KISS AND MAKE UP.
That Is What Stanford and
Huntington Will Do.
The Senator Not a Presidential
Candidate.
But May Possibly Support General
Miles.
An Interesting Interview With Senator
Stanford's Secretary, Mr.. Frank Shay
Some Railroad and Political Point
ers-The Huntington Quarrel.

'''Of course Senator Stanford is can
.didate for denomination. He is in the
field now."
So said Mr.. Frank Shay, of the South
ern Pacific railway company, ,toa HERALD
reporter yesterday. Mr.. Shay for many
years was Mr.. Stanford's secretary, and
his relations with the millionaire sena-
tor are still very close.
Mr.. Shay has boil on his nose. But
he was very amiable and talked freely
to the HERALD man who saw him at the
Nadeau Yesterday. Mr. Shay is said to
be here working Mr.. Stanford's canvass;
a man who can handle politicians, have
a boil on the end OF his nose, and pre-
serve his amiability, has certain quail
ties of greatness about him worthy OF
respect.
Mr.. Shay said he was only down here
for pleasure, and had found it, both in
this city and Coronado. OF course he
was not in politics. Certainly not
But Mr.. Shay gave some very interesting
political information.
"Mr. Stanford has sent instructions to
support the entire Republican ticket"
said the gentleman, in reply to an init
nation that some people thought the
senator was not in sympathy with the
result of the Sacramento convention.
"Sent instructions?"
eyes; to his friends, l mean. OF
course his wishes are generally regarded
as instructions by those close to him.
No sir he will not work against any can
didate on the ticket"
elbow does his quarrel with Hunt
ington stand?'
"Just about the same; but II am sure
it will be soon thing OF the past.
'It originated over Mrs. Hunting
ton, did it not?"
''Well now, that is not fair question
to ask me. I'll tell you one thing,
though, am familiara with the business
matters which caused their disagree
ment and am certain that when they
meet, they will be friends. There were
matters which Mr.. Huntington blamed
Mr.. Stanford for, which the latter knew
absolutely nothing about"
"Will Mr.. Stanford ever gain control
OF the road again %
"He has never lost it. As chairman
of the executive committee he can die
tate the roads policy, and he has the
ration of the Southern Pacific company.
l don't think he will ever be president
again though, for his interests are CEN
tered in his senatorial work and his uni
versity. He is now in Europe mainly
in the interests of that institution.
inspecting European universities and
engaging instructors. L think Col.
Fred. Crocker will be the next presi-
dent. He is young man, and both Mr..
Stanford and Mr.. Huntington are well
on in years. the former is 66, and the
latter 69."
"Will Senator Stanford figure as a
presidential candidate %
''No sir, think not. 1 don't believe
he has any aspirations that way. He
does not believe that the time is near
when Pacific coast man can get that
nomination. He believes also that we
need comparatively young men in that
office. He and General Nelson A. Miles
are very good friends. and | should not
be surprised if General Miles should be
candidate and could make any show
ing of strength, to see Senator Stanford
give him his entire support"
'Do you anticipate that Mr.. Hunting
ton will oppose Mr.. Stanford's re-elec-
ton ?'
''No. l think the difficulties between
the two will be healed; anyway Mr..
Huntington would not go to the ex-
treme, | think, in any case. The two
have never met since the row occurred,
except in a board meeting. When they
come together and talk the matter over,
| think both will cool down consider
ably"
''When will the Senator return ?"
"He will be in New York on October
22nd and will be in San Francisco on
November 10th, too late to take an active
part in the campaign, but, as / have
said, he has requested his friends to
stand in for the whole ticket"

son Ross, of the general passenger de-
partment of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, young railroad man OF acknowl-
edged talent.
