MR. ROBINSON'S STRENGTH, Q Whatdo you consider his strength tn the Con- vention, A. I believe he would undoubtedly have received the nomination at Saratoga if it bad not deen for the Seymour excitement, Which carried all before i, His support constantly ‘tncreased from the first mention of his name, The longer tt was canvassed the moro the delegates wero convinced that he was the man to jead the party to vietory. The movement in his favor has gained in strength since the adjournment. Q Whatdo you think of the idea that the candi- present at the Saratoga Convention should ail be out? A. 1 think it most absura and unjust. If restrictions are imposed they should be that no Hames stiould be considered except those three men- tioned. TH® CHANGE OF BEING A LINFKAL, Q.

In his hands the people can safely 76, trust the larger interests of the State gov- ernment, This. I consider an important elo- ment of strength in a canvasn where recognized personal integrity and business capacity are aliko needed to satisfy the people that no step backward will | be taken in sectiring reform and reducing taxation. In the present crisis tried and true men only should be considered available. Q What was Mr. Robinson’s connbction with the Erie Railway? A. There you have one of the strongest points in his favor, Me was placed in charge of tne aflairs of the company alter 1t became embarrassed, and tried integrity and skilful financial management was nooded to protoct its interests, His first step was to provide means to pay the 8,000 employés ot the road, any of whom were months behind on their wages and suflering in consequence.
