CIRCINNATY, 0., June 11.—To-morrow's Ga- zette will contaln an futerview with Mr. John &, Harrison, Director of the Union Pactfic Railroad, relative to statements by Mr. Millard, and con- tained in dispatches from Omaha. Millard’s statement was to the effect that Harrlson's mo- tlon fu regard to that 64,000 bond transaction was against Mr. Blalne, and that it the latter should ever be a candidete in opposition to Morton he (Harrison) would publish the fucts and kill lim. On this subject MR, HARRISON REMARKS: 1brought this matter up before the Committee in Soptember, 1872, and subsequontly, as you will scc by my letter to the Hon. Jeremlah Wilson, Chairman of the Credit Mobiller Investigation Comunittee, dated Feb, 3, 1873, requested that Mr. Rollins be examined in regard to that transactlon, ‘When I first moved in the matter, Gen. Grant was cundiaate for re-clection, snd st tho date of my letter to Wilson had nut been fuaugurated. 1t [s not lkely that it could have Liad sny reference to the candldates for the Presidency. ~ That would be MATIHER EARLY TO KILL ASPIRANTS or to build them up. 1had in my mind only the fnterest of the Government and niy own respinn: bility as Governinent Directorof the Rallroad Co: pany. ©saldat once thiere must have been rome- thing wrong.

Morton for monthe, and had not com- municated with him on the aubject. Inreply to a question whether the Rallroad Company budtaken any ACTION RECENTLY in regard to tho $64,000 bond transaction, Mr, Harr{son suld: At a mecting of the Directora In the City of Dos. ton, Juno i, 1473, on my motion, the Tollowing order was unanimously ndopted, Mr. Dillon wns fur the chulr, and Mr. RRollina was hresent as Sece retary: “(\'HEHEM'.

NOMINATION AND ELECTION, Cincinnatt Qnsette, The candldate nominated by the Cineinnati Convention will, of course, ho supported by the Republican local organizations and by the Re- publican journals. These have no other prac- tieal alternative. But will this be sufllefent to Ingure suceess in the election? Onthecontrary, have we nat had enough of political disnsters in the last two years to remind us that the party organization sits looscly on a very conelderable portion of the Republicans? The present House ol Representatives—a mere obstruction to gov- ernment—is sufliclent testimony to that. Is it not evident to every man that, hesides the regue larity of nomination, the Republican party tnust have a eandidate whoso character wiil arouse the popular enthusiasm a8 a mere party nomination cannot dol? Ie must be wofully blind who does not sce that there s a popular demand for somcthing more than party regularity; that there is n pow- erful sentinment which calls for a candidate who shall, in his own person, give nssurance of a higher character and tone in the Adminfstration, and which represents a class large cnough tode- cide the etection, who cannot be driven by the party whip, nor {nspirited to political zeal by a mcre ** cholco of cvils,”” . In the very presence of such disnsters as the Republiean party has suflered, {n the teeth of all the power of party crganization and of admin- istrative (nfluence, and (n the full realization of the fact that o higher power than these will be requisite to earry the puf»ulnr vole, It is wonder ful'to sce ucontest going on which assuince that nothing more than a regulur nomination, ceven by u little more than hulf the Conventlon, will bo needed to make that election sure, and thut the people will vote for the nowmtnee by the mere foree of habit, Not only this, but we seo o dlspoeltion in the supporters of candidates to crack the party whip beforehand, and the algns of feeling that it thiey can get the whip into thelr hands by o bate majority of the Conventlon that weapon will be sufticlent. & Do these partisangknow where the Republican party standsi Do they know that it must carry nearly every Northern State In order to clectl Are they conscious that during the last two years aeveral of the largest of them have been varrled by the Democratsi That Ollo, two vears ogo last fall, was earrled by Allen? That Tast fall, although there was an unprecedented TRepublican vote,—as large 8 we can expeet next fall,—she trembled In the balance, and that o change of Jess than 1 per cent of the vote would have reversed the result? That the “favorite son " who wields the patronnge which vontrols the party machinery, which has presented bim 88 New York's eandidate, cannot give uny assur- ance to the rattonul mind that he could carry that Statel Can they be unconsclousof the fact that there are geyeral other Northern States which cannot he carrled by the Republieans without somes thing tnore faspiritiug than mere regularity of { 3 nomination? Yet the contest s carried on by the friends of candidates #s i the Republican {mfl.y were compact, and with afl the prestige of ifteen years of triumph, and the people desired nothing more than a regular nomination which would guarantee & continuance of the same ad- ministrative conditions. Burely these energetic partisuns are reckoning without their host. In this besotted notlon that a regular nom- {natlon and party organization will do the busl- ness, we hoar from these contending factions expressions of contempt for “sentimental_poll- tles.,” The popular aspirations for reform, cconomg, eapable elvil-service, bigher character i the Administeation, and & moral tonc in our politics, which shall 1ift Repreaentntives and Binutit'above-jobbery, aud the Prosident his Cabinet above pedeling out oflices, nre stije- matized os *sentimental polities,” and thero- upon it Is nssumed that politicsmust have noth- iug to do with sentiment, - Since when has this been a Republican fdenl What but a sentiment—the sentiment of hustil- ity to slavery—brouglit the Republican party in- to exlstence and carried it into the Guyernuent?
