to the effect that the late Secretary FoeGr
was dissatisfied with the action of.the Re.

heart did not desire the SUCCESS of,thr

the truth, nor moro unjustto Judge Folger,
who was as ardent and loyal Republican
as any man now living. l saw. him The
day after the nominations were made, and
conversed,with him about them. lie said
tho proceedings OF the convention clearly
showed that MI! Blaine 5was the free
choice OF IN overwhelming majority of
the Republican party, and that it was the
plain duty Of every, Republican 10. give
hlm the most earnest and hearty support.
THE tone Of the conversation through
out on Judge Folger's part CONVINCED me
that hcSwas sincerely anxious to have Mr..
Blaine asncceed, and that he would do
everything he could with plopriety to
promote that result. In subsequent con-
yersation on the Ellne subject he alluded
to the assertions made In regard to his
feelings toward Mr.. Blaine, and declared
That they were untrue, and; everybody
