While the committee has had no regular
meeting for some time, there is always one
member present in the city personally su-
pervising the work. This lot has fallen to

has written to ex-senator Thurman, REQUEST
ing him to make two speeches in Ohio this
fall. Representative Thompson, of the COM
mittee, is in Kentucky looking after his
political interests there. His denomination
and election is said to be assured.
Gen. Rosecrans was seen yesterday after
noon by Post reporter. He spoke Sreelv
OF the DEMOCRATIC party and its prospects,
and said: "The outlook is tolerably favor
able to the Democratic cause everywhere.
It is becoming pretty well understood that
the Democratic party now actually repre-
sents the great mass of the producing
classes, and must hereafter do so more per-
fectly. Those who believe in the Greenbsck
doctrine are becoming aware that It is
impossible to expect a fair hearing
from the Republican party, which is ir-
revocably committed against It. It can
never hope to have its theories realized
without voters. 1t can never get voters
without fair consideration of it's arpu-
ments. 1t can never get such a considera-
ton from the Republican party. Its onlv
rational hope of obtaining converts is to
appeal to the Democratic party and here
rests its case upon a fair hearing with them.
The sincere Greenbackers are becoming
gradually aware of this. Those who are
animated by vanity and ambition can not
be expected to accede to any reasonable
views, and are generally by these motives,
II not by pecuniary ones, acting In the In
terest Of Republicanism.
"What is the outlook In Maine pr
"The general outlook in Maine is fayora-
BILE to the Democracy-that is to say, to the
Fusion ticket and the Democracy. The
large expenditure Of Republican eIoouence
and Republican money from the jaw Hub
bell treasury. 1t is to be presumed, will
have some effect, but from nv advices the
percentage will be .proportfonatelv small
and disappointing to Republicans, but en-
couraging to those who believe in the i'm
portance OF maintaining the purity of the
ballot. we are not at all afraid of the can
vass in Maine, having more than usual
cause for encouragement"
"How about Denis KearneY and the
chances In California ?''
"Denis Kearney is Republican draymsn
at the San Francisco custom house-onlv
this and nothing more. He is a dead failure
ana oeao issue so far as regards the at
tempt to make new sand lot agitation. l
think there is In that State more to
indicate a wholesome reaction in favor
of the Democracy in its higher and
better sense than we have seen
since the close Of the war. The
general sentiment of the Democrats. and
even of the Republicans, is that the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, General Stone
man, and the lesser Sta officers and five
out of six of the Congressman will be Dem
ocrats. This will retire Ex-Governor Pa
checo. He was elected over hts Demo
cratic opponent, Leech, by 134 votes, while
the Worklngmen's party rau very respect
able man, a Mr.. Godfrey, to whom they
gave large vote"
"What will be the Democratic issues in
the next Presidential campaign ?''
''The great general issue will be this
Two parties, one representing the produc-
ing classes of their allied friends, and the
other the cspitalistic classes, have existed
and will exist for all time to come. The
great substantial nuclus of the former is the
Democratic party. The Republican party,
with large following due to the posses
sion of spoils and the prestage of success,
represents the latter. The issues in
1884 will be based on the respec tive
interests OF these two classes. We
contend for such an adminisira-
just division Of the annual profits of indus
try between capital and labor. An economi-
cal administration Of the government, a
thorough and efficient reform In the civil
service, just regulation Of the transporta-
ton business, and the utmost possible dimI-
mutton OF the centralizIng tendencies of the
Federal administration and the greatest en-
lsrgement Of the influences in favor Of local
self-government."
"What do you think Of the Republican
assessment scheme?"
"The thing which is most palpable In the
campaign just now is the infamy and hypoc-
risy OF the Jay Hubbell tax on the Federal
officeholders to secure the means for the
party ascendance. The hypocrisy consists
In the pretense that it is voluntary; the vii
lainy in robbing individuals or the Federal
Treasury. II the Democrats, when thev oet
IN power, can't invent better method tbsn
that, they deserve to go where the Republic
can party is bound to find itself sooner or
later"
