hitherto declined to make any COM
ment upon the result Of the presiden-
tial election beyond the single laconic
remark, 1--WE did not have votes
enough" To-day, however, the Dtspatch
correspondent succeeded in per-
suading Mr.. Quay to say a little more.
The senator was found sitting in his
library debating replies TO several
hundred kilograms OF congratulation
which he had received fromifriends in
Pennsylvania over the Republican ma
jority on joint ballot Of eighty-two in
the legislature, which insures his re-
election to tho United States senate.
When asked to explain the causes oil
Republican deioat in the baltic Tor the
presidency, tile senator turned to u sun
ny window in which parrot was
swinging in cage. The senator cockod
one eye ut the parrot, and the bird in
response blinked both eyes and sang
very distinctly: "Oh, dear, what can
the matter beY
THE SENATOR SERIOUS AND THOUGHTFUL.
Mr.. Quay grew very serious and
thoughtful when he was asked for his
opinion as to the future policy OF the
Republican party.
~ believe" he said, that tho Re.
publican party should not yield one
inch in its theories as to the benefits OF
! aprotective tariff. believe, too, that
the bills passed at the last session OF
the house, placing wool on the free list
and reducing the duties on wooden
manufactures, and removing the duties
from tin plate, binding Irvine, cotton
ties aud cotton bsgging and from ma
chinery used in the manufacture OF cot
ton bagging, all of which are now in the
senate finance committee, should be
retained in that committee and not re-
ported. In fact, l believe they will not
be reported.
DUTY OF TIE pgMocRATIC HOUSE.
"If the business interests of the coun-
try are anxious to know what scheme
of Legislature awaits them it is the duty
Of the Democratic house, as soon as it
meets in December, to frame a general
tariff bill, indicating in broad and de.
finite form lust what the revenue policy
of the next administration is TO be-"
"Do you think, Senator, that Mr..
Cleveland will call an extra session OF
congress next March?"
mo, | do not One reason for Mr..
Cleveland's election is that he is esti-
mated as a conservative man, He is
not likely to be dragged by the more
radical and revolutionary elements OF
his party into frightening, at the very
outset, the people who have believed
in his conservatism. 1t may perhaps
be too soon to soon to speak positively,
but really cannot believe that there
will be any extra session OF Congress-
beyond the usual executive session OF
the senate to confirm the most impor-
tant appointments"
THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Speaking in tho most general terms,
what do you think OF the future OF the
Republican party?"
"You may cay that consider moth
ing moro probable than that four years
hence there will be an exact reversal oil
the popular verdict OF 1892, and that, as
in 1888, Mr.. Harrison will succeed Mr.,
Cleveland in the presidency. The peo-
pie had four years of Cleveland once
and they had enough. AS have said
before, Mr.. Cleveland's denomination,
while he still held the presidential Of
fee, made it easier for the Republican
party to succeed, Four years'hence, al
Ter wages have been reduced and after
the enormous cost OF labor strikes has
been charged to the party in power, it
may be that the people will demand the
denomination and reelection OF Cen
eral Harrison"
Senator Quay expects to return from
Florida in time for the opening OF Con-
gress.
PROBABLE POLICY OF THE DEMOCRATS,
Some interest in the light upon the
probable policy OF the Democrats at the
next session of congress was given to
the Dapdfch correspondent to-day by
Representative Cultivate, Of Ohio.
Mr.. Cultivate is chairman OF the house
committee on military affairs, and is
one OF the best informed aud most So
gacious oil the Democratic leaders in
congress. 1t will be seen that his ex-
pressions are somewhat in line with
those uttered by Senator Quay. Said
Mr.. Cultivate:
'It is useless to anticipate any inter
ference with our banking laws at this
time. The Democrats do not expect
and they could not il they so desired
to make any change in our present
system OF making oil issue OF money
come directly from the federal govern
ment. The 10 per cent tax on state
bank issues will not be repealed. 1t is
not my way, nor that of the Democratic
party, to kill thing by taxing it out OF
existence, but now that the state bank
issues are done for by an inhibitory tax
they will not be revived. There will
not be an extra session OF Congress.
Mr.. Cleveland ia opposed to such q
thing, and said so eight years ago.
Everybody knows that the party re-
sponsible for an extra session Of Con-
eress in times Of peace always suffers
defeat at the next election.
THE TARIFF NOT TO De SLAUGHTERED.
Another thing, it is absurd to sup
pose that the Democrats in Congress in
tend to roll up their sleeves and jump
at the work Of destroying American in
dustries. The present tariff law will be
very materially modified, but there will
be only slight reductions Of duties upon
articles which are successfully manu-
fnctured in our country. We will give
the manufacturers free raw materials,
and will put tinplate upon the free list,
because It is not an established industry
and cannot be made so in this country.
The established industries will not be
DESTROYED by being thrown into full
nnrnnatition with those OF ENGLAND, nor
