Ttie conversation opened with, a remark from the reporter that' the GeueraJ's late speech before the caucus at Colnoibns hap been the subject of considerable comment by Democrats in - Washington some of whom said it sounded hke the openint; of another campaign on the part of the Gen eral against the party. To this .General Bwiug replied; I simply said in the caucus that the Democrats ot the West atd Son lb might as well make up their minds to do without tbi Democracy of New Jersey, flew York and the New Eugland States iu the next Presidential campaign. .Reporter But co we elect a Presi dent without thene S ates ? General Eing Yjs, I think so. We can carry the States of Ohio, Michigan. Indiana and Wisconsin ou the Wt-etem idea, and elect a president without the aid of the Eiet. , Reporter Do you anticipate a split in vue uexi national democratic convention on the financial question ? . General E I think it not improbable The Western aud S mthern idea is bound to prevail iu the ntxt convention. What the East will do under these circumstan ces remains to be seen. Why, we can no more earry the States of Ouio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin, on a platform satisfactory to-'the' 'Eastern', democracy than we caD fly. . It is out of the ones tion. lhe new national party would sweep in and capture the votes of the Western democracy everywhere. Kepprter Do you mean the working men s party, so-cauea r General E.- Yea, that is the basis of what is now an orgamzitioa styling iteelt the national party. And it is growing Look at the strength it developed the last election In PeniiRylvauia alone it polled over ou.uuu votes it is organized on ideas ou finance similar to those enter tained by the democracy of the West and South, and will naturally tak our votes from us if we adopt the Eastern idea in our platform, Keporttr Then you think the West and South' will cut loose from the E.iet ? General E -No; I only say that if we expect to hold New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, we must do it n a plat form on the money question v biqi would lone us Ohio, Indiana and the West Reporter Were you much disappoint ed in the result of the Uhro senatcria fi'ht? .

If such influences were brousbt to bear.1 1 had no knowl ede of the fact. Id concluEion, Gen Ewing remarked "The New York Tribune and the Balti more San of yesterday, commenting on my speech at Colutnbus, made before the. - caucus held prior to the late senatorial caucus in that ciiy,' .state; that I said iu thatfneech- that the committee of the present Hou6e were packed in the inter ests of capitalists, and therefore place me in the attitude of attacking Speaker Ran dall. What I did say in that speech was that in the House, under the , former or ganizition, the committees were constitu tad so as to be oDDOsed to the repeal of 1 the resumption act and the ' remonetiz tion of silver, but that the committee on bankinc and currency, under the present organization, fullv represented the views rt ihu Aamnp.TAav. and nromot and suita ble action was the result. So ; far from my remarks reflecting on the organizition an pffp.ted bv Mr Randall, they were highly commendatory thereof.". . 1 ' THE O BEAT WAR.

Waphinot n, Jan. 10 An amusing and mterestiug scjne was witnessed this after noon in the corridor between the Senate Chamber and the marble room. Ssnator Conkling came out to see a gentleman who sent m his card to him. ' Before the gentleman could step up, Mr. Conkling wbn ooaity surrounded by some twenty or thir ty ot the strong-minded women who had. aespite tne tnorts ot the doorkeepers to prtvent them, pushed past into the corri dor. At, the head of tnem was Mrs. Isa bella Beecher Hooker. They buttou-holed the Senator in the most forcible style, and when he found that he could neither ad vance nor retrace his sttps without coming in violent collision with some ' of hia tor mentors, be was fain to stand still and listen, lhey appealed to him by all the galUntry and Cuivairy for which he was so famous, to allow tnem to appear at the bar ot tne o.-uate and plead ineir cause' They told him that Vice President Wheel er had said that it would be very ui gaN taut and discourteous for any Senator to refuse such a modest request. Mr; Conkling said it would be setting a pr cedent, under which the Senate cuuld uot refuse to allow any one with a petition to appear at the bar aud argue on the sub ject. Mrs. Hooker said, "We represent eight millious ot citizens of the United States who are basely defrauded of . their rights. You are a man who have your rights, and we ask and demand of you that you help us to get ours." Mr. Conkling said he was always glad to help the ladies in everything, luen some twenty of them iu chorus said, "Ixive m our rights. After this they became more demonstra tive than ever, aud came so close to the a . . l . .. otjuaiui tuab me position was rainer em barrassing to a modest man.
