THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THE OUT

LOOK.
Mr.. HANCOCK THINKS TIE OLD TICKET WILL
BE RENOMINATED AND THAT THE RE-
PUBILCANs WILL. BE SUCCESSFUL.
Attorney General Hancock in the course OF a con-
versation with Tribune reporter last night expressed
the opinion that the Old ticket would be renorni-
mated and added that II denomination ten
dered to him he would accept it, Speaking Of the
Excise law he said that the objections Of the Demo-
Gratis to its constitutionaity were he thought hardly
valid.
The political situation throughout the State was,
he said. perfectly satisfactory and the Republican
party was well together. The controversy in this
city regarding the enforcement OF the Excise lnw
was he observed exciting very little interest about
the State; In fact. there had been little discussion
over the question outside New-York After saying
that Controller Roberts would undoubtedly accept a
denomination. Attorney General Hancock added that
there was no doubt the Republican party would
carry both the Senate and Assembly with large ma
torities. The party united and perfectly salts
fed with the record OF the Legislature. The party
knew that as long as Governor Morton was in
Office. nothing could be charged against the In
tegrity OF the Republican party.
