SAN Francisco, April 22.-In an inter-
view with a Chronicle reporter to-day,
Chas. A. Dana said the leading issues of
the next presidential campaign would be
to turn out Republicans. Continuing, he
said: 81 think the Democrats can come
squarely before the country as advocates
of a tariff for revenue tax only. An inter
national revenue tax is jus tifa Die on
liquor which will yield enough to pay pen
sions passed by recent laws. These will
only last four or five years. After this
the tax will be no longer needed. Even
now, as recommended by Arthur, all in
ternational taxation can be done away
with. can't say whether the action of
the Republicans in the last congress will
ALLEVIATE the workingmen from the Re-
lieve that the pending Ohio cleo
ton will be influenced thereby
If the question refers to the reduction in
metal duties ii is too early to judge of the
effects. The only Southern states manufac-
turing wooden and cotton goods, sugar and
iron likely to be affected by the free trade
bama. The interests of Louisiana will
certainly fail under free trade policy, for
without protection Louisiana sugar plan
tiers are powerless to compete with Cuba,
Brazil and the Sandwich Islands. The
cotton interests of Alabama are safe.
The effect of free trade plank in the
Democratic platform in the presidential
election in New York in the present state
Of n
Gus. The party would also lose
New Jersey, Connecticut, and prob
ably Indiana. The Democratic party
has plenty of available presidential candi-
dates. Mcdonald, of Indiana, is spoken
of. Hendricks has friends. Bayard has
warm friends, and probably more personal
admirers than any other man in the party.
Palmer, of Illinois,is strong. Thurman is
one of the ablest men in the country. If
Ohio unites in his support in the Demo
cratic convention, his nomination is as
sured. Tilden's friends are discussing his
nomination. 1 am his friend and am not
aware Of such discussion. If Tilden was
fifteen years younger and with CORES
pon6ing physical strength, 1 would have
no doubt of his nomination. 1 don't think
the Western states will insist on naming a
candidate. The desire for success FREEDOM
mates over every other feeling.
Butler, in my opinion, has no
| chance of the nomination. It would
be too hard and close in the Southern
states. see no prospects of a reconcilia-
| ton between the stalwarts and half-breeds.
They hate each other worse than they hate
Democrats. Blaine's chances are poorer
than in 1876 or 1880. Arthur don't desire
denomination. He is q gentleman, a
good fellow, and made better president
than any other man would have done
similarly situated. Grant hasn't ghost
of a chance. Pendleton has no originality
no enterprise. Dana further said he die
not believe the civil service commission
would accomplish anything; that Irish
revolutionist opinion would not influence
the election. Secret midnight conspirator
have no place in a republic. Concluding
he said American journalism is progressive
and California IN ioubtedly will be one o
the greatest states in the union.
