CHICAGO, Aug. Ga News Saratoga
special says: Horace F. Page OF Califor-
mia came here yesterday. He is on bis
way West. where he will be Joined in Chi
a BY X Congressman Hszleton. The
two will then go to New Mexico for rest,
and to look after their cattle and min
ing interests. Page has been in Congress
for over 10 years. He is a man OF great
force OF character. He has been 80 long
in politics at Washington that he is thor
oughly familiar with all the speculations
and qualities Of the leaders. Speaking OF
Arthur yesterday he said: Il am surprised
TO see, in travelling about the country
what . popular man he is. l believe to-day
he is the strongest man the Republicans
can put on the ticket" After eulogizing
Arthur's course in many particulars, with
| criticisms here and there, said: Il have
| been surprised in one thing, in my inter-
| course with the President, and that is, to
| find him Q much ADLER man and q finer read
| LAWYER than the outside public has any
| idea of. l regard him as an ADLER lawyer
! than any man who has held the post OF
! President for the last so years. His knowl-
| edge az a LAWYER was well illustrated only
| the other day. l was interested in a COM
| plicated tide water land question in my
| State. Teller differed with me as to the
| construction of the law. l went with Tel
Ter and made an appeal to the President
l began my argument, and | never 10 my
| life saw a man comprehend and take IN
90 quickly all the bearings OF thai
| case which had cost me so much
trouble. He was familiar with every
| decision of the Supreme Court for the las,
| 100 years bearing upon the question Of
tide water lands. He very promptly told
| Teller he was wrong in his construction Of
the law, without consulting q single
authority. The clearness OF his views,
| when he came to indicate them, convinced
even Teller"
Page thought a strong ticket for 1884
| would be Arthur and Gresham. Ht
thought it would satisfy every one. IL
fact, it would make IN ideal ticket. Ia
was very certain that no one from Ohio
would be on the ticket in either place FOL
some time to come.
