'It was not my choice, but think it Will do. We
are going to be embarrassed from the out
set for funds. and l don't know who Will
furnish them. l have used money before, and i
know its Importance. These Western fellows Will
take all We can raise. don't like this October
State business. You ask Macdonald. ami ne will
tell you they are at the bottom of thrir means
already. We shall be loaded with this
man English. Good enough, dare say;
but Hendricks is the favOrite in Indiana.
Before five days every Catholic church III the coun-
try will be flooded with stories perfectly untrue
and distorted to be sure, about the Surratt busi-
ness. Why, if it hadn't been for me they would
have published letter this morning showing that
Hancock tried to dispose of Mrs. Surratts body to
the directors of medical school"
Congressman Atkins found in the Hancock
Headquarters. "They will withdraw their racket.
| know it." shouted Mr.. Atkins, referring to the
Republicans. II don't judge from anything have
beard. but feel it instinctively. 1 tell yon," lie
continued lowering his voice to more confidential
ton of Hancock in preference to that of Garfield"
IL deem it the most fortunate nomination that
we could have made" SAID Senator Bailey, OF
Tennessee. 1t will harmOnze the Democratic
party of New York. and if we lose election now
it will be our own faut. or course, we will carry
the ticket in all the Southern STATES, and may EUDe
to carry Pennsylvania, New-York. Indiana, and
some Others" ~
Henry Watterson came here TO work for 1den,
and he remained loyal TO his great leader the end
OF course he does not like the ticket rs well as he
would the denomination of the old one OF 1876, but
ON the whole he thinks it is good
one, and it will of course receive his
hearty support. L" The Democratic candidates
are nv candidates" he said this evening. and l
shall give them the most earnest support in my
power" Mr.. Watierson says that he shall take the
opportunity offered by the first campaign
speech which he makes to put his
foot down, as far as he is concerned,
upon the idea that General Garfield is not honest
man. He knows him well and declares his belief
that be is not corrupt man. The simple fact that
he is poor man when he has had 80 many Opp0r-
tnnites to enrich himself through the improper use
OF his position Is proof that certainly he is honest
TALK WITH KELLY.
John Kelly was found iii his parlOr at the Burnet
House. Peopls wr'e constantly coming into the
ROOM both strangers and acquantances,to to give the
Tamniany chieftain a parting greeting.
"Mr Kelly do you consider this result as in any
wise victory for Tammany as between tho two
factions in New-York r. he was asked.
"Oh. no; it's rather victory for the Democratic
party,o he replied.
"And Is the breach between Tammany and Anti
Tammany healed p asked THE TRIBUNE
respondent.
"The breach is healed so far as we are concerned.
We offered them the olive branch aud they accepted
1t in good faith, and have to believe that
the party will be united In the State and carry the
election"
"What method will be taken to briug the two
wings of the party together ~
al don't think any method will be taken at pres
ent, because the State Convention will not meet
until the latter part Of September or the first of
October. There must be some preliminary steps
taken. Probably some advances will be made on
both sides to build our defences, but there can't
be any definite result until the meeting of the State
Convention"
'.Do you consider the ticket a strong ones"
eyes, sir, do. consider it very strong nOnui-
nation stronger. probably, than any OF the other
persons named at the Convention"
"What about Englishp
81 consider that Mr. English is q very strong
nomination. was in Congress with Mr. English
twenty-f years ago. and learned to know him
WELL he rarely spoke Dut always I'd the pOlnt.'
"is there any ground for the apprehension that
the Catholic vote will be offended because of Han
cocks record i'm the Surratt matterP
"Oh not the least. Hancock only obeyod orders
in that matter. and was even confederate that he
stationed reiays Of horsemen to bring reprieve,
should one be granted at the last moment"
