BIalne's Friends Charge that He Was
Sold Out.

Dissatisfaction of the New York Re-
publlcans.
HARRIsBvRG, Pa, February 6.-Hon
Galusha A. Grow, q prominent candidate
for Governor when the present Chic
Magistrate was selected, and now looking
forward to seat in the United States
Senate, thinks that the late convention
has demonstrated that Grant will not be
nominated at Chicago. The feeling in
favor Of the distinguished soldier must be
spontaneous to result in success. With a
determined fight between him and other
Presidential aspirants, which seems in
evitable II he remains in the field, he
could not be nominated. He was sure
that the true sentiment Of the conven-
ton was overwhelmingly against Grant.
Scarcely dozen delegates in their hearts
believed that the ex-President would be
an available candidate. The majority Of
the delegates to Chicago, in my opinion,
was against the General, because they do
not believe he is the strongest standard
bearer the Republicans could select. 1t
was essential TO certain success in the next
Presidential fight that candidate bechosen
who can hold the full Republican vote,
which Grant could not, because he had al
ready had two terms. The German Re-
public2ns, who comprise large portion
Of our voting population, would not sup.
port him because they believed third
term would be the stepping stone to an
empire. Neither could tho native Re-
publican vote be kept in line for Grant,
and to nominate him in the face OF this
great disafeCtion would be as unwise as
would the forcing Of Tilden on the Demo-
Gratis.
WAS BLAISE SOLD ouT2
WASHINGTON, February s. Blaine's
friends claim that they were "sold out"
at Harrisburg or they would have pre-
vented an Endorsement Of Grant, and Con-
gresham Bingham, Of Philadelphia, is
charged with having done it. Bingham
represented himself as being the spokes-
man Of Senator Blaine, and as having en-
ioyed considerable intimacy with Blaine,
and, having been outspoken in his favor,
the delegates accepted, as is alleged, his
leadership. Bingham told everybody
that Blaine did not want fight, that he
was Cameron's second choice; that Grant
would be Withdrawn, and Blaine would
get the Pennsylvania delegation il they
did not make Cameron mad by opposing
him. This was SAID by him in private
conversation, in caucus, and in open Con-
vention, whereas Mr.. Blaine says that
Bingham not only had no authority to
speak for him in that manner, but mis-
represented him. Blaine says he was for
fight; that he believes his friends could
have carried the Convention had they
shown the backbone, and he would like
nothing better than 10 beat Cameron on
his own ground.
Congressman Frye says there were nine
delegates who voted for Grant who would
have voted against him mad they not sup
posed it would make no difference TO Blaine
and would oblige Cameron.
There Is a great deal Of similar talk on
the Blaine side, which shows they are
getting all possible comfort out OF their de-
ieat., Mr.. Blaine says very frankly that
he would like the Pennsylvania delegation,
and believes he would have them Ii the
popular feeling in the State was given its
will. On the other hand, the Grant men
say that Blaine never could have carried
the convention, and Bingham did the
wisest thing that could be done by estab-
fishing and maintaining cordial relations
between the two factions.
DISSATISFACTION IN NEW YORK.
ALBANY, N. Y, February 5.-The result
Of the Pennsylvania Convention is COM
mented on by Republicans here with some
degree OF caution. Outspoken Grant men
approve OF it, and are in favor OF the New
York Convention following the example.
They soy that the action ot the Harrisburg
Convention shows that Pennsylvania Is
for Grant, and that he will, II nominated,
carry that State with ease. More conserva-
tive Republicans are reluctant to criticise
the result OF the Convention. Blaine men
predict trouble in the New York Conven-
ton il the attempt is persisted in to in
struct the delegation for Grant. A prom
inent member OF the Assembly said this
afternoon that the State Convention has no
right 10 instruct delegation made up by
districts and that II the Pennsylvania dele
gates were selected by districts, as reported
by telegraph this morning, 1t was unwar-
rantable arrogance on the part OF the Con-
yention 10 impose restrictions upon the
free action OF the delegates at Chicago. A
Republican Senator said that If he had
been member OF the Pennsylvania Con-
vention he would have fought to the last
against the attempt TO force a vote on the
question Of instructing the delegation.
"If," said he, delegates from my dis
trict to the State Convention shouldselect
me as their delegate TO the National Con-
vention, would like to see any Conven-
ton or any body OF men undertake 10 tell
me what 10 do" He declared his inten-
ton to go to Utica as a delegate, or TO
have some one there from his district who
would fight the Pennsylvania precedent to
the bitter end. lie said he might be for
Grant, or he might be for Blaine, but in
any case he did not intend 10 be clay in
the hands OF any set OF political potters.
The action OF the Pennsylvania Conven-
ton has evidently set the Republicans
thinking. It has warned anti.Grant men
that they have business on hand, il they
are to make an effectual stand against the
evident purpose Of the third.termers.
It Is believed that the canvass in this
State will at once become animated.
