the recent walk-over in this State, is here on
visit to his old friend and law partner,
Hon. Aaron F. Perry.
Last evening the Enquirer, in the person
of one of its reporters, paid it's respects to
the Ex-Governor. The Governor agreed to
answer a few questions on the question of
the Senatorship.
Said the reporter: Governor, whom do you
recognize as the principal Senatorial candi-
date?
Governor D.-There are only four whose
names have been prominently put before the
people. These are Judge Taft and Judge
Matthews, of this city, Mr.. Garfield and my
self. t-
Repatriation you are positively oan-
didate? -
Governor Dyes, I have SO announced
myself. ..-
Reporter how do you gauge the
outlook, Governor?
Governor D.-As a candidate, I don't
think it would be proper for me to say. In
fact, couldn't say just how things may
turn out. although might say that have
hopes of being elected.
Reporter-From which branch of the
party do you expect to get your strength? .
Governor d. don't recognize any
branches in the Republican party. The Re-
publican party is united, and there are no
wings. I am one of the founders of the Re-
publican party, and I have acted with it
| since it's birth. I am in full accord with its
| principles, and have SO announced myself,
and it is on these principles that am can
didate. 49,
Reporter-But, Governor, are you not
moro in accord with the stalwart branch of
your party? -~-.
Governor D.-There is no such thing as a
stalwart branch of the Republican party.
All Republicans are stalwart. am stalWart
in this far that am uncompromisingly op-
poaed to such unconstitutional ideas as that
of State rights and solid South. am op-
posed to the unconstitutional proceedings of
the Democratic majority in the extra session
of Congress-, which consider as reasonable
as the declaration of war by the Southern
| States and the firing on Fort Sumter.
Reporter-What unconstitutional pro-
ceedings do you refer to, Governor?
| Governor d. mean the attempt, by
threatening to starve the government, to
place the legislative department above the
executive and judicial departments, which I
hold as reasonable. On this point am in
full accord with the Republican party, if
that's what you call stalwartism.
Reporter-How about the other candidates
you mentioned?
Governor d. don't know. I have
nothing to say about the other candidates.
They're all nice gentleman, and personal
friends of mine.
Reporter-You say there are only four
prominent candidates. How about Foster
and Sherman? .
Governor d. don't think either Foster
or Sherman is candidate for the Senator
ship. In fact, I know they are not.
Reporter-If Sherman is not Senatorial
candidate, do you think he is candidate
for the Presidency? ~
Governor Dyes, be is; and I don't
think the Republican party could do better
than nominate him. Let the national con-
vention, when it meets, give US Sherman as
a candidate, and I'll go for hinfF with a
whereas.
! Reporter-Would Sherman be better
man than either Grant or Blaine?
Governor d. will not express my opin-
ion as between them.
Reporter-Won't the election of Sena-
tor in this State have some effect on the
Presidential question?
! Governor D.-As q candidate L don't
think propriety will allow me to express my
| opinion as to the effect the election of any
Senatorial candidate will have on the pros
poets of any aspirant to the Presidency.
Reporter-How is the Hamilton county
vote going to be polled?
Governor d. do not know. don't
think any of the members elect are COM
mitted to any particular candidate In fact,
I believe that when the general assembly
meets the great majority of the members
will take their seats unpledged on the Sena-
torial question.
This ended the interview, as the Governor
was very anxious to get away. He goes to
Columbus to-day.
