G. 7. Breckinridge, Of Lexington, to
whom IT IL not necessary to Introduce
the readers Of the Cosvier-Jo1raoE,
said, in the course of brief conyersa-
ton with your representative yester-
day, some things in relation to the pres
ent state Of politics that are certainly
worth while TO repeat. He does not
regard the outlook for the Democracy
with any gloomy foreb0dine, nor does
he trouble himself much about looking
for the causes Of the recent reverse in
Indiana. At first an ardent supporter
Of Gov. TiIden, he became after the
nomination powerful advocate of Han
cock and English. He looks at things
as they are and sums them up thus
ave can elect Hancock without the
yOte Of Indiana by carrying, in addition
to the Southern States, New Yerle and
Maine, and any one OF the doubtful
States Of New Jersey, Connecticut,
New Hampshire or California. We
need not, however, surrender Indiana,
as Hancock is unquestionably stronger
IN that State than was the local ticket.
A majority Of six or seven thousand is
not much in vote Of 100000. l.
would require but an exceedingly smau
percentage Of change TO reverse the ma
jority and put il on the other side. Of
course, if with New York we carry In
diana that elects Hancock, but we must
carry New York, and we cannot do that
unless Mr.. Kelly is satisfied. There
are men who are making use Of Mr.
Kelly's power and great political snse
t. demand too much. The Irving Hall
or regular Democracy are chatting under
this. Mr. Kelly has only seventy thou
sand vstes, which, TO be suHp, Is cnly a
small part of the Democratic party of
New York, but it is enough 60 insure
the defeat of the Democrats If that
strength should be cast in fayer Of the
Republicans. Mr.. Kelly does not want
to zee his friends turned out of office in
New York City and natural = desires
to have Mayor who will be friendly
to him. Ii the Democracy will not
give him that he can obtain il by an
alliance with Carrie, and Arthur. To
Tammany it is of more Importance to
save Tammany than to elect Presi-
dent
''Goy. Tilden," said Col. Bnsckin-
ridge, "behaved generously in this mat
ter. lie told the Democrats to give
Kelly all he asked. His reasoning was
that if with the assistance of Kelly a
Democratic President could be eit I j,
then Kelly would sink out Of sight as
President maker. For with tire Fed
erol machinery in the hands Of the
doubtful States would be no longer
doubtful, and the vote Of New York
would not be so essential to Democrat
ic success. Tn the other hgnd, if you
refuse To unite with Kelly on his own
terms and the Democracy should he
beaten, the people will not stop to con
slider how unreasonable are Mr. Kelly's
demands, but viii place the responsible
ity Of the defeat on your shoulders. Ii,
said Mr.. Tilden, he wants Rappello for
Supreme Judge, let him have him. Ii
be wants the Mayor of New YORK, let
him have him. As matter of fact"
said Col. Breckinridge. Judge Rappel
10 was nominated by the Saratoga Con
vention for Supreme Judge; and Mr..
Tilden was mainly instrumental IN
bringing about that great denonstra-
| ton in New York in which AR. Tilden
took part, and of which Mr.. Kelly Was
made the center. The Irving Hall
Democracy grew restless at the exorhit-
ant demands of Kelly. They have
friends in New York also, whom they
do not desire to see sacrificed. They
complained to Mr.. Tilden. He said he
was not surprised, and again eonnseled
them to give him everything he asked.
II he wants the AIayoralty. and the
preservation of his own position, let him
have them. Give him what ever he
asks.
"This advice" said Col. Breckenridge.
twas what might have been expected
of Mr.. Tlden's noble generosity, and is
the utterance of statesman Whether
it will be followed, remains to be seen.
While Mr.. Kelly is personally honest
, man, he is in politics man without
, scruplts, and, 20 serve the purpose Of
himself and his friends, would not hesi
tate to repudiate the dramatic raconeil
! iation at Cincinnati to save his party II
) New York city"
