Democrats RcpOrted.

Democrats Reported.
DETROIT, Mich, oct. IA special TO
the Tribune from Ann Arbor gives an in
terview with the editor of the Ann Arbor
Times, in which paper the reported inter-
view with Hon. Thomas Il. Reed regarding
the present Republican attitude as TO the
tariff legislation first appeared. He said
Mr.. Reeds remarks were in response to
Congressman Wilson'S statements to the eff
feet that if the Democratic party remained
in power 1t would certainly follow up he
present tariff bill with more tariff rev1si0ns
and increasing the number OF articles on
the free list. ''This," said MIR. Reed. sis
all that the Republicans need ask. They
ing of the Mckinley bill on the salute
books As a matter of fact, they cannot
DO It before 1897. even should they succeed
Senate this fall. The issue is plain. IL the
Democrats are successful this fall II means
more tariff tinkering. If the Republicans
are successful it means that the tariff will
be let alone for three years. With a Oem-
ocratic President nothing can be lone by
a Republican Congress, and the people Will
have a chance to rest. These are facts
which the people will readily perceive, and
for this reason / believe that the Tsepub-
licans will sweep the country on that is
sue"
for the Mckinley bill. His conservatism on
this subject was in the way of explaining
the manner in which tariff bills were put
together and he authorized no interview on
the subject.

to-day over the Supreme Courts decision
declaring the fusion ticket the regular

Martin. In discussing the matter tonight,
am concerned. For myself L shall make no
further effort to have our ticket placed on
the official ballot as the regular Democratic
have forwarded our petition to Lincoln this
morning. The petition contains eight hun
lodged the issue. 1t has failed to decide the
real question and has left the matter still
in doubt. 1 see the power of the Secretary
of State to decide between the two candi-
L dates Is not represented by this record and
is not decided. 1t looks to me as II the Re-
4 publican State central committee had q
finger in that decision Conservative esti-
mates give. the ticket about 1S,cOO votes.
