Ho sAys Further that Mr. Cleveland Has
No Thought of Again Running for the
Presidency-Mckinlcy Dead.

LONDON. Sept 1i.-I1 an interview to-
day with Mr.. w. l.. Wilson. the dis
tinguished congressman from Vest Viz
ginia. whose tariff measure has attracted
40 much attention in Europe, Mr.. Wilson
said that his trip across the Atlantic had
greatly improved his health. Unless his
programme Is changed, Mr.. Wilson Will
sail for home on september 18th.
THE lIrcIIo, ~ MAIsr.
Referring to the recent election in the
State OF Maine, the gentleman irom West
Nirg1nia said that he did not consider
the Republican victory as pronounced
criticism OF the tarin legislation Of con-
gress. According to Mr.. Wilson, some
OF the Democrats OF Maine are temDO-
rarily angercd at certain tariff reduc-
tons. ana especially at the reduction Of
the duty on lumber. But he added.
Names situation prevents that state
from being an index Of the political cur
rents OF the United States.
cLEyrLAND WILL Nor RUN AGAIN.
Mr.. Wilson decidedly stated that Presi-
dent Cleveland had no thoughts of again
being candidate for the presidency.
Messrs. Reed and Mckinley were. I'm his
opinion, candidates for the Republican
nomination, but he thought the Republi-
can party would probably select "A tariff
states. Mr. Wilson also said. would never
revert to "McKinleyism' or 20 "a blind
greedy, selfish protection The tariff Will
not be attacked, and when Congress meets
its errors. which are in detail only Will
be corrected.
