HIS OPINION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
QUESTION.
Reporter Changing the subject. WHO
do you think will be the Republican
nominee for President next yesr?
Senator-General Grant will be, with
out doubt, if he will accept it. We
need stronger central Government
the wealth of the country demands it;
without capital and capitalists our Gov
eminent would not be worth fig; the
capital of the country demands protec-
ton; its rights are as sacred as the
rights of Che paupers who are continsF-
ally pating about the entertainments Of
capital and against Capitalization. We
have tried Grant, and know him TO be
the man for the place above all others.
He has nerve. As President, he would
be Commander-il.Ch Chief Of the army
and navy, and when the csinmunistic
tramps of the country raised mobs to
tear up railroad tracks, and to- sack
cities on the sham cry Of ''bread or
blood, F" he would not hesitate to ttrn
loose upon them canister and grape.
The wealth of the country has. to bear
the burdens of the Government, and if
should control il. The people are be-
coming educated up to this 5heory rap
idly, and the. sooner this, theory is
recognized in t5se Constitution and laws
the better it wal be for the people.
Reporter-It is true that the capital
of the country has for the last eighteen
years controlled and run the Govern
ment; III fact, and in its interest exclu-
sively; and it will so continue until
there is a political change of the Federal
Administration.
Senator - Without bloodshed = and
rivers Of it--there will be no political
change of Administration. The moneyed
interests of the country, for self-preser-
walton, must sustain the Republican
party. The railroads. the banks, the
manufacturers, the heavy importers,
and all classes of business in which
millions are invested, will maintain the
supremacy of the Republican party.
Democratic success would be bank
ruptcy to them. To avert fearful blood
shed, strong central government
should be established as soon as possible.
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT CURRENCY.
Reporter-Wif this session OF Con-
gress be of much interest?
SENATOR do not anticipate that its
proceedings will attract the attention of
the country particularly. The members
on both sides will be occupied mainly
in o, organizing their forces foran effective
campaign next year, and in harmonizing
any party dissensions that may exist,
and in discussing among themselves
and leading outside pertissas the merits
and avaiiabilities of different Presi--
Dental candidates.
Reporter there not be an at
tempt to revive the questions'of double
or single standard, hard or soft money,
and the abolition of National Banks?
Sonator-I think not. All parties
will be anxious to tide these matters
over till after tho-election.
Reporter What do you think will
be the future legislation upon the cur
rency question?
Senator-It is difficult to tell. l.
think greenbacks will be gradually re-
tired, and fnally--and at no distans
day-gold will be made the Govern
ment money alone. Grant is in favor
of single standard, and. that of gold'
| think myself that in few years this
will be our best policy but not at pres
emit
