lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. pam interview with Sena-
tor Kelly of Oregon has been printed lie is reported
to have said that he has cOncealment to make as
to his course with reference TO the electoral matter
Although not in Oregon when the question OF Wattss
eligibility was raised, he returned there from San
Francisco Immediately upon hearing OF it. lie is
clear that Watts was not elected, and takes the
ground that there was no choice of an elcctor, and
that under the laws of the State the election
in that case devolved upon the Legislature. Gov.
Grover, he says did not agree with him, but held
that the three eligible candidates having the highest
number of votes were chosen. Consequently he
issued the certificate to Cronin, who had seven more
votes than any other Democrat. Senator Kelly is re-
ported to say that public opinion in Oregon In his
Judgment, generally sUstains the Governor. lie
denies the truthfulness of the reports of any
excitement outside of what he calls the
narrow circle of ofiee-holders in both
parties and says that he found that the excite
ment was greater the further he got away from Ore
CON. He does not think that Growers reputation
and influence in the State have been injured by bis
course. Senator Kelly is reported to have admitted
that Cronins course had been manifesty prescribed
for him. and that Miller aud Parker, the two other
men whom CrOnin selected after organizing himself
into an electoral college, were near at hand, by pre-
yious arrangement, ready to be called in. Senator
Kelly evidently does not think that CrOnln acted
