Ne Talks About Michigan Matters N
Chicago.
Prom the Inter Ocean;
The Hon. Jay A. Hubbell, of Hough-
ton, Mich, was found Al the Auditor
iuIn yesterday. He was smoking .
fragrant Havana, and had the air of .
man who had plenty to hive on and was
taking life easy. Things have evidently
gone well with the famous captain who
was at the head of the Congressional
Campaign Committee that landed Gar
field IN the Presidential chair.
"what do you know about Michigan
politics and the situation In general."
be was asked.
''well, SIR, l don't know anything.
am . sort oil . political hack number.
With the exception Of serving my peo-
pie time or two in the State Senate
haven't had much to do with politics
since retired from Congress in 1885,"
"will Michigan present any favorite
son for the PresldencyT'
"Yes; understand that General
Aiger wants il. and the delegation will
be instructed for him, unless Blaine
enters the field. In that event the
great American will carry Michigan in
. whirl. Blaine's brilliant management
of foreign affairs has given MIN =
greater hold on the people than he ever
had before, and unlees his health fails
he will surely be the next pres
ident. The peoPle like Harrison
and hls administration well, enough,
and have no complaint TO make, but
the enthusiasm Tor Blaine is irresht-
,ble." "Will prohibition and the
Farmers Alliance cut any figure% ~
never hear anything Of the prohibition
party. We have patrons Of industry
instead OF the Farmers Alliance in
Michigan. The secretary of the far
mers' committee tried to deliver them
over TO the Democrats, but the CHAIR
man tells me it can't be done.
PETER and his followers have been
whining for more money. All of us
want more money, but We want good
money. l think the good crops will
kill OFT that crowd. Next yea: / ex-
pect to see them switch from wild Fl.
nancIal views to sound ones. The FARM
ers are now getting good prices for
everything they can raise, and the de-
mand can not be supplied. Why, to
give you an illustration, own q farm
myself, and u few days ago l sent one
Of my men out to buy some young
steers. lie couldn't find them for love
or money"
what about the financial strin-
gencyT
~ do not expect to see easy sailing
for this country until the close Of the
present year. Then look out. All
Europe will nave seen that America Of
fers the safest securities for investnen Mt,
and can stand any pressure or any test,
and you will see money flowing into the
United States IN such q way as 1t never
did before, and we will enjoy the first
all-around great big boom that we have
ever had. PefferItes and others who
now curse the Republican party will
rise up and call il blessed"
''Do you know anything of the Ohio
campaign
''I believe Mckinley will get there;
but how | wish the election was coming
OFF next year, after the big crops are
gathered IN, he would carry Ohio In .

"Michigay under the Democratic
Governor, osdn't do much for the
worlds fair, but our grand old State
will do better by and by. Chicago 10 the
coming great city, and the worlds fair
will increase its growth"
Mr.. Hubhell was here TO meet his
