Hon. G. H. ]. Tayl0r's Views on
National Politics.
Cleveland Will Be Nominated by
AcclamatiOn. A New Idea
of the Vice Presidency
-s'Tariff Reform"
the Platform.

Undoubtedly one of the most intel.
igest, energetic and popular colored
men in the United States was in Sc
dalia to-day.
He was no other than Hon. G. H.
j. Taylor, ex United States minister
to Liberia, under President Cleveland,
and at pre-, ent the able editor Of the
Kansas City, Kansas, American citi-
zen.
While Mr.. Taylor is quite a young
man he has been prominent as a leader
of his race in the democratic party for
several years. He formerly practiced
Law in Atlanta and worked in the in
terest of his people.
Hundreds and hundreds of letters
from such distinguished gentlemen as
Calvin s. Brice. chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Executive commit
tee, Col. John Temple Graves, the
far famed editor OF the south and
Justly styled the second Henry w.
Grady, Senators Cockerill and Vest,
and even Missouri's town Dave"
Francis have written him the most
cordial letters.
The BAzoo reporter was shown a
letter from Gov. Francis, which is 60
much like him that a few lines Of it is
quoted: "You have not asked me to
subscribe, but Ienclose you my CHECK
for SO. 90 and ask YOU to please send
me your paper regularly for one year
and also one to some benighted negro
republican, who ! hope will, by read.
ing your able editorials, see the error
of his ways and turn therefrom."
The BAzoo has not space to give an
extended notice of these testimonials,
but the men who have been herein
mentioned are sufficient guarantee of
the uDflinching, untiring sound "true
and tried" principles possessed bv
Hon. c. II. ]. Taylor, as democrat
and God-send to his race.
"Ob. yes!' he said, when asked if
he would take any part in politics
this year. 81 shall make
at least a dozen speeches
in Iowa during their campaign, and /
have just accepted the personal invi-
tation of Governor Campbell Of Ohio,
to deliver ten speeches in his state"
"Whom do you think will be the
nominee of your party on the national
ticket next year, Mr.. Taylor?"
That is a long way of, but it is not
so difficult to my mind, Grover Cleve.
land will not only be the nominee but
he will be nominated by acclama.
ton"
"What will be the most prominent
feature in the platform
"The fight will be tariff reform and
victory. The penson frauds will also
be shown up and so will the disgraces
of the billion -dollar-congress. The vice
president of our ticket will come from
the agricultural classes, and am
pretty sure he will also come from the
west.
"What about Cleveland's views on
the silver question Will they be &C
cepted by the rest Of You ?"
THAT will come out alright. You
know congress will meet before the
campaign opens and with SO republi-
cans and over 200 democrats you can
see what a record our party can and
will make. Cleveland is a man, fair
and square. If he don't agree with
the platform he will not stand on it. "
"Will Harrison be renominated p
HE will il Mr.. Blaine emphatical-
" refuses to make the race, otherwise
1mean to cay Blaine is the man il he
wants it.
s'These reports about Mr.. Blaine's
health" he continued are all fakes,
and am inclined to
believe that "Lige" Halford, presi-
dent Harrison's private secretary, you
know, lie responsible for them. I
knew him when he was reporter on
Col. News paper in indianapolis. At
that time he would 90 out and sit all
night on . stump to get sensation
quarter of an inch long l have no
reason to believe that his reporterial
ambition has declined in these later
years when theresa good position in
it."
