It is hard for tho people to understand how I am situated. My lips are necessarily sealed so far as criticism of this ad ministration goes. It would bo very bad tHte or form to draw a comiiariooti between my own and Mr. Cleveland's administration. It would be highly discourteous, for me to state wherein I believe this administration errs. Therefore, I have uniformly refused to express any opinion to draw any com parison, or to criticize, and shall con tinue that policy." 'Shall you not have something to say about the' new tariff bill?" "That Is a different matter. That measure Is not fathered by the adminis tration, aa I understand It, and is a legitimate matter for discussion, but I am not yet ready. "I dd not wish to speak hastily of a matter that so Intimately concerns the welfare of the party and. country, i.nd goes to the root of our prosperity as a nation. Later. I shall prepare a care ful analysis of the situation ant shall sueak to the people during the Indiana campaigu. I shall speak two or three times, and will let people know my views on the tariff question Some things that I say may bo worth print ing." What do you think of the situation in New York?" think that the situation In New -Tork state demands that every man olftlide of the Btate keep his hands. off. That Is what I think. Let out siders keep their hands oft and attend to their own business. The two wings of the party still maintain separate' opinions, and are as far apart as -ever.
