Tho number of visitors nt tho executive chamber to-doy was very large. Many additional con gratulatory telegrams wero received by the governor. Grasp, Chicago, November 10.—Tho present osti mote as to tbc complexion of tbo illioois stato legislature is that it will bo a tio on joint ballot, the senate having a majority of ono re publican and tho houao a majority of one chmocrat.

The republicans talk about the poor material to pick from. If you take Bayard, Carlisle, Randall, Thurman, Morrison, Mc Donald and men of that stamp I think we nee d not fear as to tho question of Cleveland's cabinet. Whether he should not give a strong mon for tho independent republicans is a question to bo considered.’’ Virginia Eating Barbecued Meat, Alkxaxdma, Vtt., November 12.—Tho all- dsy celebration of tbo democrats of this city in honor of tho election of Cleveland and Hendricks was the grandest affair of the kind tbst ever occurred.here.

Bostox Mass., November 17, 2 n. m.—To The Coxstitctiox: Tho Journal prints this morning an interview by a staff correspondent with Mr. Bltftao at Augusta yesterday, upon the causes of his defeat. Mr. Blaino prefaced his analysis of the campaign by remarking that his regret over the democratic triumph was altogether for his party and his country, not for himself. “I lived too near tho presidency in 1881,” he said, “and have too keen a some of its bur dens, its embarrassment and its perils to bo unduly anxious for the office.” ACCOUXTIXO EOB XKW TURK. “How do you account for tho closouois of tho result in New York?" was asked. “Well,considering tho loss by tho bolt of tho independent republicans, and tbo far larger loss from tho action of tho republican pro hibitionists, tho wonder at first sight is that the democrats did not carry tho stato by a largo majority, as they coniidontly expected they would. This result Was prevented by the great accession to tho republican ranks of tbo Irish and Irish American voters and workingmon of all classes, who sustained mo bocauso of my advocacy of a protective tariff. They bollovo, and boliovo wisely, that freo trade would rcduco thoir wages.” THE IRISH VOTE. “You really think, then, that j*ou received a considerablo Irish voto in New York." “Ob, I bad thousands upon thousands,” re sponded Mr. Blaiue, “and should have had many moro, but for tbo intolerant and utterly improper remark of Dr. Burchard, which was quoted everywhere to my prejudice aud ia many places attributed to me, though it. was in tho highost degree distasteful and offensive to mo. But a Ho, you know, travel.! very fast, and there was not time before tho election to over* take and correct tbat ono, and so I suffered for it.” “But jlo you think tho Irish-American voto was organized at all, or hud competent lead ers?” was asked. “Yes,” said Mr. Blaine. “I was dconly im pressed by tho ability, tho earnestness and sincerity of those whom I met.

In Pennsylvania I re ceived an enormous Irish vote, some of the counties bithorto strongly domocratio having been completely reveriod in their popular majorities by the ohango of the Irish in favor ot the republican tioket. This, however, ie courso duo in part to tho fact that stood so distinctly os the representa tive of protection to American industry,! an idea which - prevails with moro forco in ^Pennsylvania than in any other state.” A NO TIIXX THE GKRVAXS. “But did you not lose correspondingly in tho German vote?” “Not at all” repliod Mr. Blaine. “All through the west tho Germans supported me nobly. How else could I have parried Chi cago by nino thousand, Cincinnati by five thousand. Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa have the largest German population in the west, and | carried them by splen did majorities. Such able ami influential Ger man editors as Mark Breit, in Cincinnati Kauffman in Cleveland, Proctorious in 8L Louis, and many others brought great strength to the republican cause. There was an im mense effort made to prejudice the Germane •gainst me but it failed. They are a wonder fully cool beaded people, inflexible, honest in their conclusions, and just in their judgment, and I have abundant reason to thank them for their generous support. I shall not soon forget it. At different points in the west 1 found German and Irish clubs cordially united in public demonstration.” tbr ai.a uk ox ST. roe*. The conversation drifted back to New York, and Mr. Blaine was asked if bethought the prohibitionists were honest in their support of John. “I have never, during the campaign,” said Mr. Blaine, “reflected upon the motives ot any man, and I shall not do so. I content my self with ssying that I think tbs prohibition ists were misled, and tbst they did not cor rectly measure the possible result of this course. I received from many of them the assurance that my candidacy made their action difficult because they really wanted to vote for me, but they seemed to be under the strange delusion tbat the temperance cause could be promoted by supporting their own pruden tial ticket, and by their course they tufluenved prejudicially the national issues whioh wore really at stake.” ‘•You attribute tho close vote in New York, then,. Mr. Blaine, solely to the action of the independents and tho prohibitionists." AND IT WAS A KAlKY DAY TOO. “Np,’not solely," replied Mr. Blaino, “ac cording to the number of letters I have re ceived from central and western Now York it Would seem that the rainy day lessened tho republican voto. The democratic majorities lie in’the cities, whoreb y a few minutes Valk on a good pavement a man reaches hil polling place. The republican majorities are in tho country, where numbers live three, four, or even fivo miles from tho polliug place, which on flection day had to be reached over rn.uldy ror.ds and in a great rain-storm.
