SENATOR MAXDEKSON'S I'KOPOKCT, Us Thinks that llarrisaa and Clovelaai! nil ba tba Candidal. New Yoitic, Aug. 10. Senator Charle s F. Manderson of Nebiaska president pro tern of the United States senate, and chairman of its committee on printing, print-ing, who has been attending the sessions ses-sions of tho committee on ruins at the) Fifth Avenue hotel, was asked by a reporter re-porter who, in his opinion, would be the presidential candidates for 180'. llo replied: "I have not the spirit of prophecy, but the signs of the times point to tha old tickets, and I believe that Harrison and Cleveland will compete for thi great pri.o. If Senator-Governor, or Governor Hill should run for governor of New York this fall and bo elected ba might prevent tbo nomination of Cleveland, Cleve-land, but it, would be a sort of Kilkenny cat light, iu whioh both would be destroyed. de-stroyed. Cleveland is the idol of that average democrat. Like li e heathen and Ids god, tbo democrat knows that Grover is ugly, but he feels that ho is graat. Ho may be out of line with tha majority of tho party and may condemn tho pet doctriues of its leaders In and out of congress, but he remains a let i.n h s'l the same. I think that ho will be called, but he will not be chosen. President Harrison will bo his own successor. He has given tho country a splendid administration, adminis-tration, aud the opposition will be at Lheir w its end to pick llawi in it when, tho great conflict of ltJ'J'i comes on. In. all tho executive departments under his administration there has been earnest ear-nest endeavor and brilliant achievement. achieve-ment. Whin the people come to measure meas-ure it in the fall of uaxt rear they will had that Uncle Sain has Lad the worth of his money, and will be hardly willing wil-ling to stop the development of the country by the adoption of democralio ideas as to internal and foreign policy." "Do you expect any new issues in IcO.'V" "No. It will be fought on the old lints, with the tarsi tl au the main question, ques-tion, incidentally, reciprocity wit other American nation i as theorized in tho McKinley bill and as practically worked out by tho present administration, administra-tion, extension of foreign commerce, aid to our ocean-carrying trade and the currency will bo discussed. The republican re-publican party is pledged to a substantial substan-tial increase of our circulating medium on a sound basis, aud every ouuee of American silver uot used iu the ar;s should be freely coined; but thera must bo no currency based on paper, printers' ink and wind. All that is needed for republican local success this year is the nomination of the best man in the party. Wa must nominate men who are standards iu their communities for honesty of purpose and strength iu execution; men who are sound in opinion and great in intellectual power, l'arty ties are not so strong w hen mere economic questions ques-tions are the ones on which political organizations divide, and there is not the clamor and glamour of a national campaign, so tho averao voter will cast his ballot for tha best man. If other states will follow in the lead of Ohio and Iowa and nominate such men, as McKinley and Wheeler, no democrat demo-crat and no third party man, by whatever what-ever namo he may be calicd, can ba elected. In other words, as tho past atliiiat'.urs of tho great mass of Western West-ern votes have been republican, and as republican doctrines continue to bo as they have been for thirty years the best for this country to live by, doctrines doc-trines which cau stand the test of lire, side in discussion, newspaper criticism and stump debate the great majority of ballots will be cast for tho republican ticket, if our bust men are put upon it." Senator Manderson is confident that the farmers' alliauce, as a political party, will have litt'o strength or in-lluennn in-lluennn iu 1)',, and that most of its members in the west, north and east will vote for tho republican candidate. |
