THE SITUATION IN OHIO.
Aal Intervie,c avith Judge Hoadley-Erery
Prospect Pieases.

Judge George Hoadley, of Cincinnati, who
welded the hickory gavel as TEMPORARY
chairman of the Cincinnati convention, was
interviewed by Times reporter at the
Grand Pacific last evening, on the political
situation.
"What is the feeling among the Ohio
Democrats?" inquired the reporter.
81 have never known more unity or en-
thusiasm to exist in the party than at pres
ent. The enthusiasm appears to be con-
fined to us, too, and see no reason why we
should not carry the State, although have
no intention of predicting any such result.
Still it would not be at all surprising when
everything is taken into consideration,
if the State were to go
Democratic. We have not had any real test
of party strength since 1877, when the Re-
publicans were beaten by 1000 majority.
The State is and has long been very close,
and liable to 60 either way. In the present
campaign Neal Dow, the prohibitionist candi-
date, will take more votes than would any
other, and as the prohibitionists poll any
where from three to
TEN THOUSAND VOTES,
almost all of which come from the Republi-
can party, this may have an important effect
upon the result. There is no renson why
the prohibitionists should vote for Garfield,
as he is not temperance man, drinks glass
of wine whenever he feels like 1t, and is
what is called good fellow generally. Then,
too, the only German paper III northern Ohio,
a Cleveland paper, and the leading Cincin-
natl German organ, are both out for Hancock
in his own district. Garfield may be looked
for to run behind, as he has several strong
opponents in his own party who have at diff
ferent times been defeated by him for Con-
Gratis of the district. Still, his majority has
been increased each time, and in the rest of
the State he will poll the full strength of his
party, with the exception mentioned. I don't
wish it to be understood as trying to make
it appear that Garfield is not strong can
didate in his own State, as believe he is,
but that we have good hope of being able
to carry the State if we make a good fight, as
We certainly will"
"Do you know anything about the al
legged lll-feeling among the Democratic lead
ers in Indiana?"
"Only what I read of it in the papers. I
do not place the slightest confidence in the
report, however, and believe that without a
doubt Indiana will go Democratic. Still,
neither

is necessary to Democratic success in Novem-
ber, bat, if Indiana were to 60 Republican
in October, the result would be discouraging
to say the least
ais there anything in the Democratic claim
that Pennsylvania will go for Hancock3'
"Well, the Democrats there seem to con-
slider the chances good enough to warrant
them in making strong fight. Gen. Pier
son, John w. Forney, and several other
prominent Republicans have come out openly
and declared for Hancock, while Don Cam
eron need not be looked for to over-exert
himself on the other side"
els there any probability that the New
York Republicans will reconvene their legis-
lature and change the plan of choosing Pres
idential electors ?'
"They have it in their power to so rob us
of full delegation in the State, but if they
are not determined on seeking political ex-
termination, they will not undertake it.
Nothing could more surely
AROUSE THE RESENTMENT
of the American people than for legisls
ture which was not elected for the purpose
to take such action solely for the purpose of
trying to secure success in electing the nomi
nee of the party for President. do not
believe, however, that they will undertake to
do anything of the kind, as it would be in
direct opposition to the principle supported
by Senator Conkling and the large majority
of the delegation from New York to the Chi
cago convention, that the State has the right
to instruct the delegates. If they should,
however, it will end as have said-in the
complete annihilation of the Republican
party
"Would the loss of the vote of New York
defeat Hancock"
"Not at all. It would simply make his
election certain
