Mr Carlisle sand: E" think the people want Us
10 elect e Ian as senator who Will hep the party
10 carry the state next fall. Lithor Mr.. Evarts or
Mr. Morton would DO that. | am AFRAID that MI
Eyaris is too cold man, however. for the POSITION
Mr. Morton certainly greatly aided the hepub-
lIcau party in the past, and l thiuk he would
do so next fall just before came here went
orouud among the Republicans of my district to
learn what they were thinking about the senator
SHIN. found that they were opposed to the elec-
ton of any man wno did not heartily support the
Republisan ticket last fall. Tney were earnestly
onposrd TO the election Of President Arthur because
they do not think ne gave all the aid he could to
Mr. Blame Tie friends of Mr. Arthnr in reply 10
these complaints have said that he gave all the aid
he couid consistently with ms position
as President. To this the answer
is made that he felt himself free
TO aid Folgcr with all his power and he should
have felt no hostat on about doing al he could Tor
