New York, Nov. 11.-President Harri-
son talked freely today sbout~the recent
defeat Of his party and tho causes which
Washington to THE HERALD. The over
whelming defeat OF the Republican party,
the president said, was due mainly to the
position of the party on the tariff question
Republicans forced the issue to an extreme
which did not meet the approval of
the people. Another important ele-
ment, the president said, which had
much to do with the defeat of
the Republican, party last Tuesday
was the Force bill and it was felt in the
north as well "a the south. The popular
belief was that the Force bin kept the solid
south within it's old lines, but in the pres
ident's estimation it did more than that
for it brought TO the support OF the Demo-
Gratis many voters in the north. The YER
dict Of last Tuesday. the president contin
ued, could be construed In but one way, it
meant the condemnation of the extreme
high tariff poncy Of the Repu blican party.
President Harrison has very decided
views as TO the cOuduct cf the campaign.
He does not think very much of Chairman
Carter of the Republican national commit
.
meDt only when it bscanle evident that no
more acceptable one could be secured. He
said that the campaign had been misman-
aged and that much better results would
have been secured out for the RAINBOW
chesinen scheme to which Mr.. Carter gave
countenGnce and assistance The pres
ident is particularly chagrined at the
result in his native state aud believed
it was largely due to lack of good gem
Dlufn- mt h.. tad fl4nrv, no
said, and what he endeavored to impress
on them was the absolute necessity Of
keeping the Republican states 10 line and
carrying New York. The president said
he had realized tor some time past that the
drift of public sentiment was against him
and his party, and IL wss this that led bin
to force this advice upon party leaders.
Disregard of this advice ma much 20 do
with the result last Tuesday.
The president realized before any cleo
ton returns came in on Tuesday that he
was defeated man. he hoped Tor success
until the last hour, but admitted that he
had not expected it. One of the reasons
for the presidents douot as 10 his election
was the well known disaffection of num-
ber of prominent leaders OF his party.
Tais was evidenced by 2 statement with
regard to Dudley, Quay and Cam
eron. AS to Cameron tue president be-
the ticket, but actually did Gll in his power
to defeat it. Cameron's influence, like
Qusy's, extends FAR beyond the confines Of
Pennsylvania, and the president evidently
realized that both these gentlemen were in
a position To do nuch injury 30 the ticket
in the heretofore btful states of New
YORK and Indiana. AS to Colonel Dudley,
tue president said he did not believe Gel
onel Dudley did anything TO iDJure the
ticket, but his Influence had rather been
OF negEtive character. Practically the
president admitted that Colonel Dudley's
influence in Indiana had been used, if not
TO knife the ticket. TO keep MS friends
from working for it. In closing the inter
view, the president said that while some
mistakes might have been made. it was
quite evident to any man that nothing
could have withstood the popular uprising
of the people against the high protective
policy towhich the Republican party STOOD
pledged by the Mckinley law.
