Joaun0 says. Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson
is sure eno.' III candidate for the Presi-
dency on broadly American platform.
Hon. Daniel J. Campau, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman from Michigan and
Mr. Dickinson's friend and adviser, was
ut the Hoffman House yesterday, aud he
talked with Journal reporter about the
political and business situation. Mr..
Campau comes from Detroit, and sue
ceeded Mr.. Dickinson on the National
Committee.
The reporter said that it was supposed
that Michigan would present the name
of Don NJ. Dickinson to the National
Convention as the choice Of its delegation.
~ do not care at this time to enter into
any discussion of MIR. Dickinson's candi-
dacy," said Mr.. Campau. II presume
that Mr. Dickinson will be q candidate,
and that Michigan will support him. 1t
is entirely too early yet 10 talk about pos
sible nominees"
"W hat about Mr.. Cleveland and third
term?"
IL do not believe that Mr.. Cleveland is
candidate. But with respect to the
third term agitation, l will say this, that
the people OF this country are unalter-
ably opposed to a third term tor any
man.
"Jt Mr.. Cleveland were to be renom-
mated he could not carry one Western
State, and as for the Eastern States, the
sentiment is just as strongly against
third term as it Is in the West Mr.. Cleve-
land would be the worst whipped man
that ever ran.
Yes | see that the Republicans are 60
ing to have an eatly convention. l have
heard nothing In regard to an early DEM
ocratic convention, or OF any call for a
December meeting OF the Democratic
National Committee. In my opinion july
Is early enough Tor holding the conven-
ton, thus assuring short campaign,
which l believe the business men OF the
country would favor.
'As to issues" said the committeeman,
"the tariff, by the passage OF the Wilson
bill, ceased 10 be an issue. The fight will
be made on broad Democratic lines. Sill
yer will De ignored. Party manipula-
ton will set it aside. The people of
Michigan are biluetallists. The next con-
venticn will not reflect the sentiment of
the people; it will be Federal office
holders' convention. | believe the gen.
eral sentiment is in favor OF d double
standard, but do not believe that the
United States should take any steps in
the direction OF the adoption Of such a
SYSTEM lfTeSDccslf6 Vi LILO SeutlllSut Oh
other countries.
Tho general political situation tends
toward harmony, out is still not every
thing that could be desired. | am pleased
to see that among party leaders there is
u feeling that the time has come when
geographical lines should be oblterated
and nominations made wholly regarding
the personal fitness of the candidates. Ii
we can find the proper man in the South
|
see no reason why we canDot-then let
him receive the nomination.
''As to the business interests of the
country, restored confidence has put
them upon sound basis of operation.
There will be no set back TO the return
of good times. One indication which
have not seen noted is the activity in the
real estate market. Real estate is usually
the last interest to feel the effects of re-
stored confidence and the large mum Der
OF realty transactions indicate the end OF
the depression of lo93-94."
