New York World, June7J
senator farlev, OF California, Is now st the
New York Hotel. In conversation yester-
day with reporter of the World, the Sena-
tor said: II think the nomination of Han
cock for the office of President makes
California more than a doubtful State, and
will give us Democratic victory there this
fall. General Hancock is very well known
there, and he is favorite with men OF all
classes
He has been in California on service, has
he notr'
"Yes; he was on duty in the lower part of
California during the years preceding the
war, but his record since then has been
watched, and he is well known there"
What of the Kearney movement
well, from what / hear, and from what
the newspapers say, judge that Kesrney
has been thrown overheard, and that the
men who have been following him will be
found in place in the Democratic ranks. You
see, California has had her share. and more
than her share, of trouble from Republican
misrule, and the business men are anxious
for change; they see a season of rest and
certainty under a Democratic Administra-
ton, and they are willing to do all they oan
to bring il about"
"How did the Chicago nominations strike
the Republicans of the Pacific Slope@'
Very badly, indeed. They were all ready
to make a big fight with Blaine, but they
have not yet recovered from the shock which
the name of Garfield seemed to give them.
l think 1t is cafe to say that the change from
Blaine to Garfield has made difference of
10000 votes Ia the count of the State of Cali.
fornia at the coming election. Since the
Cincinnati Convention have telegraphed to
the Pacific, asking as 70 the reception of the
news OF the work OF the Convention, and the
answers which / received today say, We
can carry the State and the more hear
and look at the work before US out there the
more l think il possible that we can do So
The State on a fair count is Democratic any.
how, but things have been SO mixed that it
is almost impossible to say where the vote
really lies"
Have you any local issues to confuse the
campaign"
None. 1t will be straight fight on the
general ticket There are Congressmen TO
be chosen, but no local elections in the sense
that you mean"
What of the other Pacific States?"
"Oregon IS one Of the doubtful States but
from what know OF her she will 60 Demo-
cratic under such leader as Hancock. Yes,
l think you may safely assume that ell three
OF the Pacific States will go Democratic this
year"
"Does not Hancock give general satistac.
ton to the better class of Republicans"
He does TO all who are not bound to the
machine. He is regarded as a very good
candidate by all independent voters, and
from this class we shall, 1 think, draw
largely"
"Is there any special feature of the situs-
ton which will secure the Democratic ticket
support in your State?'
"The party received the nomination, as /
have said, gladly, but the business men of
the State will give it victory-the men who
have built up establishments of their own,
and have put out capital in business enter
prises. They have had enough of Republican
uncertainty they poizt to the record to
show that the whole policy and practice of
the Republican party for years past has
been against their interests on the Pacific
Slope, and these men are anxiQSA for -the
stability which they zee will comeDn with
the return of the Democrats to power. l
feel more sure every day as hear more from
the State that We are to make the State of
California Democratic this fall"

very great honor, but superadded to that
honor is also the fact that they assemble
here to perform a very great and very

fellow citizens upon the selections made
in Cincinnati for the candidates for
to be voted for by the Demo.
cratic people. That adds to the in
terest, but neither Of these would suffice
to have induced me to appear in public-not
that lack interest in the Democracy. Few
have made more sacrifices for those princi-
pies than 1 have from the beginning of the
war until this day. [Cheers Nor would

Indifferent to me; but until now

solemn duty to stand out in favor OF actual
