that I am not conscious of any such

their own thinking always differ re-

upon which they abstractly agree: but
so far as the tariff and reciprocity are
concerned. and their expression in a

II have discussed the question with

as unfriendly in political way, and l
am glad to say that there is entire con-

be no further agitation of the subject.
There is no difficulty whatever in doing
so, and confidently predice that there

What cummins Said.

L
| In the Register and Leader Interview
Governor Cummins said:
"You ask me what think Of the pub
lished statement that Senator Allison
has abandoned the policy of recipro-
| city. This is not true. l am willing
to put 1t more strongly know 1t
! is not true. have the best imagin-
able authority for saying that Senator
Allison believes in reciprocity just as
earnestly as he ever did, and that he
believes the party should declare for
| 1t this year just as it has been declar-
ing for 1t for more than ten years.
1T is obvious to Senator Allison, as
tindeed 1t is to all of us, that reciprocity
by treaty is exceedingly difficult to
accomplish, inasmuch as one third of
the senate can prevent the ratification
Of a treaty, and the democrats are all
against reciprocity; but the doctrine
can be carried into effect quite as well
by an act of congress, and this re-
quires only a majority of both houses.
You will find that Senator Allison will
stand firmly and squarely by the opin-
ions he has so often and SO ably ex-
pressed.
You ask me what kind of a plat
form the coming republican state con-
vention will adopt. My answer is that
| do not know. That is a matter to be
determined by the republicans OF the
state, in whose judgment have the
most implicit confidence.
