From Our Special Correspondent. q
WASHINGTON, D. g., May l6.-"Th
country would be glad 10 hear from 20,
Mr.. Cox" your correspondent said to thI
Representative Of that name from New
York, "what Mr.. Tllden Is going 10 d.
about being candidate for the Presidential
nomiGa,ion."
"Ah," he smiled, "that Is something that
nobody can answer. l confess am aImoe
forced TO the belief, however, that despite
tho assertions to the contrary be will yield
to the demand from all parts Of the country
and accept the nomination"
"Do you think he would be tho nominee
hit were underatood he would accept"
"Undoubtedly. | don't think there's q
question as to that"
Sand b. elecsed?"
"As certainly rs he is nominated. The
New York Democracy would be united iol
him this time-not dissenting voice OF
vote, and this would be a great thing in
his favor, you know. Oh, I don't think
there Is the least doubt OF his election IL
nominated. or OF bis nomination II he will
sccept." n.
TARIFF REFORM AND BUSINESS FAILURES.
0! course the tariff reIormers regret the
recent financial disasters in Yew York
and elsewhere, as all good citizens do, bu.
it is mora than suspected that they are
willing TO let the country understand that
they recognize them as the result of the
failure OF the tariff bill. II don't think We
hhall sec any more attempts at any reduc-
ton Of the tariff or tax Of any sort" said
Chairman Hatch, Of the Agricultural Com.
mittee, to your correspondent in res.
ponse to an inquiry. "rhe subject
has been relegated 10 Wall str set snd
We zee tho result already. The business
interests show tina. they have Lost con.
htence in q party which. canntlt agree
within i,aelf upon policy which ia in
tended 10. the benefit OF the public"
THE ELECTION CASES AND THE TARIFF,
"What is there in these .rumoys that
FIVE Democrats are to be seated and Ms
many Republicans nnseated to make 4
mej jority Tor the tariff bill ?" your corrcs.
pondent asked MI. Wallace, the contestant
in the Wallace-Mckinley case.
Nothing, utterly no:hiog," WAS the re.
ply. ~ think may aayithat most emphat-
ically, and in perfect confidence in its en-
tire truthlulnesa. At least l know there is
no such agreement or understanding on
my part, and l don't believe there is any
on the part Of sny Of the contestan,e. I
think the story is started to make sympa-
thy for tho people holding the seats, that's
"And how would the contestants vote on
the tariff question iiiit should come up
again, Mr.. Wallacs?'
"Tha: would bs impossible 10 answer. I
have had no consultation with any Of
them" . -
"Aud as to youreeli?"
II should try to represent the will OF the
constituency that elected me to- the sest
which the committee has awarded me.
think they favor reform Of the tariff, and
il it should come in reasonable form, in
the form that it did before, think should
probably vote for it. III did 60, however,
it would be only because l thought it ior
the good OF the country and OF the party as
well, aad'not by reason Of any arrange
ment to that end, or any way the result Of
my being sested. 1 WAS fairly entitled 10
the seat, and the committee has SO decided,
and thatis the only reason that occupy
tue position that do today" =
