CONGRESSMAN WREN INTER-
VIEWED.
A weak Endorsement Of the Admin.
fstrattOn.


fstration.
While In Carson the other day Con
gresham Wren suffered himself to b.
interviewed at the Ornsby House by
reporter Of the Morning appeal. /
will be seen that Mr.. Wren fights sh,
of an up and up Endorsement OF th,
Presidents policy. As a matter O
party policy he thinks it is perhap.
best not to kick, but beyond this b,
does not go. We have always under.
stood from his friends here, that ht
was pronounced in his opposition tc
the Administration. But TO the inter.
view:
Rep. Mr.. Wren, what Is your feel.
ing in regard to the Southern policy OF
the President?
Mr.. Wren. Well, l think that Mr..
Hayes is honest in the policy he has
adopted. / believe that his course has
been adopted with a view to perfect a
more harmonious feeling between the
two sections of our country; but
doubt whether his policy will termin-
ate successfully in the end. His acts
are irretrievable, and it would be sui
cidal to say the least, to institute a war
against the Administration which is
using its utmost efforts Il create a
more thorough and better feeling be-
tween the North and South. No pos
sible good can accrue from a fierce op.
position, while the result NAV lot
only rebound to the detriment of the
Republican party, but against the best
interests of the nation. / believe IL to
be the duty of every Republican in
both Houses TO act in harmony with
the President.
Rep. Do you think that the general
policy of MI. Hayes will encounter
any material distractions during tt g
next regular session of Congress?
Mr.. Wren. / do not. i believe that
the Presidents official conduct las
met with the approval Of the people at
large.
Rep. What do you think the COM
plexion of the next Senate will be?
Mr.. Wren. 1t is difficult to say.
The Democrats may organize, If Sena
tor Morton's health precludes his be-
ing present; but the general political
outlook is a little cloudy. Yet / be.
lieve that both Democrats and Repub-
leans acquiesce in the Presidents pol.
icy, deeming 1t to be directed toward a
better state of feeling than has been
experienced for the past decade and a
half. The most ultra Democrats
the country are indorsing
the official acts OF Mr.. Hayes, and have
faith in the conscientiousness of his
purpose. / repose the most implicit
confidence 10 his fealty to the Repub.
lican party, and regard him a sound
Republican.
Rep. Will you sustain the Presi-
dent IN his past official acts?
Mr.. Wren. | will make no captious
to acts that have been car
ried into effect. His Southern policy
overtures cannot be undone.
Rep. What are your views respect
ing the metallic monetary standard of
the country?
Mr.. Wren. l am i'm favor of a double
not because 1 am a repre-
sentative Of a silver producing State,
lie veal. The decentralization act was
through Congress with
out the Importance Of the sub
bCibk thhCh utIooi DIODtI
advisement, or with the requisite con-
sideration. The result Of the passage of
hat iDjudicious act was an injury to
the poorer classes, while 1t benefited
only a few Rrasping spectators in
street. The question of double OF
single standard always had received
Insignificant attention at the hands OF
Congress until Senator Jones made the
vitality of the subject felt.
Rep. The impression has gained
ground that you favor the erection of
buildings in the eastern part of
The State; is that true?
Mr.. Wren. No, sir, it is not. l be-
live, and have always expressed my
to that effect, that the Capt.
tai Of the State is the proper place for
buildings, and l shall exert
my influence 10 have them erected
here if their construction proves nee
Rep. Do you think that the import.
of this State will warrant the ex-
penditure consequent upon the erection
Of public buildings?
Mr.. Wren. do. Federal buildings
have been erected in States of lesser
Importance, from every standpoint,
and my firm belief is that Nevada
should also have them.
Rep. When do you go East, sir.
Mr.. Wren. l leave for Washington
on the first proximo, to be there in
lime fort the extra session of Congress,
meets on the fifteenth of Oct.
Dber. After a few further remarks our
reporter kindly thanked Mr.. Wren and
,ook his departure.
