WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Mr. Mills l.
here, although not in stalwart health.
He has overtaxed himself in the recent
campaign and has not entirely regained
his strength. He has decided not to run
speaker it will be fitting finale TO his
long public career. He does not assume
to speak about his candidacy except 10
say that he would be proud 10 hold such
dignified and honorabls position. MIR.
Mills predicts the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland in 1892. He saws that in New
York the
CAUSE OF TARIFF REFORM
has been preached in every schoolhouse
by hundreds of young aud enthusiastic
Democrats. He says that great change
is being wrought in that state and the
politicians will be unable to stem the
rising tide. He regards Blaine as the
strongest Republican to-day, but admits
that Harrison may manipulate the fed

Mr. Mills regards the democratic VIC

is here, and said on being interviewed:
"Everything is exceedingly prosperous
in the South just now. The cotton crop
is big and the South IS getting rich fast.
No, | can I tell what will be done about
the force bill. The bill itself is 80 radi-
cally wrong in principle that it should

of the South, however, Is so well assured
that it can't be hurt by any force bill. -
