The Hon. William d. Kelley, of Penn
sylvaRia, is to-day one Of the foremost men
in the Republican party. AS the leader of
the tariff party in the House of Represents
atives, and prominent member of the
Committee of Ways and Means, he is re-
garded as occupying high position in that
body. Mr.. Kelley is now in this city, with
his family, on visit. Recognizing the fact
that his views on the aspect of political az
fairs in the East, and especially of the gu
bernatorial contest in Pennsylvania, would
have considerable significance, in view of
his reputation as shrewd and far-seeing
politician, Chronicle reporter was detailed
TO wait upon him and apply the metaphors
cal pump. The reporter called upon Mr..
Kelley, at the Grand Hotel, and was cor
daily received. In the conversation which
ensued Nr. Kelley spoke guardedly, and
was particularly careful to avoid all allu-
sions of personal character.
HIS MOVEMENTS.
In answer to question by the reporter,
Mr.. Kelley said: IL shall only remain here
few days and then | mean to go to
Truckee as one stage of the journey, and
Salt Lake the next, and then stop at Lara
mic, where shall spend the fall" as
Repo,ter-ls not that rather dull
place !?
.ladge Kelley-Yes, but 60 for the at
mosphere, and besides, have friends there,
DIR. Latham, at Laramie, and Gen. Bradley,
at Fort Sanders, three miles Oft. camped
out with them last year, and shall 60 and
see them now in order to hunt and ride and
yegetate generally.
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
Rcporr-Judge, if you can give me
some hints as TO the political aspect at the
East with reference to the Presidential
campaign, | should be delighted to lay
them before the people of California, and
more particularly in reference to the Guber-
material campaign in Pennsylvania. heard
you say a few moments ago in conversation
with Senator Cole, that even if Buckalew
should be elected Governor of Pennsylvania
on the Democratic tcketNswould not in your
opinion impair Gen. Grants chances in that
state at the November election?
Judge Kelley Not in the slightest.
Reporter.-As take it, then, the feel
ing there is purely personal against Hart
ranit, the Republican candidate, and not
one that will be allowed to affect the ma
tional campaign. e.
