Show IfnrriRon and Cleveland In 18U3. Intervii-w with Senator M an-torsoa. "Do you think Mr. Blaine will be a Presidential possibility iu Mi2?" the senator was asked. "A possibility, yes; a probability, no. I think Mr.: Harrison -will run again, and in that event Mr. Blaine, now his chief cabinet adviser, will not oppose him iu the lists. It is a sort of unwritten law that cabinet ministers should not oppose thoir chief in a Presidential Pres-idential contest, and I have no doubt it will not be violated this time. Again, Mr. Blaine has lived a wonderfully successful suc-cessful life and will lie content to round out his career with the secretaryship of state, a position that in this country is ranked next in point of iniportauco to that of president. "A man who lias tasted of Presidential Presiden-tial sweets usually asks, like Oliver Twist, for mure, and for that reason, I think the campaign of lsiij w ill closely resemble that of 1SS8, with Mr. Harrison Harri-son and Mr. Cleveland as opposingcan-diilates." opposingcan-diilates." "But in the south Mr. Hill seems to be the favorite." was suggested. "Yes. lie has considerable popularity in the south, and especially in Georgia, but I think Mr. Cleveland possesses a greater element of strength with the men who attend national conventions the men who do the choosing for the masses." |
