INTERVIEW OF HON. THOMAS WREN
CONGRESSMAN ELECT.

= at washington, arrived III our city on Sunday
morning last. Our reporter was sent in quest
of the Congressional gentleman, to CLEAN for
: the benefit of his constituency, some of his
| most salient views respecting the Administra-
) ton ETC. Our representative was received
| with the greatest degree of suavity at the
Ormsby Honse by Mr.. Wren, who expressed
his willingness to impart all the information
! respecting his views and feelings desired for
the readers of the MORNING APPEAL. The
following are substantially his statements
Rep. Mr.. Wren, what is your feeling in
regardto the Southern policy of the President?
Mr.. Wren. Well, think that Mr. Hayes
is honest in the policy he has adopted. l be-
lieve that his course has been adopted with
view to perfect more harmonious feeling be-
tween the two sections of our country; but
doubt whether his policy will terminate sue
cessfuly in the end. His acts are irretrieva-
BILE, and it would be suicidal to say the least
to institute war against the Administration
which is using it's utmost efforts to create
more thorough and better feeling between the
North and the South No possible good can
accrue from fierce opposition, while the re-
suit may not only rebound to the detriment
Of the Republican party, but against the bes
interests of the nation. believe it to be the
duty of every Republican, in both Houses, to
act in harmony with the President
Rep. Do yon think that the general policy
of DIR. Hayes will encounter any material OBJ
structions during the next regular session of |
Congress?
Mr.. Wren. / do not. I believe that the
Presidents official conduct has met with the
approval of the people at large.
Rep. What do you think the complexion
of the next Senate will be7
Mr.. Wren 1t is difficult to say. The
Democrats may organize, if Senator Mortons
health precludes his being present but the
general political outlook is little cloudy
Yet believe that both Democrats and Re
publicans will acquiesce in the Presidents
policy, deeming it to be directed toward
better state of feeling than has been expert
enced for the past decade and half The
most ultra Democrats throughout the country
are endorsing the official acts of Mr.. Hayes,
and have faith in the consciousness of his
purpose. Irepose the most implicit conf
dence in his fealty to the Republican party,
and regard him sound Republican. {
Rep. VIII you sustain the President in 7
his past official acts r
Mr. Wren. l will make no captious oppo. :
siton to acts that have been carried into effect.
His Southern policy overtures cannot be I'M t
done.
Rep. What are your views respecting the s
metallic monetary standard of the country
Mr.. Wren. am in favor of double stand O
ard not because am representative of IL
silver producing State, but on general princ- l, l,
oles for the public veal. The demonitiza- O
ion act was slipped through Congress without
he Importance of the subject being taken un- tt
Ter proper advisement, or with the requisite q
consideration. The result of the passage of NJ
hat lnJudlclous act was an injury to TIE la
'oorer classes while it benefited only few tt
rasping spectators in Wall street. The
question of double or single standard always u
ad received Insignificant attention at the |,
ands of Congress until Senator Jones made -,
he vitality of the subject felt, n
Rep, The impression has gained ground AZ
hat you favor the erection of public buildings
! the eastern part of the State is that true?
Mr.. Wren No, Sir, it is not believe, III
nd have always expressed my conviction to TO
nat effect, that the Capital of the State is the Gu
roper place for Federal buildings, and shall "
xert my influence to have them erected here
their construction proves necessary Cc
Rep. Do you think that the Importance of MI
lis State will warrant the expenditure conse- U.
uent upon the erection of public buildings
Mr.. Wren. I do. Federal buildings have Wi
sen erected in States of lesser Importance, for
ON every standpoint, and my firm belief is tel
lat Nevada should also have them.
Rep When do you go East, Sir?
Mr., Wren leave for Washington on the ot'
st proximo, to be there in time for the extra 0e
ssion of Congress, which meets on the 18th
October After few further remarks our ex1
porter kindly thanked Mr.. Wren and took sig
s departure. :
