Opinions of General Taylor on the Tariff
According to a LOcOfOc0 Editor.
From the Hickman (Ky) Standard, Nov. o.
BATON ROUGE, La, Oct rs.

could not leave Baton Rouge without making
pilgrimage to the plantation which owns Rough
and Ready as its lord. A friend who accompanied
me introduced the tat chubby. old gentleman,
who desires above all earthly things to be made
our President, and for couple of hours enjoyed
the privilege of converslng with Cen Taylor
You will remember that few weeks ago visited
Gen. Cass at his residence in Michigan, and you
will admit that, far as am competent to Judge,
have had pretty fair opportunity of comparing
the two men, who claim the highest office in the
gift of the American people. Taylor, in point of
talents and conversational ability constantly re-
minds US of Kentucky squire, who, In the large
room of his country mansion, administers justice
in broken doses to his neighbors. There Is not
the slightest vestige of the statesman about him;
the contrary, you are all the time astonlshed at
the absence of that sort of precise information in
regard to our national affairs which is indlspensa-
BILE to the executive of such country ours
For instance, in talking about the tariff, observ
ed that Gen. Taylor put down the revenue derived
from the duty upon imports for the last fiscal year,
at SIX millions below the real amount; and he said
that the Mexican war would swallow up all our
revenue Tor many years to come. With all this, |
found our host pleasant, agreeable old man, one
whose manners and address are well calculated
to make favorable impression on those who have
no love for the court fashionable circles; and If
he should be elected, he will be happy man until
his Inauguration, and miserable ever afterwards.

APPOINTMENTS BY GENERAL TAYLoR.-An extract
OF letter from leading citizen of LOUISIANA
New ORLEANS, Nov. 10, 1913.
The policy which General Taylor will pursue IN
OF his leading friends here may be taken as indi-
cations to be that he will leave it to all the
Taylortes of each State to agree among them
selves, IN the presentation of suitable and proper
candidates. 1t is openly asserted, and think with
his approval, that he will have nothing to do with
choosing between the conflicting claims of the
multtudinous applicants: If this policy Is adhered
to, and have little doubt of it, the General may
unconcealed horror of the doctrine, that "to the
vIctors belong the spolls.'' give you this as an
item of news, which you may use as you see
proper.
