His Views ON the Democratic "New De-


parture"-Mr. Chase Supports 1.-THE


Republican Party Cannot Restore Aniity.


CINCINNATI, June 22.-Mr Chase is greatly
changed in appearance His figure is still tall
erect, and commanding, bat he has grown so
thin that his clothes seem to hang loosely upon
him. They look as if they had been made for
another man. His large, expressive eyes are
sunken in his head, and, with his heavy, shaggy
eyebrows, he reminds you of Daniel Webster
in his ripper years. There is a visible nervous
ness of manner about the Chief Justice which
makes you feel anything but comfortable in his
presence, and yet when he talks he seems quite
at ease.


'"Then you think some of the Republicans will
join the new departure movement?"


"Well, yes think they will. 1t looks to me like
the nucleus OF new party. There are great many
people who are dissatisfied with both parties They
are anxious for different order OF things. The
war is over and the people want peace Tne Re-
publican party, or at least some OF Its leaders,
bent upon peTpetuating the eI memories Of the war
sectionalism which engendered 1t. This s destruc-
tive of the best interests Of both sections Some of
the Democrats On the other hand, refuse to accept
the results Of the war; but don't believe their num-


at seems Jef Davis, Aleck Stephens, Bob Teombs,
and few men OF that class in the So1th, are unwil
ling to accept the situation"


At first the Chief Justice made no reply to this
statement but after awhile he said:-


"Davs has been acting very foolishly OF late in
making speeches. 1 rather think he has been mis-
represented to some extent by the reporters but he
would have done better to have pursued the course
he did at first and have refused to make speeches.
Davis, Stephens, and Toombs represent but a small
class of the Southern people. l believe the masses
Of them accept the results OF the war in good faith
You see some OF the most influential Of the Southern
newspapers repudate the utterances Of these men,"


"What effect will the new departure movement
have upon the election Of President in 1927"


81 should think It would have very great infu-
ence upon that election. great deal, of course,
depends upon the candidates and the platforms. II
the Democrats nominate good man, who will CON-
mand the popular confidence, and place him upon
the new departure platform, he will think, stand
good chance OF being elected. There is great
deal OF dissatisfaction with the Republican party.
Many people who are anxious for peace believe that
we cannot have peace between the North and the
South while the Republican party remain In power.
Before the harmony between the two sections is re-
Now, while there are number OF prominent men
in the Republican party-men like Greeley and
Butler-who favor general amnesty, the mass OF the
leaders Of the party are against il. You remember
last winter how Congress refused TO pass an am-


"The Republicans seem to be concentrating upon
Grant as their candidate; what will the Democrats
do?"


whose names have been mentioned, any one Of
whom would make an able President. suppose
the Republicans will renominate Grant, They don't
seem TO have any great number OF available candi-
! ssThey think Grant is their strongest man."


SWELL so he is, / suppose; and yet understand
there is considerable opposition among some OF the
Republicans to his denomination"


''The Republicans lay great deal Of stress upon
the fact that he has collected the revenue, paid or
the debt, and settled the Alabama question:"


1.-THE Secretary Of the Treasury, think, deserves
quite as much credit for collecting che revenue and
paving of the debt the President. Governor Bout
well has been very fortunate in his management OF
the Treasury Bat after all 1t is the people who pay
other n s man in the White House as General Grant.
To be hs friends give him the credit OF It, but
the people deserve the praise"


Campaign in this State and expressed the highest
opinion OF both the candidates.-N. Y Herald Cor.
