Indianapolis special has interviews with sew.
eral prominent lndianans. ia which they say
the defeat of the Democrats was caused by
the unpopularity Of English and Lladers.
| Fleming. State Treasurer, defeated can
didste for reelection, attempts no conceal
ment Of his disgust with English. He says
that this has been tbs worst managed cam
| paign on the Democratic side in the history
| of that State; that English has proved
miserahly inefficient snd utterly ineompc-
tent; that he has been out-generaled at every
point; that his personal uupopularity lost
many hundreds of votes thss he hiss never
had the State properly polisd, nor organized
the Democrsss III any way
Frank Lsnders sscribes his defeat TO En-
glish's stupidity, stiuginess and misRanage-
ment Of the canvass, but tina. is ali bosh.
Landers isn't fit TO be (sovernor.
General John Love, of the State House
Board, says that the less of Indiana is due to
the Incompetence, avarice aud unpopnlsrity
of English. lie says the latter cannot com
prehend his position, because the only thing
that could annoy him is the loss of a little
money.
StateHouse Commissioner Nelson is equally
severe on English, and laws all the blame on
him for the loss of the State.
Secretary of State Shankliu, who was de-
feated for reelection, is boiling over with
rage, and the mere mention of English's
name fairly throws him into paroxysms of
anger. He refers to English tenGerly as "a
hog and a brute"
General Mansion, another of the victims,
boils over with choice profanity, and bames
Euglish for all the trouble in the most forci-
bic expletives he can command.
Colonel Gray, nominee fer Lieutenant
Governor, says that Landers was a dead
weight to carry, but that the State could
have been carried but for English lie uses
bad words in talking of the latter, and blames
Mcdonald and Voorhees, for his (English'sl
nomination. Gray pronounces English "a
base fraud"
Dtpuby pctrSbAIy VI CIdIe Ieele says tlat
English lost Indiana for the Democrats, and
thinks he ought to retire
Hendricks is said to have declared to-day
that English ought to withdraw at once.
He processes to believe that if English with
draws, Hancock can carry the vote of the
State.
In respect of withdrawal, your correspond
ent can give you gossip only. Messrs. H9rl-
burt and Waterbury remained until this
afternoon, an extraordinary fact unless
there was something up. A prominent
citizen, a lifelong Democrat, says that
there was a meeting last night to.
consider the plan of putting Hendricks in
English's place. Friends of Hendricks say
his record was as good in june as it is now.
Mrs. Hendricks says the Governor shall not
accept. English says he won't have chance
to accept, for be (English) would not go Off
he will go down with the ship, and guess
be will.
ThurlOw Weed On the Result or the
Elections.
NEW YORK, October 15th-Thurlow Weed
was asked what he thought of the elections
in Ohio and Indiana. He replied "The
victory in Indiana l regard as an event Of
greater Importance and benefit to the country
than anything that has happened since the
surrender Of Lee. l think it settles the
Presidential question. 1t shows that the
avowal by Wade Hampton and other leading
Confederates that the South was solid, and
made so for the purpose of vindicating the
principles for which Lee and jackson fought
has had the effect of making the North solid
The influence of this election will be very
great in New York. The interest turns upon
this State, and ia fact upon this city. Coun-
ties outside of New York and Brooklyn will
give largely increased Republican returns
that can only be overcome by some gigantic
fraud in New York. If the business men
who were in the procession on Monday eveu-
ing will give their personal attention to the
canvass, no such frauds can be perpetrated." {"
An Active Campaign to be Made Every
where.
CINCINNATI, October 15th.-Ex-G
Jewell expressed his opinion as follows The
result of the elections in Ohio and Indiana
will secure every Northern State and Florida
1t will give us New York by majority of
forty thousand. The National Committee
has thought that even in the event of losiDg
Indiana, Gar ield and Arthur would carry
New York by twenty Thousand majority.
The committee will press the campaign with
great vigor in New York and New Jersey,
Connecticut, Oregon and California, and
will caution Republicans everywhere to be
alert and energetic with view of rsllying
up as large as possible majorities. The cam
vass in Indiana was fought with the distinct
understanding that the result would settle
the Presidential election in November.
Speakers of pronounced national reputation
will take the stump in West Virginia, North
arolina and Florida, and thus carry the war
into Africa.

NEW YORK, October I5th.-Hancock had
several callers yesterday. He expressed no
discoura cement at the result in Indiana, and
seemed in his usual buoyant spirits. Chair
man Barnum, of the National Democrats
Committee, had conference with him in
