WASHINGTON, April 14.-The New York
World publishes the following dispatches
from Governors Stoneman, Crttenden,
Grant and Click under the head of ''rhe
Policy to Victory:''
GOVERNOR SLOVENIAN.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 12.-To the
Editor of the World: In reply to your in
quiries of yesterday, have to say: First
regard change Of political administration
at Washington, restoration of the republic by
return to the first principles as they existed
prior to the civil war and the
regulation and control of corpora
tions and monopoles as the paramount
issues in the coming political campaign In
my opinion the tariff question TO the people
Of this coast is secondary to that. The tariff
question in time will be adjusted as the de-
mands and necessities of the people require.
Secondly. 1 am not well enough informed
as to the details of the Morrison bill to give
an opinion. Thirdly. The platform of the
Ohio Democracy on the subject of the tariff
as far as / am informed meets the views Of
the people of this state.
tSignedl GEO. SToNENAN.
Governor of California.
GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN.
JEFFERSON CITY, April 12.-To the editor
OF the World: First am willing to make
the past congressional extravaganza of the
Republican party, its departure from a pure
Democratic form of government, the un-
bushing frauds of 1876 and the tariff, the
issues of the coming campaign. Second
The Morrison bill is a step in the right direc
ton. The majority in congress should pass
it boldly and bravely, and make no apologies
for their votes. 1t is a conservative bill; it
is reformation, not revolution, in the indus
tries of the country. I would not
make that bill the standard of
any mans Democracy. The action of the
caucus should secure its passage without de-
lay by every Democratic vote in congress, as
the majority should determine the policy of
the party Third-Until the public debt is
paid [ favor the st. Louis presidential plat
form. 1t was once under leadership of Gov
ern or Tilden. With such, leader and plat
form Democracy would win again There
should be no cowardice about candidate for
platform. The party cannot surrender
principles for offices.
[Signedl THos T. CRITTENDEN,
Governor Of Missouri.
GOVERNOR GRANT.
DENVER, Col, April Ito the Editor of
the World: First, am not in favor of max
ing the Morrison bill an issue in the coming
campaign. / see no urgent necessity for
imme diate reduction of the present tariff
rates. Second, do not favor the passage of
the Morrison bill by the house. Third,
favor tariff for both revenue and protection
and for raw materials as well as manufac
tured products. AT the same time l don't
favor prohibition Of a tariff reduction and
think moderate reduction of the present
tariff on many articles might be made
without disturbing our industrial interest.
SIGNED j. B. GRANT,
Governor of Colorado.
GOVERNOR CLICK.
Topeka, Kas., April 2.-To the Editor of
the World: [ believe in making a change
in administration at Washington the para
mount question in the campaign. I favor
the immediate passage of the Morrison bill
by the house. favor tariff for revenue with
incidental protection, so formed as not to
foster monOpolies
[Signed] G. w. CLICK,
Governor of Kansas.
PAYNE IN THE FIELD.
The New York Times publishes dispatch
from the Cleveland correspondent that, no
matter what may be said to the contrary,
Payne is a candidate, and will accept if
nominated. Fluctuations IN the Payne po-
litical market are explained by the state
ment that those in control of the movement
desire to keep Payne off the track to prevent
him going to Chicago with the field
against him. Col. Payne's interview with
the Kansas City Times correspondent, with
drawing his father permanently from the
race, was made because of a premature de-
velopment of Payne's strength. One of
Payne's supporters says when the convention
assemblies Tflden will be pulled out in the
nicke of time and Payne pulled in. The
combination is a big one and covers a large
territory. Mr. Payne has given no orders
against the use of his name and his friends
know what they are about. The dispatch
further states that Randall is backing Payne,
with the hope of becoming the nominee in
case Payne fails but retains sufficient
strength to name the man. Should Payne
be the nominee and be elected, Randall will
have cabinet position. Payne men predict
that if he is nominated Ohio will go Demo
cratic by a large majority.
LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE.
The New York Herald, attending to the
Blaine movement, says: "There is no dan
ger of Mr., Blaine's nomination. The Repub-
Gcans have bad some severe lessons of late.
The people punished them for tolerating
Robson, and the party temporarily retired
Robson. The people punished them for
elevating Keifer to the speakerShip, and the
party has turned its back on Keifer by ratfy
ing unanimous committee report, which,
in effect, declares Keifer a falsifier
and perjurer. The Republican leaders have
load enough to carry in the coming cam
paign without adding 'Blaine of Maine" to
it. They are carry Dorsey, Brady, Kellogg,
Robson and Keifer. They would be glut-
tons if they added EBlaine, and then the
whitewash might not hold out if so great
surface was to be covered. Mr. Blaine will
not be nominated at Chicago.
NO ONE CAN GUESS
The question of consideration of the Nor
rison tariff bill is the subject of wide com
ment tonight, and while various predictions
are made it is conceded that everything is
