THE PRESIDENCY.

Views of Senator McPherson—Ro Considers the President Certain of Re-election. IWashington special.] Senator McPherson is in the city, anl says he is very much dissatisfied with tne operations of the Pacific Kail way Investigating Commission. He does not think the men encaged in the work are fit for it, and that their investigations so far are childish and unimportant. The commission, he says, is simply skimming the surface for information tuat is new to everybody but themselves, and he feared that after they have finished and made their report the entire work would have to be done over again by Congress. When asked if Cleveland would get the support of New Jersey for renomination, he replied: » “Certainly. He will get the delegation from New Jersey aud from every other State, I think. Mr. Cleveland will have no opposition in the convention. He will be nominated; he is already nominated. I know of no man who will put himself up in convention against him. I know of no man in either party who could stand against him with the people. Ho will get the delegation from New York and New Jersey and every other State in the convention. Mr. Cleveland is gaining strength. His popularity is growing all the while. He has an immense following. He is drawing from all parties, and the great mass of the people will go with him. The best possible thing tor the Democratic party to do is to renominate him; the best possible thing for the people of the United States to do is to elect him. There is no other man who occupies the position he does. The party will renominate him and the people will re-elect him. If the labor party put in an independent ticket in the field it will probably be as it was with Mr. Hewitt in the election of Mayor. Men regardless of party will turn in and vote for Cleveland and elect him. There is no man in public life to-day who is as popular throughout the country. As I said before, the best thing the party can do is to renominate him, and the best thing for the country is for the people to elect him.”
