sponse was not direct II might have BEEN but In
substance II was that Conkng has no friends TOR the

nomination Mr.. Beckicy then Indicated that after
Hartrann he would first prefer Blaine and then Brs-

would prefer Hayes

the recent Constitutional Convention OF Pennsylvania

the party implies jealousy rather than graft
tude and there are always more men anxious 10 pull

"therc Is a movement among the politicians for Conk.

Thus ended my interview with man who is Of
the friends Bristow has in tho delegation and
delegate who would probably prefer Morton Blaine.
Mr. DANIEL p MILLER, OF Pine Grove, may be counted
open for Blaine unless there strong pressure on
the part OF the leaders for Conkling, and then It Is
likely he will prove amenable.

fore the recent state Convention he TOOK such bold
ground that feared by OF the delegates that
