SENATOR BLA1NEs friends here are very
indignant at that publication in the New
York Herald yesterday, in which he was
credited with saying that he did not care
for the empty honor of the Chicago nomina-
tiop, as no Republican could be elected this
year. They say that tho thing shows
that the tactics in tho warfare against
Blaine, which were used eight years ago,
are to be renewed this time. Eight years
ago, during the Cincinnati Convention, all
manner Of stories were telegraphed from
here to that city about Blaine There was
but little foundation for any of them. Bat
the Heralds publication of yes
terday can hardly be said to
be Of the character claimed for IL by Mr..
Blaine's friends. If it had been pub
licity would have been had about mex. Sun
day, and not yesterday, which afforded Mr..
Blaine an opportunity to get in a very eff
fective denial in very good time. The fact
Of the matter seems to be that the Herald
correspondent had simply assimilated a
