Ereri,ag Report.
COUNTING NOSES
In an interview with an associated press re-
porter, Horace White of the New York EUening
Post, said SIT seems to me that Blaine and
Arthur are about evenly matched at 300 to 800
votes each, that Edmunds will have about 100,
Logan about so, Sherman 40 and Hawley 12. The
following of other candidates is somewhat uncer-
TAIN
Senator Malone, of Virginia, has prepared
table of estimates as to the standing of the con-
Ventlon at tbe outset. He says he is sure Ar
thur will have 325 votes on the first ballot, that
Blaine will have 332 on the same ballot, and he
predicts Arthur's nomination on the second bal
lot
Thomas Wheeler, of Syracuse, who claims to
know whereof he speaks says Conkling is in ia
vor of any one to beat Arthur, and to that extent
is for Blaine.
NOT CANDIDATE.
Ben Harrison, of Indiana says he is not can
didate in any event, and will try to prevent the
presentation of his name. What he Mill do in
case his friends insist on naming he declines to
say.
NEW YORK FOR BLAINE.
A circular bearing the title sNew York for
Blaine, the voice of the Empire state calling
James G. Blaine to lead to victory" will be given
out tomorrow. 1t will read as follows: ITO
the National Republican convention: The Re-
publican districts of the state of New York, un-
der the rule of direct popular representation,
have declared emphatically for James G. Blaine
and this is their message to the National Repub-
lican convention: Blaine can get more votes in
the state of New York than any other man, and
can carry the state triumphantly. An analysis of
fI,a Do1
convention on the basis of the presidential vote
of 1880 shows that from President Arthurs own
state decided majority of the delegates to the
convention are opposed to his nomination. that
the overwhelming preponderance of delegates
from districts giving Republican majorities is for
Blaine; that twelve Republican districts and
four Democratic districts are for Blaine; that
five other districts send Edmunds, or anti-Arthur,
delegates, while but five Republican districts
send delegates for Arthur, large majority
if his support coming from ten
Democratic districts; that in the Blaine districts
there is an aggregate of 66,773 Republican ma
jorties against II, 7,456 Republican majorities in
Arthur districts, with 5,156 Democratic majori-
ties in Arthur districts. These facts and figures
are conclusive that in New York, as in other
states where electoral votes may be given to a
Republican candidate for president, the direct
Republican expression IS in favor Of James G.
Blane's nomination; indeed, that he is the &C
cepted leader of the Republican party to sure
victory, In full confidence that with James G..
Blaine as the Rep ublican standard bearer, the
state of New York will give him Its electoral
vote. The undersigned delegates from that
state commend the above statement to the fav-
orable consideration of the national convention.
