New YORK, September 2S.-Congressman
Cox was met by a reporter on Broadway,
ooking as fresh and hearty as if the ones
ton of the Speakership had been settled
long ago and to his supreme satisfaction.
"Isee, Mr.. Cox" said the reporter, that
you are one OF the Committee on Har.
mony. That being so, why haven'tyou gone
to Buffalo"
"Well, he replied, l am to speak in
Ohio all OF the week preceding the elec'
ton. 1t occurs on the second Tuesday Of
October-the 9th, think"
you are sanguine as to your old State?'
Il am anxious, not saneuine. The cam.
paign there has been better managed dur
ing the past week.
What do you undertake when you go to
Ohio-to do for Ohio on your visit?'
"lf were an undertaken as Douglas
JerroId once remarked, ~ should say that
l know OF several persons could work for
with net little satisfaction
You mean Gov. Foster and Foraker and
such"
Never Heard of Foraker
till he was nominated. Governor Foster l
knew in Congress. He is a cunning
schemer, a business man in politics, with.
out sentiment or thought except mer-
caLtiIe He is rot bad person; but oh,
thunder how easy he can be beaten, if
knitted in his smiling ways
You seen. TO have some feeling about
Foster
None. do not respect a man who can

Ohio by the i'll hammered vulgarians OF
politics. Judge Hoadly is man OF refined
sensibility, aud knows little of the vindic-
tive coarseness Of these bounds OF political
warfare All his life he has been lawyer.
His love has been the love OF the heroes of
politics, who would have died for personal
liberty to write, think and act. | think
Algernon Sydney was his ideal"
"Iou are enthusiastic about Hoadly?'
We'll, why not? We studied law to-
gether under the gentlest OF gentlemen.
We went from GAINESVILLE TO Cincinnati,
Ohio, almost together. He went under in
tluences of one kind. They led him to
fight for personal lberty-eyen to the dis
regard Of the Fugitive Slave Law. He was
Governor Chase's Student.
l went to Vachel Worthipgton's office on

Was exotficio notary for Longworth and his
business. Well, we boys differed then-not
now. go to say my word for him TO my
old Gistric in Ohio
Iii there no Presidential bee buzzing in
Judge HOadly's bonnet,
The only buzz about his ears is likely
that of the quiuine which the doctor has
prescribed. Judge Hoadly is an Ohio man,
and cognizant of the Buckeye statesmen,
all of whom are ambitious grandees. He
is now a radical Democrat, and believes in
TIE future OF our country; but he is not
bitten by the magIsterial tarantula-not
yet. Mr.. Halstead and his partner, Dea-
con Smith, are fitting with straw against
an adamsntine person when they rail and
raid against Judge Hoadly. The prayers
of the unrOguish people are with this de-
scerdent OF Jonathan Edwards, and they
care not for the reproach Of the Burr blood,
either in religion or politics.
You cone down to the morale OF the
Ohio fight. II is liquor, isn't it?'
Il understand it. The Republicans
CIamOr for High License Taxes,
that LIQUOR may flow IN splendid and spark
ling streams, and from no small shops At
the same time they tender prohibition OF
all LIQUOR, They say to the gentlefolk in
Ohio, Pay big and drink much-much as
you like; but if you won't DO that, pay
none and be confiscate in saloon, brewery,
distillery and all
"You have not spoken OF your belief in
the next Presidency
We'll. last year We Democrats captured
California. Colorado, Connecticut, Della
wsre, Kensas, Massachusetts, tButler,)
Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, not to
speak of other States like little New York
with her splendid Guberpatorial and his
majority. We have 1872 members Of Con-
grf IS out Of a house OF 325. Our majority
of States now is 23 to ~ What could We
ask more OF the beginning OF fight, whose
eventuali;y is not to be counted ont, as in
1876? of course it is our ume-lSSi IS our
YEAR"
