you see the result. would rather have had
Arthur but my style is 10 support tho ticket
aid for that reason / don't think TINS Is a
proper timo for criticism"
Now, wo arc all for Blaine, said the Hon.
Jas u. Warren, as he INDUCED in Joshua
Whtcemb shindg in Arthur headquarters.
"Of course we prefer Arthur, but we pre-
ferrcd Blaine TO a dark horse. We are tired
Of pulling dark horses through, and the
thought that we have rogu ar star gSaer
uloasos u.s. The stalwarts will do their best
10 elect the ticket. They never kick. Feather
head are the llickors."
Can Blaine carry New York {"
"lf / could have Influenced delegate last
night l should have said he could not, but
tonight am disposed to think he cam
1.-THE campaign will be formed this year
very largely upon tho tariff ISSUE" said Con.
gresham Burloigh, of New York. People
viii look at Issues moro than candidates.
For that reason believe any republican can
carry New York"
I've held that j., convention c,p;s upon
every test vote, .s said Charles ,.,aI,is
have been nominated if the Independents,
who supported Edmunds, had been practical
meu. They had an opportunity to beat
Blaine, but did not seize It, They did not
realize that they were fooling with gun
that was loaded, and now they will go homo
kicking like steers because Blaine was nomi-
natod."
IF the Edmunds men had boen sincere in
their opposition TO Blaine, Arthur could have
been nominated" was the opinion expressed
by Silas b. butcher. Now that wo are
defeated" he continued, "wo do not propose
to ctiticisc the methods by which his nomi-
nation was secured, but will do what we can
to elect him. Republicans Of the school to
which / belong are not kickers. They are
loyal to the party, not alone to any one man
in it,"
During the last two days of the convention
the hall has been crowded with deadh rads.
Many of tho doorkeepers have acted in n
shameless manner during all the sessions.
Almost any one who was acquainted with
them could get in without a ticket. At tho
session Of this morning many people with
tickets to certain portions of the house were
excluded because desdhoads had taken pes
session Of their places. In some cases per-
sons who had come hundreds of miles to
attend the convention found their tickets
dishohored by those who had been kind
enough to stand at doors and see that all
their friends got in. That sOme of the
doorkeepers accepted brides appears probable,
but no absolute proof of it has come to light
The Massachusetts delegates were engaged
in active preparations for departure this
evening, and had little to say about the out
come of the convention.
Henry Cabot Lodge politely, but firmly,
declined to express any opinion. When
pressed to say whether he would vote for and
otherwise support Blaine he replied, rather
impatiently, 81 did not get my choice and
have nothing TO say Of the work of the con-
vention thus far"
who is the choice Of tho delegation for
vice president2" he was asked.
"Oh, we are all for Gresham" he replied.
Senator Hbar replied to similar questions
by saying, II 40 not care to say anything
whatever" With some show of vexaton he
cut short the conversation by saying: 81 am
opposed to being interviewed AT any time,
and Just now have nothing to say that would
benefit any one"
Haskell snid It WAS unjust to class the
Massachusetts, delegation as independents, as
they came here true republicans and would
return such.
''Will they give the nominee cordial sup
port2" Mr.. Haskell was asked.
AS good republicans they will vote the
ticket put forward by their party but there
will be nothing like the earnestness and
enthusiasm incident to the campaign with
Blaine as standard bearer that would have
obtained had Edmuuds or some other equally
good man been nominated"
"Will Mr.. Blaine poll tho full republican
vote of Massachusetts,
81 do not think he will. lie will loso more
east of the Alleghanies than any man We
would have nominated and if he carries the
states usually credited to the republicans in
New England, it will be surprise to more
, than one"

Blaine was n great mistake, aud the party
would discover il only after it was too late.
will the independents refuse to vote: for
him ?" was asked.
ITO n large extent yes"
"Will they work against him /"
''lf the democrats put up . good man they
will advance hisinterosts not only with votes,
but with money and active work"
Theodore Roosevelt would not say whether
he thought New York could be counted on
for the party or not, He did not say that
Blaine could not command the support that
Edmupds would have received, but thought
the Independents would vote for him rather
than for 4 democrat. Ho thought the con-
yentien might have done far better.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked by Mr.. Mckinley
to place Judge j, b. Foraker on nomination
for the vico presidency, but refused. He was
told that the request came from Foraker, but
he declined to have any part in the matter.
George William Curtis, being asked how he
viewed the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine, replied
that the action of the convention did not in
any wise change his known opinion us to the
wisdom of placing Mr.. Blaine in nomination.
Beyond,that he did not care to express him
self at this time.
