During the ten days since Secre-
tary Chandler visited New England
the Republican party has been un-
usually busy AT least three meet
ings Of the leaders of the party have
been held-one in Manchester, one
in Boston and one in Portsmouth.
The meeting in Manchester was for
the purpose OF endeavoring to decide
who should be chosen to compete
with Senator Rollins for the nomina-
tion for United States Senator. 1t
was composed principally Of those
who favor the candidacy of Congress
man Briggs, but it was not harmoni-
Gus. Ex-senator Patterson, of Credit
Mobilier fame, has gained many
supporters during the last six
months, and it is not known whether
Chandler favors Patterson or Briggs
His decision is anxiously awaited.
The conclaves held in Boston and
Portsmouth were more important.
The business under consideration
was grand scheme, secretly sub
mitted by Secretary Chandler, which
is to be pushed quietly but vigorous
ly. This is to secure the nomination
of William r. Chandler for Vice
President in 1884. Mr.. Chandler and
his friends do not favor the nomina-
ton of Senator Edmunds, of Yer
mont, for President. They expect
that Senator Logan, of Illinois, will
carry off that prize.
Logan and Chandler is their ticket.
It is an explanation of why the willy
Chandler is not candidate for
United States Senator, and his rup-
ture with Senator Rollins is now I'M
derstood. Rollins has been favorable
to the nomination Of Edmunds.
Chandler proposes that all the New
England delegates to the Republican
National convention shall be chosen
from those who will privately favor
his scheme. Some Of the Massa-
chusetts Republicans look coldly
upon the plot, but it is confidently
claimed that Collector Worthington
and the leading postofflce officials
favor it.
1t is also claimed that many Of the
Vermont Office holders are secretly
opposed to the nomination Of Ed
munds and will favor Chambers
scheme. Mr. Chandler has given
the most positive assurance that Mr..
Blaine is not TO be candidate, and
it is more than probable that the
white plumed knight is in secret
alliance with Chandler and his
friends.
One of the best informed political
observes in New England said to
your correspondent: Blaine is out
of the race, but he is determined to
be the most influential factor. in the
next Administration if the Republ-
can party wins. He cannot accom-
p}ish this if Edmunds or any other
Eastern man is elected President.
He will not take the second place
himself, and it is my opinion that he
is working with Chandler"
Mr.. Chandler claims that he has
assurances from many southern Re
publicans that they will favor his
project. His friends here are silent
in regard to Chester A. Arthur. The
sources from which the facts told in
this dispatch were gathered gave no
in formation as to Chandler's rela-
tions with the President.
Ex-Governor Frederick Smythe, of
Manchester. stated Saturday that he
knew positively that the recently
published attempt of Arthur's de-
termination not to be candidate
was written and sent out at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Chandler. Elk
Governor Smythe recently returned
from an extended foreign tour, and
is one of the ambitious crowd that
are now looking to Chandler as their
leader.
