ment entirely i'll conformity with the Republic

Ex-NIinister Sargent Interviewed.
New YORK, July th-Being interviewed,
Sargent is made to say: The political posi-
| ton of Bismarck in Germany is precarious, de-
| pending upon majority of the woes Ill the
Reichstag. In looking around to see how he
could strengthen himself in that respect, he saw
| that the Junker party, something correspond
| ing to our Granger parry, was open to approach,
hence his policy has been to favor Ii. He hrst
excluded potatoes, then canned meat, and last
our hogs. As these measures were contrary TO
the existing treaty, it became necessary for ham
| to have some excuse for shutting out American
pork therefore he alleged that the hogs were
diseased Germany is a great pork country, but
cannot supply all her wants in that direction
In reality, American pork is far superior to the
| native article, but Bismarck gave preference IN
theimported article to the Russian, Austrian and
Hungarian nations, whose friendship he WISHES
to cultivate l am going to California and do
not intend to remain idle, politically or other
wise. The Pacific slope is in debt Tor the most
considerate treatment of the Chinese question
the subject has yet received. 1t Is the slavery
question of the Pacific coast. Before the pas
sage of the restriction law, san francesca was III
danger of becoming HOngkong. The citizens
of California prefer their capital city TO New
York or Philadelphia, and prefer Christian TO
Il Pagan civilization.
KASSOS's APPOINTMENT.
The Herald reports Sargent as saying: d"
learned with great pleasure OF Mason gogilis
to Berlin. l consider this an excellent appoint,
ment. Kasson is strong man, and am glad
on the whole the place has not been let vacant;
But am certain of one thing, the Minister at
Berlin will have to wink ut a good many things,
or he will find the position male very not for
him under Germany present policy. i nave
no desire to belittle Bismarck in the slightest
degree but he tried to do the entire thinking CT
a nation No man can do that successfully
"Do you feel that our Government failed to
support you properly?
II do not care 20 talk about that, 1t would
probably have been better if the Government
had acted more promptly. What amazes me Is
that the American people should lie content to
,emain i'll their present unprotected condition,
trusting to the complaisance q the powers,
which are never cOmplaiSant with one another
IF Blaine were eICctcd don't you think he
might engage i'll a dangerous quarrel with Bis
marcE?'
Il don't share the Herdids alarm in this re-
gard" said Sargent, smiling. Though am
not a very good Judge of Blaines position, am
willing to admit the nominees were not my frst
choice
sARGENT's VIEW OF BLAINE.
The Tribune reporter quotes Sargent as say
ing: Blaine was the first choice OF California.
Ny choice is the Republican party. Blaine was
nominated partly because his opponents could
not agree on their man, and it seems
hard for those defeated fairly in Convention TO
say to the sterling Republican States which
backed Blaine, you shall make nothing by your
fairly won victory.
DO you know Blaine personality "Of
course. He is more like Henry Clay than any
other man in this generation. Clay was the
lessly According to them he was bribed by
office was a gambler and par,icipatOr i'll muir
der. Blaine may be defeated by these tactics,
but don't believe that Blaine stands just now
like Henry Clay a representative of the
American system. / have seen too much Justl-
fcation for our protective system i'll what |
have observed lately in Europe to wish to see 1t
oyerthrown by The Democracy, no matter who
may be their nominee
Sargent viii remain in this city day or two,
then so to Washington to report to Frelinghuy--
sen. Af,cr that he will take II trip East 20 spend
a few days with his friends, and then go to San
Francisco arriving there about August 9th.
