srecial says: Horace F. Page, of Cal
ifornia, came here yesterday. He is ON
his way west, where he will be joined in
Chicago by ex-Congressman Hazelton.
The two will then go to New Mexico for
rest and looking up cattle and mining
interests. Page has been in Congress
over ten years. He Is a man OF great
force of character. He has besn 50 long
in politics at Washington that he 10 thor
ouahly familiar with all speculations
ana qualities of the leaders. Speaking
Of Arthur yesterday, he said: II am
surprised to see:sin travelling out in the
country how popular he 10. / believe
today be 10 the strongest man the Re
nublicans can put on their ticket"
After sulogizing Arthur's course in many
PARTICULARS, with Q criticism here and
there, he said: 81 have besn surprised Ia
one thing, in my Intercourse with the
President. That is, to dnd him - much
abIer man and finer read lawyer than
de outside public have any ida Of.
regard him a. an ADLER lawyer than any
man Who has held the post Of Presidents
for the last hfty years. His knowledge
A. lawyer was well illustrated only the
CHEZ day. / was Interested In Q COM
pijcated tide water land question ip my
Etste. Teller differed with me - 70 the
construction of the Law. / went with
Teller and made an appeal TO the Pres
nent. / began my argument, and /
nsysr in my life saw man comprohend
and take in 90 quickly all the bearings
Of that case. which had cost noe 70 much
trouble. He was familiar with every
decision Of the 6upfsms Court for the
Last 100 years bearing upon the question
Of tide water lands. He very promptly
told Teller that he was wrong in his
construction of the Law, without con.
suItine a single authority. The clear
ness OF his views, when he came TO indi-
cate them, convinced even Teller"
Page thought a strong ticket for 1884
would be Arthur and Gresham. He
thouQht 1t would satisfy everyone. In
fact, it would make an ideal ticket. He
vss very certain thar no one from Ohio
would be on the ticket in either place
for some time to come.
