Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-04-30
In St. Paul.

The route appears to have been changed, as
the party arrived in st. Paul last evening and
engaged apartments at the Metropolitan. The
party consisted of the Hon. Hiester Clymer and
bride, his brother-in-law, Mr.. George Brooke
and wife, Mrs. Edward Brooke and Mr.. Edward
NJ. Olymer, the youngest brother of the groom.
A GLOBE reporter inquired for the Democratic
Representative in the House from Pennsyl-
vania and was directed to an ante room, where
the Hon. Hester Clymer was busily engaged
in writing.
The GLOBE waited for pause. Presently
the pen reached a period, when the brOnzed
face and iron gray head was thrown back, and
as he was about to draw long breath, the gaze
of q very intelligent optic fell on the reporter.
Congratulations were extended, and when the
driving pen stopped for another period the in
terview progressed as follows:
The subject, of course, was on the political
outlook. First of all came the query as to the
complexion of political affairs in Pennsylvania
In reply to a question, Representative Clymer
adverted to his prolonged absence from the
State and remarked that he was incapable of
forecasting the political horoscope. As to the
results of the convention, he had no means of
acquiring information save what he had read
in the papers.
The reporter alluded to the refusal to adopt
the unit rule and to the success of the nom
committai Randall policy at the Pennsylvania
convention. As to the political complexion of
the delegation Mr.. Clymer had no means of
knowing, for the reason that he had not seen
list of the chosen delegates. He was of the
opinion, however, that it would have been
better for the State at large if the delegation
had been instructed to vote as q unit, instead
of going to the convention without choice.
Mr.. Tilden's own State had not neglected to
instruct her delegates to vote together, and he
thought it an evidence of weakness to ignore
the unit plan, as done in Pennsylvania.
AS to the probable Democratic nominee. he
entertained pronounced convictions, but pre-
ferred not to mention them for publication.
The conversation then turned on national poll
tics from a Republican standpoint.
The name of Grant was propounded as q
key to the situation, and Representative
Clymer became mere voluble. Stripped of
superhuous verbiage he spoke as follows:
The reelection of Grant will revolutionize and
uproot the principles of our government; there
is an inherent shrinking from the one man
power and if Grant is elected for a third term
the spirit and essence of democratic form of
government, according to the constitution of
the United States, is gone. The third term
principle meant the one man idea, and the
spirit of the constitution once invaded there
was no limit to which the pernicious principle
could not be carried.
If Grant really desires the nomination he
will get it.; his election is another thing. He
is man of far greater sagacity than the peo-
pie give him credit for, and sincerely believe
that If he had been in other hands his admins
tration would have been more creditable; he
certainly would have made better President.
He has the amiable but unfortunate habit of
adhering to his friends through good and evil
report; weakness, when exercised by public
servant, which leads to the most disastrous con-
sequences. If Grant was not the Republican
nominee, he thought e. B. Washburne would
be the man and that Grant would heartily sup
port him.
In conclusion Representative Clymer said
that he had enjoyed delightful trip to Mime
sofa, which feeling had been shared by all the
