Luke p. Poland The Judge had but
few days ago returned from Washington.
The Vermont state press have guessed all
abound the Judge las to his first, second and
third choice. The following interview |
he'd with the judge on the subject of the
presidential nomination. suggested this
to him, and in reply he said eyes, l
understand | have been set down as a firm
supporter of Mr.. Bristow but have not
talked with any of my colleagues from our
state to Cincinnati. have given most
serious consideration to what course may
pursue when we get together in the conven-
lion. One thing l must soy. 1t is this
We cannot afford to put presidential
ticket in the field to lose. We must have
good ticket. We must carry the state of
New York. Mr.. Conkling Is no doubt very
popular in New York state !, so is William
A. Wheeler. Now, suppose we, as repub-
licaHe, should nominate Mr.. Blaine for
president. what would seem to be the ma
tura result so far a. New York state 10
considered doubtful for republican ma
jorlty. Blaine and Conkllng are not friend
~. There has been for years bitter, an
tagonistic feeling between them. Mr..
Conkling would naturally use his influence
against MIR. Blaine. suppose we should
nominate Mr.. Conkling, the argument
would naturally work the other way
against Mr.. Conkling Then, again, | do
not think New England will be able to Sc
cure the presidential nominee. only wish
it could. There is no man | could more
heartily support than Mr.. Blaine. Why,
MIR. Blaine snd |, when i was IN congress,
were and still are the best Of friends. Mr..
Blaine, when speaker of the house OF
al, haf 81 7.
fact, he seemed to think me the man to
| push things. He gave me the Craftsmanship
| of the ku klux committee, the credit mo-
be,ier committee and the Arkansas com
| mittec. 1t did seem to me that whenever
there was "a life and death fight was
given the leadership of it. But we want a
| ticket to win. We want harmony of ac-
ton. We must sct wisely and select the
| best man."
| "Who Is your first choice?"
| 81 have my own personal opinion in the
matter of first choice, and | do not care to
| state now, but to be frank about the mat
| ter, we can tell better when we get to Gin
ciunati and look the field over thoroughly.
Then, Judge, you do not think it wise
to easy your frat ballot for Mr.. Blaine ~
i told YOU how Blaine and Conklins
stood, and that do not think New Eng.
and would procure the nomination you
can draw your own differences. William
A. Wheeler of New York, is, think. the
strongest republican in New York to-day
and we want New York state"
Mr.. Mason \. Colburn of Manchester
has not given the matter of his first, sec
ond or even third choice any consideration
Mr.. Colburn will be guided entirely by
what he may think judicious when the
convention assemblies. He thinks Hon
William A. Wheeler more popular ant
acceptable man to New York republicans
han Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Wheeler. il
Mr. Coburn's opinion can carry New
York if put either first or second upon tn,
presidential ticket. Mr.. Colburn says, al
Judge Poland does, that he does not thnl
New England can obtain the nominee fol
president.
Mr.. George Howe of Bratteboro, one o.
the most popular representative gentlemen
of Vermont and one of the four delegates
at large, says his first preference is Bris
tow his second choice Blaine. He goe,
to the convention to do his duty, so far al
his vote is concerned, for the good ant
'uture prosperity of the republican party
lie will not be party to any "bolters'
movement, and will do whatever may seen
best to do when he gets into the conven
ton. He will be discreet and act for til,
best interests of his republican constituent
and the party.
Mr.. Warren C. French of Woodstock
'ays bis first choice is Blaine; his secon,
l5ristow. AS for the second place on tn
icket he shall be governed by crcumstau
res at the convention. lie wants ticke
full of success, and considers it the duty o
very delegate to consider well that the re
publican party cannot at this critical mo
ment afford defeat
