New YORK, Sept 3.-Li Hung Chang
was interviewed and In response TO a
query as to whether, he, who had said
SO many pleasant things about Ameri-
cans, had any unfavorable comments
to make, he replied that he could
not say anything against this
country. He added that he thought
there we're too many political par
ties here. and asked why the news
papers did not bring them together.
When asked to make comparison be-
tween this country and England he
declined, saying that he had nothing
unfavorable 10 say Of either In regard
TO the Geary Chinese exclusion act he
said.
The exclusion act is a most unfair one. and
most foolish. because 1t Is admitted by oil who
have studied political economy that competi-

Republicans Garry the state by the Largest
Majority Ever Given.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt, Sept 2.
The Green mountain state declared
for Josiah Grout (rep), for governor
yesterday and for the republican state
ticket entire by majority that equaled
the prediction Of the most confident re.
publican managers. Returns from the
distant towns are, as usual, rather slow
in coming In, but the count in all sec.
tions Of the state shows substantial re.
publican gains and indicates that the
majority for the republican ticket will
be about 100000 This is the largest ma.
jority ever given for governor in this
state, the nearest approach to 1t being
in 1888, when the majority was 27,6S3
The republican leaders claim the ma
jority may reach $4,000 and even $1,000
Henry Powers, the republican congress
sional candidate in the First district,
and William M. Grout In the Second,
are both reelected by increased ma
jorities, and the state senate and house
are in control Of the republicans by
practically the same majority as two
years ago. Many democrats who do
not indorse the platform Of the Chicago
convention remained away from the
polls, while the more dissatisfied ones
voted for the republican ticket The
Npulist and prohibition vote was prac-
tically the same as four years ago.

Cured after adjournment This was

street, amounted almost to riot, and
Dillon and his friends were compelled
to seek refuge In the hotel.
II cannot be said that the conven-
ton, to the present. has been a sue
cess. The end which it was hoped to
obtain was the uniting Of all the
warning factions in the Irish parlia-

be denied that the delegates are as far
from deciding upon any plan for at
tanning unity as they were when the
calling OF the convention was first de-
