An Interview with Major Quincy.

Bellaire, with Major W. H. Quincy, the
gentleman who delivered so entertain
Ing a speech at the Academy OF Music,
on THURSDAY night. He is a member oil
the reorganized Tammany and an
influential one, too. At the Cincinnau
! Convention, he appeared before the
| Committee on Credentials 10 present
the claim OF Tammany for recognition.
Surprising, from his position and rom
n~ection, he must necessarily be well IN
formed of the political situation, the
REGISTER nan asked him a few ques'
tons. 49,

II told Mr.. Barnum the night OF my
return that the fusion ticket Wouiu

How is the New York Democracy"
"Neyer was in such fine condition
never in the world. Not only will
every Democrat in the state sup
port General Hancock, but he he
publicans are coming over by thous'
ands. The Republican Hancock club
alone numbers 5000 men. All over the
State can be heard OF choppers" They
are in every county, town, hamlet and
cross roads,
Can YOU give any figures on the re-
suit in New York;"
Eyes, with tolerable certainty. Til
den carried the State by n little over
$4,000. Hancock vii certainly run
ahead OF that. We Gale late that New
York county will give 5000 Democratic
majority. Kings county WI give 25,0OO
10 So 600 more. Queens viii give 1000
and Richmond 5000. In round num-
brrs | think we will meet the country
figures with 100, 900 majority. In the
State, outside OF the places named, the
Republican majority is about 40,OOO.
This wear it will not be over $1,000 ac-
cnrdinr 10 our figures. That will leave
us the State by 5000. IL is safe to say,
at any rate, that We will carry it by
$4,000, and YOU know Blaine says a ma.

What is the New York opinion oil
Indiana
The New York opinion is the same
as the Democratic opinion every where.
There is not the slightest doubt that
Indiana will be any thing but Demo
cratic. The Republicans are preparing
for an easy fall by proclaiming it will be
no loss To them, As Indiana is a Demo.

"What oil Ohio and Pennsylvania"
at will be Il sorry thing indeed il
Garfield cannot secure his w state. A
very warm canvass is being made there
and the result will he close, to say the
least. For the State election, Lang and
his friends are doing good work and !
would not be surprised il he is elected.
He will carry the German almost
solid. Il seems to be the general opinion
that Hancock is stronger than the State
ticket there, aselsewherc.
an Pennsylvania we have an advan-
tage that we have not in Ohio, and that
is, the effect of the Indiana boom. |
will not venture a prediction rs to the
result there, but will give instead a few
facts from which you can form an opin-
ION. In the first place, a great many OF
Hancock's soldiers came from Pennsyl-
yania, and OF them hundreds will sup
port their old commander. Others are
hopping daily in every direction and
while we only hear OF the noted ones,
there are hundreds of others, news OF
whom never get beyond their own com
munilv. Then there are local troubles
in Allegheny county that will tend to
largely reduce the Radical majority
there. But a prime point is in Phila-
delphia itself. In latter years they
could fix the Radical majority OF that
city to suit themselves, but last year a
.ang of repcaters was sentenced from
there and much has been done to purify
the elections. But" he continued, as
the train stopped at Bellaire, much
will depend on the increase in Indiana
