".. WASHINGTON, June 10. - Evi-
dences of a Garfield treaehery to
John Sherman are becoming more
apparent from day to day. Garfield
isan ambitious man, and not avoid
of vanity. The applause, which was
bestowed upon him in the Conven-
ton by the anti-Grant delegates was
interpreted by him as an evidence Of
personal popularity. A Western
delegate just returned from Chicago
says tnat the auti-Grant men, obser-
wing the applause which greeted
COnkling every time he entered the
Exposition Building, east about for
some, representative Of the anti
Grant idea upon whom they could
bestow their cheers. CART eld, be-
ing of large stature and passably
we'll known, filled the bill. He was
selected, in lieu of no better person
to receive the applause of the friends
of Blaine, Sherman, Washbure, Ed
munds and Window. When Gar
field left Washington for Chicago, a
member OF the House asked him
who he thought would receive the
nomination. "Oh,. ! have as mnch
of a chance as any of them," was
the reply. The members who are
familiar with his habit of attitudiniz-
ing on the floor of the House were
at no loss to interpret the meaning
OF his manGuyres on the floor of the
Convention. Many of the delegates
have returned from the Convention
to-day. i4.,l ,l,u, sal o.. ...rI4ta -','
The friends OF Blaine and Grant are
each in bad temper, and the few dele
gates who had Sherman's cause really
at heart are Disguised. One of the
Maine delegates to the Convention
said to a Democratic representative
to-day If you nominate a good
ticket at Cincinnati you will sweep the
country" The returning delegates
do not alone feel personal chagrin at
the defeat Of their candidates, but
they openly charge that Garfield and
Foster betrayed Sherman. 1t is well
known fact that Garfield was elected
United States Senator by the Ohio
Legislature in pursuance Of an under
standing whereby Foster was to be
made Governor, and the support Of
the State given to Sherman for the
Presidency. Sherman made Garfield
Senator i'll the sense that he could not
have secured the place had Sherman
opposed him. Sherman's friends here
say that Garfield has played treach-
erous part from the beginning, and his
remark above quoted lends the color
of truth to their assertion.
One Of the delegates to Chicago
from New England tells an interesting
story about the nomination. He says
that as soon as Garfield had received
fifty votes on the thirty-fifth ballot,
Hannibal Hamlin started out to OBJ
tain for Senator Blaine certain votes
which he believed would leave the
Grant forces in the final break up
According to the tale, he had conclud-
ed this negotiation, and was convers-
ing with one his friends ON the sub
ject in a room adjacent to the hall,
when another Blaine delegate rushed
in and announced that Eugene Hale
had cast the vote Of Maine for Gar
field. Of course that terminated the
whole affair. 'l'I
Ali stories to the effect that Blaine
and Sherman had agreed to transfer
their forces to Garfield are untrue
Both were united to beat Grant, but
each secretly hoped to be selected when
the forces Of the Imperialists were
routed. ..H .4.ss-. ~
