Hon. R. P. Spalding of Cleveland Ohio,
is spending few days in st. Paul, the
guest of his ssn-in-law Mr.. Charles Nc
Ilrath. Although a somewhat frequent
visitor at st. Paul, Judge Spalding said
yesterday he realized more foroibly than
ever before the solidity and wonderful re-
sources of the city as evidenced by the
rapidity of its growth, thu volume of it's
building enterprises and Tag beauty and
the taste shown in it's ARCHITECTURAL devel-
opment.
Last evening representative Of the
GLOBE had the pleasure of making call
upon this distinguished citizen of Ohio,
at 378 Summit avenue, and found him the
life and centre Of the social circle that
were grouped around him. Judge Spald
ing is in the 85th year Of his age, but time
has been lenient with him and he seems
but to have reached the maturity of his
powers, and to be entering upon, rather
than otherwise, vigorous and polished
manhood. After illusions to some of the
events Of aud lang syne familiar alike
to the Judge and his caller, the converse
ton naturally and easily passed to
consideration of the political situation in
Ia oto
see,' said Judge Spalding, sis defeated in
the Republican papers, but rest assured
that there his defeat ends, and on the I'd
Tuesday of October he will be elected by
the people by an overwhelming majority.
Judge Hoadly is the ablest man who has
been a candidate for governor as the rep
resentative of any party, in many years,
and yet no man in the political history of
the last twenty five years has been subject
ed to such crusade of abuse as has been
poured out upon him."
Asked if there was not some disaffection
and division within the Democratic party
that might prove disastrous, the Judge
said there was not. Soon after the noni-
nation an effort was made to discredit
Hoadly's Democracy because he had been
an anti-slavery man, but it made no i'm
preston. If any effect was produced it
gave him strength and new friends.
Hoadly was free-soiler and like Francis
Blair, Lyman Trumbull, Chase and many
others joined the movem ent against slav-
cry that underlay the organization of the
Republican party, but since sla-
very is gone, all that class of men.
like Hoadly and myself are now acting
with the Democratic party because we
think it is the pursst party in our Ameri-
can politics. Another cry was raised
against Hoadly that he paid $4,000
for his nomination. That was a mons
trous story, but by the way happen to
know something about that. I was the
chairman of the Cuyahoga delegation and
our 80 votes were cast for Hoadly. and
| none of us heard of the expenditure of a
dollar, but the source from which the ca
nard came sent it flying back into the faces
of it's authors with a tremendous recoil.
No man in twenty years has been so set
upon by his partisan opponents as Judge
Hoadly, but the mud don't stick. I have
known him from boyhood intimately, and
know him to be as pure man as he is
able and brilliant. The Germans are a
great political power in Ohio, and every
German paper is ardently supporting
Hoadly and the German voters are doing
the same thing. My own county Cuyaho-
ga-will give him 5000 majority. Ham
ilton county will roll up its thousands for
him and he will be triumphantly elected,
l heartily guarantee that. The Democrat
ic party are at no odds among themselves.
The platform is satisfactory to all of our
people, and thorn to the opposition. It
happened that was able to influence the
formation of the tariff plank which chal-
lenges the candid Judgment of every
thoughtful man;
"A tariff for revenue, limited to the necessary
expenditures of the government, and so adjus-
ted as to give protection and encouragement to
home productive industry and labor without
producing or fostering monopolies.
That is the voice of the Democratic
party of Ohio. and of every Democratic
convention since held, and it is not too
much to assume that it will become the
tariff policy of the National Convention in
1884.
Touching upon the senatorial question,
Judge Spalding remarked that the Cincin-
natl Enquirer had made a breezy fight
against Senator Pendleton, and at one
time it seemed as if there might some mis-
chief flow from it. The fight against PEN
dleton was quite unnecessary on the part
of the Enquirer. He would not be re-
turned anyway and all that ammunition was
wasted. While he did not think the peo-
pie generally we're committed upon the
senatorial matter, he thought Hon. Henry
B. Payne of Cleveland was the most gen.
orally and infuentially considered in that
connection. The senatorial matter, how
ever, neither imperiled or added strength
to the state ticket. With the rank and
file the controlling impulse was to uphold
the state ticket and permit the senatorial
subject to await its appropriate time.
"There is not much discussion in re-
gard to the next Presidency in my sec
tion," said Judge Spalding. ''For myself
am heartily in favor of the cold ticket"
1t should be nominated as a measure of
retributive justice, to make at a late day
some atonement for the great crime of
1876. Regarding Mr.. Tilden's health
that is not at all in the way. His nomin-
alton would sweep the country like an
inspiration, and he would enter the White
House with majority behind him, before
him and about him that would show how
the American people love justice and
hate the fraud of politicians. Ohio
would stand ~ the. ''old tick
ETY. you may depend. Hayes is a
cipher, insignificant and impotent. Of
course no one can tell, the unexpected
often happens, but if the current of opin-
ion DreyaiIincy to-day continuas until 1894
