The New York Tribune printed on Tues
day an extended outline Of facts and i'm
pressions gathered by Mr. T. c. Crawford,
its Washington correspondent, in various
interviews with President Harrison during
the past winter. Mr.. Crawford saws that
Mr. Harrison is absolutely the head Of his
administration, and that even his political
opponents no longer attempt 10 belittle his
ability. He is regarded in Republican
circles in Washington as the chief of his
party, to whom will be offered without Sc
rious contest the nomination for second
term" In this Mr. Blaine will give his
loyal support After the adjournment Of
Congress the President talked freely of its
work His great disappointment was that
the elections bill was not passed He be-
lieves the country has gone far enough in
silver legislation for the present, and all
financial Legislation should now be allowed
TO rest. He takes great satisfaction in the
success Of the reciprocity policy under the
new tariff law, approves the plan for build
ing a navy, and the mail subsidy measure
to rehabiltate our shipping interests. As
a whole the work of the 5lst Congress was
of the most important character and was
faithfully performed. Finally the Presi
dent believes fully in the future of the Re
publican party, and the signs of the times
indicate TO him that a strong reaction has
already set in in its favor.
