Ho does not think er) much of Chalrmuu Carte r of the He ubllcau national committee. He contented Mr. Carter'a apolnlmenl only wbeu It became evident that no inoro accept able man could bo secured. Husald the cnnin!gu ba I been luUmanaged, and that much belter r. lulls would have been secured but for tho "rainbow t liming" scheniis to which Mr Curler gavucountiuance nnd aaalitauct. rh t'resldent Is I arllrulnrly chagrined at the result In till natlvustate, nud believes be-lieves It la largely due to the lack of good goncralsblp.

'Iho l'r.sldent Mid tlml heTbud tcallzpd for aoniu tlmu fast that the drift of rublia sentiment waa against him and his party and it was this that led blm to lorce this n Ivlce upon tbe arty leader. 1 ho disregard of this aduiu bad much to do with tbe result lost TueaJay. I he l'realdent realized I efore any election returns came lu fiesday that liu was n defeated mult. Ho hoped for succoss till tbe lait hour, but J.clttud that ho did not expect It. One of tho reasons fori tho President's Presi-dent's doubt Mto the election waa the well known dlsalluctlou of a number of prominent leaders of his patty, rills la evidenced by his ttatcnieut with regard to Dudley, Quay nnd Cameron. At to Cameron, the l'rusl-deal l'rusl-deal 1-ollevcB ho not only failed to sup port thu ticket, but actual!) did all in Ills power to deli at It. Cameron's In-tlutucc, In-tlutucc, llko (JuayV, extends far beyond be-yond thu toullnes of 1'eiinsyhaula, and thu President evidently reullxiil that both these gentlemen were In u loaltlon to do much Inlury to the ticket In the heretoforu doubt ful alalia of New York and Indiana. As to Colonel Dudley, thu President bald be did not believe Colonel Dudle y did anything to Injuru thu ticket, nnd his Influence had rather been of n ueicntlvo character. Practical!) Prac-tical!) , the Prosldent admitted that Colonel Dudley's lulluoncu 111 Indiana had been uaed, If not to knlfo tbu ticket, lo keep his Irleuds from work-lug work-lug for It. In doting the Interview the President Presi-dent said that while aome mistakes n Igltt have, teen made, It was cjulto evident to nuy man that nothing tould Imva . Ithstood tho populnr uprising of tho people against thu high protcctta ollty to which thu ltepubllcnn party stood plodg. d by the MoICInley law. |
