MI V. said there can be no more DO
Hueal campaigns fought on the issues
OF the last few years. They are dead,
ana II the Democratic party refuses
TO move to the front to accept the new
oruer OF things it will simply pass
away and some other party made up
OF the earnest, progressive clements
OF both the old parties will take pos
session Of the government. When
asked if he did not think the cam
paign of 1872 would be fought on the
present issues, he said, ''That may be
undertaken by our party, but it will
fail. Agar ago Grant gave promise
of his intention to lead the Republi-
can party into q new departure, and
he would have doneit but a gang of
old politicians at Washington. held
him back they scared him with CAB
BILE about defeat until he went square
back into the old routes. Grant is an
honest man, and would do right if the
politicians would let him, but that
they won't do. He took the back
track on the San Domingo question,
in which, apart from corrupt means
used, he was clearly right. tell you
sir, that annexation of territory and
the control OF all outlying fragments
Of this continent is the destiny of the
American people. We shall have
San Domingo, Cuba and Mexico, and
all the rest, mark that. We missed
the greatest chance that we ever had
In not getting Cuba during the Span

then for mere asking, and in q few
years we would have been owners of
the richest and most productive piece
OF territory in the world. Why . they

His denial of disunion views Mr.. V.
thrice repeated, with marked empha-
sis. In reply to a remark Of his IN
terrogatOr, that he did not see now
with the hatred exhibited toward him
by the dead issue Democracy, he could
stay in that party, he smiled and said ;
"Why, what can / do? The Repub-
lican party won't. move forward It
wants 70 stick to its old clothes, and
my best hope is to get the Democracy
to the front. However, there IS no
telling what three hundred and sixty
five days may bring forth; and Of
one thing 1 am certain: II the Dem
Ocratic party fails TO become the party
OF progress and advanced political
ideas, and /, from convictions, decide
to act with any other party, that
other political party will never stop to
inquire what my past political record
has been. Parties don't manage
things in that way"
The interviewer says: "Ibose who
read may cOnstrue this expression as
they please. 1 write it almost verba-
tim as he spoke it. The speakers

meant all he said. The same senti-
ment was subsequently reported in
various forms during our converse

half an hour
