made some time ago, announces that he will pre-

LABOR AND POLITICS.


Henry Georges Views on Topics OF the
Time-He Thinks Cleveland will be
Elected IL he sticks to his Message.
Henry George was mingling with the groups of
statesmen In the lobby Of the Ebbitt House this
morning. He did not seem to be known, and
therefore attracted no especial attention He is
hardly to hereQognized from the pictures printed
In newspapers over his nHme. With high siil
hat on, the broad bald spot extending back from
his forehead is hid, and he affects more the dress
and manners OF q man who might do manual labor
than the appearance OF thinker and theorist.
He put on his overcoat and looked out at the rain
that might interfere with his lecture tonight
Then be began writing telegram.

ened him, he said to a STAR reporter. Then he
handed his dispatch to the operator and resumed.
'Tf the democrats fight on the plain issue OF free
But they must go into it boldly. It won't do to
be man 'fraid OF his horse II Mr.. Cleveland
sticks to his message he Will be elected"
He turned to translate his dispatch to the
operator, and then added:
'They must make the issue free trade"
''You look upon the Presidents message as q
free trade document?" suggested THE STAR.
Certainly" was the reply. "Dont you? II
they stand by that it win be all right"
"How about your own party?" asked the re-

"Wlll you put Presidential candidate In the

"NO. think not 1 do not think 1t advisable

"Your not having candidate would be in the

"Would that be q reason for your not entering

"If the democrats fight for free trade-caIl It

that would antagonize them. They would gain

asked THE STAR.

emphatic reply.
"Wnat is there in the opposition to him that is

'They say there is combination to defeat his
