Hespoke of several met in whom confldence could be put. Among the number mentioned were Bam F, Hunt, Gen. Durbin Ward, Gen. Rice, and others. He ox- pressed the upiufoh that tho platform would contain artrony greenback plank, and would insist on the repeal of the Resumption act, and thatthe silver dollar should be restored to entle- its former standard. He regarded the real Issue to be on the financial — qucs- tion, and was satisfied that, with o greenback platform, together with a feeling of Ulssatisfaction in the Republican ranks, the Detnocracy could and would carry the State this fall Jf they placed a man at the head of the ticket whom the Liberal element could anp- port. ‘The General did not desire the notniva- fon, and had repeatedly so expressed himself, and the only reason he had for allowing his name to used was caused by the many letters he had got from all” por- tlons of the State insisting on hls becoin- ing « candidate. As a public man he eould not disregard these requests, and he had flually given his friends permission to use his name, Jn regard to the war belng made on Mr. Converac, lic knew nothing of the matter until he read the eurd of Mr. Converse in the Cincin- natl A ugquirer, stating that the charges were niade by his (Ewing's) friends in order to defeat his (Converse's) nomination. Mr. Converse, he thougnt, had done lin great {njustice. In this conuection {t might be well to add that the fant being made against Converse is not in the Interest uf any spectal cand{date, and from the best information obtainable it is thought Mr, Converse tight, with as equal pro- pricty, charge the friends of other candidates with working for his defeat os tocharge wing's feiends with it, The more shrewd and far-sce- ing Democrats admit that, with Converse as a enndidate for Governor, they directly Invite the Republicans to change the Issue of the cam- aign from fluance to the old Warquestion, and That Af they ere to furnish the Republicans with: minmunition they deserve to be defeated.
