Last night courier JOuTnM rePoIloI, NJ
ter laboriously hunting for him, found Gov
ernor Hubbard, of Texas, sitting calmly
reading at a south window of the Gait house
and after PASSING his card was kindly greeted
welcomed and pleasantly entertained for an
hour by that gentleman. Governor Hub
bard is one of that kindly looking sort Of
men whose couutenance, person and every
mannerism present an attraction to mos
people. About five feet ten inches high
wei Ching something over two hundred
pounds, he presents the fascinating form OF a
jolly soul, which is gratifying in the extreme.
About fifty years ofage; long, full and flow
ing beard, considerably grzzIed by time; q
Georgian by birth and education; well edu'
Gated and highly cultured by constant and
long association with the best ofpeople, he is
one of these men who

with the further fact that he has soft yet

The governor has long been known there rs
one of the finest takers in Texas, but his re-
putation for oratory this far east and north
has lately been called into existence by his
fiery and heart offering of eloquence at the
Cincinnati convention on the nomination Of
General Hancock. On that occasion he &C.
tually electrified the tens of thou'aDds of
which that vast audience was composed by
the masterly quality of his unrivaled word
painting power. 'Of course it is very graft
flying to know his efforts on that occasion
were appreciated, but that he m do no claim
to eloQuence in his effort at Cincinnati; it

The reporter ask, d him what ho thought
would be the probable effect Of the Maine
election, manipulation, etc. He said: at
can but have n good effect everywhere on
Democrats, and in their favor, by cores
ponding depression of Republicans; no one
can do battle bravey or successfully who is
open to the charge of fraud and theft, and
the Republicans Of Maine certainly are, and
their guilt extends TO the party the nation
over The moral effect will be very decidedly
favorable to the Democracy, as the Green
hackers are already perfectly convinced of
the fact that Plaislel was fairly elected by
the honest votes of Maine, and that the Re.
publicans, in the wake of the arch enemy
Blaine, are now and have Teen, ever since
Tuesday, busily engaged fraudulently chang
ing the ballots to show the election of
Davis, and these same Greenbacker., or Ma.
tionals, have deliberately come to the con.
clusion that General Weaver approves of and
endorses tho course of those Mainespoliatols.
Hence they are becoming more and more
lukewarm on the national question, and they
will largely desert Weaver and his bloody
shirt faction of disguised Republicans long
before November, and will enlist under the
Hancock banner. have talked with very
many of the National party in Indiana men
who are Earnestly and heartily enlisted in the
cause, belonging to the Greenbsck clubs and
other local organizations OF that party-who
declare that they will vote for Landers in
October and for Hancock in November. They
seem to feel that their party has been
SOLD OUT by GENERAL WEAVER,
and the Republican party and theirs dom.
seem disposed to acquiesce, The signs are
certainly more hopeful than for twenty
years."
The intcrlocutor then asked him what he
thought Of the proposition 10 fuse with the
National party on their congressional asp
rant in the Indianapolis district, and whether
be thoukh hi the plan practicable or advisable.
He said the plan was fully practicable, and
was certainly advisable; that while the
chances were largely in favor of Democratic
success in Indiana, and that, if Republi an
frauds could be prevented, the state wss

effect. And while be thought Mr.. Byfeld,

the Republican nominee and Mr.. De l.,

Democracy nothing practically, and would
engender feeling of an amicabo nature that
would be very efficient in behalf of Han
cocks success. The example of Democrats
voting for De La Matyr would win many

nothing of that Kind ought to be thrown

district would gladly effect such a fusion by
the withdrawal of their nominee but it Is
impossible for them. While it Is possible
for the Democrats in Indiana, it ought to be-
