O. DO you feel particular interest In the politics
A. The same interest suppose, as is felt by the
average citizen Of the United states who intends to live
in this couptry and leave his children TO live in IT,
Q. find Office holders given to vagucncss in their
Can't you tell mo something about the stua-
ton here?
A What do you wish to know II have any in
formation in your limo you welcome it.
O. Well, to begin with, what do you think Of tho
called Morton movement?
A. think it q movement which everybody expected
and which needs no apoogists Morton Is certainly
ono OF the urst men in tho republican party, and
think movement on the part OF his frends--or even
on his part-to give him the management OF a
nation he has labored so well or to give HIM chance
carry out the principles for which every republican
must accord him praise, is perfectly natural and honor
able.
O. know but do you regard it rs important
enough here In Kentucky to Affect the delegation
Cincinnati?
A. Most surely do not l would as soon think Of
IN Indiana delegation for Blame
Are there any government officials here who favor
Mortons nomination.
A. Quite likely.
q. Who thoy?
A. don't know, and wouldn tell you II did
have been told that there SUCH but their prefer
enccs are much their their wives and babeA
Q. Who Morton's supporters in Louisville?
A. tell you, young man, have not the specific in
formation you seck ! have been informed by some
men, whose only pleasurabIe SENSATION Is that of
ALARM that Morton stirring about among the
mil hiking votcrs-the blacksmith must be told all
they know Of candidates, and trying to work up
sentiment Tor Morton and against Bristow but all
the real effect their operations will have they might
well spend their time selling Sankey's songs IN Paia-
gonna.
A. II at all in dead earnest Horace Scott is not
OF the half hearted kind
O. Is 1t true that he has spoken for Bristow?
A. lie told mo he was as good Bristow man rs there
was IN Kentucky; that I. anybody said he was trying
create sentiment against Brisow or told hat no
wanted to 60 a delegate to operate for Morton
against Bristow such man told damned lie Several
have INDUCED In the remark that Scott Is Morton
man, but since has told that he is specifically
against Brst0w | can't give you the Of any
considerable number OF damned lars suppose nothing
would suit you better than such specified list. since
you have such strong dislike for things vague and
general
O. No only want to know II Colonel Scott is really
working Tor Morton, as have understood?
A. Well can only say that such is tho general
opinion; have told you what Scott said 10 me; l
know him 10 be a good republican,; he WIS
member OF Governor Andrews Council in
sachuse;ts-a another ''war Governor" but
who died before these times OF picking
and choosing, he would have been head and shout

Yes and thai fact speaks well for him. but that
won't nominate him. The Kentucky republicans hope
tor his nomination and Will work 10 effect II, as
the Indiana republicans VIII to effect the
nomination OF Norton but the success OF either de-

The democrats talk Bristow and perhaps many OF
them would vote for him; but Their opinions VIII not
nominate their votes elect him.
q Mr.. Thomas Bradley says no Is for Brstow, but
thinks Morton the best because he has done
Tor his party than any other 81 lie members.
A. Well Bradley knows moro about politicians than
do, bat II strikes me that party conventions generally
dominate the man that the party will do the most To
elect What The party viii 10 Tor the Is just
OF more importance TO the republicans than what the
man has done Tor the party. II You were TO choose
