NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Her.
AIDS reporter ut Pittsburg, Pa. has
interviewed Grant. The latter
said that Garfield is mau with out
backbone; man of fine ability,
but lacking stamina. He wants To
please every body, and is afraid of
mourning the enmity of All the
men who are around him. This il
why lie threw sop to C0nkling
and Platt. Robertson's appoint
ment, / am sure, WAS settled before
March 18th. Yes, before the Chi
cagO Convention. Robertson knew
that IL my nomination could be
prevented he would become Col
lector of New York. i do not sup
pose he had a direct pledge. The
contract was with Blaine, and
Blaine is keen and wary. Robert
SOD, however, knew ne was to get
the appointment. Blaine failed
and Garfield was nominated and
pledged to Robertson, who stood
with Garfield. He had to
appoint him, yet he was afraid to
say so. Why did not he say open.
ly II am going to appoint Robert
son." L do not tb1pk Blaine has
personally said Anything to Gar
field in the matter. He wants to
be in position to say that since he
has been Secretary of State he has
never interfered with any appoint
ments, aud thinks that he can say
that he has not said anything, but
still through him Robertson's nom-
ination was dictated and through
him insisted upon. The reporter
asked: care you going to New
York to take part in the fight?''
mo; / have business there, and l
am out of politics, except as cit.
izen who exercises the right to vote
and think as he pleases."
