| WASHINGTON, April S.-Senator Johr
| Sherman, in the course of a very interest
ing interview at Mansfield, Ohio, yesterday
said, among other things: u guess the
| administration is all right. Harrison has
/ given the country quiet, conservative adj
! hLnlStration, and am of the opinion that
| the people applaud and admire such pol
| icy. They like safety and business sagacity
! il u president
| DO you think he will be renominated?"
mo, do not. 1t seems to be the dispo
sltlon OF the people to do away with the
older party leaders aud look for material in
the younger element of the party. Say
Maj. Mckinley, for instance. OF course,
the convention is u long way OF, but my
Judgment IS that some man, younger than
Harrison, will be nominated"
do you think that MIR. Blaine still has
presidential aspirations2'
Nc; l do not. l think that Mr. Blaine
Is quite unwilling to go through second
campaign as a leader. He is careful of his
health, and that one consideration, | think,
will keep him out Of the list of candi-
dates"
DO you think that Maj Mckinley can be
elected governor of Ohio, in view of the
fact that his nominate ion will emphasize
tariff and silver issues?"

think, though, as n rule, 4 Democrat
usually sticks to his party, no matter
what the issue is. but even with
silver question, the Republicans will carry
Ohio"
The senator thought that the Northwest
in the next presidential campaign would get
back into the Republican fold.
Whom do you think the Democrats will

q am not now quite so sanguine that
tune thought so; but, in view of the OPP
position new see ind read of, 1 90 not
think he will be nominated"
How about the force bill3'
ut should have been passed" he an
swered. Not that I favored the entire
bill, which passed the house OF representa-
tives. Under our magma charter the con-
gress has q RIG INT TO regulate congressional
elections, and it should have done SO. l
favored 4 law which would have been gen
eral, applicable to every congressional dis
trict in the land. This would have removed
the cry of ssctionalism.''
why was not that feature a part of the
bill?,
Because, strange to say, of the opposi-
ton from New England. Some Of the New
England states have election laws, which
such i lay of general application, might
have contiicted with, and from such quar-
tcrs developed the opposition to the general
law. Then, again, we had Il division in the
senate. There WAS Senator Stewart Of Ne
