6hceS-Ontv -Four Senatorial Candidates
SHERMAN a Candidate for the I'resi-
dency.
Cincinnati Enquirer.J
Ex-Governor Dennison, one of the nu-
merous senatorial possibilities developed by
the recent walk over in this State, is here on
q 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 arc only four whose
names have been prominently put before the
Matthews, of this city, Mr.. Garfield and my
self.
Reporter-Then you are positively oan-
didate? ..
Governor D.-Yes. I have SO announced
myself:
Reporter Well, 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 I 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. / 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.
Reporter-But, Governor, are you not
more in accord with the stalwart branch of
your party? r.
Governor D.-There is no such thing as
stalwart branch of the Republican party.
All Republicans are stalwart. am stalwart
in this far that I am uncompromisingly op-
posed to such unconstitutional ideas as that
of State rights and solid South. I am op-
posed to the unconstitutional proceedings of
the Democratic majority in the extra session
of Congress, which I 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
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. 1 have
b. al1o o4b
They're all nice gentleman, and personal
friends OF mine. -s.
Reporter-You say there are only four
prominent candidates. How about Foster
and Sherman? ss..
Governor d. don't think either Foster
or Sherman is candidate for the Senator
ship. In fact, know they are not.
Reporter-If Sherman is not a Senatorial
candidate, do yoa think he is candidate
for the Presidency?
Governor D.-Yes, he 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
candidate, and I'll 60 for him with q
whereas.
Reporter-Would Sherman be a better
man than either Grant or Blaine?
Governor d. will not express my opin-
ion as between them.
Reporter the election of Sena-
tor in this State have some effect on the
Presidential question?
Governor D.-As candidate I 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,
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.
