which the tax is no longer needed. Even
now, as recommended by Arthur, all in
ternal taxation can be done away, "Can't
say whether the Republicans of the last
congress alienated the working men of
the Republican party; if not that, the
pending Ohio election will be Influenced

reduction of duties, il is too early
the southern states manufacturing
wooden ana cotton goods, sugar
and iron. Those most likely 10
be affected by the free trade issue are
Louisiana, Georgia and. Alabama. The
sugar interests of Louisiana certainly
would fail under the free trade policy,
for, without protection, Louisiana sugar
planters are poweriess to compete with
Cuba, Brazil, Sandwich Islands. The
iron interests in Alabama are safe. The
effect of the free trade plank OF the
Democratic platform on the presiden
tial election in New York in the pres
emit state of public opinion, would be
ruinous also, and would lose New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and probably Indiana.
The Democratic party has available

the country. Mcdonald Of Indiana, is
spoken of; Hendricks has friends; Bay
ard warm friends, probably more per-
sonal admirers than any other man of

| Thurman is one of the ablest men in the
| country. If Ohio unites TO his support

nation is assured.
Tilden's friends are not discussing his
nomination.
am his friend, and am not aware OF
such discussion. If Tilden was fifteen
years younger, and in corresponding
| physical strength there would be no
| doubt of his nomination Don't think
the westetn states will insist On naming
| the candidate The desire of success
predominates over every other feeling
Butler, IN my opinion has no chance
| of the nomination. It would be toe
hard to close up the southern states. He
sees no prospects of reconciliation be
tween the stalwarts and half breeds
they hate each other worse than they
hate the Democratic party.
Blaine's chances are poorer than In
1876 or 1880.
Arthur don't desire denomination
He is gentleman, a good fellow, ant
makes better president than any Other
man would have, similarly situated.
Grant hasn't q ghost of chance
Pendleton has no originality, no en-
terprise.
Dana further said he didn't believ
the civil service commission woult
accomplish anything; that Irish revOlu
zionist opinion would not influence TIL
election; secret midnight conspirator
} should have no place in a republic
Concluding, he said American journal
} ism was progressive, and California un
J doubleday would be one of the creates
states of the Union.
