1t is a shame that this Georgian interviewer

that he had not any opinion at all about it.
His words are: 81 am unable to say whether or
not believe in the Maine Law'' This inter-
viewer represents him as ignoring Or pervert-

other things as facts, which are only the coarse
and vulgar jests and gibes of red-nosed sore
eyed whiskey drinkers, who thus express their
anger at the Maine Law. do not believe that
Governor Garcelon uttered all this nonsense or
any of it. The rebels down South, knowing
him as war Democrat wanted to make him
appear ridiculous. That is the fact, l think.

Aleko Pasha's Conduct.

CoNSTANTINOPLE, June 2.-The concessions
OF Governor General Aleko Pasha to the popu-

MR.. MATTHEW'S VIEWS.
He Thinks the Grant Feeling Very Strong
and that the Democrats will Nominate
Bishop for Governor.

He Thinks the Grant Feeling Very Strong
and that the Democrats will Nominate
Bishop for Governor.
NEW York, June "A Chicago special to
Times says that the Hon. Stanley Matthews,
now there, said in an interview last evening,
on Ohio politics, that he did not believe that
Judge Taft's defeat showed the Grant element
in Ohio to be in the minority, or that that
state was for Sherman first and last. A por-
ton of the opposition to Taft arose from a fear
that his success might be interpreted as an in
dication of his preference for Grant as the
Presidential nominee, on the ground that Taft
was member of his cabinet and had been
ranked as among the stalwarts The party is
thoroughly united all over the state. Mr..
Matthews appears to be thoroughly convinced
that the Democrats will nominale Bishop for
Governor, but he says that that gentleman
has made himself very unpopular by the en-
ployment OF the patronage he controls in the
employment of officers and trustees of public
institutions in the state of partisans who by
their misconduct have brought great scandal
upon the administration. Looking ahead to
1880, Mr.. Matthews says he considers the pos
sibilites of the nomination of Grant appar-
entity greater than those pointing to any other
person. Next to him stands Blaine. If the
people insist upon an Ohio man, of course it
will be Sherman. 81 shonld think" he saws.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The Repeal of the Jurors Test-O Not
to be Opposed to the Demo-
Gratis Last Proposal.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Republican
members of the Senate assembled in caucus
this afternoon in response to the call of a few
Senators to take action concerning Mr..
Bayards bill to repeal sections 800 and S21 of
the Revised Statutes. The first section pre-
scribes the Jurors test-oath." There was
practical unanimity of opinion in the caucus
that this section should be repealed. The
other section authorizes the Judges of United
States courts to exercise their own discretion
in regard to challenges of persons drawn as
jurors who have participated in the rebellion.
The opinion Of the caucus was that section had
never been abused and was not likely to be
and should stand No other question was
brought before the caucus. The new Demo-
cratic programme in regard to the appropria-
ton bill was incidentally referred to. The
general sentiment seemed to favor the policy
of resisting all attempts of the Democrats to
accomplish by indirection anything that has
heretofore been unsuccessfulle> attempted
openly. 1t was deemed advisably to defer
caucus action on the political situation until
the new bill has been presented and oppor-
tunity is given for critical examination.
