mississippi, 10000; Missouri, TO-
600; North Carolina. $4,000; South
Carolina, 1000; Tennessee, 10000,
Texas, 5000; Virginia, A 5000; West
Virginia, 10000. The radical party is
completely disrupted and disbanded
in the southern states. If the
negroes could be transferred, like
so many figures on a blackboard, it
would be possible for the local opposi-
ton in several states, like Alabama.
Arkansas and Mississippi. to make a
strong fight under the guise of a
greenback ticket; but that can't be
done. Even Mr.. Lowe, the congress.
mar from Alabama, has declared his
adhesion to General Hancock. With
a radical ticket running in each state
separately, the figures given by me
will be found to be less than the
actual democratic plurality where
three tickets are run. In Kentucky
there will not be over $4,000 republi
can votes cast. The full democratic
vote if it could be polled, is not less
than 100000, and there would be no.
600 majority on that basis. In Viz
ginia the hopes of the radicals will
dissolve into very thin air before No
vember, as under no circumstances
will there be any danger Of two elect
oral democratic tickets being per-
mitted to j~oepardize the result. Pub,
lie meetings are already being held,
which show that the people will con-
troll this, whatever schemes the lead
ers may propose"

Minister Noyes has been conversing
in Paris on the politics of the two
hemispheres. He has faith in the
French republic, for he says: II am
not able to see but the republic is

Wicked MACHINERY.

1t is a bad thing not to attend to
machinery properly. A man in Yon-
kers, New York, had a fine vinegar
factory. BY some mismanagement the
machinery began to turn out whisky
instead Of the harmless acid. The
man, tearing the Incorporate nature
Of his factory would get out, kept the
thing as quiet as possible. and sold
the whisky, hoping all the tune that
the depraved machinery would re-
form. But to tho despair OF the dis
tressed owner it continued to pour
forth alcohol, and before he could get
1t to sign the pledge meddlesome rev.
enue officers bounced down on him.
and have accused him of running an
illicit distillery, when, as everyone
knows, nothing was further from the
poor mans thoughts.

man was frightened nearly out Of his
wits. Lee accompanied his wife to
this country on her second triumphant
professional tour, but in 1877 he was
divorced, owing to scandals in which
she was mixed with a man named
Birch. who was accused of improper
relations with the actress. During
her recent tour in this country, Miss
Nelson was supposed to be on init
mate personal relations with Mr..
Compton, who was the leading mar
Of her troup, and the person who is
set down as her secretary at her death,
in Paris, a few days since. 1t is ua-
derstood that marriage was eontem-
plated between the couple at an early
day. Miss Nelson cleared nearly a
hundred thousand dollars during her
last trip through this country, and her
estate is valued at nearly half mil
lion, all earned in her profession.

A Bit Of Newspaper mistory.

N. Y. Tribune.
The Albany Press and Knicker-
booker publishes an interesting rem
lniscence of Tribune history. The
battle of Gettysburg opened on the
first of July, 1868. The New York
journals of the second and third had
full details, and on tho fourth there
was a dearth of news. This was Sat.
urday.. The night editor went to the
ONCE III the evening. A large force
of compositors and the pressmen were
waiting. The editorial rooms were
filled with persons who had come to
witness the fireworks and, though
everybody was anxious concerning the
battle, yet, as the government had sent
no bulletin, it was thought there was
no change in the situation. About
eight pm. a batch of telegraph cop
came in: The night editor looked
over and found it began with the Rrst
days fighting. 1t was evidently from
one OF the staff Of correspondents who
had been unable to reach a telegraph
otice, for all that had been published
Heading still further, the second DAYS
lighting was described. That. tao
had been published. Further on the
correspondent entered upon the third
days lighting. This was news. and
word was sent at once to the oompos-
ing room to get out an extra. Fur

pondent's account, and an extra was
on the streets at 8 pm, Containing
the greatest news Of the war. The
city was set wild with delight. The
next day the night editor entered the
editorial rooms about / pm, and there
found half a dozen editors sitting
about with woful countenances. AS
he entered, they all exclaimed AZ

editor. NO" well, / think it Is
about time that was done" said he,
and he sent a dispatch to the Tribune
bureau in Washington, when in less
than ten minutes a response was re-
celved to these words "Yes. and

chorus Of screaming went up from the
Threats OF all in the office. No time
was lost then in getting into shape the

Colonel John w. Forney grows
6ercer in his opposition to Garfield, as
election day approaches. Read what
he says in the Progress Of the 14th
inst:
IF l desire to give reasons for my
preference for Winfield S. Hancock, |
have only to turn to the columns OF
the republican journals oil February,
1873. | have no prejudices. | want
to defeat Garfield, because l regard
him as a sneak, a jobber, an impostor,
and, by the witness of the Bulletin,
one who is on both sides. He pro-
fesses civil service, and practices par.
ty slavery; he p%roffers peace to the
south on the one side, and enforces
the sword with the other he takes
brides with one hand, and makes
pious pretensions on the other 4:
he is protection and free trade almost
in the same breath he demands the
largeness Of the tariff men of Pennsyl-
vania, and shrinks at the apparition of
the publication of his still imprinted
letter to the Golden club of London.
| ask the election Of Winfield S. Han
cock to the presidency because he
comes to me as the apostle of peace,
whose father | knew, whose friends |
knew, who saved my state on the Sd
Of July, 1863, when we had given up
all hope, and who at this hour will. if
chosen to the presidency, bring back
to the old hearthstone our southern
brothers and sisters, all who have been
alienated by the bitter quarrels of the
past, and all who are now yearning to
meet together under the laws and the
