Ex-sccretAry GOrham's FigHres-He
 Considers Grants Nomination As-
 sured.
 WASHINGTON, April 7.-The Post to-mor- row will publish an interview with George 0. Gorham, ex x-Secretary of the United States Senate. Gorham is one of the most aggressive of the Grant men, and he says the nomination of Grant is as certain as the assembling of the convention. He does not believe thers is any defection in the Penn sylvania delegation, and argues that the way in which the delegates were selected shows that it was intended they should vote unit for Grant. He is sare that Pennsyl- vania will be for the e1 President, and thinks New York as sure for Grant as Pennsylya- nia He laughs at the idea of Blaine's claim for 359 votes. He gives Blaine the following 136 votes: Maine II, New Hamp- shire 10, Rhode Island 5, half of Indiana 15, Michigan p, Iowa 22, Minnesota 10, Kansas 15, Oregon G, Dakota ?, Idaho ?, Arizona 9 New Mexico 2. Montana ?, Washington ?. Wyoming ?, Utah ?, District Of Columbia 1 total 13G He thinks Sherman may get 100 votes, but no more. The contest he contends will be between Grant, Sherman and Blaine, and argues in this way: If Blaine carries all the doubtful States, and if Sher- man carries Ohio and the South, the vote for Blaine would be 217, and that of Sherman 100, making the combined opposition 317 This would leave Grant 437, being majority of 120 over both. If he had half Of the S6 votes of the doubtful States it would give him 4S0 against combined opposition of 274, being majority of 206 over all. In concIu- sion, Gorham thinks that Grants election is manifest destiny, and that he is the only Re publican candidate who can carry New York and some of the Southern States.
