Springer's Admissions

Hon. William NJ. Springer, one Of
the leading free-traders OF the House Of
Re representatives, from Illinois, and who
like many other notable free-traders OF
Congress had shor5 call at the late
eie ;tion, has been in ChicAgo and has
been interviewed in relation to the
future Political outlook. He recognizes
the fact that tue Democratic party has
received terrible shaking up at tie
late election. He also admits that the
main national Issue in the next election
will be tariff rsform, in whi1h the Re.
publicans will have the advantage. Mr..
Cleveland, he thinks will be re-nomiDa-
ted and there Is nothing surer than that
Blline will lie the Republican candi-
date. He Is also confident that there
viii be Labor candidate nominAted.
Ifthat candidate be Henry George, he
being free-tradeT, he will most Likely
draw the most votes from the Demo
cratic party and defeat Cleveland. II
the candidate be Powder.y, he will
draw the most votes from the Repu bill.
caus, o. he Is q protectionist, and will
defeat Blaine. Bat aside from that, be
thought there was q great probability
that the Labor candidate will carry
two or three States, aud thereby defeat
An election by the people, when II
would be thrown into the House Of
ReproseLt 1tive, where the Republican,
held msj ri,y of the Congressm er
from majority Of the States and would
elect Blaine. This IL very frank aut
fair admission by Mr.. Springer. Ac
eordlng to his predictions there will be
very little hope for the election Of {
Democratic candidate except by til,
nomination OF protectionlst by tn,
Labor party. Upon this protectionis
Labor candidate hangs all his hopes OF ,
Democratic victory, but even then Their
is danger OF the Labor candidate run,
ming too well, and throwing the e,ec
ton into the House of Representatives
when a Republican will be elected
While we to some extent share the al
prehensiou Of Mr.. Springers, and wit
more OF an agreeable feeling than b
does, we cannot but think that q
attaches too much importance to q pro
tsctionist Labor candidate. When th
Republican platforn will be formu!s
ted and laid before the people there wi
be but little occasion for o protectionis
Labor candidate. The Repu6lica
party has been the friend Of rrotecte
labor ever since 1t had an existence an
that principle has strengthened with tn
gro With and age Of the party. Tha
there are abuses OF labor under pro.e,
tion In many instances cannot be deuie
bnt there Is no party more ready |
correct these abuses than the Rspubl
can party. Workipgmen will moi
than ever recognize this fact at tn
next election, and they will be slow
throw away their votes where they CO
do no good while they can get all the
desire from the Republican party.
