The Chicago Inter-Ocean prints the fol
lowing interview with a former well
known citizen of this county :
While surveying some of the decora
tions in the neighborhood of Prairie ave
nue and Sixteenth street yesterday morn
ing a reporter stopped before the house
of Jessie Spalding which was most taste
hilly draped in emblems of mounrniugand
was particularly noticeable as standing
out Irom the midst of a number of ele
gant residences which were quite bare of
such drapery. Espying Mr Spalding, the
reporter entered into conversation with
him, the result being that the newspaper
man was iuvited into the house, where
he struck quite an interesting mine of
information relative to lhe deceased Pres
ident.
Mr. Spalding is well known as a prom
inent, energetic and hard working Re
publican, always consulted as a safe
counselor, and appealed to in times of
party emergency. It was Mr. Spalding
who came forward in the last campaign,
when things looked exceedingly dubious
in Indiana, and aroused such an interest
among the business men of Chicago that
they gave generous aid to the Republican
cause and started the campaign afresh in
that State. Mr. Spaldiug went there
personally as a member of the Western
committee and the impetus given by the
work begun here was followed up by the
National Committee, and victory was the
result-
Mr. Spalding was the intimate friend
of Senator Zacli Chandler, and as is well
known was with him on that last sad
night preceding the Senator's death at
the Grand Pacific Hotel.
As the reporter entered the parlor he
was reminded of this incident by seeing
at the further end a life-size bust of the
great Michigan Senator, executed by-
Leonard Yolk of this city. The bust
rests upou a stand of ebony and is an ex
cellent work of art. It stands against a
maroon-colored back-ground and by its
side rests the gold-headed cane carried
by Senator Chandler in his life time and
which was presented to Mr. Spalding af
ter the Senator's death by Mrs. Chan
dler.
After a few minutes talk about the de
ceased the conversation turned upon the
present bereavement.
"Were you personally acquainted with
General Garfield?" asked the reporter.
"Oh yes," said Mr. Spakllng. "Our
acquaintance was of several years stand
ing."
"When did you last see him."
"At his home in Ohio last January."
"Were there any incidents of the in
terview which you care to make public?"
"Well, my visit was of a friendly char
acter and was very pleasant. During the
interview reference was made to a little
incident which occurred in this city dur
ing the National Convention and which I
have thought of a thousand times since
the sorrowful occurrence at Washington.
Two clays before General Garfield's nom
ination, I invited him, Senator Sawyer of
Wisconsin and R. M. Pomeroy, Presi
dent of the Atchiusou branch of the Un
ion Pacific Railway, to dine with me at
the club. It was a pleasant gathering
and during it I repeated an invitation
which I had given on the occasion of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the organiza
tion of the Republican party which took
place at Madison, Wis., and at which
Geu. Garfield and Senator Chandler were
present, to go fishing and hunting with
me on the Menominee River and vicinity.
After we had finished dinner and sat back
I said jokingly, "Gentlemen it is not at
all uncertain that we have beeu dining
with the next President of the United
States."
General Garfield smiled and placing his
■ hand upon my shoulder said: "I would a
great deal rather take that fishing trip
with you, Spalding than to make the
campaign for President."
After we seperated Gen. Garfield men
tioned the circumstances to Mr. Poine
roy, as I was afterwards told, and said
he came to Chicago to nominate Sherman.
"Well," said Mr. Pomeroy, "that's all
right; you nominate him as well as you
can, but you must accept the verdict of
the convention even if that verdict should
make you the nominee." As I said, I
have thought of his remark at that din
ner many times since, as it seemed to in
dicate a dread of making the race which
he was finally called upon to undertake.
But he made it; and there never was u
campaign in which I took more interest
and worked, in my way, harder to make
successful."
"Are you acquainted with President
Arthur, Mr. Spalding?"
"Yes. I have known him in a general
way for many years and for the last few
I years quite intimately." d.T.a
"What is your opinion of him and his
competency for the place he now takes?"
"Arthur is a thoughtful, modest con
servative man, of excellent judgment,
unquestionable integrity, and possessing
great executive ability, lie has been at
the head of as able a law firm as is to be
found in the city of New York, and is
certainly looked upon by the business
community of that city as a safe, reliable
and competent man, and one abundantly
able to fill the station to which he has
been called by the mournful tragedy at
Washington. I tliilik he will grow upon
the people and make a successful execu
tive."
Mr. Spalding goes to Cleveland to
night to attend the funeral of the late
President, being one of those selected by
Governor Cullom to represent the State
of Illinois on that sad occasion."
