THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
ClarkSOn Expresses His Opinion On The
Outlook for Next Year.

Boston, April 23-The Herald has long
interview with President-elect Clarkson Of
the Republican League. Clarkson says, in
part: 1.-The failure of the young men to
participate in politics is a weakness of the
Republican party in New England. l be-
lieve the New England Democracy has out
generated its Republican opponents in that
respect. They have as leaders the sons of
the founders of Republicanism. The Re-
publican party must utilize their young men.
The labor question will figure in the next
campaign and ought to. Wealth should be
more evenly distributed"
DO you interpret the Cincinnati Conven-
tion as favoring Blaine instead of Har-
rison?"
:" was not at the convention, so cannot
assume to judge of its sentiments" was the
rejoinder.
" 1t is said you are personally out for
Blaine, as against the denomination of
President Harrison" suggested the reporter.
i have no personal choice for President"
replied Clarkson. Time will indicate the
man. Ii the silver question is settled the
situation win be greatly cleared The seat
OF Republican power-the West-will never
consent to see the Treasury of the country
dwarfed to gold basis. The West will not
consent to any candidate or platform that
will not represent the double standard idea,
platform that will not represent silver as
money by the coinage of the American
product. With such n position on money,
and with position for the revision of the
banking laws so as to make our banfing ad-
Vantases favorable to agricultural cOmmu-
mites, cities and towns, and with the pur-
pose to provide good money and enough OF
1t, the Republican party will hold the West
as solid for the party as it was in 1883, while
the Mckinley bill will carry New York and
the doubtful States.
The next Republican candidate for
President must be man broad enough to
cover this broad land and able to administer
justice on all different interests, with true
regard to all the national interests. Presi-
dent Harrison has made a faithful Execu-
tive In every public sense, ana is lacking
only in that personal popularity which
gives man the power Of electricity in pol-
tics. He has demonstrated his qualities
fully. and his pure intellectual ability is not
second to any American living to-day. not
even to his phenomenal Secretary Of Sta e.
Whoever is the Republican candidate must
be man who can maintain the solidity OF
the party in the great agricultural region
west of the Mississippi. The candidate
must not only be near TO the people, but
must be from the farm. All political parties
will go more closely to the farms hereafter
than they have in the past fifty years. Tie
farmers are going to assert themselves in
public affairs and for the good OF the race.
Garrison said he believed Cleveland will
be the next Democratic candidate. If his
personal views on the silver question do not
quite suit the South and West he will make
them suit. He feels that the gold people
will trust him anyway, and as the Western
and Southern Democracy believe in him as
man OF destiny lie can successfully hypno-
tie them on the silver question, and think
he is doing it.
"To win in 1892" said Clarkson, "we
must bring up the Republican newspaper
circulation to meet that OF the Democratic
party in its programme for the circulation
of millions of arguments directly to the
houses Of voters"
