Campaign-He Doesn'ts Know Anything
About Presidential Candidates, but Thinks
Tilden Will Not Accept-He is Coming to
st. Paul.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June Ex-senator John Sher-
man is visiting Chicago. He was inter-
viewed by your correspondent, and said
in reply to the query as to whether he
thought the Republicans would carry Ohio
eyes, think so.''
"Was Judge Foraker the most available
candidate for governors"
''Well, he is good man You know
two or three declined. Judge Foraker is
an able man, and though not very widely
known, he has the elements of popularity,
and L think will win
will the liquor question enter the can
vass?"
Eyes, but l think the dissensions on that
question can be adjusted. OF course it is
a disturbing element, but do not believe
it will operate much to the disadvantage
of the party. Three-fourths of the people
Of the state are in favor of the Scott law,
but they cannot be brought to evince
courage enough to stand by their opin-
IONS"
"Will the liquor question enter into the
national canvass"
'No. The states will settle that them
selves. Each state has different class of
population who prefer to retain local con-
troll of such matters. In the west the feel
ing is not as strong as in the east, but in
the south the states have exhibited strong
opposition to the traffic, Missouri and Ken
lucky particularly Missouri has very
stringent liquor law.
''Do you think the fall elections will
show a Republican gain over the last cleo
tions?"
1.-TWO years ago during Mr.. Garfeld's ill
ness and after his death lull occurred,
and as there was not much to fight for. no
very great efforts were made, but am of
the opinion we will carry most of the
doubtful states"
''What is the presidential outlook?"
II don't know"
''W1ll Mr.. Arthur be candidate?'
Il can't say, 1 don't care to speak on
that question"
"What do you think of Senator Logan's
chances?"
cit would be improper for me to say any
thing on that subject. Gen. Logan is a
fellow senator, and besides the thing is not
yet taking shape"
''Will you be candidate?''
''No--I don't know. Everything is at
sea jast row, hem! I think you've got
enough for an interview"
'What about the Democrats? VIII Mr..
Tilden come forward?"
s.Mr -
candidate. have seen him personally.
and 1 know him to be very feeble man. &.
He is a director in the same road in which
am director, the Fort Wayne, and
know he does not attend to any business
l feel quite certain Mr.. Tilden will not ae-
cept the nomination if it Is rendered to
him. Those who think he should have
taken his seat-who think he was elected
in 187G-desire, L suppose, to nominate
him. Half the country thought one way,
and little over half thought the other way
at that time, you remember"
what about Butler:"
Il do not care to speak of the personal
character of any one; besides this thing is
all too premature"
"Wiil the Republicans make the tariff an
issue, and will the Democrats accept it,
be accepted. The Democracy is the party
of free trade, but it has not the courage of
its convictions
what are your plans for the summer"
'Some of my townsm9 9n and myself are
on our way to the northwest. We will
stop at st. Paul, spend Sunday at Fargo
and Moorhead, visit Bismarck and Miles
City, and go as far as Helena if we have
time"
after your return you will enter the
campaign, 1 SUPPOSE"
''Later in the season. The committee
on rules, OF which am a member, has
been directed to revise the rules of the
! senate, and has been called to meet in New
York July Z. When we have finished our
work 1 shall be at the service of the state
executive committee and make my usual
number of speeches."
