GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCHI
WASHINGTON, Aug. This afternoon The Star
published an interview with the Hon. Charles FOs-
ter of Ohio on the political situation That gentle
man is at present lin the absence Of Secretary Cor
ham) performing duties in the Republican Campaign
Committee rooms. Mr. Foster said he had been
somewhat misrepresented on the subject of making
light of the Presidents Southern policy. He had
said that the measures of Cancellation adopted by
the President were not successful he had hoped
they would be. He does some promise in the In
dependent movement, which seems to be sIringmg
up in the South, but does not, however, see any
great result from the policy of reconciliation. The
report mentions that Mr.. Foster remarked that he
still believes there is a solid South.
He also said OF course the President has friends
In Ohio. The mass of the party is not i'll accord
with him there, though THIS is the result as much
Of disappointment at the manner in which he has
distributed public patronage, as Of disagreement
with bis Southern and Civil Service policies Not
withstanding his course the great mass of our peO
ole believe in his honesty Of character and political
sOundness.D
In answer to the inquiry, What has been the eff
feet Of the gerrymander in OhiOT Dir. Foster said
That remains TO be told after the elections. IL 49,
IL intended to be, somewhat disastrous TO the
Republican party It is not acceptable even to the
Democrats themselves. The result has been long
aud bitter controversies over nominations. IL has
engeBdered good deal Of bad feeling on all sides"
lie further SAID that OficehOlders were responding
70 political assessments.

These seem uctuate less, with shipments OF
grain When the shipments were large buying was

With District of Mississippi, If he is properly sup

Work has already commenced in aid of political
movements of an Independent character in the
various Southern States. Judge Edmunds says that
there are a number of prominent Southern men who
are willing to run for Congress from Southern dis
trcts in opposition to the advocates of the "shot-
gun" policy, and he has no hope that the Republl-
cans can succeed in the Southern States except by
aiding these He says il is better TO assist
serVatlve native-born SOutherners, and thus break
up the strength of the Bourbon advocates Of mob
law and persecution than to do nothing. as the Re
publican party had about made up its mind to do IN
many OF the Southern States.

RATION ROUGE. La, Aug. IA conference between
e supporters of the three candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for State Treasurer held this
morning and 1t was decided that trial ballots
should be taken in convention, one between Burke
and Moncure an danother between Richardson and
Moncure, the decision to be reached by estimating
the highest msjorities attained by any given candi-
date. Before the vote the first ballot was called,
Mr. Moncurc said, IN the convention, that he hoped
his supporters would vote exactly they preferred
and as though the question was between Messrs.
Burke and Richardson. For his part be pre-
ferred Richardson. Mr. Burke said he must
be allowed to say he had no suggestion to
make. He hoped his friends would vote ac-
Sordine tc their best Judgment He did not
wish To influence them in any way. NJ. MOncuTe's
speech did not have the effect of making the Rich
arlson men vote for him; they voted largely for
Mr Burke. The final and decisive ballot between
Major E. A. Burke and Richardson, resulted in the
nomination of the frst-named for State Treasurer.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
