WASHINGTON, d. C., March zS.-Sen-
ator ingalls, IN an interview to-day advo-
Gates this country pursuing policy look
ing towards the control OF the entire CON
tinent. He regards the annexation of
Mexico as a logical result Il kllow, in
time, the first step of the brocity
treaty. He then reviewed the Republi-
can candidates for the Presidency. OF
Arthur he says: ~In the first place may
say thar his administration is universally
commended for its dignity aud cleanliness
and himself for the imperturable proprie-
/ ty OF his conduct. Tie President has been
manacled and hampered by the unfortu-
/ nate circumstances attending his success
4 sion to the Presidential Office Released
nom these impedlments by an elevation
10 the office through the voice of the ma
ton, and left to MS own judgment in the
administration Of affairs, | feel confident
that he would surround himself with the
most brilliant lights of the party. be-
| lieve the sentiment In favor of President
Arthur has been growing recently, and
nave no dombt thai il nominated he
would receive the fuli party support.
What is your opinion about Mr..
Blaine n
Il think Blaine comes nearer the ideal
party leader than any one prominent in
our politics to-day, but there is such
thing as being too aggressive. We are
strong and respected and have no de-
mand for foreign policy so vigorous as
to embron Us in 4 war with other powers.
While we assert our rights as nation
and should be persistent in their asser-
ton, it LOOKS in the light Of
subsequent developments and if Garfield
had not died, as if under the policy
lnaugurated by this dashing representa-
tive of one phase if American public SEN
timent we might have had serious diff
Guilty with Great Britain on the Crampton
| business or in complications tending to
| the same end in our South American re-
latlons. There IS no doubt Of the ag-
| gressiveness of Mr.. Blaine's idea of gov
ernment, but the question may occur as
] to whether the country desires to have its
peace and prosperity disturbed by foreign
complications and possible war, and for
which we are in no way provided in the
framing of diplomacy or the materials OF
strife"
OF Logan, he said: .sThe General is
specially strong with the soldier element
OF the west-a large aggressive following
generally. | know this from my own
range of observation and information. III
nominated, Logan will not only receive
cordial support from all branches of the
party. but viii make as aggressive cam
paign as has ever been known in the his
tory of our politics. If Logan was as
strong in the east as he is in the west
there would be little doubt Of his nomi-
nation
"Of Senator EdmundsI might say that
he has the confidence of a very large and
influential portion ofthe thinking men o.
this country, who admire his integrity and
ability. There are also some who while
admitting his pronounced erudition and
mental force, don't applaud some of his
intellectual methods.
Il might also mention Senator Sher-
man, who fills place in the front rank
with Arthur, Blaine, Logan and
Ednunds. The Senator has been lon Z in
public life and has been pre-emincntly
distinguished and succe ssful, especially
in connection with the financial and
economic development. Of our system.
While his nomination might arouse
much enthusiasm, it would command |
that jealous and determined party sup
port which would lead to gratifying
results
"Whom do you regard as possible can
didates
~There is quite list of names,r said
the Senator, which might be mentioned, !
but | shall only refer to two or three.
Take Harrison, Of Indiana, for example.
He lives in doubtful State; he has dis
tinguished ancestry, unstained reputation,
ample attainments, an excellent record as
a soldier, and ifnominated wosld be sup
ported with great tenac ty by that class of
