dent Harrison in the fall Of 1890, the
soldiers reunion was being held at the
time and the president was warmly re-
csived BY the people"
In speaking of national politics he
said: 1T is yet too early to be able to
forecast the possibilities of the next
presidential campaign. When the smoke
of this fails election has cleared away
and we know just where we are, the pins
for the next campaign will commence to
show themselves. The indications are
now that the next house will be very
evenly divided.
There are as yet but three men men
toned IN any way AZ all prominently in
connection with the Republican nominal
ton for the presidency. They are ALI

to think as it now stands Allison is the
most likely candidate on account of his

who lives west of the Mississippi river
while Tom Reed lives almost too far east

the reporter.
~As far as being an active candidate,
am satisfied he Will not, but should there
be a showing Of sentiment pointing to-

might be otherwise, although 1 an not
at all authorized to speak for him
he was last in New York, several months
ago.
when we passed through InGianapo-
liz Monday, / inquired for him and
learned that be had just that day left for
another trip to New York, where he is at
this time"
General Tracey said he could not re-
member having met Major Morrill,. al
though he supposed he did meet him
while in congress. He expressed great
interest in the Kansas election, and said
~ was "the general wish throughout the

result-the election or the Republican
