Garfield interviewed.
CHICAGO, April Ala correspondent in
terviewed General Garfield OH politics. He
thought likely Sherman would get Ohio solid
with Blaine as second choice. Thought
appearances indicated the final nomination
of Grant. He said the Democrats seemed all
at sea and were afraid of Tilden out said g.:
81 have thought they would nominate Judge
Field. He has some strong points not
possessed by the generality of their candi-
dates. In the first place he was all out and
out war Democrat. Although of a Demo-
cratic family, they were all union men and
no one more so than he. The cry of cop
perhead' cannot be raised against him. As
soon as the war was over he took the Demo-
cratic position and has almost uniformly
written the dissenting opinions against the
majority of the Supreme Court in favor of
State rights and limited federal powers.
Their he has been sound Oh currency. He
took the position for resumption and MAIN
tanned it throughout. The fact that Mr..
Lincoln placed hin on the supreme bench is
a testimonial of his purity Of character and
knowledge Of the law. He belongs to a
powerful family which would give him every
means to conduct his campaign If he should
be nominated. I think also that he stands in
good relations with all other Democratic
CdllultdtCS, lluCI lllSluuCu.
He had found the Germans against Grant,
because they feared he would usurp power,
which fear he (Garliold) considered entirely
groundless.
