VIEWS OF Bx-coSGRFssMEN GUNCKEL AND JOB
s,FyENsoN-A MAJORITY OF THE DELEGATION
UNDOUBTEDLY TO BE FOR SHERMAN.
T.. B. Gunckel of Dayton. who lately repre-
sented the Hid Ohio District III Congress, SAID
Thursday, in a conversation on the Presidehtiai
ouestion with TRIBUNE representative, that most
of the Pepublicans of his State were supporting
John Sherman.
s.There is however" he continued, "a consluer-
able Blaine element and pretty large Grant eie-
ment. As the delegation to Chicago will be CHOSEN
bv the Congressional Districts in their local con-
ventions, all shades of local opinion VIII
have a chance of expression. A majority
of thedelegates will no doubt be for Sherman, but
both Blaine and Grant will probably have some
sup,orters. There will, however, be strong effort
made nv the friends of Mr.. Sherman to secure a
soid vote tor him on the first ballot at least ms
mnch will be due to him as the only ONO candi-
date"

be much better if he came from any other State we

taking another President from 0hio."

All their newspapers, | understand, have come out
