CLEVELAND. o. April IA Herald repor-
ter has interviewed SENATOR H. B.. Payne
on his candidacy for the Presidency:
"Ihave noticed" 8 lid tho reporter, "tbat
there is desire abroad in the land to learn
whether or not you-"
mo, no." interrupted Mr.. PAyne with
an engaging smile, IS ho took u? few
inches Of slack in the silk cord which con-
fined the ample folds Of his gray dressing
gown, and Hospitality opening the door to
permit his visitor to depart,f"l canno. talk
on that subject" ,As no subject had been
suggested the reporter imagined that Mr..
Payne had not rightly gusssed The object
OF his errand, and began again. II should
be pleased to kuow whether you arc
candidate for the Presidency" was the
modest request. S-.!:
Still smiling and opening tho door, Mr..
Payne replied, somewhat irrelevantly, III
men will chase the shadow for the sub
stance, caniiot help it." g.f.a5i
Having the shadow and substance botl,
at hand" suggested the reporter, II would
be extremely glad il you, would give me an
answer" M, IS. : s-s ~ E,ut
" will net be interviewed on the sub.

"Bus your son, Colonel Payne has heen

Continued tho reporter, I'm the last in

was published as saying thu: you we're not

"My Gon and I are two different per.
sone," again responded the Senator rather
hurriedly, as he prepared 20 close the door
behind the disturber Of his quiet, "and
do not hold myself responsible for his as.
sertions." The inference wei plain, and
the reporter departed with bis mind quite

statesman will not reply "Yes" to the di.

is very bad, utit'may bssome consolation
to know that there arc numbers Of Demo.

affected, and am told by psrsone who
made the figures that no farmer would walk
two hundredyards for the triniug difference
this order makes iu his tax list. And say,
even admitting the Governor made mis-.
ta.-e, We owe it 10 our intelligence to hnot

selfish purposc,. The men who havs the
good OF our State at hesrs, when they 70.
iiact, will all unite in denouncinc This
clamor, Iithcy do not, q public man has
no inducement for trying to do his duty. /
have not been one OF ..hn political friends
oi Governor Jackson, but am for him now
for any public employmen. he will accep.,
because be has shown himaeli ono OF the
very few men who will do his duty or what
he thinks his duty, whc.herit is popular or

been that Rinety.niue in the hundred Of
our politicians will avoid any &C. no: cal
culated to givo popularity, and ! well
know that the public business sutlers chief.
