CONCERNING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
Representative Hills aud Others Interviewed
Regarding the Nominations

h~ASHINGFON, June o. Ahcic 'SAJ
general satisfaction expressed by both
democrats and republicans owe the
work of the convention. The demo-
Gratis in congress like the way the tariff
was treated, while the republicans are
happy to see the lines drawn on the
tariff question, making the issue in I'M
mistakable terms, and leaving the fight
/ fair one in m open field.
Chairman Mills said: 81 I'm ex-
tremely glad to see that they toed the
mark on the tariff question. 1t was the
proper thing for them to not only re-
affirm the tariff plank in the platform
of 1884, but to indorse the presidents
message defining that plank. L am
especially gratified at the specific en-
dorsement the convention gave of my
tariff bill. This settles the passage of the
measure in the house. L was pretty
confident of it before, but now there
can be no doubt about it. / expect to
see every democrat in the house vote
for the Mills bill. The national demo-
cratic party has spoken, and | know OF
no individual democratic member who
can afford to refuse to obeythe demand.
The tariff is to be the sole issue OF the
campaign. The troops are in the field
ready for the fight. The president is
III command"
''Are you satisfied with the nomina-
ton of Nj. thurman"
Thoroughly" replied Mr.. Mills;
thoroughly in every, particular; |
think we will win with Cleveland and
Thurman and the tariff. The president
is n personal, as well rs n general guam
tity and quality in the democratic party.
He will be an issue with the tariff.
He is the foremost man of the party.
The Mills bill was compiled directly
under his supervision. We did not &C
rs far as the president desired, but We
went in his direction. Thurman is the
hest man that could have been nomina-
ted. To my mind, it settles who will
lead the republican ticket. 1t makes
necessary the nomination of John Sher-
man. l presume an eastern man will be
second on the ticket-probably Morton
or Phelps.
Representative Mckinley (rep.), of
Ohio, had this to say: For republican
success the ticket and the platform
pleases me UNNECESSARILY, and [ think /
express the sentiment of the entire re-
publican side of the house. Allen Ct.
Thurman is q good old man;
[ have long been his personal
friend. He will lend character to the
ticket, but he will not give it strength.
The most that can be hoped for from
his nomination is a full democratic vote
in Ohio, and that can not make the
state democratic. 1t will be republican
no matter who is nominated by the re-
publican party. The democrats made a
fist of it on the question of tariff re-
form. 1t tried to straddle, and in its
the worst record that it possibly could
for free trade. That is the truth of it.
The president wants free trade. He
has said as much in his message to con
gress."
General G. G. Gr~osvernor, of Ohio,
(rep.) said: ''The whole platform taken
and constituted together is declara-
ton against the policy of protection and
in favor of the Mills bill. 1t will be so
accepted by the country. The platform
however, will not be an important
feature in the contest. The message of
Mr.. Cleveland and the bill of the ways
and means committee will constitute the
issue when the republican declaration is
made. Judge Thurman will appear as
the campaign goes on Is q DIR. Jykell
and q Mr.. Hyde-a good citizen and q
bad politician. He will call out a great
democratic vote in Ohio and be beaten.
