The ahsencs or Senator .Eduunds from
the Republican ratification meeting held
here on Thursday night was seized upon
as IN opportunity to manufacture report
that he is feeling very sore over MI.
Blaine's nomination and it Is not disposed
to give it an Iactive support. The simple
truth is that MI. Edmunds was aick in bed
on Thursday night from an attack of neu.
ralg!a OF the stomach aud WAS utterly una
BILE to attend the meeting. He sent per-
sonal nots to the Chairman OF the meeting.
explaining the cause Of his atssnca and an.
nounclng his purpose to do all that he
could to secure the election OF Messrs,
Blaine aud Lrgan. This note, from sons
unknown Cause, was not read.
Last night Mr. Edmunds sent messen-
ger to General Logan, saying that he was
too i'll to leave his house, or be would have
called personally to congratulate him, but
he would do 80 at the earliest opportunity
possible. Senator Edmunds is as warm in
support of the ticket as any Republican
can be, and the story that he is otherwise
is baseless lie. He expects to take an
active part in the coming campaign, and
will epeak in several States if his health
will permit. 1E
The above statement of MI. Edmunds'
attitude in the Presidential cam paign
comes directly from himself, and settles
the fact that the ideal Presidential candi.
