BosToy. April 2-The Herald has long in
terview with Presidens-elect Clarkson, Of the
Republican League. Garrison says in part:
ssThe failure Of young men to participate in
politics il q weakness OF the Republican party
in New England. believe the New England
Democracy has outgeneraled its Republican OPP
ponents In that respect They have as leaders
the sons of the founders of Republication.
The Republican party must utilize their young
men, The labor question win figure In the next
campaign, and ought to. Wealth should b
more evenly divided"
@Do you interpret the Cincinnati convention
Is favoring Blaine instead of Harrison:s'
ssThe Republican candidate must be q man
who can maintain the soiidity of the party In
the great agricultural region west Of the Nissis-
sippi. The candidate must not only be new to
the people, but must not be far from the farm.
Politics viii go more closely to the farms here
after than they have In the last fifty years. The
farmers are going to assert themselves In public
affairs and for the good of the race"
Garrison said he believed Cleveland viii be
the next Democratic candidate
ssIf his personal views on the silver question
do not quite suit the West and South, he will
make them suit He feels that the gold people
win elect him anyway and as the Southern and
Western Democracy believe in him as . man OF
destiny he can successfully hypnotize them on
the silver question, and think he Is doing it
To win in 1892 said Garrison, I'VE must bring
up the Republican newspaper circulation to
meet that OF the Democratic party"
is the programme to circulate millions of ar
gumen;s directly to the houses OF roters?"

against the denomination of President Harri-
SON."
81 have no personal choice for president
Time viii indicate the man If the silver ques-
ton 10 settled the situation will be greatly
cleared The seat of Republican power-the
West-will never consent to see the treasury Of
the country dwarfed to a gold basis and the
West will no. consent to any candidate or plat
form that will not represent the double standard
idea and the greater part will not consent to q
platform that will not represent silver as money
by the coinage OF the American product
With such position on money and
with a position for revision Of the
banking laws so SIS to make our banking advant-
ages favorable to agricultural communities,
cities and towns, and with purpose TO provide
good money and enough of il, the Republican
party viii hold the West as solid for the party
az it was in 1855, 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, and able
to administer justice on all differing interests
with true regard to all national interests presi-
dent Harrison has made a faithful executive in
every public sense, and il wanting only in per-
sonal popularity, which gives men the power of
electricity in politics. He has demonstrated his
qualities fully, and his intellectual ability il
not second to any American living today, not
even his phenomenal secretary of state
