New YoRK, March 3.-The Tribune
prints the following interview with Sem
ntorE varts: '
aWhat is to be done with the tariff"
was asked.
ri can only say what / would like to
see done. would like to see every Re-
publican in the house vote solidly against
the tariff bill"
would you have them vote to strike
out the enacting clause7"
Gas to the details Of the vote, l am
willing to trust to the members them
selves, but I do hope to see a solid vote
Of the Republicans in the house against
the tariff bill. Then when the bill came
ito the senate We would d the same
thing there. I doubt, however. if the
bill would reach the senate. 1t would
be awkward for the Democrats if 1t
should. / think they want to raise the
issue on astarif only two years hence,
with all disturbance of business that it
would entail. They are welcome to tho
contest if they want it."
Chow about silver are you going to
make a speech?"
Undoubtedly. Why, l am posted IN
big letters, posted in small letters, adver-
tised in the press, and even paraded in
gutter-snipcs to that effect. I couldn't
think of disappointing the public after so
much previous notice."
"Well," said a bystander. II hope you
know.that Wall street is not tho State Of
New York'on that question"
ooh, I know they do not vote the sen.
timent Of the state in Wall street by
many degrees"
"They say that you are their senator
that they elected you," continued tho
gentleman.
"But;I toll :them," rejoined the scna-
ator. "that their votes were not cast for
me. The Times and Evening Post,
which are. demanding certain action of
me, were opposed to my election. Isee
that the Commercial advertiser says l
ought to resign. I haven't considered
that yet, but I think I might satisfy
Goodwin by a provision such as they
are trying to make for tho president in
his veto power. They want to let him
veto a clause in the bill without vetoing
the entire bill. I might resign as far rs
the silver question is concerned just to
please Mr.. Goodwin, but in absence of a
law to permit that I shall make my
speech when the propertime comes, and
I shall speak for the people Of the State
Of New York-all the people,"
"You were up at Detroit, senator T;
how would such a gathering as you had
there operate in New YorkT
II have been thinking considerably
about that very thing. 1t seems to me
that such a reunion would be an i'm.
portant step in New York. The Detroit
meeting is not generally understood.
The state had got into such shape, asr
CARDS politics, that for a time there was
dangerthatit would go Democratic. We
carried it by close work in 1884. There
las been q club formed at Detroit for the
.peciic purpose ofreorganizing the state
nd making it solidly Republican again.
It was this club that arranged the ban.
:.uet. 1t was held in m old rink, which
lad been converted into a theatre.
Ehcre were long galleries, and IN i'm.
.nense floor on which the tables were
prepared. There was no wine. There
we're no cigars OF smoking. The ban.
!uet itself was more of a cold collation.
..!Ihan q dinner. But a thousand earnest
Republicans sat there to consider the
welfare Of the country. They came in
parties Of ten and twelve and fifteen
from all parts Of the state. Only two Or
three counties were unrepresented.
They went away full Of the conviction
that this government must be restored
to the control Of the honesty and loyalty
whose homo is III the heart Of the Re-
publican masses. Yes, it does seem to
me that we might with great profit fol-
low right here in New York tho exam
