He Thinks Harrison VIII Be Renominated

dent.
Ex-Governor j. B. Foraker, of Ohio,
passed through the city last evening bound
for New York to attend to some legal busi-
| law practice, and when THE DISPATCH
man approached him he was engaged
| in drawing up petition on
pad The fre-eater was tired and not in
clined to talk very freely. He said he was
through with the Senatorial fight in Ohio,
and he was paying no attention to the talk
of bribery. SIT wouldn't be good taste, %
he remarked, however, ''for me to say any
thing on that subject Senator Sherman
has been reelected, and 1 have returned to
my work. My business has been neglected,
| and am anxious to catch up with it.
am not sure whether will go to the Mime
| apolis convention or not. 1 haven't thought
! about it. Nothing has been said about the
State convention as yet in Ohio, Our peo-
Pile think it is too early"
"Who will be the Republican candidate?"
was asked.
''Out in Ohio we are for Blaine, but am
! not sure that he will run. He can have the
nomination if he wants it. If Blaine won't
be candidate, then 1 suppose Harrison is
the next strongest man and will be renomi-
mated.
'sThe general opinion is that you are op-
posed to the President" the reporter sug-
gested.
''Oh, L don't know about that 1 NAV
have said some sharp things about him, but
that is past and gone. feel sure that the
Republican party will win next year. In
1890 there was a great howl made about the
tariff raising prices, but the people are very
well pleased with the Mckinley law
now. The campaign will be fought
on the tariff issue. 1 don't think
Mr.. Springer's more liberal views on this
subject will have any effect ON the country
Yes, 1 understand Judge Goff is a candidate
for Vice President. He is a good man-so
is General Alger'
This was the only allusion he made to the
Mi ,higan man, and it is significant. Sew
erai weeks ago the General and he had a
long conference at Cincinnati about the
Presidency. 1t was agreed then, it is said,
that if Blaine wouldn't run that Foraker
would work for Alger. The Ex-Governor
asked number of questions about Pennsyl-
vania politics, and was anxious to know
whether an early convention would be held
or not.

FARMERS CAN BE DUDES.
High-Top Boots Will Again Become the
Proper Thing-Rubber Goods Fast TAX
ing the Place of Leather in the Country
Prices Reduced.

Proper Thing-Rubber Goods Fast TAX
ing the Place of Leather in the Country
! Prices Reduced.
'tLocke on the Understanding" held a
| high place in colleges few years ago, and
no American author attempted to rival it,
but in an interview with an English shoe
, manufacturer published in The DISPATCH
few days ago, the EDglishman stated
that he had come to this country
to study American methods that
enabled shoe manufacturers to turn out
work so much more cheaply than it is done
in England. He concluded that American
machinery is better and American workmen
more skillful than those in Britain. But
there are some people who are disposed to
think that in the long run an American
shoe is not cheaper than an
English one, as the latter has
great wearing qualities, and those who
have corns or bunions find much COM
fort in an old shoe. They also say that the
expeditions process of tanning leather in
this country does not conduce to lasting nor
to the exclusion of water.
A quarter of a century ago American
farmers nearly all wore leather top boots;
now very few wear them, the majority
wearing rubber instead. They say that
leather is no longer water proof,
except at price that they do
not care. to pay They admit that rubber
is uncomfortable, but still hold its dis
comfort preferable to that of having wet
feet, and rubber boots can be cleansed with
but little trouble, even limestone clay mud
washing off them readily. At first unprin-
cipled manufacturers brought rubber into
disgrace by the trash with which the market
was flooded at the close of the Civil War.
In Pithole City, Venango county, Pa, an
oil prospector often paid ST for a
pair of gum boots in the morning and in
the evening found his stocking soles on the
ground. A pair of alleged rubber soles
would not stand an hours journey over
frozen ground Some manufacturers had
taken advantage of the tariff, which was
prohibitory at that time, to swindle the
public, but eventually their greed DER
leaped itself, and they found themselves with
q large lot of unstable goods on hand.
Now pair of rubber boots costing 50 80 will
wear an entire winter, and if soled with
leather, two winters, and very few leather
boots find a market, as leather has de-
Perforated in the same ratio as rubber manu-
facture has been improved.
Few people of late years, except farmers,
have worn high boots, but fashion writer
says the 400 have decided that after this
year boots shall again be worn, as they
have despaired finding any method of max
ing pantaloons that will prevent their bag
ging at the knees. Accordingly next win
ter the rustic may be able to hide his
rusticity in measure, provided he dis
cards his present fashion of stufing his
trousers into his boot-legs.
