on Various Matters

on Various Matters.
WASHINGTON, July I0th.-Mr. Morrow
was hard at work answering a pile of let
tiers that had accumulated during his
short stay at Cape May, when California
Associated Press representative called upon
him tonight. In answer to question,
Mr.. Morrow said that the silver BILL as
agreed upon by the Committee of Confer
ence and adopted by the Senate to-day, was
! very satisfactory 10 him. 1t was good
BILL 1t was identical with the COM
promise measure which was at one
time agreed upon by the Republican
caucus, and if matters had nspired ac-
cordipg TO his wish, the bill would have
been law by this time.
Mr.. Morrow had seen the purported in.
terview with the new Chinese Minister to
this country, in which the latter is made to
say that the Chinese would adopt retalia.
tory measures and exclude American citi-
zens from the Chinese Empire.
Mr.. Morrow expresses belief that the
| tariff bill will pass the Senate, and that
| then conference of the California delegs-
ton would be able to secure the restoration
OF the provisions in relation to sweet wines.
The Republican party is friendly to the
productive interests Of our Coast, as well as
to all sections of the country.
THE sugar schedule will probably re-.
main as ii is, although think the revenues
required for paying pensions and other in
creased expenses of the Government would
require the retention of portion of the
present sugar duties until such time as we
might secure by proper treaties fair re-
turn for whatever reduction we make in
our duties. In other words, / would give
some attention to Blaine's policy of ex-
tending our trade and commerce to other
countries"
The California Associated Press CORE
spondent thought this would be good op-
portunity of eliciting from Mr.. Morrow an
answer to the question which is now being
propounded among the politicians of Cali
fornia: "Mr. Morrow, are YOU candidate
for the Governorship of California? pre-
sume you will not object to answer a fair
question"
Not in the least, will say to YOU lust
what | have written to a number of my
friends who have urged me TO make the
race. l am not particularly anxious to
continue in public life, and during the five
years have been in Congress my business
in San Francisco has been carried on
in a desultory way and has hardly
been satisfactory to me. 1 feel / cannot
afford TO continue in Congress, and under
the circumstances would not be warranted
IL,
though it should be rendered me. As for
the Govecnorship, 1 will not make any
effort to secure the nomination. My friends
| are urging me to run. l am not disposed
to enter the canvass seeking the nomina-
tion. Still, l am not insensibe to
the duty and honor connected
with the Governorship of that great
State, and if the nomination were accorded
me, would feel it my duty to accept.
| feel confident the Republican party will
elect their State ticket, including a major

which will return our Republican Senator.
There will, therefore. be an opportunity for
the successful candidate to carry out a pol

| that would be beneficial to the best inter-
ests of the State. The last Legislature was
Democratic, and exceedingly extravaganza in
its legislation. Governor Waterman IRE

this extravaganza. With a Republican
Legislature this difficulty would not occur
to such an extent / think taxpayers
realize the responsibility attached to the
coming election, and will consider it well
in making State and county nominations
Under such circumstances gubernatorial
| nomination would be compliment which
| no one in political life would be at liberty
| to decline. There are, however, other
| candidates for Governor, who have strong
| claims for consideration, and who will be
supported with view of giving the State
an able and energetic administration of its
