Mr. REID INTERVIEWER.
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the republican candidate
for Vice President has gone TO Springfield. H.
In an interview az Pi;tsburg last night he said:
The contest will be fought and won in New
York II is naturally republican in presidential
campaigns. In the thirty-six years in which we
have had republican presidential tickets there
have been but three democratic victories and
one Of them. in 1884. was extremely doubtful
The candidate Of that year is now running for
the third time and after having been once de-
feated- / believe that New York has been
republican two-thirds of the time in presiden-
tial contests, and really republican more than
that. IL will be republican this year.
'1t will be no easy contest, however. We do
not undervalue our opposition or underestimate
the difficulty Of our task but we have unity in
our ranks and the organization necessary to
secure success"
WHAT is Mr.. Platt's position? The demo-
crats ere still assiduously spreading the story
that he Is sulking and will do nothing toward
the election Of the republican ticket"
''As 10 that" said Mr.. Reid cit is well known
that Mr.. Piatt was not so well suited with the
nomination. as he might have been, but he is q
republican and is With his party. His varmest
friend. Mr.. Fassett. who represents him at Al
hany, 10 at work for the ticket. and 30 are all
the strongest adhsrents Of both these gentle
men
The fact n" continued the candidate for
Vice President, ''the people who are spreading
these stories soout disaffection in the republi-
can ranks are chiefly anxious to withdraw at
tsntion from the extraordinary and notorious
condition Of affairs in their ranks"
