looking not only cheerful, but apparently
in the best of spirits. He remarked
that the news from the convention had
not taken him by surprise, disappoint-
ments in politics being of such common
occurrence and 80 readily discounted. He

for publication a copy of this dispatch,
which reads as follows:
"Io the Honorable james g. Blaine-As
the candidate of the republican party you
will have my earnest and cordial support.

Senator Logan was found at his rooms
by a representative of the Associated
Press early this evening, and in answer

ion regarding the nomination of Mr..

Senator Edmunds spent the early part
OF the day and a part of the afternoon

HOW REPUBLICANS RECEIVED 1T IN
NEW YORK.
It was hard for anybody who ever visit
ed the Fifth-Avenue Hotel on a similar
occasion III the past and saw it last night,
to realize that Republican National Con-
vention had closed its business yesterday
and nominated a presidential ticket. Few
er people of any kind assembled there
than might have been encountered by the
visitor any evening during the past week,
while not person of any prominence in
political affairs was to be found in The
halls or public rooms of the building. The
Republican element might be said to have
been cOnspicuously absent, but it's thin
representation discussed the result of the
Chicago Convention in a listless way.
Their conversation would befit funeral
rather than occasion of rejoicing and,
where once was heard the enthusiasm of
eaeerness for courted contest, no word
but one of indifference was spoken.-N.
