VIEWS OF DIR. GEORGE Is. LORlNG-OBJECiOho ~
EVERY CASDIDATE-THE IssUEs.
At the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday DIR.
George Lorng United States Commissioner Of Agricui-
ture said to a TRIBUNE reporter:
The Republican party, having selected its standard
bearers will sustain itself and elect them at the polls.
There u some objection TO the ticket, but that IL only
natural There objections raised 10 the nomina-
ton OF Lincoln, and when he was nominated the second
time objections bitterly rsed than the first
nomination. There cbjectors 70 General Grants
second nomination, who bitter, obstinate and
strenuous in their assaults. These same gentlemen
didn't like Garfield very we'll But these things are only
natural. The Republican party Is made mp OF independ-
ent minds Of thinking 1t would be strange, indeed.
IL nomination could be made which did not find somo
antagonists from within the party The party has suc'
ceeded hitherto in spite Of such opponents and viii
continue to succeed
"Mr. Blaine will surely be elected do not say so as
a mere party boast or because am wrought up and
ghemed with enthusiasm for the ticket Dat because
it is my honest and candid judgment. Nobody can say
will attempt to say, that the nomination was not fairly
secured. 1t most astonishing uprising Of tho
party Thesgentlemen, ThO threaten 20 bolt cannot bat
admit this. Would they not have bolted Arthur II La
had been nominatedi There was at no time any vida
sentiment throughout the party except for one or tina
other of these candidates think before the canvass
is the obectors will all be back in the PARTY giving
warm support to it's platormi and ticket. Gentlemen
from Massachusetts tell me that the masses O Repubi-
cans IN that state VINO Ior lohg tue ni,c peen ~
VOLT returning to the party by the hundreds ana tba
they will offset thrice over the opposition no" displayed
in Boston.
It has been the fate OF all public men who have
reached eminence in the Republic to be assaed by ING
malicious or enyious. Lincoln, Seward and General
Arthur have been attacked alike with Blaine. There nag
been almost cruelty in the things said about PreSdenc
Arthur whose Administration has been one Of the best ~
the cOuntrys history. But when you remember that such
DR.. StOrrs, and Horace Davis who Is as pure
lives. believe in and sustain Mr.. Blaine there ls
need for any man to stand back and withdraw hls
support because of these attacks him The Presidents
friends, glad to see responding to the party
spirit most heartily and cordially have heard tho
slightest nmatiOn from the President OF an nnkndv
character toward Mr.. Blaine and his dispatch after the
nomination was made Just the proper thing.
The struggle this fall Is 10 be between American n-
duste interests and development opposed To foreign
interests In a contest believe the American peo.
pie will always rally for their own people as lnteli-
gent, active ready ours Will never subscribe 10
doctrine that not fully competent Nation
to take care OF ourselves against the world"
