Landors was a intstake, I know it then ag woll aa I am convinced of it now, and did all that E could, in my humble way to defeat bls nomlna- tion, I havo hothing dersonul against Mr, Landers, but I did that he was the man to lead a great party In a close State In a terrible political contest, He lacked thosu essential qualifications of Jead- ership which are so necessary in a political Aight, and his public record was susceptible of much ad) eritielsm, ‘Ther was noth- ing about him to Inspire a man with that en- thuslusm which is so destrable.

It wou the other way with our [ato caudidate for Governor, Tho Greenbuekers voted agalnet Mr. Landers OUT OF PURE CUB8EDNESS, They charged that ho sold them out {1 18 and blamed him for not having the Dei crata tofudorse De La Matyr for Congress In this dlatrict. ‘Chey blamed him wrongfully, but nevertheless they did so. Hindslghtis much better than foresight, and itiseasy I know to speculate after im election, But there was some foresight In the Jate campalgn notheeded, The National Demoeratic Committee neglected Indiana three weeks too lung. When the Conunittes saw the helpless condition the Democrats Were In it should not have delayed an Instant In taking proinpt action {nstenl! of walting to Accomplish n purpose, What that purpose Was it is atthis thie unnecessary to spent, When the National Comnilttee was satisfied that the Repiblicans were using all of their machinery and ald tocarry Indiana It should pave met them with ail the ald in its power, AN INEXCUSANLE BLUNDER for the National Comittee to make the fight it did make for Maine and Ohfo when a close Democratic State, upon which the hopes of the National Demoerney were centered, was being overrun with inen and money, and stood trembling in the balance. Maine and Ohio were Republican States, ‘Thelr golnj Republican mnounted to nothing. It didnot In the lenst affect the Presidential situation, Indiana and New York were the only two Northern States required to elect Gen. fan- cock, The loss of Indinna was near- jy everything. No chanees should have been taken, “Sufficient aid should have been extended, and in time to make It se- cure. It was the jack-pot on the political ganibling table, nid all the States were hn playing for the guine. The National Demo- cratle Cunmittes held the winning cards, but LOST THE POT BY A FMIGHTFUL, HORRIBLE MISPLAY, But let that pass, ‘That fearful deal is over; now let us look fit the next hand. After the November clection I shall write up the inside manaement of the Inte State cam- palgn. Ido not give up Indinna to Gartield, though the fight to gatn it wil be tremendous. Hancock i yo ts was yesterday, and from from the day of his nomination 10,000 votes Atronger In Indiana than Mr, Landers, There ia no doubt of this, not the silghtest iu the world. If the Democrats will only stand firm, shoulder to shoulder, and work with yntieln and unceasing ener fy: they will redeem Indlana in November. They will certainly try. to dothis, Thestakes Are worth the effort. “We are not defeateds it Isouly asetback.

Franking Frauds at Washington Treason in the South—Notes of 6,000 Miles’ Travels, To tha Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Evanston, [ll., Oct. 15,—Gen. Ifancock’s letter on Southern war clalms recalls 9 re- muarkaole conversation between himself nd aparty of Southerners some weeks ago, which occurred in my presence, ‘She re marks than made show exactly the attituda of the South in case of Democratle success. I called on Gen. Hancock on" yisitora’ day.’ As uaual, a large number of Southerners were presont. If necessary, I can refer to an issue of the New York Herald, contaluing o list of the names of all persons. Suilice It to say that twenty-three Southerners and myself happened to call at the same tine, I can reproduce the conversation verbatim, because, while seeming to be describing the room and Its contents, I was rently engaged in rapidly noting down everything of siznifi- ennee uttered, ‘There was treachery, open: mouthed, lurking there, and [ had {cellng that at sume thine in tho future the fate of the Natlon might hang on the sayings of the hour, I was not mistaken, for now I know that the whole alin of the Democracy In this campaizn is Southern supremacy, and that Southern supremacy means nv dark future to all that ls dear to the Joyal heart. The central figure among the visitors was Thonias O'Conner, of the National Domo- cratic Committee,—a giant almost in form, rivaling Honcock’s portly figure in more than one respect, It ovcurred to me, too, thatour Republican papers had misled the popular mind in regard to the great beauty of Hancock, Ils mustache was thin, halt white and half yellow. His nose was whisky red, and his breath bore out the color of hls proboscis in every respect. His voico was Hatin conversation, but afterward gruit tosoue “common” soldiers earning thelr $13 per month by hard Inbur on kinbrove- ments in progress on the island. When Gen. Unneoek entered the room he shook hands with his acquaintances and armed the nume of erch one unknown to lr. “My name,” sala a gentleman from Mary- land, “is J. W.C., 4 friend and nelghbor of Gen. —, your classinate at West Point.” Hanenek's face benned with pleasure ng hesaid: “Atal 1 well remember him; he was a prominent General on your side dur+ Ing the War, Lam golnyg down there to shoot atiall with hin ere fons” ‘There was a stile all around at_ this, as many remembered that only 2 few years ngo je Was after larger game In the sanie region. However, f had a hope in mind that he might lave n few days to stop on his way to Salt River in Noveinber, “Gentlemen,” sald Hancock, taking a posi- tion In the centre of the group, “how do you udimire iny grounds; are they not uhead of the crowded oily Just over thera?” All indulged heartily in expressions of ad- miration, “Do you not think,” ho continued, “ that it Is too bud to remove me to Washington from such a place?” ‘There was a knowing laugh all around. “Washington,” he went on, “Isa bad point of residence, Itis aftiicted with malaria, ty Q home for no one, but a well from which all kinds of peaule drink, Bad ors it is, though, we will taxe ital in in November just the same,” There was n hearty laugh at thls sally.

H.,. “ ttmust be so, slico T desire to follow the line of march of my frlend, the lamented Stonewall Jackson.” . - ‘There was great applause at Uic name of Jackson, * : “We shall carry Tennesea by 60,000 ma- fority,t sald O'Conner, “Wo didn’t let that Virginia spilt get aeross the border, Wo nipped itin the bud. We propose to carry the State by that majority under any clr- cumstances; by incthunls best known and tried by 1a." (ule with emphasis.) ‘“Phe Republicans,” sald Gen, IL,“ bave all the offices and a magniticent organization, but as things stand (referring to tho Solid Suuth), we can beat them.” : Just here came a climax that so startled ine ns to cause me to tremble in every limb, O'Cunner spoke, and every eyo bent on him with sudden interest, When we get in power,’ ha remarked, ‘we will behave for four years, until we get started, and then dann ‘em! This sliniileant remark from the noted leader, given with ‘fiery eye and impatient vesture, was greeted by the circle now stund- ing excitedly around him with an old thno Hebel yell. With 180,000 offices under Confederato patrons e, a Solid South, a majority nt both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court, and O'Conner well knew that no vawer of the ballot-box could prevent the Srigadiers from electing n man after their own heart In 84, and draining the ‘Treasury for Southern clalms, ‘To satafy my own mind as to the state of things In tho South, I hurried away on a Pennsylvania Central train for Virginia.

How justly ho suspected them wag proved by the ormic which followed Offenbach’s sitting down to the pinno. Inspired by his magic fingers, his guests danced the most. ferocious can-can ever ae by ‘a itmited con stituency—in America.
