CINCINNATI, O., August l6.-The Com
mcrtial Gasette's correspondent Of New
York telegraphs: New Workers ar,
intensely interested in the Ohio cam
paign. think the Democrats are NOR
i anxionsly watching it than the Republi
cans, ii that is possible. In every instance
the fist question asked me by New YorH
man, when am introduced as an Ohio
man, is: "Well, what will be the result o.
the campaign in your State this fall 2
And it is especially surprising to me tc
observe how well posted they are. Mer
who are not politicians in the understood
meaning OF the term, business men, clerks
&C., talk faniliarly OF the points OF the
campaign, and show that they read every
posted. As I have said, the Dem
ocrals appear especially to be inter
csted, eager for any information, and most
Of them ending by cursing Hoadly. A
prominent Democrat OF Buffalo, and 9
friend OF rildun, talks verv freely. Hesaid
that il was New York influences, energeti.
caIly applied, that nominated Judge hoad
ly, and everything in New YORK Democrat.
ic calculations was staked upon the result.
He told'me that orders were given direct
from Tilden that Thurman and Ward must
be defeated, aud that Hoadly should be the
instrument. One Of 1ilden's henchmen
and well known disbursinR agents was sen;
out, and was at the Neil House two days
before and until after the Convention.
The man was ssen theTe-the came man
who carried the bag for Tilden at St. Louis
and AZ Cincinnati, and, for that matter, his
Rame and presence were published in all
the papers at the time Of the Convention
that nominated Hoadly.
TWO DEAD MEN.
The gentleman added "We could not
afford to have that old Thurman and Ward
mossback element triumph in this cam.
faiRn, upon which 80 much depends. The
two Jsadest men in politics to day are Tom
Hendricks and Allen G. Thurman. They
are dead and damned, aud never will ap.
pear upon the surface. We expected great
results from the nomination OF Hoadly, but
| begin to think it was great bIunder,
because We counted upon his being a.
great in politics US he is in law aud
letters, and We reckoned upon his Ma.
tional reputation and the comparative OBJ
scuriY OF Foraker. There never in the
world WAS nomination made by the
Democrats that at the beginning promised
better than that Of Hoadiy. We felt he
had great elements OF power and popular
ily Ia his own Sate, and that from the
highest sources OF political power in New
York he could command any advice or as
sis'unCe. 1t was expected he would confer
with and be guided by his New York
friends, and we felt that he should have
the benefit OF the highest experience aud
cooperation in coping with such manager
as Foster, whose advice and asIistauce his
adversary, Judge Foraker, would have,
TOO DIG FOR MS CLOTHES.
"We reckoned without the host Hoadly
felt himself too big and too famous and toe
conhien. OF victory to ask for or take i'd
vice, AID not once, until within a day OF
two, has he consulted his New York
friends, aud now it seems too late, such a
horrible bungle has he gotten his campaign
into. He has acted like scAoolboy. It
is not 10 any special smartness upon the
part Of the Republicans that we owe the
discouragtug change in the situation In
Ohio; it is to HOadly himsalf that it is
chageable. Why, what lunatic he was
to tackle Foster on that $50. 900 business; I
suppose Hoadly had some wild idea Of max
ing the point that he edidn'tspend the money
or all OF the money. II he had not bse n
jumped on with both feet by parties from
sections Of the country outside OF Ohio he
would probably have made that reply, and
then, oh, Lord what things would have
come out 1t would have necessitated his
removal from the ticket.
"I was told the other day that final stop
had been put 10 Hoadly's talking of the
stump, and that he would speak on the
stump only after consultation and advice.
But Il see ho has broke away aud got down
in the South and got at 1t again. Oh, its
Of no use. Tnat fats In tho FIRE, and in
certain high Democratic places i'll New
York Ho1diy has proved the bitterest dis.
appointment in lifetime"
