Mr. 1t surprises everybody The i'm

and one OF them gave me- this IA his reason: He
sad he did not caro- whether the imitation
was 80 600 or 500, ,ooo, 900, but what he
cared about was tbe precedent that it set for any
subsequent pressure to open the doors still
] more. In yetoing the bill, President Grant has
been thoroughly consistent with every public ut

Reporter-Have you heard any expressions of
oplnlon as to its result on the party by politicians
in Chicago7
Mr. - No. It ia too early yet Az said be-
fore, think it is too early to determi ne the ef-
fact Of the message upon the status Of the par

1ect. that the Republican party is the only Or
1t will take more than these small things that
have been occurring TO disrupt or break It up on
anE general election involving the Administra-

may be crazy on that subject, but have looked
at it q great deal, and that Ia my yiew. Then
do not bolieva any NM can speculate about poli-
tics with this Temperance question ali over tha
country. the Granger question and Anti-Monopo-
ly, and this currency question added on. and If
any man is wise enough to tell what is going to
happen next fall, want to see him aud fiud out.
The reporter next went to the Custom Houae.
and saw Judge Glover, United States States District
Attorney
Repofter-What is your opinion. judge of the
Presidents veto :?
Judge Glover-I am inclined to think that
Grant WAS encouraged to veto the bill bY some
OF it's friends. The Knox bill had q good deal to
do with It, They began to be spp1ehena;ya that
the effect of the bill would be different from
what they supposed and I douht whather II
would have been vetoed but for that. And it ia
probable enough that thev hnve agreed unon
some plan-or enough of them-to carry through,
the House bill in shape that will be acceptaE}e
to the President, and less Objectionable to the
Reporter-Wlnt effect will the veto have upon
the Republican party?
Judge Glover-I have no opinion about that.
l do not think it will make any difference with
the party. According to my view there is this
trouble about questions I have not seen anv
political organization that ia likely to beat the
Republican party, In order to do it. there mnsr
be party with an organization that ia pretty
near perfect and in shape. In the old days of
the Democratic party Il was we'll oreanized hnt
that party does not exist nny mora IN tbjs conn
try. There has not been Democratic psrty for
ton or fifteen years with such an organization "a
It had in Jacksou's days.
Reporter-WilI the veto c1eate dissension in
the Republicau paztv?
Judqe Gloyer-Not in nv iudpment- Thera
will be futter for the time being. but Il viii
not last long.
