! gals of Kansas, in an interview here yes
t-Tday on the political outlook, expressed
! the opinion that Harrison and Cleveland
would head the respective tickets OF the
two great parties. Continuing, he said:
THE schism in New York is. of course,
unfavorab!e to Cleveland, but be is so un-
mistakably the enthusiastic preference of
niuety-nine out of ever 100 of the voters
OF his party that the politicians cannot
safely disregard the popular will. Hill is
deXterous and eonscienceless conspira-
tor whose proportions have been sinking
rapidly since he left Albany. Nothing
more degrading and at the same time
more ridiculous has ever been wit
messed in this country than the
paltry spectacle of his southern tour for
the avowed purpose of capturing the
presidential nomination. Had he remained
at his post ana kept still he might have
retained his prominence; but he is no
longer potential except for mischief. He
smote Cleveland once under the fifth rio.
and he may do it again. 1t is impossible
now to forecast the result. Much will de-
pend on the action of the Democrats in
the house before adjournment and much
on the nomination at Chicago 1t does
not seem at present as if 1t were anybody's
race. 1t will not be a walkover. Under
some circumstances Massachusetts. New
York, Wisconsin. Michigan, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa and Nebraska may be classed
as doubtful states. The south will be
in the north, will be troublesome; but
things are going our way now, and | am
confident that we shall succeed"
"Will the tariff be the leading issue?"
"Undoubtedlv the tariff and the applica-
tion of the maXlms of protection will con-
tinue to be the principal ISSUE as, indeed,
it has been from the foundation of the
Tho offpptS of ba
dous assault on the Mckinley bill are dis
appearing The people were bewildered
and misled, and they now see that they
were deceived. The Importation of non
dutiable goods has greatly increased.
Prices have steadily declined. Wages
have been generally maintained. Agri-
culture has fiourshed. Money is more
abundant. The rates of Interest are go
ing down and prosperity seems to have
come to stay. The prophecies of disaster
have not been verified, and the loud out
cries of the manufacturers OF England,
France aud Germany indicate that if any
body has been hurt the injury has been
to foreign interests and not our own"
will silver be an issue in the cam
paigng"
1T will be difficult to eliminate the sill
yer question entirely from the canvass,
but it's importance as a factor is rapidly
diminishing, and it may disappear Both
the presidential candidates will probably
be anti-free silver, and as both parties
are hopelessly divided, it can hardly be
presented rs an issue in either the Repub-
lican or Democratic platform. This will
leave it for the third party to use as a bait
for the suckers and gudgeons TO re-en-
force the Democracy. The excitement
for free coinage arose from the demand for
increased circulating medium and has
been stimulated by the mine owners of the
silver producing states in order to raise
the price of the metal. There is no more
reason why the government should buy
silver and issue certificates on ii than
there is why it should buy wheat and issue
certificates on that. IL silver is a money
metal it should be coined like gold, values
being equivalent. If it is a commodity
then the government should let it alone'' /
What do you think of Harrisou's ad-
ministration"
"Harrisons administration has grown
steadily in public estimation, and notably
in the past two years. 1t has been safe,
conservative, diguitied and free from
scandal or reproach, either personal or
official. 1t has met all emergencies
promptly and with vigor. There have
beeu no fireworks nor any pageauts nor
spectacular displays To dazzle the fancy
and rouse the thoughtless to enthuS-
iasm. The appeal has been to the
Judgment rather than to the imag-
ination of the American people It's
policy has been solid and substantial,
without show or glitter. and the business
Interests of the country are satisfied. Ii is
seldom that y man grows intellectually
after he is 30 years old, but the president
has advanced petceptibly since his in
auguration aud has developed unsuspect-
ed mental qualities. The speeches deliv-
cred on his tours through the country
have been n distinct contribution to the
literature of the century. Remarkable for
diversity. elevated tone, appropriate die
