late President Garfield came, your views
as TO Arthur's popularity in Ohio would
be very interesting just now," cor
respondent said to Judge Taylor, the
Representative from the Nineteenth Ohio
District. Judge Taylor was, it will be
remembered, elected to succeed Garfield
after his election as Senator, just prior to
the campaign of 1850, and has since rep
resented that District in Congress. He
was sitting in his seat on the floor of the
House awaiting the opening of the ses.
sion of the day.
81 should be very glad to give them,"
he answered. "The people of my district
think well of President Arthur; they think
that his administration has been wise
and efficient one far beyond their ex-
pcctations in the result. They are sur.

lied President Arthurs course, and he is
much more highly thought of there now
than he was when he became President"
Gould he carry Ohio, do you think,
Mr., Taylor!"
'NeS,n he replied, 81 have no DOUBT he
could, and will if nominated. l do not
say that he is the strongest man that
could be nominated for Ohio, but | think
that he is sufficiently strong there to
carry the State"
"Who would be the strongest man in
Ohio in your opinion?"
81 think that Blaine is the choice of a
larger number of people than is the
case with any other man; at least think
that is the fact in my own district and
vicinity"
"You think, then, that Blaine would be
stronger than Arthur in Ohio?"
"Yes, | think so. do not think that
Arthur's nomination would create any
considerable enthusiasm in Ohio; indeed
! doubt if it would call out the full Re-
publican vote, though the percentage of
the Republicans who would not vote
would be extremely small. imagine that
Blaine or Sherman or Edmunds or Logan
would be stronger in Ohio, yet am sat
isted that he could carry the State if NOM
mated.

dates?"
81 think that Mr. Payne is the choice
of Ohio Democrats"
THE HOG QUESTION.
The Commerce Committee, having got
ten rid of the Interstate bill, has found
time to look after the hog. 1t is to hold
a session tomorrow for this special pur-
pose. On Friday of last week it dis
cussed the question briefly, arriving att
conclusion, however. There are several
bills and joint resolutions of this nature
before 1t. One of them authorizes the
President to prohibit the importation of
articles from those countries prohibiting
The Importation of our pork, whenever he
10 convinced that the articles which
he may prohibit are injurious
to health. This, of course, means
the nations of France and Ger
many. Another bill authorizes the APP
pointment Of inspectors, whose duty it
Snail be to inspect hogs slaughtered for
the foreign market. Of course only a
comparatively small proportion of the
hogs Killed at the great packing establish
mehls OF the country are for foreign
markets, and as these are prepared for
the market in different manner from
those intended for consumption in this
county there will be no difficulty in car
rylng out measure of this kind and pre-
venting any attempts to eyade it,
The foreign markets demand
method OF cutting meats sent them
which is entirely different from
that adopted for the home market, so
that all hogs slaughtered and packed to
20 abroad would be readily recognized by
experts when prepared for packing in
the slaughter-houses. This proposition
looks to the appointment of these
inspectors by the packing houses them
selves, so that the enactment of such
law will not add to the expenses of
the Government. If the course of the
foreign governments in excluding
American meats is in good faith,
because Of their solictude for the
health OF their people, this course will
probably satisfy them. If it is not, but
is for the benefit of their hog-growers
