THE VIEWS OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
President Harrison in an interview says that President Cleveland's ordering Federal troops into a state without the request of the governor was without a parallel in the history of the United States government.
He said, however, that he did not question his right to do so. This is as much as to say: President Cleveland has done this terrible thing that he ought not to have done, but he had the right to do it probably, perhaps. The views of this private citizen are in a rather nebulous state.
