LOYAL TO BLAINE.
TOM REED WILL BE A CANDIDATE.
JOE MANLEY SAYS ALL NEW ENG
LAND Is SOLID FOR HIM.
Reed Will Not Take Second Place.
The Fight Will be on the
Tariff.

this morning publishes an inter-
view had by it's correspondent at
Augusta, Me-, with Joseph Manley,
the we'll known Republican men,
Der of the national committee on
the Presidential nomination in
1896. He is quoted as saying: ain
the next Republican National con-
yention Mr.. Reed will be a candi-
date for the first place on the
ticket. All New England will be
solid for him and the delegates
from Maine will be for him in the
convention first, last and all the
time. In the last convention in
1892 Mr.. Reed could have had the
second place on the ticket as a
gift, but he did not care for it and
neither will he in 1896 accept the
second place"
Mr.. Manley was asked: ais it
not likely that deal may be ar
ranged whereby the ticket will be
Reed and Mckinley, or Mckinley
and Reed"
Mr.. Manley after few moments
reflection replied firmly with an
emphatic "No."
Continuing he said, "There is no
likelihood Of such a deal for the
Republicans of Maine will be as
loyal and as steadfast to Mr.. Reed
as they have been to Blaine in the
past. There is no foundation for
any claim on the part of Gov. Nc
Kinley, that Mr.. Reed was antago-
nistic to his candidacy for the
presidency in 1892. Mr.. Mckinley
himself during the week of the
convention went among the dele
gates and discountenanced the
boom that was being made by his
friends in his behalf.
Certainly nothing Mr.. Reed did
could have injured Gov. Mckinley
in the onventicOn. Reed was
loyal to Blaine"
Touching the presidency and the
availability of candidates Mr..
Manly made cursory survey Of
the field. He said: "There are
likely some candidates for the NOM
nation other than Mr.. Reed or
Gov. Mckinley. My idea for the
Republican candidate is John Sher-
man, for he is undoubtedly the
most accomplished man from his
long experience in the Republican
service. But he is now Y years
old and past the limit. THIS also
applies to Justin Morrill,, OF Yer
mont. Robert Lincoln might be
presented as the favorite son OF
illinois. Gen. Harrison may
again be a candidate for the NOM
nation but the ex-president is
not likely to have the same
strength as in the convention OF
1892"
"Do you think the Populists will
be affected in the new presidential
campaign"
"Well, no, l don't. l don't be-
lieve they will hold the balance
of power in the next electoral COL
lege. There the choice will be as
heretofore between the other two
parties"
"Who are the Democrats likely
| to nominate for the presidency in
| 1862"
"Just now there seems some
| feeling that the party from sheer
necessity will turn to Grover
| Cleveland for a third term. or
course such a move will be an in
novation and would be dangerous
for the party. Yet there are some
people who will say third term
for President Cleveland would be
no violation of the traditions OF
our country, for the reason there
was an interim between his first
and present terms.
But this argument is not likely to
stand for public sentiment would
be decidedly against the PROPOSE
ton, as was the case when General
Grant, in the height of his fame,
sought third nomination in 1880,
after he had been out OF his office
four wears. Gen. Grants expert
ence ought to settle the question Of
a third term presidential candi-
date for all time"
Referring to David B. Hill, as a
possible candidate, Mr.. Manley re-
