Possibly on the State Ticket.
New York World.l
Mr.. Bradley B. Smalley returned from
Vermont yesterday, and was busy at the
headquarters of the National Democratic
committee assigning speakers to various
points snd perfecting his list of speakers
available. The other members of the COM
mittee present were w. l.. Scott, of Penn
sylvania; Orestes Cleveland, of New Jersey,
and Outerbridge Horsey, of Maryland.
Among the callers were Senator Geo. III.
Pendleton, of Ohio; Senator j. z. Melon
ald of Indiana; Senator Lamar, of Missis-
sippi; VIM. g. Whitney,T. A. Hamilton and
81. G. Marquand, of New York; VIM.
H. Ludlow, of Suffolk coun-
ty, and ex-senator Pool, of
North Carolina. The latter gentleman
was Republican United States Senator from
North Carolina, voted for Mr.. Hayes four
years ago, and now announces himself for
Hancock, and will make speeches during the
campaign for the Cincinnati ticket. Sena-
tors Mcdonald and Pendleton left for Wash
ington last night. Mayor Cooper goes on the
committee as Mr., Hewitt's substitute while
the latter is abroad.
Mr.. Pendeton while at headquarters ex-
pressed great confidence of Democratic
victory in Ohio, and declared that there were
better grounds for that confidence taan is
generally supposed. He said that, having a
very thorough knowledge of the State, he
watched the effect of the nominations at
Cincinnati in different sections of Ohio, and
had observed the opening of the canvass with
great care. In forming judgment of the
probable result of the election he had given
due weight to his apprehensions and made
| due allowance for the over-confidence of en-
| thusiastic friends. Bearing all this in mind,
l he had reached the deliberate conclusion that
success was assured and that Ohio would
| this year be Democratic State.
Senator Mcdonald was very much amused
at Murat Halstead's story about Democratic
disaffection in Indiana in general and about
Mr.. English and himself in particular, and
characterized it as the work of Mr.. Hal
stead's imagination.
| Among the letters received yesterday by
the Democratic National committee was one
from Lewis B. Parsons, the Democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor of Illinois.
He, with other candidates on the State ticket,
is visiting all sections of the State, and,
writing from Joliet on the 30th of July, says
"We have now been in eight Congressional
districts and have seen representative men
from over fifty counties. We find the uni
versal tone better than we expected or ven
tured to hope for. Never since 20 have we
seen the like of it, and then it was on the
other side. Everywhere there is hope, en-
thusiasm and determination. No one seems
to doubt our ability to carry the national
| ticket, and the feeling is becoming general
that we can elect our State ticket, and we'll
| fight for it. The Greenback Democrats are
falling into line largely, while the Republican
Greenbackers hold on to the Greenback
party. In southern Illinois we shall not suf-
fer from that. Again, the young men are
largely coming to u.s. mean those who
will cast their first vote this fall. Clubs are
rapidly forming in large numbers. We
have, present company excepted, the best
State ticket possible. Judge Trumbull will
have the united Democratic support: he ha;
|! the profound respect of all men for his great
abilities and spotless character. Many
Greeley Liberals who went back to the Re-
publican party, as well as many other Re
publicans, will support him. All of the
ticket is very popular. We rely greatly upor
a larger vote than was cast in 1876. Oul
voting population then was scarcely less
than Ohio's, yet we cast 10000 less thar
that State. In 1872 Grants majority was
| $1,000. In 1876 Hayes had less than 1000
over all, and about 19, 900 only over Tilden.
Cooper's vote was about 1000. Two thirds
of that is likely to come to us. We think
we can get out many more than the Repub
llcans of the votes not out in 1876"
F.E. Albright, of Murphysboro, ILL.,, un-
der date of July 90, writes: "We are going
to carry the State of Illinois. We have a
very strong State ticket and Hancock
and English are very Ropular. Lo-
gan is getting his Indian blood cooled
down.
r. FL. Brokaw, of Bound Brook, N. j.,
writes that Hancock's majority in that State
will be 10000.
